Tue 3/25/14: March 1984

Spinal Tap trailer -- BOS.

LNs: Thompson Twins, Cars, JCM, and (sadly) Tracey Ullman, which I still love but it's become the go-to "look how cool we are to like this one" pop hit.

BOSes: Duran², "New Moon on Monday"; Berlin "No More Words"; Pretenders "Time The Avenger".

VHMs: Huey "Walking on a Thin Line"; Tony Carey "Fine Fine Day"

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! uber-LN and uber-WOS Yes, "Leave It" -- I swear this comes up in Rob's '84 sets no matter what month of '84 he's highlighting.

[Big Fingers McGee]

Duran2, "New Moon on Monday"; Berlin "No More Words"; Pretenders "Time The Avenger".

VHMs: Huey "Walking on a Thin Line"; Tony Carey "Fine Fine Day"

Any of these would spice up an 84 set.

Which JCM tune? "Authority Song"? And which Cars? "Magic"?

I would agree on your assessment of Tracy Ullman.

[RGMike]

Which JCM tune? "Authority Song"? And which Cars? "Magic"?

yes on the JCM. The Cars tune was "You Might Think".
