Well, I will try to make your late night listening as painless (or painful?) as possible - thanks for staying for the ride!

The 80s had some cool music. I guess you just have to know where to look.

Man, I haven't thought of Scratch Acid in ages! It really is like a college show from the 80s - taking me right back.
  Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:33am
Jinx:

i didn't go to college until i was 25, in 1986, so these songs resonate.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:35am
Cooh John:

In 1986 I was 27, Jinx.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:36am
TomDash:

Thanks guys...this idea just kinda came to me earlier this week and I built a set around it. Started radio in 1985-86 and started college in 1987. I will say, show's gonna take a few turns! 2nd set punk, 3rd and 4th sets rather weird...
  12:36am
Old Dave:

This sounds EXACTLY like the university station where I was briefly a 3 AM DJ in 1982.
Do I miss it... somewhat. The friends I there had were so great and I was not old!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:37am
mariano:

Damn, I was class of '87 in high school, been a while since I've felt like the youngster of the group!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:37am
Cooh John:

Bring it, TD.

I wasn't familiar with this side of Died Pretty. Closer to Birthday Party than where they ended up.

The 80s were more 60s than they way they're portrayed in movies and TV shows.
