I'm in, and a big BOS for "Pale Shelter", my favorite TFF tune.

Running a lot of in-house errands, some related to the move, some related to a trip I'm taking later this week to Rehoboth Beach, DE.  (I'll be gone Thursday through Saturday.)

BOS to Adam Ant!  In text-language, that'd be "dsprt but not srs."

I like the Tom Petty song, and I think I hear some of the inspiration for Patty Smyth's "The Warrior".

VHM A Flock Of Seagulls, this has been a very zeitgeist-ful set for me.

VHM from me as well.  We heard this one in this week's Casey '80s countdown.  (Which, Mark, you might have found a sledgehammerish set.)

At age 10, I missed the meaning of this in both this song and "She Bop."

I had a phone call & missed the REM tune (belated BOS#3) and so couldn't figure your reference out until the back announce.

Jeez, Dave plays this one all the time, but has never once played "Antmusic" . 

07/14/2008 - Monday! A great time in...1983!!
 
1.  Psychedelic Furs - Love My Way   
2.  Tears For Fears - Pale Shelter   
3.  Michael Jackson - Beat It   
4.  Eurythmics - Love is a Stranger   
5.  Thomas Dolby - Europa & the Pirate Twins   
6.  Adam Ant - Desperate...But Not Serious (BEST OF SET!!)   
7.  Genesis - It's Gonna Get Better   
8.  Tom Petty - Change of Heart   
9.  REM - Catapult   
10.  Flock of Seagulls - Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)   
 
BONUS TRACK:  Dave Edmunds - Slipping Away

Glad to see I didn't miss anything truly earth-shattering (I'd've BOS'd the Crock o'Siegals, tho').

Still have T-shirt from my visit to Dogfish Head pub in Rehoboth Beach a few years ago, good times!
