	♥ 6:05am diciassette: End of the Century! It's about time. Hi guys. Hallo fred, I used to put WFMU shows in my calendar on NJ time and it would keep it straight for me.

	♥ 6:07am Dave in Vermont: "one of us, one of us"
	6:10am CarolCrow: Welvome, deciassette!
	6:11am CarolCrow: Good morning, Dave! :)
	♥ 6:21am jkeigh: Remember when MTV was playing Monty Python and the Young Ones for a while?
	♥ 6:23am fred: Time change indeed, sounds like I moved back a few decades
	6:23am CarolCrow: @jkeigh: I remember the Young Ones! Wow! I forgot all about that!
	♥ 6:23am Dave in Vermont: This set is truly disturbing.
	♥ 6:27am jkeigh: I had to explain to a much younger coworker than the channel used to be good and was the only place to see videos before youtube
	6:28am pp: ahm not distoibed
	6:30am CarolCrow: Dave, we must try to just go with it & DANCE!! :) :)
	♥ 6:30am Sem: Good morning, Ms. Crow, the seriously moon-lit. Having, like, @fred, a Van Winkle moment.
	♥ 6:32am jkeigh: Dance Like Beavis and Butthead! www.youtube.com...
	6:33am CarolCrow: Hey, pp:)
	♥ 6:33am diciassette: Romeo Void, The Motels, Holly and The Italians!
	♥ 6:35am diciassette: Also disturbing that 2018 makes the ray-gun era look good.
	6:35am CarolCrow: Good morning, Sem:)
	6:36am Jay/London: morning Carol all this takes me back when i was working at the BBC and MTV came on air :)

	6:46am Jay/London: all the hits and more ... as they used to say :)
	♥ 6:47am fred: I'm expecting Video Killed the Radio Star to come up next
	6:48am Jay/London: that was the first song MTV played Fred
	♥ 6:52am diciassette: Nobody ever told me that Rick Springfield was Australian when I was a kid so I thought "Living in Oz" was figuratively about living in Oz.
	♥ 6:53am jkeigh: @fred, I actually thought that is was going to be the firsts song :-)
	♥ 6:55am fred: @Jay: it was also the first single I bought with my "own" money
	6:57am wfmu listener phillip: WOW!... im stunned!. i missed this! our neighborhood was wired for cable in 1992. they really did play music on MTV
	♥ 7:01am Ken From Hyde Park: Huh? Have I awakened in some kind of a time machine?
	♥ 7:07am jkeigh: Yes Ken, what is this thing you speak of called the Interweb?
	♥ 7:08am diciassette: Why does my TV have a keyboard?
	♥ 7:09am fred: I guess it's off topic, but I love Big Blood's cover of Heart Of Glass
	♥ 7:09am Dave in Vermont: I remember seeing/hearing PIL for the first time and being like, "what" and I remember Henry Rollins VJing in the middle of the night and openly criticizing a Sonic Youth video (that he was announcing) with the skateboarding because of someone that Rollins knew who had died
	♥ 7:10am jkeigh: @ diciasette So you can play global thermal nuclear war
	♥ 7:10am diciassette: Oh yeah! I'd forgot.
	7:11am Soggy Donkey: I vividly remember MTV coming to Western Pennsylvania when I was in middle school. First video I ever saw was The Fixx's "One Thing Leads to Another." Must have been '82 or '83 maybe?
	7:12am Soggy Donkey: Thanks for doing this, Carol -- I have really mixed feelings, because the world felt so different then, and I don't wanna miss it, but I do. Those promos especially -- and the accents! I'm anti-nostalgia, so I'm struggling. And also cannot stop listening!
	7:13am wfmu listener phillip: best version of this song i ever heard mary ramsey & 10.000 maniacs
	7:15am wfmu listener phillip: Who are you and what have you done with the original Carol Crow. (x files theme)
	7:18am Soggy Donkey: @ Phillip LOL
	♥ 7:18am Dave in Vermont: 16 minute music video- let the revolution begin
	♥ 7:19am fred: I guess Carol wouldn't have ever known about this era without youtube
	♥ 7:24am Sem: The Price was right for this.
	7:26am CarolCrow: Hey there, Jay! Hello philip! Good morning, Ken:) Hi Soggy Donkey!
	7:29am Soggy Donkey: Morning Carol. Loving listening to your show as always.
	♥ 7:31am fred: Shock The Monkey got a nice shout out with Micah's premium this year
	♥ 7:34am jkeigh: Wasn't the Security album one of the first all DDD albums recorded?
	7:35am ?: so this is not Falco?
	7:36am wolfg: hmm?
	7:36am wolfg: mother the man who brings the snow has come
	7:37am wolfg: so is not falco?
	7:39am wolfg: nobody home?
	♥ 7:40am kuba: pretty sure it _was_ falco
	♥ 7:40am diciassette: I think it was After the Fire (they covered it a year after the original came out)
	7:41am Carl: I think Falco covered it in german.
	♥ 7:41am kuba: @dave & fred: i for one enjoy the daylight savings confusion limbo week! it's weird how only one hour brings me so many surprises
	7:41am CarolCrow: I learned that falco never did an English version of Der Kommissar. A British group did an English version a year after Falco. But double check please THANKS
	♥ 7:42am fred: Weirdly, my MTV memory of Talking Heads was Road to Nowhere
	♥ 7:43am jkeigh: I think that Once in A Lifetime might be one of my favorite videos.
	7:43am Carl: Ahh, I got it backwards.
	♥ 7:43am kuba: oops, i was only going by my listening. they did a good falco impression! (i was actually surprised by falcos english skills...)
	♥ 7:45am Ken From Hyde Park: Who knows for sure? The wikipeople, of course. en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 7:46am kuba: but guessing is so much more fun... halbwissen for the win!
	7:50am wolfg: the US official video on YouTube is just the original German version
	7:51am CarolCrow: Hey wolfg! Hello kuba! Welcome Carl!
	7:51am David in London: Great set this morning.
	7:51am wolfg: of Falco Kommissar, same as my German childhood version, is a lot better I find than After the Fire
	7:52am wolfg: hey Carol
	♥ 7:54am fred: Prince!
	♥ 7:54am diciassette: Prince! [2]
	♥ 7:56am kuba: hi carol! my first mtv memory was "frankie goes to hollywood - relax", via satellite in germany in the early 90s... or so i thought. my video memory doesn't add up!
	♥ 7:56am diciassette: It's 5 in the morning and I feel like my mom's going to yell at me if she finds out I've been up all night listening to videos.
	7:58am VT Knit Girl: you are making all my 80's dreams come true!!!
	♥ 8:00am kuba: whoa... so i just found out that i've been remembering a specific 10 seconds of a 1993 remix of "relax"... youtu.be... and a user in the comments is asking about those very ten seconds.
	8:01am wolfg: I like most of NDW
	8:02am wolfg: die sennerin vom königsee
	♥ 8:03am dale: i see i picked an interesting morning to sleep in...
	8:03am wolfg: fred vom jupiter
	8:03am wolfg: nena leuchtturm
	8:04am wolfg: nur geträumt

