[Beej]

Hi. I have nothing really pertinant to say except I keep having high school flashbacks thanks to today's set.

HM Donny Iris.
I like this.

"Ah! Leah!" is the #29 entry on my All-Time Personal Top 40.

Gaz, what's yours if it's not your homeboy?

blech.

1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 195, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989...

hello, it's the 80s.  With very few exceptions, it was a corny decade, people.  Who took any music seriously? Enjoy it for what it was...  

airbrush, cheesy 80s music fan all the way (and yes I do have other decades of music represented on my iPod)

i love the 80's, too. i just know what to expect from 10@10 80's sets. and it ain't karla bonoff, corey hart, the pointer sisters, or klymaxx.

"he was hittin' the beer"

that's some heavy pain.

[princessofcairo]

so i wasn't terribly inspired, but quite a refreshing break from the norm '81 set!

Yep, it had its moments, although it paled in comparison to yesterday's superb offering. I dug the Reagan shooting announcement that Dave played over the end of Controversy, and I admit kind of digging the Joe Walsh tune, in a flashback sort of way.

does the position on your ATPT40 equal the top chart position of the song for its release year?

should we have an area devoted just to lists?  I don't have any, but a lot of you do.

Well, the first topic of the day should have some generic title like the date in it, so people can find the thread later.  I won't be around to do this a lot while I'm at school, so y'all better get it right the first time! :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

bah. too much order. plus anyone can figure out the date of the thread, especially since we're following the "thread a day" rule quite well.

anyway, the original post title contained today's date and the year. so what if 'january' was spelled in dutch? it adds a little karakter. a little flavor.

please don't edit my posts! a czj avatar is greatly appreciated, but don't edit my text. if we start that, mshray is bound to go red pencil crazy on beej's posts.

[ggould]

please don't edit my posts!

No problem.  I had asked someone the same question yesterday, and was told to proceed.  I guess I thought I was just being janitorial, not dictatorial.  But how was it spelled?  I can put it back.  Can you edit your own posts anyway?

This brings up a good question.  I will be very busy starting next week until June, and have no desire to be a big nazi around here.  If you guys like staying here for a while, no problem.  I can give moderator tools to anyone who wants them, and it probably would be a good idea for each topic to have a moderator besides me, or more than one!
