Annoying development today. We are now required to type everything in all caps with underscores between words instead of spaces.

Good show though. Mostly rocking. Ken Nordine.

Show is now preceded by Melissa's post-rock show. It used to be preceded by Melissa's formatless show, but now she has a format.

When Melissa heard the Pogues she told me to play the Flogging Molly song. Then when she heard "Looking From a Hilltop" she told me to play the Broadcast song. "Looking From a Hilltop" is really amazingly un-dated for an electro-pop song from 1984.

21 and 22 were actually recorded in 1980 or 1983 or something.
