"Digging Your Scene" is an uber-uber LN? I've never heard it on the radio. Maybe you just think it's an awful song?

I loved it back in the day, but it's a 10@10 perennial (certainly a Moreytrina and AL's played it too). For a lot of stations it's one of those "Hey, here's a pop/new wave ditty that makes us look hip"

I didn't know that. I've probably thought, "'Hey, here's a pop/new wave ditty that makes [me] look hip'" when I've requested it on the FB.
