Wow, three simultaneous Wednesday threads--that's some kind of record.

But I defer to Mark's, which was first. The App Does Not Lie.

Here's what I said in my opener:

Perhaps Love is Like Oxygen? Bob Seger? Cheap Trick?

"Pump It Up" as the top of the hour cooker reminds me of my introduction ot New Wave music.  In the fall of '77 I was a sophmore on the cross country team, and there was a senior who was pretty much doing it for his health (i.e. he was only J.V. & pretty slow at that) named Bernstein.  But his locker was opposite mine & he aways had a all these interesting records in it because immediately after practice he'd head over to our HS radio station and play his show: "Riding the Crest of the New Wave".  From him I first heard Elvis, Clash, Marley, Sex Pistols, and all the rest.  Not many 15 year olds in St. Louis were as precocious as me at that time, and I owed it all to Bernie.

Well, he's not going to do it playing this sappy Genesis song. Blatant attempt to chart a single, imo. Worked, too.

Your high school had its own radio station?  Damn, I'm envious.

I'm also stressed right now.  I've a million things to do to prep for a summit in DC this weekend and I can't get myself interested.  Writing about music and gay sports seems so utterly trivial that I'm making myself sick.  I know, Morford addressed this very topic today, but while his words are sage, they're just not sinking in.  Engaging life on this distant level is all I can handle for now.

What was the problem with yesterday's set? It wasn't stellar, but it was decent. XTC, Stones, Prince, Gary Numan, Dire Straits, Split Enz. (ETA: Oh yeah, and Blondie, too!) Save for the Eddie Money song, what's not to like?