	8:12am wolfg: u wanted to know who and where from I am, I am from conneticut, Mayflower style
	8:16am TDK60: Morning. Talkin' about MTV? I totally ignored it when it came out, wasn't interested.
	♥ 8:20am dale: i was without tv for most of the 80s. a friend worked there in the early 80s on 6th avenue and i used to go hang out in the corporate offices though.
	♥ 8:21am dale: interviewed at the diesign shop that did the moon/flag thing. notovitz and perrault i think. they never called me back.
	♥ 8:21am jkeigh: @TDK60, but now you're hooked on Jersey Shore family vacation?
	♥ 8:23am fred: The Space Lady did a delightful cover of this song
	8:24am TDK60: I listened to some of the music that was on MTV, just didn't have a TV at the time, was anti-TV, still am mostly.
	8:25am Doobois: LOL
	♥ 8:26am fred: @TDK60: I don't have a TV, not that I'm against it, I just prefer radio, and there's only so much time
	8:28am dfb: pop muzik has such an infectious beat
	8:28am TDK60: jkeigh: I've won a trip to the Jersey shore?!
	8:28am geronimo: this is a really great show! loving the old mtv promos and the early 80's tunes... 'our beloved DEVO'!
	♥ 8:29am jkeigh: I had to look up what was actually on MTV now and pick a show at random. I was going to pick Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant but since we live in NJ....
	8:30am Doobois: YAAAAAS! The ONLY AFOS jam for me!
	8:30am SeanG: MTV ruled back then
	♥ 8:30am jkeigh: @Doobois, Love this one too!
	8:31am TDK60: public admission: But I've since watched some of the vidz via computer. // fred: yeah, it's just budgeting time: radio is more interesting to me.
	♥ 8:34am dale: a flock of seagulls was on a show called hit me baby one more time back in 2005. i remember one guy lived in florida but forgot his job. the other guy lived in the pacific northwest and was an i.t. guy. here's everyone on the u.s. version of the show. en.wikipedia.org...
	8:38am Robert D: Great!
	♥ 8:38am Dave in Vermont: This Billy Idol video made me uncomfortable and creeped out in about 6th grade
	♥ 8:38am Ken From Hyde Park: I liked how the guys from Big Country went zipping around the Scottish countryside in their ATVs.
	♥ 8:43am dale: "she failed me in biology?" - is he talking about his science teacher?
	♥ 8:43am dale: ken from utah - the osmonds did that first in heading back to utah.
	8:43am pp: never had cable but instead heard all these outside of MTV
	8:44am Sean d: I loved VJ Kennedy
	♥ 8:44am dale: 'i can smell the shaving cream?' maybe i'm not hearing things correctly.
	♥ 8:45am dale: i wonder when people started writing music to go with a video concept instead of vicey versey.
	8:45am thor83: catching end of the show, good mix of 80s, cheers
	8:45am Sean d: Oh yeah and all the other girls on videos
	8:51am TDK60: Used to dig Dolby's early albums; like a lot of artists, I've not heard his later music; stuff to maybe look into...
	♥ 8:51am Stanley: This is good shaving cream
	♥ 8:51am fred: I still love this song (and still harbor the suspicion it might be an Eric Idle side project)
	8:52am David in London: Talk Talk then go on to male Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock. Unbelievably great.
	8:53am Pascal: What a classic from Pete Shelley! Greeting Homo-sapiens of WFMU and beyond!!
	8:56am Robert D: I love the smell of napalm in the morning!
	♥ 8:59am fred: I never had access to MTV, but the one video that really struck me in that era was New Order's Perfect Kiss
	♥ 8:59am dale: the cover of this with him in boxing trunks reminded me of us kids in gym class wearing those giant elasticized shorts and tee shirts we would 'grow into'
	♥ 8:59am jkeigh: @Fred The Golden Age of Wireless is one of those albums with different track listings for different versions and I'm never sure about which is the 'proper' version
	♥ 8:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Gizzards, time's up already? Thanks for the memories, Carol. I call it Empty Vee these days. If they're not showing Beavis and Butt-head or The Head, I don't see the point.
	♥ 9:00am jkeigh: Thanks for this flashback, It could of gone on all day. I had a blast truly!
	♥ 9:00am Yvang: Thanks!
	9:05am CarolCrow: Hey Everyone, THANK YOU SO MUCH for indulging my return to my teenage years! I hope there was something there that you liked! I had loads more to play...Maybe we'll do a Part 2? Anyway, have a great day all! THANK YOU FOR LISTENING:) :).

