	3:19pm dave wuz here: ↳ Song: "New Toy" by "Lene Lovich" pure adolecent nostalgia trip
	3:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ dave wuz here @3:19 Hi dave! Love Lovich!
	3:20pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "A Million Miles Away" by "Plimsouls" This is a great jangle rush of a tune.
	🥁 3:20pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "A Million Miles Away" by "Plimsouls" I think there were 2 versions of this then, right?
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @3:20 Plimsouls were amazing
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:20 Not that I'm aware of. Edits?
	3:21pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:18 haha ("eye brow", you mean?!) ...and the mock disinterest of Michael Stipe, and the casual congeniality of Mike Mills...
	3:21pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Song: "A Million Miles Away" by "Plimsouls" How many of us crushed hard on Deborah Foreman in the movie "Valley Girl"?....(raises hand)
	🥁 3:21pm WLSClark: Seems like I have 12" single and 45 and there was different version? Not remembering well now tho. Love it.
	3:21pm patrick321: Always loved this one!
	3:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @3:21 Still my 80s dream girl!
	🥁 3:22pm WLSClark: ↳ Discotech Underground @3:21 What a film!
	3:22pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "A Million Miles Away" by "Plimsouls" Always love to hear this one! Saw them reformed in LA once
	3:22pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:22 She never really did much after that. A couple of other films here and there and then gone.
	3:23pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Discotech Underground @3:21 never saw that, don't know who she is hi Kip!
	3:23pm Candy-O'67: ↳ WLSClark @3:16 Hey Clark! You missed out! Haha
	3:24pm StringOFperils: Goode day to thee. Heard The Plimsouls and it woke me
	🥁 3:25pm WLSClark: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:23 Not as world-y as you, GO GIRL! ;)
	3:27pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ WLSClark @3:22 Hi, Clark!
	3:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:24 Hey String!
	3:27pm Discotech Underground: Frank Zappa was always bemused at the fact that his song "Valley Girl" started a trend when it was actually pretty scathing.
	3:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @3:27 Lots of folks missed the point
	3:27pm Candy-O'67: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:23 You never saw Valley Girl? Wow! Cult classic! You should check it out! Great music in it!😁
	3:28pm Candy-O'67: ↳ WLSClark @3:25 Haha!
	3:29pm coelacanth∅: hi Candy! - guess i still could. ...add it to the list
	3:29pm Tara: I AM LOVING THIS
	3:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Tara @3:29 Hi Tara! Thanks!
	3:30pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "The Cutter" by "Echo and the Bunnymen" Oh, The "Porcupine" album! How intense. I think I was tripping upon first hearing it. Yikes!
	3:30pm StringOFperils: I missed that last one entirely at its time of release, as far I can remember...on Slash, no less
	3:30pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Discotech Underground @3:27 it's funny, and not the only example in american culture
	3:31pm TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @3:30 Slightly edgy. Hee ha.
	3:31pm StringOFperils: Yes. Porcupine seems to recall some acid days.
	3:32pm dave wuz here: saw echo & bunnymen in 84 with the fakest ID ever
	3:32pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "The Cutter" by "Echo and the Bunnymen" One of my very fave bands of the '80's right here! So damn good!!
	🥁 3:32pm WLSClark: I dont understand why the arrows never work on this show.
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: I didn't get to see them until the late 80s, but they were amazing then
	3:32pm Candy-O'67: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:29 Do it!
	3:33pm coelacanth∅: i bought the crocodiles album because i liked the band name echo & the bunnymen. had never heard them. immediately liked the music, but it's hard to get past the terrible production on that.
	3:33pm Candy-O'67: ↳ dave wuz here @3:32 Love that!! I had a good fake ID back then, too!
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: Anybody else remember these guys? If you grew up within earshot of Philly you def heard this
	🥁 3:34pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Escalator Of Life" by "Robert Hazard and the Heroes" Never even realized this was a top 40 hit until couple years ago. Always thought it didn't sell like many I heard back then on radio.
	3:34pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "Escalator Of Life" by "Robert Hazard and the Heroes" High school daze coming back right here!
	3:35pm dave wuz here: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:34 constant airplay in boston back then
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: This is the guy that wrote Girls Just Want To Have Fun
	3:35pm bradford: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:34 Absolutely! I remember hearing it on WMMR.
	3:35pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:34 In TX, too! We were into all of this music!
	🥁 3:35pm WLSClark: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:34 OR early bar years for me. haha
	3:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:34 never heard of them/this; or Bonnie Hayes either
	3:35pm StringOFperils: I remember this stuff...neo-goth kids in the early 80s. Vampire bars. Good for chewing on your back teeth in the dark somewhere
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bradford @3:35 WMMR played a bunch of local bands early on, these guys, Hooters, The A's
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: There are def a few versions of this one. It was remixed/reissued when it started to cross over to pop radio
	3:36pm Candy-O'67: ↳ WLSClark @3:35 Haha! Me, too, with my fake ID at 16 in '83 that said I was 21! Drinking age was 19 then.
	🥁 3:36pm WLSClark: These early MTV years were great. Then, around 1985 I quit buying new stuff because I was just buying everything to have everything.
	🥁 3:37pm WLSClark: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:36 Yeah 19 in NE too, but could go to Iowa and it was 18!
	3:38pm Candy-O'67: ↳ StringOFperils @3:35 Ha, right! One of the places we could get into was #'s - all ages most of the time. Houston's #1 goth club still to this day!
	3:38pm Candy-O'67: ↳ WLSClark @3:37 Louisiana was 18 back then, too!
	3:39pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Escalator Of Life" by "Robert Hazard and the Heroes" it's possible i heard this in the clubs at the time. i usually went outside for air when techno/synthdancepop came on...or disengaged my eardrums! (sorry)
	3:39pm StringOFperils: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:38 The Voodoo Club, and Sanctuary at one time or another, in Toronto
	🥁 3:39pm WLSClark: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:38 I dont have any idea now. maybe 21 or 22??? Of course, bars weren't open all night either.
	🥁 3:40pm WLSClark: CRENSHAW!!!!!!!
