Listener comments!

	9:03am ans: a promissing start!
	9:06am cory: Nice art
	♥ 9:07am Marcel M: YES! Love this Coil cover.
	9:08am Cheri Pi: I see how it's going to be.
	♥ 9:10am Marcel M: The video for the original Soft Cell version is one of my favorite videos. Don't think it could get made today (in mainstream culture at least).
	♥ 9:13am Marcel M: Video for this version is also cool.
	9:14am Chris M.: good morning everybody
	♥ 9:15am DCE: morning!
	9:16am cory: hiya chris
	9:19am pierre: i'm trying to see how it's going to be, but I can't. Bonjour Chris and imaginary friends
	9:21am Chris from DC: Morning. Liking the theme here.
	9:23am cory: if the theme is "singers that make cory think of nick cave" i'm diggin it too
	♥ 9:23am Polyus: Still in high school in 1985 - I wish I had been cool enough to know about these bands.
	9:23am André: These Immortal Souls would be nice to listen? Rowland S. Howard was just great. Hello form Portugal!
	9:24am Chris from DC: I was thinking year, but that too.
	♥ 9:25am Marcel M: Clicky star heaven
	9:27am Cheri Pi: Th' SKULL!
	9:27am bobdoesthings: good morning
	9:29am Chris from DC: YES!
	9:30am PKNY: You're wild man, WIIILLLDDD!
	9:31am André: Yeahhhhhh! Of course you know Amebix?
	♥ 9:35am joe: I'm going to go tell my mom you played this
	9:47am cheyenne_h: I thought this was Blatz for a second.
	9:48am bobdoesthings: nice.. need me a palate cleanser.
	9:48am r i s k y: No Trend! Yeeeee
	9:49am bobdoesthings: damn.. now I just wanna listen to psychocandy on repeat
	♥ 9:50am ChrisVB: 30 years. DAAAAAMN!
	♥ 9:51am Nasty Les: Great set, Chris!
	9:54am Chris from DC: Never heard these guys. Great.
	9:55am cory: some time in the mid 90s i got a "new artists" cd from stoli. the jesus and mary chain was on it. i was confused
	9:58am bobdoesthings: I bet Rollins has a killer brownie recipe... I bet he takes it way too seriously too.
	♥ 9:58am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning, gang! Chris, any chance you will be playing "Cold Slither" by Zartan and the Dreadnoks? It was released in 1985...
	10:00am Chris M.: coming up next, Greg!
	10:00am Nate K: I like Slick Rick's voice.
	10:01am PKNY: When I think of '85, "La Di Da Di" is a standout. I remember taking a class trip to the Bronx Zoo, and someone had this recorded off of KISS-FM when it came out, and blasted it on a boombox. 30 years on, still amazing!
	♥ 10:03am Polyus: His grooming habits are above reproach.
	10:04am Cheri Pi: Chris this is the best thing ever.
	10:05am cory: B.A.D. introduced me to this song
	10:06am Chris M.: thanks Cheri Pi! guess it was worth coming in sick today
	10:06am Mark Williams: interesting thing about "Ring the Alarm" is that the rhythm is from around 1970-71. They just voiced Tenor Saw on it some 15 years later. Took off.
	10:09am Nate K: I'd like to think the Kirkwoods would applaud that transition.
	10:09am PKNY: Ego Trip picked the "La Di Da Di"/"The Show" single as the best hiphop single of '85, but you really can't hate on most of the list: www.rocklistmusic.co.uk...
	♥ 10:10am Greg from Bloomfield: Jesus, this sounds like it was recorded yesterday...
	♥ 10:11am joe: Damn missed No Trend.
	10:11am Cheri Pi: Feel better Chris, seasonal allergies are killing us here in CinCity
	♥ 10:11am Sem Chumbo: Hey, Chris M. and Imaginears. Good day, eh.
	♥ 10:13am joe: Just watched the Chocolate War the other day.
	♥ 10:16am barrie: It's always nice hearing old hits on FMU. No compression and maximizing like when you hear it on a major station, it sounds like listening to the record! Also, it's a great song...
	10:17am Nate K: Well played.
	10:17am mark: Kate Bush is such a major talent. I liked her double album "Ariel" a lot--dealing with being a wife and mother. It was absolutely gorgeous, but nobody bought it but me, I don't think. Saw an excellent documentary about her from the BBC I think. Didn't realize she was so young when she started.
	10:19am mark: Like your painting today. The macaws or whatever are looking at the skull club thingie all, "What up, dude?" And then you wonder if Mr. Skelyton is going to bash 'em over the head with that club. But then you say, "No, wait, it's just a drawring." There's a lot to think about there.
	♥ 10:21am Andrew Waterloo: Interesting Puppy choice.
	10:22am mark: When I was working in a record store around '85/'86 kids would come in and ask for Skinny Puppy and I didn't know wtf they were talking about. I was already too old to be working there.
	♥ 10:23am Nardo: Saw gobs of bands in 85. Remember giving This Nation's Saving Grace lots of turntable time (hint hint).
	♥ 10:24am Ken From Hyde Park: I trust none of this morning's selections will also appear on Mary Wing's marathon premium.
	10:29am Nate K: My favorite Naked Raygun song.
	10:30am Mark Williams: i smell Big Black around the corner...