	7:20pm Marie: Great idea for a show and great show! Thanks Carol.
	♥ 7:07am listener james from westwood: Good gods, this blast of 80s middle-school goodness was sorely needed after last week. Thanks!!

	6:36am Jay/London: morning Carol all this takes me back when i was working at the BBC and MTV came on air :)

	♥ 6:47am fred: I'm expecting Video Killed the Radio Star to come up next
	6:48am Jay/London: that was the first song MTV played Fred
	♥ 6:52am diciassette: Nobody ever told me that Rick Springfield was Australian when I was a kid so I thought "Living in Oz" was figuratively about living in Oz.
	♥ 6:53am jkeigh: @fred, I actually thought that is was going to be the firsts song :-)
	♥ 6:55am fred: @Jay: it was also the first single I bought with my "own" money
	6:57am wfmu listener phillip: WOW!... im stunned!. i missed this! our neighborhood was wired for cable in 1992. they really did play music on MTV
	♥ 7:01am Ken From Hyde Park: Huh? Have I awakened in some kind of a time machine?
	♥ 7:07am jkeigh: Yes Ken, what is this thing you speak of called the Interweb?
	♥ 7:08am diciassette: Why does my TV have a keyboard?
	♥ 7:09am fred: I guess it's off topic, but I love Big Blood's cover of Heart Of Glass
	♥ 7:09am Dave in Vermont: I remember seeing/hearing PIL for the first time and being like, "what" and I remember Henry Rollins VJing in the middle of the night and openly criticizing a Sonic Youth video (that he was announcing) with the skateboarding because of someone that Rollins knew who had died
	♥ 7:10am jkeigh: @ diciasette So you can play global thermal nuclear war
	♥ 7:10am diciassette: Oh yeah! I'd forgot.
	7:11am Soggy Donkey: I vividly remember MTV coming to Western Pennsylvania when I was in middle school. First video I ever saw was The Fixx's "One Thing Leads to Another." Must have been '82 or '83 maybe?
	7:12am Soggy Donkey: Thanks for doing this, Carol -- I have really mixed feelings, because the world felt so different then, and I don't wanna miss it, but I do. Those promos especially -- and the accents! I'm anti-nostalgia, so I'm struggling. And also cannot stop listening!
	7:13am wfmu listener phillip: best version of this song i ever heard mary ramsey & 10.000 maniacs
	7:15am wfmu listener phillip: Who are you and what have you done with the original Carol Crow. (x files theme)
	7:18am Soggy Donkey: @ Phillip LOL
	♥ 7:18am Dave in Vermont: 16 minute music video- let the revolution begin
	♥ 7:19am fred: I guess Carol wouldn't have ever known about this era without youtube

