Title: 18 March 2014: it's... 1986
Post by: RGMike on March 18, 2014, 08:23:16 AM
'60s would be nice, since we missed out on a 5-decade week last week. But I'm not holding my breath.

Just tuned in and heard this -- relieved it's pre-set, cause I don't need to go to 1987 today.

ah, but close: 1986, starting with one of my all time HFHs, "I Wanna Be a Cowboy".  His name is Ted  -- oh yeah that's just hilarious.  WOS1.

So, still nothing to replace the RnR Roulette Wheel?  Big Wheel? Digital thingamajig?

True. She actually likes what she does, and it's infectious, even when the set in question is diappointing.

Here's the rundown.

3/18/14 1986
1. I Wanna Be a Cowboy - Boys Don't Cry
(Reagan/Contras)
2. I Still Believe - The Call
3. Take My Breath Away - Berlin
4. Blue Hotel - Chris Isaak
(Andy and Fergie get hitched)
5. September Gurls - Bangles
6. Behind the Wall of Sleep - The Smithereens
(Woody Allen & Dianne Wiest-Hannah and her Sisters)
7. I Didn't Mean To Turn You On - Robert Palmer (BOS!!)
(Pretty in Pink)
8. To Be A Lover - Billy Idol
9. Wildest Dreams - Moody Blues
10. Paranoimia - Art of Noise

Can't say I was over the moon about this set, but outside of the Call tune, it managed to avoid most of the usuaLN suspects. My BOS is Smithereens.

You were working in media in the 80s and therefore were more in tune with advertising and pop culture?  because I don't think it was overhyped.  Either that, or I bought into the hype.  I liked the show.

Paranoimia - I saw the Art of Noise around this time, maybe 1987, at the Ritz.  The dude in the band took off his tie and put it on his head, like he was an investment banker getting CRAZY.  Kinda ruined it for me.

BOS Bangles

The show, despite a barrage of publicity by ABC, flopped. (at least on this side of the Atlantic; it was pretty popular in the UK) And yet we had Max Headroom making a record with Art of Noise... Max Headroom doing Pepsi commercials... and so on. People over 30 were like, "whotheFUCK is Max Headroom??"  Seemed like overkill to me, considering how shortlived the MH phenomenon was.

So, still nothing to replace the RnR Roulette Wheel?  Big Wheel? Digital thingamajig?

That is a little surprising, and disappointing.  Also the fact that they're using Renee's opening
with "Annalisa" overdubbed.  I'm hoping it's not a sign of less effort on AL's part.  I'm willing
to blame the crutches for now if things improve in the future.

Does a short-lived show, a commercial, and one song add up to over-hyped?  I wouldn't think so,
but I can't say since that was during a twelve-year period when I watched essentially no television
whatsoever.

Eventually I saw Max Headroom, and I like the show.  It seems somewhat prescient, what with
themes about widespread public obsession with vacuous video entertainment, manipulation of
consumer consumption, and income inequality resulting in a bifurcated society.