	3:40pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Can't Get Enough Of You Baby" by "Colour Field" there's a newer version of this, with horrible singing, which is the only version i've heard. had no idea it went back this far.
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: I turned 19 in 1981 when it was still 19 in NJ and NY. went up to 21 sometime in the next few years
	3:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Whenever You're On My Mind" by "Mashall Crenshaw" Ah, know this song/album, saw Crenshaw around the time it came out.
	🥁 3:40pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Whenever You're On My Mind" by "Mashall Crenshaw" His music was great then. Fave Waste of Time B side still my fave of his.
	3:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:40 It goes back to like 1966. It's a Questionm Mark and the Mysterians song
	3:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:40 Now he's touring as a semi-permanent lead singer for the Smithereens
	3:42pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:41 really! never heard their version either
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:42 I think the Toys and the Four Seasons did it too
	3:42pm Sem: Love Crenshaw.
	🥁 3:43pm WLSClark: Anyone for Split Enz? My #1 of 80's is One step Ahead.
	3:43pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Can't Get Enough Of You Baby" by "Colour Field" Why Smashmouth had a monster hit with that and not Colourfield still mystifies me. Workings of the biz I guess.
	3:43pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:41 Very cool! I saw the Smithereens on the beach in Galveston in their hayday back in the '80's! So much fun! I wonder if Dennis remembers that show!
	3:44pm StringOFperils: ↳ WLSClark @3:43 Fantastic first-class pop record. And cool video
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:43 No Split Enz but a track by one of their former members is coming up in a few minutes
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:43 I used to go see the Smithereens when they were a local bar band, like 43 years ago!
	🥁 3:44pm WLSClark: I know he sold a ton of records, but Rick Springfield's late 70s and 80s songs were constanyly blasting for me too.
	3:44pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:44 So cool, Larry!
	🥁 3:45pm WLSClark: ↳ StringOFperils @3:44 Yes, back when MTV would play it and I Got you. The laser etched vinyl LP and 45 were just the coolest too.
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:44 Back at the late lamented Court Tavern in New Brunswick, NJ. I took my sons up there last week and I couldn't stop talking about what had been torn down, closed or otherwise forgotten
	3:46pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:42 that's amazing. maybe i have heard the song, along the way...just because it seems likely
	3:46pm Candy-O'67: The Smithereens and The Cars - two bands that stand the test of time! Sound just as good today as they did back then!
	🥁 3:46pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:44 Finn Bros!!! Loved Crowded House too.
	3:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:45 Six Months In a Leaky Boat!
	3:46pm Erica: ↳ WLSClark @3:44 Today the radio will not stop playing Jesse's Girl. It's annoying.
	🥁 3:46pm WLSClark: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:46 cars spoiled you with Candy!
	3:47pm Funky16Corners: Speak O' the Devil!
	3:47pm TDK60: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:45 Larry, oh the old Court Tavern is gone? That was a unique joint. I got to play there in about '86 or '87.
	🥁 3:47pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @3:46 I agree, but its just like Queen or Pilot's Magic. Great stuff, but too much is too much.
	3:47pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Song: "I Don't Want To Lose You" by "Smithereens" Saw the original band twice, hung out with them after one of the shows. Pat and Jim were super nice guys.
	3:47pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:45 That's too bad! I hate it when cool places close! Satellite Lounge was a very cool place to see shows in Houston. It's long gone now along with Mary Jane's that was down the street! Such great memories from the '90's at those two bars
	3:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Andres @3:43 i don't know that song. i liked their first (?) hit,"walking on the sun", but i've grown to despise his singing
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @3:47 The building is there but it's been shuttered for years
	3:48pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Discotech Underground @3:47 Awesome, Kip!
	3:48pm StringOFperils: The 1980s big beat. Beat that snare frame! Such a good band full of ideas
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: My youngest brother has played with Jimmy and Dennis in the Smithereens spinoff band Buzzed Meg
	3:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I Don't Want To Lose You" by "Smithereens" Buffalo Springfield riff to fade out...
	3:50pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "I Don't Want To Lose You" by "Smithereens" Dr Jazz. No! Guitar quote from Byrd's "I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better" there at the end.
	3:50pm Funky16Corners: Clark, this band is led by Phill Judd, and original member of Split Enz
	3:51pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:48 Vince Grogan? I just looked it up on Discogs. That is so cool Larry
	🥁 3:51pm WLSClark: Nick Heyward, Shoes, Rumour, XTC/Dukes, Utopia, Rockpile, Motels, Elvis, Howard Jones, etc etc all faves
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:51 That's my bro!
	🥁 3:51pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:50 Very cool. Never knew!
	3:51pm TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @3:50 Byrds'
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: This video got some earky days play on MTV
	3:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:45 i might've seen you there in the 80s; but usually, while you were at the court tavern i was a few miles away at the melody, or more likely patrix
	3:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I Don't Want To Lose You" by "Smithereens" Missed these guys in the 80s (missed a lot in the 80s, was heavily into jazz and catching up with jazz history that decade-didn't even know who Prince was, though I kept hearing his stuff in bars/restaurants everywhere...
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:51 I went to all those clubs! Played at the Court, FJ'd at the Melody, saw bands at Patrix!
	3:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ TDK60 @3:50 Could be, it was familiar, will want to listen back to it again as an archive (I do know that Byrds tune)
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: DJ'd...sheesh
	3:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:52 ha! we've probably shoved past each-other! (at least if it was the melody!)
	🥁 3:54pm WLSClark: Spongetones too. So good!
	3:55pm Andres: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:48 Don’t care for it much either but All Star is undeniable pop gold.
	3:55pm coelacanth∅: ...(well, not if you were djing) did you do any slam-dancing ("moshing") at patrix?
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:55 I did not, but I could be seen hauling ass at City Gardens and the Green Parrot
	3:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Andres @3:55 i'll check it out. maybe get past it
	3:56pm doctorjazz: I did hit some of the clubs downtown NYC in the late 70s, 80s, the Mudd Club, The Pyramid Club, Danceteria.
