Title: 12 December 2011: It's....... 1986!
Post by: Big Fingers McGee on December 11, 2011, 03:14:39 PM
Maybe this will be like last week's 1994, which exceeded most expectations.

AL's track record in '86 has been good  -- better in the pre-DC era, of course,  but just looking at the last 4 '86 sets she's managed bustouts/rarities in each and we've gotten the likes of Human League, Cameo, etc.

OTOH, SRW wants Lionel Ritchie and Phil Collins.

Please, oh please, let AL play some Oran "Juice" Jones!

Superman is an awfully bad song

well, it's a cover of a cheezy '60s bubblegum ditty, and I'm sure Mr Stipe was tongue-in-cheek.

VHM Note-Note-Note-torious.

Yes, Smiths! I was only joking when you should have been bludgeoned in the head...

BOS also for Howard Jones.

What do you call a Katrina that is not annoying? Prince's Kiss is that.

Stipe refuses to play Superman now and hates that song.

Roy Orbison? Like him, but I don't think "1986" from him.

Still, *anything* different is good by me.

Indeed. Did it actually chart after Blue Velvet came out? Or is this just wishful thinking on AL's part?

it didn't, but kudos for thinking outside the box (however briefly) this morning, AL.

apparently both the HoJo and the DD were bustouts. Haven't researched the Smiths tune yet.

ETA: "Bigmouth" really did strike again --- not a bustout (Dave's even played it)

I did look up Sigue Sigue Sputnik to see if it was '85 for one of SG's fake requests on IE's fake '85 thread. Nope, but now it shows up on the real life '86 10@10. Um, I think y'all say, "TANC."

Apropos of nothing to do with this set, just wanted to commend HTY on his choice of signature lines.  Had to do a double take to make sure I was reading it right, but there it is. Watch where you point that Gun, buddy.

(It's a line from an old Uncle Tupelo song called Gun, if you're not familiar with them or the song. Jeff Tweedy, who wrote this song, went on to become an indie rock messiah in Wilco, which rose from the ashes of UT.)
