Back to the eighties format!

Also, to a new day. Mondays. Since the schedule was just announced today I didn't have time to bring in any of my own stuff to play.

Found out what Drivin' n' Cryin' sound like -- and investigated Delta 5, Killing Joke, and A Flock of Seagulls after reading Rip it Up and Start Again.

Dead Milkmen was a request (his first choice was "Pleasure and Pain" by the Divinyls which we do not have).

Devo was a request from Mrs. Fino.

Once again this week's format was "I am curious about what these songs sound like". A lot of them weren't very good (#1, #9, #11, #17). But #13, #4, #22, #23, #29, #25, and #17 were good finds. Also, the Clap Your Hands Say Yeah song wasn't nearly as good as "Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood".
