9 May 2013: it's... 1989

[RGMike]

"The year we found out about Fahrfugnugen" (misspelled, I'm sure).

DC's dream of 2 '90s sets per week has been achieved!

ETA: wait, what? It's not 1990, even tho' that's when those Volkswagen commercials started running? Oh, bugger.

RR/DC has visited 1990 surprisingly only once (Nov. 20), but that one time has been rebroadcast twice (Feb. 18 and Apr. 22).

That was quite a snoozy set. I'm guessing we get at least one song from it today (Midnight Oil? Jane's Addiction?) and maybe MC Hammer to keep it from being too white.

The Sound is doing '83 and their '80s sets are not exactly worldbeaters either.

TOTHLN: TP.  I'm outta here.

Thank you CapnJack for doing the dirty work, for sticking it out to post the songs.  Taking a bullet for the team.

Eric Clapton "Pretending"

I think a Dave Morey airing of this song inspired the first time I ever typed the word "Crapton".

[RGMike]

Lou Reed "Dirty Boulevard"

I'd call this the best thing so far, but it's not exactly rare either.

[CapnJack]

Driving Miss Daisy into the B-52s "Roam"

[Davefish]

Lou Reed "Dirty Boulevard"

I'd call this the best thing so far, but it's not exactly rare either.

Hey, what's a "TV whore"? Transvestite?