	3:57pm coelacanth∅: nice! i only went to city gardens for "bigger" names. it was a bit of a drive for us in union county.
	3:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:57 I know it well!
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:57 It was in such a bombed out area, but I saw so many bands there, Buzzcocks, Flipper, Hooters (before their hits), Smithereens, Hoodoo Gurus
	🥁 3:59pm WLSClark: Joe Jackson another consistent winner.
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:59 Oh crap, I forgot Joe! Next time, with Bram Tchaikovsky and a bunch of others I'm just remembering
	4:01pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I've got my late pass lowers head... Good afternoon everyone.
	🥁 4:02pm WLSClark: Bram--indeed! Elton Montello?
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:01 Hey Vincent!
	4:02pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Skin Deep" by "Stranglers" Brother watch out!
	🥁 4:03pm WLSClark: Every song reminds me of some song. This, the beat of the great mexican radio.
	4:03pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:59 i'm only remembering hüsker dü, dead kennedys, ramones... but i know i was there at least a 1/2 dozen times... blanking out. yes, remembering the desolation of the vicinity
	4:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:03 I think it was a former supermarket
	4:05pm Listener Scott: This show has been a deep-cuts of my HS years, some which I haven't heard in decades. Thanks Larry.
	🥁 4:06pm WLSClark: I still have old BETA tapes of MTV early days just letting player run recording.
	4:06pm Candy-O'67: ↳ WLSClark @3:59 Yessssss! Love him! Got to see him a few years ago at a cool theatre here, The Paramount! I saw Ronnie Spector and Bauhaus there, too!
	4:06pm Erica: ↳ Song: "It's My Life" by "Talk Talk" The original version.
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Listener Scott @4:05 Hey Scott! Glad you're digging it!
	4:06pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "It's My Life" by "Talk Talk" Damn, I wore this cassette tape out in the '80's!!!!
	🥁 4:06pm WLSClark: ↳ Candy-O'67 @4:06 As I said.....GO GIRL! How cool!
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:06 That took me a sec, I forgot about the No Doubt version
	4:07pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:06 Haha!!
	4:07pm Erica: ↳ Candy-O'67 @4:07 No Doubt who? Lol 😆
	4:07pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Erica @4:06 i've heard 2 covers, one with a female singer that's especially abominable
	4:07pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I'm still looking for the BBC session recording of "Talk Talk", I think it was Kid Jensen, maybe Peely. I used to have a 12" back in my younger days.
	4:08pm Erica: Seriously though I heard both versions of this song.
	4:08pm Andres: It’s My Life! Love it! And similarly why it was a big hit for No Doubt (crap version) boggles the mind.
	4:08pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Erica @4:07 Right!?!🤣
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: Just one of the greatest bands of the 80s. RIP Mark Hollis...
	4:09pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I thought No Doubt had all but broke up, and Stefani recorded this as a soloist....
	4:10pm coelacanth∅: at my 2nd job i get to hear countless abominations of Great songs. disrespectful vocal gymnastics and fake drums, thinking they are somehow improving on classic songs.
	4:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Rattlesnakes" by "Lloyd Cole and the Commotions" Ah, another one I know (and like)
	4:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:09 Nope, it's them: www.discogs.com...
	4:10pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Song: "Rattlesnakes" by "Lloyd Cole and the Commotions" Lloyd Cole & Commotions opened for the Smithereens the first time I saw them.
	4:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:10 We live in the laziest most uninspired times
	4:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:10 WOW! I wish I'd seen that!
	4:11pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:11 sad truth.
	4:11pm Funky16Corners: I love this album so much
	4:11pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:10 Very cool!
	4:11pm Vincent The Soul Chef: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:10 Ah... nevertheless, their first album truly was a masterpiece. Everything that followed however, was borderline trash.
	🥁 4:12pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:11 Yet, it is our generation who had the chance to change things......and we did nothing.
	🥁 4:15pm WLSClark: There IS a soundtrack to Valley Girl! It only has about 6 or 7 songs, but I found it for my roommate then as it was his fave movie. Kinda like my fave Airplane! soundtrack. Hard to find.
	4:18pm Erica: Counting the Beat is the only song I know from the Swingers from an Aussie music CD.
	🥁 4:19pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @4:18 Dont know how many times I bought various hits of NEW songs in 80s and often only know one song and it's a great one often too.
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: Rave-ups, Another 80s movie band, I think they're in Pretty In Pink
	4:20pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "It's My Life" by "Talk Talk" WFMU listeners may be aware more than most folks, that Talk Talk later went more "out."
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @4:20 Yeah, the later stuff is far out
	4:23pm TDK60: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:23 I like it.
	🥁 4:23pm WLSClark: ↳ TDK60 @4:20 Like when TDK60s became TDK120s.
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @4:23 Me too
	🥁 4:26pm WLSClark: ↳ WLSClark @4:23 Recordable tapes were so weird then. 30, 45, 60, 90, 120 minutes cassettes and 40 and 84 8-tracks? Crazy stuff. Chrome, non-chrome.....
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:26 I remember going to Crazy Eddies and buying boxes of TDks
	4:29pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Song: "Bed Of Nails" by "Cavedogs" Hooks you could hang meat from!
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:29 These guys were great
	🥁 4:31pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:27 Still amazed that vinyl and cassettes are viable products again.
	4:32pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Family" by "New Model Army" New Model Army. Strong cuts from them.
	4:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @4:32 Nothing like a punk record with violin!
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: Sorry about that gap. One of my channels wasn't playing
	🥁 4:35pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Strobe Light" by "B-52s" Somehow, I relate seeing B-52s to what it would have been like to see Talking Heads in someway.
	4:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Strobe Light" by "B-52s" Ahhh, another band Iknow (they're few and far between today).Saw them (when they were basically an Oldies act, though).
	4:35pm Vincent The Soul Chef: "LET ME KISS YOUR PINEAPPLE!!!"
	4:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ WLSClark @4:31 Never stopped buying vinyl (and never bought commercial cassettes).
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: I got to see the B-52s on their last tour with Ricky Wilson
	🥁 4:36pm WLSClark: ↳ doctorjazz @4:35 same here. Damned bootleggers, we!
