TOTHK is "Money for Nothing," VHM to OMD's "So in Love," a lovely production.

BOS to forgotten T.Twins, "Lay Your Hands on Me."  Someone'll BOS Tom Waits's original "Downtown Train," but it won't be me.

OMFG indeed! And the song really did get some spins on alternative WLIR in suburban NY at the time. I actually own the 45 of this. Sorry I missed it.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

WLIR?  I remember that station when I lived in Brooklyn in the 80s.  They played some interesting stuff, turned me onto  Shona Laing's "Glad I'm Not a Kennedy" and "Soviet Snow."

Oh my yes! They were a fine station. I have that Shona Laing 45 too.. I wish Rob or Ginger would play it in the appropriate year ('87? '88?)

Just catching up after a busy week...and I had that album on cassette.  Those were both great tunes.  Whatever happened to her?
