Well, I will try to make your late night listening as painless (or painful?) as possible - thanks for staying for the ride!

Tom, i've had this KJ sing stuck in my head all week. Fire Dances is my favorite.
  12:14am
RDB:

"song", that is
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:15am

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:24am
TomDash:

no worries Jinx...love Jesus Lizard and been meaning to work them into a show sometime! just keeping with an 80s theme (when I first started doing college radio)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:30am
Ken From Hyde Park:

The 80s had some cool music. I guess you just have to know where to look.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:32am
Cooh John:

Hanging with some cool cats.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:33am
mariano:

Man, I haven't thought of Scratch Acid in ages! It really is like a college show from the 80s - taking me right back.
  Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:33am
Jinx:

i didn't go to college until i was 25, in 1986, so these songs resonate.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:35am
Cooh John:

In 1986 I was 27, Jinx.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:36am
TomDash:

Thanks guys...this idea just kinda came to me earlier this week and I built a set around it. Started radio in 1985-86 and started college in 1987. I will say, show's gonna take a few turns! 2nd set punk, 3rd and 4th sets rather weird...
  12:36am
Old Dave:

This sounds EXACTLY like the university station where I was briefly a 3 AM DJ in 1982.
Do I miss it... somewhat. The friends I there had were so great and I was not old!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:37am
mariano:

Damn, I was class of '87 in high school, been a while since I've felt like the youngster of the group!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:37am
Cooh John:

Bring it, TD.
  Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:38am
Jinx:

Cooh John, you're old :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:39am

Experienced.
  Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:42am

'cept we were forced to include Burning Spear and Black Uhuru in our sets, which taught my white ass something.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:45am
Cooh John:

Good night, Jinx.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:47am
Cooh John:

You make the 80's sound pretty good.
Avatar ♥ 12:49am
javakid:

I wasn't familiar with this side of Died Pretty. Closer to Birthday Party than where they ended up.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:49am
mariano:

The 80s were more 60s than they way they're portrayed in movies and TV shows.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:50am
Cooh John:

djsheilab's men moaning.
  12:53am
rw:

Evening! That's funny, I almost commented about Big Black being the gold standard when I did a college radio show at KJHK in Lawrence, KS!
  12:53am
rw:

I guess you hit the nail with that set TD.
  12:54am
rw:

Cooh John:

O-H...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:08am
mariano:

So of course now that I said that, there's a band from Texas!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:10am
TomDash:

sorry mariano...no OH theme, just a grab bag of punk with an OH 2-fer thrown in there!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:11am
mariano:

But 7 presidents came from there!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:12am

Hmmm.

BH:

Punk music by somebody from the Hollywood Squares would be.... interesting...

That or I've listened to too much Eno. My money's on the latter.
