Roy Orbison? Like him, but I don't think "1986" from him.

Still, *anything* different is good by me.

Indeed. Did it actually chart after Blue Velvet came out? Or is this just wishful thinking on AL's part?

it didn't, but kudos for thinking outside the box (however briefly) this morning, AL.

apparently both the HoJo and the DD were bustouts. Haven't researched the Smiths tune yet.

ETA: "Bigmouth" really did strike again --- not a bustout (Dave's even played it)

BOS Sigue Sigue Sputnik!
I did look up Sigue Sigue Sputnik to see if it was '85 for one of SG's fake requests on IE's fake '85 thread. Nope, but now it shows up on the real life '86 10@10. Um, I think y'all say, "TANC."

Agree! That song has special HS graduation memories for me.

Apropos of nothing to do with this set, just wanted to commend HTY on his choice of signature lines.  Had to do a double take to make sure I was reading it right, but there it is. Watch where you point that Gun, buddy.

(It's a line from an old Uncle Tupelo song called Gun, if you're not familiar with them or the song. Jeff Tweedy, who wrote this song, went on to become an indie rock messiah in Wilco, which rose from the ashes of UT.)
Let's get right to it.