	4:38pm Discotech Underground: Live radio!
	🥁 4:39pm WLSClark: Candy O blew my speakers, i think! haha
	4:39pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Gotta love it...
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:38 Ain't it a hoot?
	4:39pm dave wuz here: da cahs guy
	4:39pm patrick321: So many great tunes from Cars
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ dave wuz here @4:39 BAH-STIN
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ patrick321 @4:39 Their first two albums are solid hall of famers for me
	4:40pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "Got a Lot On My Head" by "Cars" 🙌🙌🙌
	4:40pm patrick321: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:40 Absolutely. 100%
	4:40pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:39 I prefer to be live actually. Pre-recording isn't the same...not as much fun. It's like when I was in real radio...you never know what will happen!
	4:41pm Candy-O'67: ↳ WLSClark @4:39 Haha!
	4:41pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:40 They are, largely due to Benjamin Orr who never got the props he deserved.
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:41 One of my all time favorite singers
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:40 I do too. I find it harder to prerecord, it doesn't feel natural
	4:42pm coelacanth∅: ↳ WLSClark @4:12 if you're talking about MY generation, the Xers, we certainly DID do something. we did cocaine and rum and vodka and shrooms...and facilitated the obliteration of all capitalist and environmental safeguards our parents worked so hard for, then raised 2 generations of privileged narcissists living in a fantasy world. that's a lot!
	4:43pm patrick321: Wow I had this on a promo cassette I got at the New Music Seminar that year - 85
	🥁 4:43pm WLSClark: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:40 However, we STILl went TO a radio station then to do live. Not sitting at home hoping internet doesnt go out.
	🥁 4:44pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Boy (Go)" by "Golden Palominos" This Golden Palomino has shades of REM.
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @4:44 That's cause they got Michael Stipe!
	4:44pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:27 druckers wholesale. tdk sa90s or 100s, 10/$10
	🥁 4:45pm WLSClark: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:42 Good job! haha I just played records. I just think of Knickerbockers' "Coming Generation" B side of "Lies" that I got for Christmas 65 and the line "Someday we will give you a president." Well, we did. Ugh
	4:45pm patrick321: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:42 coela we absolutely did cocaine I'm not certain about the rest tho you're probably right there too ;)
	4:45pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:42 Yeeah, Michael Stipe turned out to be an interesting musician. Kinda melted a high-lonesome sound into a modern voice. This sounds like Mitch Easter's involved too
	🥁 4:45pm Yvang: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:44 Ah!
	4:46pm TDK60: Yeah Yvang, Stipe on vocal. This was an '80s newfolkrocknewwave supergroup. I heard it all over college radio back then. I was surprised it did well.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: WEED AND BEER! WEED AND BEER!
	4:46pm TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @4:46 Tho, I liked it.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:45 I don't think Easter is on this
	4:47pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 Well, there's a bit of his Athens in there, whoever brought it
	4:48pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Song: "Disturbance at Heron House" by "R.E.M." Peter Buck used to come into the hole in the wall record shop I worked at in the New Orleans French Quarter. Cool guy. Always eager to talk records and hang out. Then this LP came out and we never saw him again.
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:48 He was def the record collector of the band
	4:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ patrick321 @4:45 to be honest, I didn't do all that. i protested reagan, a lot., and never made a family. barely did vodka, shrooms or coke; although i drank enough rum for all of us
	🥁 4:49pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 and Lawyers, Guns and Money?
	4:50pm Sem: Lurking and loving today's show, LG. Great stuff most of which I have not heard before. There's a little something extra in the collection plate for today's service, Rev. See you and all next time round.
	4:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 yeah, smoked a bit of herb, drank a bit of beer...a bit!
	4:50pm Discotech Underground: I loved REM until "Green" and they lost me on that one.
	4:50pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry, laters all!
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:50 That's about where I jumped ship
	4:51pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:50 When Peter Buck decided to become a mandolin player, I was outta there. That album was a huge bummer. I never went back.
	🥁 4:51pm WLSClark: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:50 Similar here and stole cable TV, HBO, pay per view fights....the norm. haha
	4:52pm Discotech Underground: I went to college in Minneapolis in the early 80's, ended up in New Orleans in the middle 80's...I was lucky to be in a couple of decent spots where goods bands played quite a bit. The Athens, GA bands used to play NOLA all the time.
	4:52pm dave wuz here: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:40 the neats deserved more
	4:53pm coelacanth∅: ↳ dave wuz here @4:52 i agree
	4:53pm patrick321: ↳ StringOFperils @4:45 That tune written by Stipe, Jody Harris and Anton Fier. If you google the record scroll down and see the personnel of the LP as a whole, it's kind of staggering in diversity of talent.
	🥁 4:54pm WLSClark: Switching my avatar back to 1980 days on radio for now.
	4:54pm Erica: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:51 And by the early 90s, REM became mainstream.
	🥁 4:55pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @4:54 REM kinda like MTV second generation band.
	4:55pm Woo: B-52's RULE
	4:56pm Discotech Underground: Thanks, again, for letting me relive my 20's for a while, Larry!
	4:56pm bradford: Many thanks Larry for reminding me of my misspent youth!
	4:56pm TDK60: Some fine selecting, Larry. See ya!
	4:57pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Yep, another winner. Thank you, sir :)
	4:57pm StringOFperils: Thanks, Larry!
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ patrick321 @4:53 Right, I forgot the guys from the Raybeats!
	4:57pm iko: Thanks for an sublime show today - have a good one everyone
	🥁 4:57pm WLSClark: Lotsa fun remembering the 80s, larry. I live in 60s, so good to remember the new days again.
	4:57pm Erica: Thanks Larry for this 2 part show. I'm gonna miss hearing this music (on your show).
	🥁 4:57pm Yvang: Thanks Larry for the great trip to the 80's!
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks everyone for listening!
	4:57pm patrick321: Thanks Larry what a monster show.
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ patrick321 @4:57 Thanks, Patrick!
	4:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:58 Thanks, C!
