Another OMFGLOL, Erasure "Victim Of Love".  Dancing to the Cure, Cult & Erasure was how I spent most of 1987.

Glory!  Wish I'd known about this at the time. 

Erasure were not on your 16-year-old's radar in '87?

No - I didn't know about alternative stations at the time, so was still listening to straight Top 40.  Pun halfway intended: Pittsburgh's B-94 wouldn't even play "Chains of Love" or "A Little Respect" two years later, and those both went pop Top 10!

I adore Chains of Love -- it's one of my go-to feel good songs.

That sounded like a looooong version of Paradise City.  I got pretty tired of it, actually.

I know what you mean.  I would have much preferred Mr Brownstone, or Sweet Chile o' mine.  Not a fan of Paradise City.

That exchange b/w the journalists asking Tom Petty and Dylan (?) about their collaboration, and the smart-ass answers provided by TP reminded me of this great quote by Frank Zappa:

"Rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read."

If the first half of the set had LDS connotations, at least now we've got the Cure!  BOS to "Hot, Hot, Hot!!!" (3 bangs to distinguish from the David Johansen)
The song before Los Lobos was the Cure?  I had no idea.  Never heard it before.

What song? Obviously it wasn't La Bamba.

methinks you misread that.  Dave hadn't heard "Hot, Hot, Hot!!!" which was followed by "Come On, Let's Go", which he did ID as Los Lobos.

Ah, gotcha. Yes, I misread--paying too much attention to work. Thanks for the ID on Come on, Let's Go.

I put up a link to the player.  How many of the other old links are rotten?  Seems like KINK is bad.  email me, as I don't have time to rummage in this folder much.
