BOS TMBG -- this is NTM, never got a lick of NYC airplay.

you should have called their Dial-A-Song hotline!

I'm trying to remember if I ever called it.  I know I was aware of it.  (I learned about TMBG when MTV put "Don't Let's Start" into occasional rotation.)

Never heard this one.  Good stuff.

They could use some real trumpets in there.

a guy where I worked called it once and said "listen to this" and handed the phone to me.  I can't recall the song I heard, but I was unimpressed at the time.  I did become a real TMBG fan a couple years later and wished I had seen them back when I still lived in NYC.

They'll Need a Crane is an amusing video.  It shows the band, consisting of the two Johns and bunch of senior citizens men.  They're playing near the main fountain in Central Park: http://vimeo.com/7725846

This one I *do* remember, but it was a fairly minor alt-radio hit as I recall. I'm wondering how many of the songs we've heard so far were being played by KFOG in '88.

Church's Reptile sounds good.  Echo and the Bunnymen-esque

I quit. I give up. WOS Mrs. Simon. What she am is what she are and what she is now is an Upper-East-side society matron.

BOS for Graham Parker.  I've always liked this one.

And another BOS for "Heathers".  That's an intense movie.  Especially Christian Slater's best Jack Nicholson.

Tighten up Vol 88 was a great album.. my fave from that is The Battle of All Saints Road

Biggest BOS I think for Jane saying what she wants to say about her addiction. (though she never mentions the word "addiction"...)