	4:59pm Candy-O'67: Thx so much, Larry! Killer show today!
	4:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:57 I'll be doing this again sometime!
	4:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Candy-O'67 @4:59 Thanks Candy-O!
	5:04pm Andrew in Toronto: What a fabulous episode! Thanks, Larry!
	5:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @5:04 Thanks Andrew!

	3:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ dave wuz here @3:19 Hi dave! Love Lovich!
	3:20pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "A Million Miles Away" by "Plimsouls" This is a great jangle rush of a tune.
	🥁 3:20pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "A Million Miles Away" by "Plimsouls" I think there were 2 versions of this then, right?
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @3:20 Plimsouls were amazing
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:20 Not that I'm aware of. Edits?
	3:21pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:18 haha ("eye brow", you mean?!) ...and the mock disinterest of Michael Stipe, and the casual congeniality of Mike Mills...
	3:21pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Song: "A Million Miles Away" by "Plimsouls" How many of us crushed hard on Deborah Foreman in the movie "Valley Girl"?....(raises hand)
	🥁 3:21pm WLSClark: Seems like I have 12" single and 45 and there was different version? Not remembering well now tho. Love it.
	3:21pm patrick321: Always loved this one!
	3:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @3:21 Still my 80s dream girl!
	🥁 3:22pm WLSClark: ↳ Discotech Underground @3:21 What a film!
	3:22pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "A Million Miles Away" by "Plimsouls" Always love to hear this one! Saw them reformed in LA once
	3:22pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:22 She never really did much after that. A couple of other films here and there and then gone.
	3:23pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Discotech Underground @3:21 never saw that, don't know who she is hi Kip!
	3:23pm Candy-O'67: ↳ WLSClark @3:16 Hey Clark! You missed out! Haha
	3:24pm StringOFperils: Goode day to thee. Heard The Plimsouls and it woke me
	🥁 3:25pm WLSClark: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:23 Not as world-y as you, GO GIRL! ;)
	3:27pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ WLSClark @3:22 Hi, Clark!
	3:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:24 Hey String!
	3:27pm Discotech Underground: Frank Zappa was always bemused at the fact that his song "Valley Girl" started a trend when it was actually pretty scathing.
	3:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @3:27 Lots of folks missed the point
	3:27pm Candy-O'67: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:23 You never saw Valley Girl? Wow! Cult classic! You should check it out! Great music in it!😁
	3:28pm Candy-O'67: ↳ WLSClark @3:25 Haha!
	3:29pm coelacanth∅: hi Candy! - guess i still could. ...add it to the list
	3:29pm Tara: I AM LOVING THIS
	3:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Tara @3:29 Hi Tara! Thanks!
	3:30pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "The Cutter" by "Echo and the Bunnymen" Oh, The "Porcupine" album! How intense. I think I was tripping upon first hearing it. Yikes!
	3:30pm StringOFperils: I missed that last one entirely at its time of release, as far I can remember...on Slash, no less
	3:30pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Discotech Underground @3:27 it's funny, and not the only example in american culture
	3:31pm TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @3:30 Slightly edgy. Hee ha.
	3:31pm StringOFperils: Yes. Porcupine seems to recall some acid days.
	3:32pm dave wuz here: saw echo & bunnymen in 84 with the fakest ID ever
	3:32pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "The Cutter" by "Echo and the Bunnymen" One of my very fave bands of the '80's right here! So damn good!!
	🥁 3:32pm WLSClark: I dont understand why the arrows never work on this show.
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: I didn't get to see them until the late 80s, but they were amazing then
	3:32pm Candy-O'67: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:29 Do it!
	3:33pm coelacanth∅: i bought the crocodiles album because i liked the band name echo & the bunnymen. had never heard them. immediately liked the music, but it's hard to get past the terrible production on that.
	3:33pm Candy-O'67: ↳ dave wuz here @3:32 Love that!! I had a good fake ID back then, too!
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: Anybody else remember these guys? If you grew up within earshot of Philly you def heard this
	🥁 3:34pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Escalator Of Life" by "Robert Hazard and the Heroes" Never even realized this was a top 40 hit until couple years ago. Always thought it didn't sell like many I heard back then on radio.
	3:34pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "Escalator Of Life" by "Robert Hazard and the Heroes" High school daze coming back right here!
	3:35pm dave wuz here: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:34 constant airplay in boston back then
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: This is the guy that wrote Girls Just Want To Have Fun
	3:35pm bradford: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:34 Absolutely! I remember hearing it on WMMR.
	3:35pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:34 In TX, too! We were into all of this music!
	🥁 3:35pm WLSClark: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:34 OR early bar years for me. haha
	3:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:34 never heard of them/this; or Bonnie Hayes either
	3:35pm StringOFperils: I remember this stuff...neo-goth kids in the early 80s. Vampire bars. Good for chewing on your back teeth in the dark somewhere
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bradford @3:35 WMMR played a bunch of local bands early on, these guys, Hooters, The A's
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: There are def a few versions of this one. It was remixed/reissued when it started to cross over to pop radio
	3:36pm Candy-O'67: ↳ WLSClark @3:35 Haha! Me, too, with my fake ID at 16 in '83 that said I was 21! Drinking age was 19 then.
	🥁 3:36pm WLSClark: These early MTV years were great. Then, around 1985 I quit buying new stuff because I was just buying everything to have everything.
	🥁 3:37pm WLSClark: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:36 Yeah 19 in NE too, but could go to Iowa and it was 18!
	3:38pm Candy-O'67: ↳ StringOFperils @3:35 Ha, right! One of the places we could get into was #'s - all ages most of the time. Houston's #1 goth club still to this day!
	3:38pm Candy-O'67: ↳ WLSClark @3:37 Louisiana was 18 back then, too!
	3:39pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Escalator Of Life" by "Robert Hazard and the Heroes" it's possible i heard this in the clubs at the time. i usually went outside for air when techno/synthdancepop came on...or disengaged my eardrums! (sorry)
	3:39pm StringOFperils: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:38 The Voodoo Club, and Sanctuary at one time or another, in Toronto
	🥁 3:39pm WLSClark: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:38 I dont have any idea now. maybe 21 or 22??? Of course, bars weren't open all night either.
