Almost forgot about the show today. Great choice for The Church. Interesting tidbit I heard recently on another of their classics: Kilbey is not a fan of "The Unguarded Moment". Apparently thinks it's a bit trite. Oh to have the talent to be able to take that position :)

And, while it may be cliche 80s (okay, one song from it is), Starfish is still one of my favorite albums of the 80s.

Here in Austin, there have been weekly "80s night" and "retro rage" events at the dance clubs since like 90 or 91... I mean the paint wasn't even dry on the 80s before there were 80s themed events at the clubs.

Some of the biggest "80s songs" from those retro nights in the early 90s are now too cliche for the same events being held virtually in 2020 as the DJs go deeper into the back catalog.

we generally go pretty deep on this show; today's show is a bit of an outlier. but even on a show like today's we aren't going to be playing blue monday or people are people

I was sad to see that they got booed at the Benroya Hall a couple years ago.  I thought they were fine, but, man, people really wanted to see the Psychedelic Furs, I guess.

They sounded good, even if they were a little ho-hum in their live performance.  I honestly think that playing the "Reptile" last was a bad idea...  since, people thought the song was over, like twice, and I think that the audience just got tired of it.

By the way, the Psych Furs were absolutely STUNNING.  Their set was farking flawless!
