1 Feb 2011: it's... a mystery to me (1986)

[RGMike]

VHM Bon Jersey.  But it's heading to AL-trina territory.

Frasier Crane --> Wang Chung. It's tradition!

I could be wrong, I could be right, but "Rise" gets my overall BOS.

PiL rules!

[RGMike]

damn, this is a long set -- clap it off already.

Oh wait -- BOS4 PIL.

double damn -- I didn't remember the PIL being that long.

[RGMike]

OMFG!!!  uber-BOS2 Bowie's fantabulous, underheard "Absolute Beginners"  One from my '86 wishlist. I'm gobsmacked, I tells ya!

I can't remember if I ever actually requested the Bowie tune. If I did, it was a while ago... and that means AL really does have a little black book that she scribbles these requests into for future reference.

Or it could just be great minds thinking alike

[Big Fingers McGee]

damn, this is a long set -- clap it off already.

Oh wait -- BOS4 PIL.

double damn -- I didn't remember the PIL being that long.

My brain may be fried today, but what is PIL?
