	10:09pm N'Lo: @ Richard “uncle” penny bags, as you wish! No video, alas. There was tentative circling, flirting, extending of hands, and drawing together for a 1/2 time waltz https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/03/style/before-walking-down-the-aisle-marching-with-many-puppets.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/03/style/before-walking-down-the-aisle-marching-with-many-puppets.html?referringSource=articleShare

	10:43pm northguineahills: what skrapshak said (almost jinxed ya),
	10:43pm Richard "Uncle" Pennybags: @skrapshak agreed. it's strange to find out that small wonder was apparently real and not a weird dream i had.
	10:44pm skrapshak: I'd buy ya a Coke anyways.
	10:44pm 333: I'm really enjoying this show. Thanks Mona!

	10:51pm slugluv1313: Kate 🌹🖤🩰💜
	10:53pm N'Lo: I’m having an existential crisis over what is Billy Idol at this stage anyway?! When I look back, Prince, Elvis, pretty boy Duran Duran and kind of punk all rolled into one?
	♥ 10:53pm TonyR: I'll take what 333 said and double it!
	10:53pm slugluv1313: cranking it! bc i lovvvvve (& way better than whatever crap the upstairs neighbors are playing)
	10:54pm AustinBlues: Having some serious '80's dance club flashbacks down here in sizzling Austin!
	10:54pm Andres: I may have to rethink the ranking of my top five fave Idol songs! :)
	10:56pm thin slice: @austinblues see you down at Emo’s
	🥀 ♥ 10:57pm luka: heeeeell yeah
	10:57pm northguineahills: I regret not picking up the Carpenter reissues on vinyl....
	10:59pm PuraVida: Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) was written, directed, scored, and edited by John Carpenter
	11:00pm Andres: Only recently learned that Carpenter was the composer of these soundtracks. So incredibly amazing!!
	11:00pm northguineahills: oh, yeahs, Cosey Fanni Tutti!
	11:01pm Andres: And that was a segue!!
	11:02pm N'Lo: Ah this is wonderful to hear of new Cosey!! Thank you!

	11:03pm AustinBlues: thin slice: We're fortunate a few of the "old Austin" spots can still afford rent in the "new Austin"! Staying cool as we listen to these hot tunes

	11:06pm northguineahills: laters uncle pennybags....
	♥ 11:07pm Richy4619: later og lol

	11:08pm N'Lo: This is a new order homage, no?
	♥ 11:11pm Ciggy: "How Far We've Come" by The Big Pink (io echo) featured at the end of an episode of Night Flight was awe inspiring.
	11:11pm northguineahills: dark crystal me!
	11:13pm Andres: This 80’s blanket is super cozy. Love this one!
	♥ 11:16pm anne: love this song, can't remember last time i heard it

	11:35pm Mike MegaWatt: I love that you played that song
	11:37pm Andes: I showed my kids the dance portion of the Mad World video that the gif is from and they wer properly impressed!
	11:38pm thin slice: @ciggy haha. My wife and her sisters talk constantly about WLIR in the 80s
	11:38pm Andes: I mean we watched the whole thing but that part got more than a couple of repeats
	11:39pm northguineahills: Goblin!!!
	♥ 11:39pm Handy Haversack: We're going to fetch Goblin in here so he can hear his namesake. This is how they grow up.
	11:40pm northguineahills: sweetness, handy!
	11:41pm slugluv1313: omg -- Tears for Fears my heart -- melting and totally turning into mush 💜🖤💜 (flashback to walking on the sidewalk on this block, headed to work -- 7 or 8am? -- and hearing this song blasting -- from a car? someone's apartment? had only been here a few years . . . damn how does all that time slip away?!?)
	11:43pm dano59: Have been loving this so much - Tears for Fears had me thinking Thompson Twins and World Party were next. As for soundtracks, I remember Ry Cooder and Mark Isham being everywhere then.
	♥ 11:43pm patrick321: @slug I had some similar feelings.
	11:43pm slugluv1313: @Handy -- my thoughts exactly! 🐈‍⬛🖤

	♥ 11:47pm patrick321: Thanks Mona for this show + all the gifs so much fun!
	11:47pm dano59: Night Flight has been sending me emails for a while with promo content and how to subscribe. It’s about time I did. It was a damn special time.
	11:47pm Andres: This Mission UK was part of the canon (and a few others tonight) on mid 80’s CFNY.
	11:50pm slugluv1313: started listening to WFMU in (gulp) 1977, first year in college -- when i graduated and moved to Hoboken in 1981, i was so happy with the better reception
	11:51pm northguineahills: another stranger things tune that has been given a boost....
	♥ 11:51pm Handy Haversack: Something happened to our reception on the stereo the front room. I feel like the kittens did it when we were away -- the antenna was disconnected when we came back, and it's been terrible ever since. Not at all sure how to handle it. Still good for the Bathroom Boombox, but it's frustrating how badly it's coming in now in the front room. Radio.
	11:52pm northguineahills: @slugluv: I started listening to wfmu right as i finished my undergrad in '98 (by streaming it ).
	♥ 11:52pm anne: thank you much much, Mona!
	♥ 11:53pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Mona! What a show! We were in the Upside Down, but you spin us right round! Later on, everyone!

	11:57pm N'Lo: Such a lovely show thank you Mona and Mona fans!! You send us spinning!!!!
