Melissa wanted to hear some Smiths songs.

Bright Eyes and "Marian" were requests. Somehow I never thought to look for Sisters of Mercy albums before, but we have one early one. Someone requested "Tainted Love", but I was forced to play "Down in the Subway" instead, which is a very similar song in many ways but is faster and therefore probably better objectively though less singalongable.

The Classic Brown was a request by someone who appeared to be a member of The Classic Brown. I played it because it's actually in our automator and was in our rotation, and thus it's not a CD that came to us unsolicited and was placed in the discard bin after a hearty "LOL WTF THIS SUX" from our music director. It turned out to be really good, actually, resembling the Throwing Muses song I was then inspired to play.

Finally got to play the Flying Lizards.

Played the Bad Religion song mainly because it provided a great lead-in to the Pogues song.
