19 April 2011: it's... 1985
« on: April 18, 2011, 07:50:16 PM »
AL goes back to the future. Hopefully she'll spare us the Huey Lewis...

we've already got requests for "Centerfield", "We Are the World", the Hooters.... and (yes) "We Built This City"

Didn't Dusti Rhodes work in radio, possibly even KFOG? One would think she'd have more inspired requests.

Yeah, I remember listening to Dusti Rhodes on KFOG.  Pretty middle-of-the road requests there...

But her last job was DJing for KDFC (Classical), and a stint at KFRC doing oldies, so I guess that being a DJ doesn't always mean you have the most cutting-edge of taste in songs.

Late to the request party due to having my 19th nervous breakdown trying to assemble an IKEA dresser.  (Words on instructions would be nice. Grrr.)

Requested The Smiths' Headmaster Ritual anyway.  Same old joke since 1902...

rooting for ya -- someone else asked for "How Soon is Now" and since we got Soho's "Hippychick" recently I'm afraid AL might be tempted to go with that.

There was an episode of The Wire from I think Season 1 where McNulty gets majorly frustrated putting something together from IKEA - so he feels your pain. 

I know it's not cool to say this, but I think that store is vastly overrated. Don't get me started on their shipping scam. And I've had similar assembly issues.

Early BOS to "Head Over Heels," which (TANC) a bar buddy was just this weekend touting as one of the best songs of the decade.  (I think EWTRTW is better, but he has a point.)

He was trying to put together beds for his kids.  The Jamesons wasn't helping -- don't drink and assemble.
