	12:33am Jinx: i didn't go to college until i was 25, in 1986, so these songs resonate.
	12:35am Cooh John: In 1986 I was 27, Jinx.
	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!
	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!

	12:49am javakid: I wasn't familiar with this side of Died Pretty. Closer to Birthday Party than where they ended up.
	12:49am mariano: The 80s were more 60s than they way they're portrayed in movies and TV shows.
	12:50am Cooh John: djsheilab's men moaning.
	12:53am rw: Evening! That's funny, I almost commented about Big Black being the gold standard when I did a college radio show at KJHK in Lawrence, KS!