	🥁 3:40pm WLSClark: CRENSHAW!!!!!!!
	3:40pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Can't Get Enough Of You Baby" by "Colour Field" there's a newer version of this, with horrible singing, which is the only version i've heard. had no idea it went back this far.
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: I turned 19 in 1981 when it was still 19 in NJ and NY. went up to 21 sometime in the next few years
	3:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Whenever You're On My Mind" by "Mashall Crenshaw" Ah, know this song/album, saw Crenshaw around the time it came out.
	🥁 3:40pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Whenever You're On My Mind" by "Mashall Crenshaw" His music was great then. Fave Waste of Time B side still my fave of his.
	3:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:40 It goes back to like 1966. It's a Questionm Mark and the Mysterians song
	3:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:40 Now he's touring as a semi-permanent lead singer for the Smithereens
	3:42pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:41 really! never heard their version either
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:42 I think the Toys and the Four Seasons did it too
	3:42pm Sem: Love Crenshaw.
	🥁 3:43pm WLSClark: Anyone for Split Enz? My #1 of 80's is One step Ahead.
	3:43pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Can't Get Enough Of You Baby" by "Colour Field" Why Smashmouth had a monster hit with that and not Colourfield still mystifies me. Workings of the biz I guess.
	3:43pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:41 Very cool! I saw the Smithereens on the beach in Galveston in their hayday back in the '80's! So much fun! I wonder if Dennis remembers that show!
	3:44pm StringOFperils: ↳ WLSClark @3:43 Fantastic first-class pop record. And cool video
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:43 No Split Enz but a track by one of their former members is coming up in a few minutes
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:43 I used to go see the Smithereens when they were a local bar band, like 43 years ago!
	🥁 3:44pm WLSClark: I know he sold a ton of records, but Rick Springfield's late 70s and 80s songs were constanyly blasting for me too.
	3:44pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:44 So cool, Larry!
	🥁 3:45pm WLSClark: ↳ StringOFperils @3:44 Yes, back when MTV would play it and I Got you. The laser etched vinyl LP and 45 were just the coolest too.
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:44 Back at the late lamented Court Tavern in New Brunswick, NJ. I took my sons up there last week and I couldn't stop talking about what had been torn down, closed or otherwise forgotten
	3:46pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:42 that's amazing. maybe i have heard the song, along the way...just because it seems likely
	3:46pm Candy-O'67: The Smithereens and The Cars - two bands that stand the test of time! Sound just as good today as they did back then!
	🥁 3:46pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:44 Finn Bros!!! Loved Crowded House too.
	3:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:45 Six Months In a Leaky Boat!
	3:46pm Erica: ↳ WLSClark @3:44 Today the radio will not stop playing Jesse's Girl. It's annoying.
	🥁 3:46pm WLSClark: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:46 cars spoiled you with Candy!
	3:47pm Funky16Corners: Speak O' the Devil!
	3:47pm TDK60: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:45 Larry, oh the old Court Tavern is gone? That was a unique joint. I got to play there in about '86 or '87.
	🥁 3:47pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @3:46 I agree, but its just like Queen or Pilot's Magic. Great stuff, but too much is too much.
	3:47pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Song: "I Don't Want To Lose You" by "Smithereens" Saw the original band twice, hung out with them after one of the shows. Pat and Jim were super nice guys.
	3:47pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:45 That's too bad! I hate it when cool places close! Satellite Lounge was a very cool place to see shows in Houston. It's long gone now along with Mary Jane's that was down the street! Such great memories from the '90's at those two bars
	3:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Andres @3:43 i don't know that song. i liked their first (?) hit,"walking on the sun", but i've grown to despise his singing
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @3:47 The building is there but it's been shuttered for years
	3:48pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Discotech Underground @3:47 Awesome, Kip!
	3:48pm StringOFperils: The 1980s big beat. Beat that snare frame! Such a good band full of ideas
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: My youngest brother has played with Jimmy and Dennis in the Smithereens spinoff band Buzzed Meg
	3:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I Don't Want To Lose You" by "Smithereens" Buffalo Springfield riff to fade out...
	3:50pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "I Don't Want To Lose You" by "Smithereens" Dr Jazz. No! Guitar quote from Byrd's "I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better" there at the end.
	3:50pm Funky16Corners: Clark, this band is led by Phill Judd, and original member of Split Enz
	3:51pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:48 Vince Grogan? I just looked it up on Discogs. That is so cool Larry
	🥁 3:51pm WLSClark: Nick Heyward, Shoes, Rumour, XTC/Dukes, Utopia, Rockpile, Motels, Elvis, Howard Jones, etc etc all faves
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:51 That's my bro!
	🥁 3:51pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:50 Very cool. Never knew!
	3:51pm TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @3:50 Byrds'
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: This video got some earky days play on MTV
	3:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:45 i might've seen you there in the 80s; but usually, while you were at the court tavern i was a few miles away at the melody, or more likely patrix
	3:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I Don't Want To Lose You" by "Smithereens" Missed these guys in the 80s (missed a lot in the 80s, was heavily into jazz and catching up with jazz history that decade-didn't even know who Prince was, though I kept hearing his stuff in bars/restaurants everywhere...
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:51 I went to all those clubs! Played at the Court, FJ'd at the Melody, saw bands at Patrix!
	3:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ TDK60 @3:50 Could be, it was familiar, will want to listen back to it again as an archive (I do know that Byrds tune)
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: DJ'd...sheesh
	3:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:52 ha! we've probably shoved past each-other! (at least if it was the melody!)
	🥁 3:54pm WLSClark: Spongetones too. So good!
	3:55pm Andres: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:48 Don’t care for it much either but All Star is undeniable pop gold.
	3:55pm coelacanth∅: ...(well, not if you were djing) did you do any slam-dancing ("moshing") at patrix?