	♥ 7:34am jkeigh: Wasn't the Security album one of the first all DDD albums recorded?
	7:35am ?: so this is not Falco?
	7:36am wolfg: hmm?
	7:36am wolfg: mother the man who brings the snow has come
	7:37am wolfg: so is not falco?
	7:39am wolfg: nobody home?
	♥ 7:40am kuba: pretty sure it _was_ falco
	♥ 7:40am diciassette: I think it was After the Fire (they covered it a year after the original came out)
	7:41am Carl: I think Falco covered it in german.
	♥ 7:41am kuba: @dave & fred: i for one enjoy the daylight savings confusion limbo week! it's weird how only one hour brings me so many surprises
	7:41am CarolCrow: I learned that falco never did an English version of Der Kommissar. A British group did an English version a year after Falco. But double check please THANKS
	♥ 7:42am fred: Weirdly, my MTV memory of Talking Heads was Road to Nowhere
	♥ 7:43am jkeigh: I think that Once in A Lifetime might be one of my favorite videos.
	7:43am Carl: Ahh, I got it backwards.
	♥ 7:43am kuba: oops, i was only going by my listening. they did a good falco impression! (i was actually surprised by falcos english skills...)

	7:50am wolfg: the US official video on YouTube is just the original German version
	7:51am CarolCrow: Hey wolfg! Hello kuba! Welcome Carl!
	7:51am David in London: Great set this morning.
	7:51am wolfg: of Falco Kommissar, same as my German childhood version, is a lot better I find than After the Fire
	7:52am wolfg: hey Carol
	♥ 7:54am fred: Prince!
	♥ 7:54am diciassette: Prince! [2]
	♥ 7:56am kuba: hi carol! my first mtv memory was "frankie goes to hollywood - relax", via satellite in germany in the early 90s... or so i thought. my video memory doesn't add up!
	♥ 7:56am diciassette: It's 5 in the morning and I feel like my mom's going to yell at me if she finds out I've been up all night listening to videos.
	7:58am VT Knit Girl: you are making all my 80's dreams come true!!!
	♥ 8:00am kuba: whoa... so i just found out that i've been remembering a specific 10 seconds of a 1993 remix of "relax"... youtu.be... and a user in the comments is asking about those very ten seconds.

	♥ 8:21am dale: interviewed at the diesign shop that did the moon/flag thing. notovitz and perrault i think. they never called me back.
	♥ 8:21am jkeigh: @TDK60, but now you're hooked on Jersey Shore family vacation?
	♥ 8:23am fred: The Space Lady did a delightful cover of this song
	8:24am TDK60: I listened to some of the music that was on MTV, just didn't have a TV at the time, was anti-TV, still am mostly.
	8:25am Doobois: LOL
	♥ 8:26am fred: @TDK60: I don't have a TV, not that I'm against it, I just prefer radio, and there's only so much time

	8:38am Robert D: Great!
	♥ 8:38am Dave in Vermont: This Billy Idol video made me uncomfortable and creeped out in about 6th grade
	♥ 8:38am Ken From Hyde Park: I liked how the guys from Big Country went zipping around the Scottish countryside in their ATVs.
	♥ 8:43am dale: "she failed me in biology?" - is he talking about his science teacher?
	♥ 8:43am dale: ken from utah - the osmonds did that first in heading back to utah.
	8:43am pp: never had cable but instead heard all these outside of MTV
	8:44am Sean d: I loved VJ Kennedy
	♥ 8:44am dale: 'i can smell the shaving cream?' maybe i'm not hearing things correctly.

	8:45am Sean d: Oh yeah and all the other girls on videos

	♥ 8:59am fred: I never had access to MTV, but the one video that really struck me in that era was New Order's Perfect Kiss
	♥ 8:59am dale: the cover of this with him in boxing trunks reminded me of us kids in gym class wearing those giant elasticized shorts and tee shirts we would 'grow into'
	♥ 8:59am jkeigh: @Fred The Golden Age of Wireless is one of those albums with different track listings for different versions and I'm never sure about which is the 'proper' version
	♥ 8:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Gizzards, time's up already? Thanks for the memories, Carol. I call it Empty Vee these days. If they're not showing Beavis and Butt-head or The Head, I don't see the point.
