'60s would be nice, since we missed out on a 5-decade week last week. But I'm not holding my breath.

No clue from AL last night?

Nope -- guess she was busy celebrating St Pats.
oy: pre-set, we get "Touch of Grey".

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

Although that's not too far off...

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?

This is not much of an an improvement.

The 'Listen Live' on kfog.com isn't working for me (it's how I usually listen).
Is anyone else seeing this?
What other ways can I listen online?
Thanks.

I listen on my dumbphone, which is the only way now that Zoll has stopped most online streaming. You can get an app for it.

Chris Isaak twice in less than a week is overdoing it, IMHO, much as I like "Blue Hotel".

Nice! NTM, and doesn't sound much like their other songs.
-
another uber-LN: Smithereens, a song I once loved and now only need to hear about once a year -- if that.
-
BOS for Smithereens, in honor of the Random Numbers.

The Smithereens "Behind The Wall Of Sleep"
This was a big fave when it was a current. The set seems to be taking an upward tack.

Yeah, this is a good one. I've never heard of Cherelle.

Pretty in Pink --> Billy Idol "To be a Lover".. another LN for me, though she coulda played OMD's PIP hit which woulda been even worse.

Yeah, this is a good one. I've never heard of Cherelle.
I'll have to include the original in a '84 set.

Max Headroom -- was there ever a more overhyped nothing in the '80s?
eek, we're gonna get his "hit" too? WOS2.

AL seems to having lots of fun during the backsell, something which I never sensed with RR.

And I appreciate that she doesn't feel the need to obsessively list EVERY SINGLE SONG NUMBER like RR did.

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.
-
AL finally got around to posting the BOS winner on her FB page (and apologized for taking so long in getting her vote-tallying act together). Today's winner: Robert Palmer and his quartet of android hotties.
-
I of course loved Max Headroom!
-
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.