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:55 I did not, but I could be seen hauling ass at City Gardens and the Green Parrot
	3:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Andres @3:55 i'll check it out. maybe get past it
	3:56pm doctorjazz: I did hit some of the clubs downtown NYC in the late 70s, 80s, the Mudd Club, The Pyramid Club, Danceteria.
	3:57pm coelacanth∅: nice! i only went to city gardens for "bigger" names. it was a bit of a drive for us in union county.
	3:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:57 I know it well!
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:57 It was in such a bombed out area, but I saw so many bands there, Buzzcocks, Flipper, Hooters (before their hits), Smithereens, Hoodoo Gurus
	🥁 3:59pm WLSClark: Joe Jackson another consistent winner.
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:59 Oh crap, I forgot Joe! Next time, with Bram Tchaikovsky and a bunch of others I'm just remembering
	4:01pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I've got my late pass lowers head... Good afternoon everyone.
	🥁 4:02pm WLSClark: Bram--indeed! Elton Montello?
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:01 Hey Vincent!
	4:02pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Skin Deep" by "Stranglers" Brother watch out!
	🥁 4:03pm WLSClark: Every song reminds me of some song. This, the beat of the great mexican radio.
	4:03pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:59 i'm only remembering hüsker dü, dead kennedys, ramones... but i know i was there at least a 1/2 dozen times... blanking out. yes, remembering the desolation of the vicinity
	4:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:03 I think it was a former supermarket
	4:05pm Listener Scott: This show has been a deep-cuts of my HS years, some which I haven't heard in decades. Thanks Larry.
	🥁 4:06pm WLSClark: I still have old BETA tapes of MTV early days just letting player run recording.
	4:06pm Candy-O'67: ↳ WLSClark @3:59 Yessssss! Love him! Got to see him a few years ago at a cool theatre here, The Paramount! I saw Ronnie Spector and Bauhaus there, too!
	4:06pm Erica: ↳ Song: "It's My Life" by "Talk Talk" The original version.
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Listener Scott @4:05 Hey Scott! Glad you're digging it!
	4:06pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "It's My Life" by "Talk Talk" Damn, I wore this cassette tape out in the '80's!!!!
	🥁 4:06pm WLSClark: ↳ Candy-O'67 @4:06 As I said.....GO GIRL! How cool!
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:06 That took me a sec, I forgot about the No Doubt version
	4:07pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:06 Haha!!
	4:07pm Erica: ↳ Candy-O'67 @4:07 No Doubt who? Lol 😆
	4:07pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Erica @4:06 i've heard 2 covers, one with a female singer that's especially abominable
	4:07pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I'm still looking for the BBC session recording of "Talk Talk", I think it was Kid Jensen, maybe Peely. I used to have a 12" back in my younger days.
	4:08pm Erica: Seriously though I heard both versions of this song.
	4:08pm Andres: It’s My Life! Love it! And similarly why it was a big hit for No Doubt (crap version) boggles the mind.
	4:08pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Erica @4:07 Right!?!🤣
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: Just one of the greatest bands of the 80s. RIP Mark Hollis...
	4:09pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I thought No Doubt had all but broke up, and Stefani recorded this as a soloist....
	4:10pm coelacanth∅: at my 2nd job i get to hear countless abominations of Great songs. disrespectful vocal gymnastics and fake drums, thinking they are somehow improving on classic songs.
	4:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Rattlesnakes" by "Lloyd Cole and the Commotions" Ah, another one I know (and like)
	4:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:09 Nope, it's them: www.discogs.com...
	4:10pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Song: "Rattlesnakes" by "Lloyd Cole and the Commotions" Lloyd Cole & Commotions opened for the Smithereens the first time I saw them.
	4:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:10 We live in the laziest most uninspired times
	4:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:10 WOW! I wish I'd seen that!
	4:11pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:11 sad truth.
	4:11pm Funky16Corners: I love this album so much
	4:11pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:10 Very cool!
	4:11pm Vincent The Soul Chef: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:10 Ah... nevertheless, their first album truly was a masterpiece. Everything that followed however, was borderline trash.
	🥁 4:12pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:11 Yet, it is our generation who had the chance to change things......and we did nothing.
	🥁 4:15pm WLSClark: There IS a soundtrack to Valley Girl! It only has about 6 or 7 songs, but I found it for my roommate then as it was his fave movie. Kinda like my fave Airplane! soundtrack. Hard to find.
	4:18pm Erica: Counting the Beat is the only song I know from the Swingers from an Aussie music CD.
	🥁 4:19pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @4:18 Dont know how many times I bought various hits of NEW songs in 80s and often only know one song and it's a great one often too.
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: Rave-ups, Another 80s movie band, I think they're in Pretty In Pink
	4:20pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "It's My Life" by "Talk Talk" WFMU listeners may be aware more than most folks, that Talk Talk later went more "out."
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @4:20 Yeah, the later stuff is far out
	4:23pm TDK60: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:23 I like it.
	🥁 4:23pm WLSClark: ↳ TDK60 @4:20 Like when TDK60s became TDK120s.
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @4:23 Me too
	🥁 4:26pm WLSClark: ↳ WLSClark @4:23 Recordable tapes were so weird then. 30, 45, 60, 90, 120 minutes cassettes and 40 and 84 8-tracks? Crazy stuff. Chrome, non-chrome.....
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:26 I remember going to Crazy Eddies and buying boxes of TDks
	4:29pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Song: "Bed Of Nails" by "Cavedogs" Hooks you could hang meat from!
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:29 These guys were great
	🥁 4:31pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:27 Still amazed that vinyl and cassettes are viable products again.
	4:32pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Family" by "New Model Army" New Model Army. Strong cuts from them.
	4:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @4:32 Nothing like a punk record with violin!
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: Sorry about that gap. One of my channels wasn't playing
	🥁 4:35pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Strobe Light" by "B-52s" Somehow, I relate seeing B-52s to what it would have been like to see Talking Heads in someway.
	4:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Strobe Light" by "B-52s" Ahhh, another band Iknow (they're few and far between today).Saw them (when they were basically an Oldies act, though).
	4:35pm Vincent The Soul Chef: "LET ME KISS YOUR PINEAPPLE!!!"
