sheesh, what an awful day! Oddly enuf, Austin "Bob"s 1992 set was the best of the lot, as it actually dared to play serious pop hits of that year.

Hrrm. 87 vs. 89. I may stick with the KFOG set. There's a couple big K's coming in that one, but some decent stuff, too.

Big Fat BOS!!!

If Larry keeps this up, he will remove my love for KFOG (at least until Dave resurfaces).

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.

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

ETA:  I was going to accuse Dave of never palying Erasure, but in fact he has a few times, including this song once.  But it seems like he doesn't because half of the Erasure entries are in 2004, and only one in the past 21 months.

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

I'm pretty sure some of the clubs in Pacific Beach segued from Erasure to G'n'R back then, too.  Bang your head.

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.

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!

another of those artists you'd think Dave would love (and not just for the gay angle) that he doesn't seem overly-enamored of.

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."
