1 June 2012: it's... 1985
« on: May 31, 2012, 09:31:02 PM »
DC's favorite year.  I will say that this was a pretty impressive week, range-wise, considering that we were prepared for the worst.

And once again I have to to actual *work* at work (the nerve!) and will miss this '85 excursion. Hope some of the fab suggestions on FB actually get played.

This isn't one of my fave Huey Lewis & The News songs, but I like them anyway (for different reasons than RG).   ;)

It has gotten more than its share of 10@10 play, that's for sure.

Song 2 is NTM.
Me too. No idea who it is.

ETA: I was gonna say it sounded like the Sex Pistols crossed with a hip-hop group, which appears to be pretty close to the truth.

This "World Destruction" is NTM and a bit annoying at parts but also catchy. Definitely glad she played it.

John Lydon (or PiL? ) with Afrika Bombaataa I think?  SG would know, b/c she's OG.

Yeah, Song 2 was a welcome gamechanger.

I'm not too ashamed to admit I like "The Old Man Down The Road".

Great Nancy quote:

"I'm aware of people trying to use my husband..."
Q: "You're more aware than he is?"
"Yes"

But will Annalisa get the "just say no" clip in somewhere? All signs point to "yes"!

I suggest you run through the jungle. That'll clear it up.

#4 is NTM. Very good rarity factor for '85.

Love both the song and vid for "Don't Come Around Here No More".  Nice production by Dave Stewart, might I add.

Was that Madeline Kahn? Didn't sound familiar.

Tom Petty needs to follow his own advice.