	4:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ WLSClark @4:31 Never stopped buying vinyl (and never bought commercial cassettes).
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: I got to see the B-52s on their last tour with Ricky Wilson
	🥁 4:36pm WLSClark: ↳ doctorjazz @4:35 same here. Damned bootleggers, we!
	4:38pm Discotech Underground: Live radio!
	🥁 4:39pm WLSClark: Candy O blew my speakers, i think! haha
	4:39pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Gotta love it...
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:38 Ain't it a hoot?
	4:39pm dave wuz here: da cahs guy
	4:39pm patrick321: So many great tunes from Cars
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ dave wuz here @4:39 BAH-STIN
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ patrick321 @4:39 Their first two albums are solid hall of famers for me
	4:40pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "Got a Lot On My Head" by "Cars" 🙌🙌🙌
	4:40pm patrick321: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:40 Absolutely. 100%
	4:40pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:39 I prefer to be live actually. Pre-recording isn't the same...not as much fun. It's like when I was in real radio...you never know what will happen!
	4:41pm Candy-O'67: ↳ WLSClark @4:39 Haha!
	4:41pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:40 They are, largely due to Benjamin Orr who never got the props he deserved.
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:41 One of my all time favorite singers
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:40 I do too. I find it harder to prerecord, it doesn't feel natural
	4:42pm coelacanth∅: ↳ WLSClark @4:12 if you're talking about MY generation, the Xers, we certainly DID do something. we did cocaine and rum and vodka and shrooms...and facilitated the obliteration of all capitalist and environmental safeguards our parents worked so hard for, then raised 2 generations of privileged narcissists living in a fantasy world. that's a lot!
	4:43pm patrick321: Wow I had this on a promo cassette I got at the New Music Seminar that year - 85
	🥁 4:43pm WLSClark: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:40 However, we STILl went TO a radio station then to do live. Not sitting at home hoping internet doesnt go out.
	🥁 4:44pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Boy (Go)" by "Golden Palominos" This Golden Palomino has shades of REM.
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @4:44 That's cause they got Michael Stipe!
	4:44pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:27 druckers wholesale. tdk sa90s or 100s, 10/$10
	🥁 4:45pm WLSClark: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:42 Good job! haha I just played records. I just think of Knickerbockers' "Coming Generation" B side of "Lies" that I got for Christmas 65 and the line "Someday we will give you a president." Well, we did. Ugh
	4:45pm patrick321: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:42 coela we absolutely did cocaine I'm not certain about the rest tho you're probably right there too ;)
	4:45pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:42 Yeeah, Michael Stipe turned out to be an interesting musician. Kinda melted a high-lonesome sound into a modern voice. This sounds like Mitch Easter's involved too
	🥁 4:45pm Yvang: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:44 Ah!
	4:46pm TDK60: Yeah Yvang, Stipe on vocal. This was an '80s newfolkrocknewwave supergroup. I heard it all over college radio back then. I was surprised it did well.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: WEED AND BEER! WEED AND BEER!
	4:46pm TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @4:46 Tho, I liked it.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:45 I don't think Easter is on this
	4:47pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 Well, there's a bit of his Athens in there, whoever brought it
	4:48pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Song: "Disturbance at Heron House" by "R.E.M." Peter Buck used to come into the hole in the wall record shop I worked at in the New Orleans French Quarter. Cool guy. Always eager to talk records and hang out. Then this LP came out and we never saw him again.
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:48 He was def the record collector of the band
	4:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ patrick321 @4:45 to be honest, I didn't do all that. i protested reagan, a lot., and never made a family. barely did vodka, shrooms or coke; although i drank enough rum for all of us
	🥁 4:49pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 and Lawyers, Guns and Money?
	4:50pm Sem: Lurking and loving today's show, LG. Great stuff most of which I have not heard before. There's a little something extra in the collection plate for today's service, Rev. See you and all next time round.
	4:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 yeah, smoked a bit of herb, drank a bit of beer...a bit!
	4:50pm Discotech Underground: I loved REM until "Green" and they lost me on that one.
	4:50pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry, laters all!
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:50 That's about where I jumped ship
	4:51pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:50 When Peter Buck decided to become a mandolin player, I was outta there. That album was a huge bummer. I never went back.
	🥁 4:51pm WLSClark: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:50 Similar here and stole cable TV, HBO, pay per view fights....the norm. haha
	4:52pm Discotech Underground: I went to college in Minneapolis in the early 80's, ended up in New Orleans in the middle 80's...I was lucky to be in a couple of decent spots where goods bands played quite a bit. The Athens, GA bands used to play NOLA all the time.
	4:52pm dave wuz here: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:40 the neats deserved more
	4:53pm coelacanth∅: ↳ dave wuz here @4:52 i agree
	4:53pm patrick321: ↳ StringOFperils @4:45 That tune written by Stipe, Jody Harris and Anton Fier. If you google the record scroll down and see the personnel of the LP as a whole, it's kind of staggering in diversity of talent.
	🥁 4:54pm WLSClark: Switching my avatar back to 1980 days on radio for now.
	4:54pm Erica: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:51 And by the early 90s, REM became mainstream.
	🥁 4:55pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @4:54 REM kinda like MTV second generation band.
	4:55pm Woo: B-52's RULE
	4:56pm Discotech Underground: Thanks, again, for letting me relive my 20's for a while, Larry!
	4:56pm bradford: Many thanks Larry for reminding me of my misspent youth!
	4:56pm TDK60: Some fine selecting, Larry. See ya!
	4:57pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Yep, another winner. Thank you, sir :)
	4:57pm StringOFperils: Thanks, Larry!
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ patrick321 @4:53 Right, I forgot the guys from the Raybeats!
	4:57pm iko: Thanks for an sublime show today - have a good one everyone
	🥁 4:57pm WLSClark: Lotsa fun remembering the 80s, larry. I live in 60s, so good to remember the new days again.
	4:57pm Erica: Thanks Larry for this 2 part show. I'm gonna miss hearing this music (on your show).
	🥁 4:57pm Yvang: Thanks Larry for the great trip to the 80's!