	10:31am Cheri Pi: LLIIIIMMMMMMEEEESPPPIIIIIDDDDDDEEEEEERRRRRSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:33am bobdoesthings: Chris have you ever done an 1986 show? For us 29 year olds of the world.. just curious
	10:34am Chris M.: @bobdoesthings: not yet but maybe next year!
	10:34am bobdoesthings: hah. I'll just have to be patient and vigilant ..
	10:35am Claw!: Good morning, everybody! :) Diggin this set, Chris!
	♥ 10:35am Andrew Waterloo: guess I'll have to wait patiently for the '78 show.
	10:36am Chris M.: 86 and 78 great years :)
	10:37am Claw!: Eigh-ty four! Eigh-ty four!
	10:38am Cheri Pi: SS20! My local dudes :) I've seen them 500 times.
	♥ 10:38am Greg from Bloomfield: 78 gave us both Darkness On The Edge Of Town AND Greg from Bloomfield.
	10:39am Chris M.: @Claw!: wfmu.org...
	10:40am Claw!: Yeeeeaaaaah! Thanks, Chris! Good lookin out. :))
	10:42am Chris from DC: Bathory!
	♥ 10:43am jmd: Bathory! Now that's some classic '85!
	♥ 10:43am Andrew Waterloo: I just want to know if Chris M would play "Raise a Little Hell"
	♥ 10:45am crateslinger: Dang. SS-20. Cincinnati. Brings back memories of the Jockey Club. Got any Musical Suicide? That was '85.
	10:46am Chris M.: @Andrew Waterloo: he says he doesn't know it
	♥ 10:46am Polyus: Celtic Frost's 'To Mega Therion' was also released in 1985.
	♥ 10:47am Andrew Waterloo: Great fortune smiles upon thee.
	10:50am mark: "Dad, you said I'd never amount to anything with my guitar playing. Well, I'm in a BAND now, and we've got an album out, so F*** you!" "What kind of a band would hire a bum like you?" "They're called Fecal Matter."
	10:51am Dad: Shit!
	♥ 10:51am crateslinger: I was sneaking into the jockey club in '85, Jughead from SS 20 told me he was gonna f me in the a if I kept it up. Scared me half to death. Big guy, Jughead.
	♥ 10:54am Andrew Waterloo: That Fecal Matter song was pleasantly trashy.
	11:02am Claw!: Chris - You didn't do horoscopes yet today, did you?
	11:02am Chris M.: @Claw!: no. should i read them?
	11:04am cheyenne_h: I want to know whether or not I should swim today. Horoscopes please!
	11:07am Cheri Pi: @crateslinger we were also sneaking into the jockeyclub in 1985, I didn't realize there was any other way to get in ;)
	11:08am Claw!: Yes, Chris, please. I'm afraid I can't get on with my day until I know what to expect. I'm kind of paralyzed with fear til then.
	11:08am Cheri Pi: Should I go swimming today?
	11:09am Chris M.: ok by popular request please stay tuned today for horoscopes from this date in 1985!
	11:09am d¢ pät: Pi: No, drink 4 martinis and go to bed.
	11:10am cheyenne_h: @Cheri Pi I'm wondering the same thing!
	11:14am d¢ pät: I guess I was playing in garage bands and going to see hardcore shows in '85...in Harrisburg, PA area.
	♥ 11:16am crateslinger: wow, cheri. I bet we know a lot of the same people...
	11:17am Cheri Pi: Yep I'm sure we do, 'tis a small world.
	11:18am Chris from DC: Yes, I was waiting for the Mekons!
	11:18am SeanG: WOOOOOOOO!! MEKONS
	11:18am d¢ pät: MEEEEEEKKKKKOOONNNS
	♥ 11:20am Greg from Bloomfield: Looking forward to checking out that Mekons doc at Monty Hall...
	11:21am Cheri Pi: FFFFFAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
	11:21am conkrete dawg: SPOILT
	11:22am Chris from DC: Yeah, need to see that. I have fond memories of seeing the Mekons in the 80s.
	11:22am Chris M.: the Mekons doc is GREAT! i hope everyone sees it
	11:22am d¢ pät: FFFFFFFF--....dang.
	11:22am Mark Williams: and the Fall. Just about the only band you could play a selection from for every year since, what, 1977?
	11:22am Cheri Pi: MESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMESMES
	♥ 11:25am Greg from Bloomfield: I agree with Cheri. Has anybody ever done a Fall song at Hoof & Mouth?
	11:27am d¢ pät: wonder what match that was where some people were thinking it's all over...
	11:28am Mark Williams: something from the early '70s, I think. Sounds like a sample pulled from the Match of the Days or summat.
	♥ 11:29am coelacanth: greetings Chris; people. (monday beginning fashionably late as usual)
	11:30am Claw!: Hola, Fish!
	11:30am northguineahills: Dinosaur!
	11:30am mark: "My swan broke up with me." "Oh, forget the swan!"
	♥ 11:31am coelacanth: Hi Bear!, ngh!
	♥ 11:32am Nasty Les: @dc pat, Mark Williams, its a sample from the commentary of England scoring their last goal in the 1966 World Cup final against West Germany.
	♥ 11:32am crateslinger: but I wouldn't wanna paint it. XD
	11:33am Chris M.: THEY FLY AT DAWN
