Wow. I've played six hours of music (minus some of my talking) from 1986 & I'm not entirely sure I'm done. I did repeat some artists because they had more than one release in 1986 - off the top of my head, I can say for sure I played two songs by Elvis Costello, the Smiths, Momus, the Wedding Present, Cocteau Twins, the Fall, & Felt. Nick Cave released two records in 1986 but I only got around to playing one song. & then there were those I didn't play! I seriously could do another three-hour 1986 show.
But will I? I can't say, I haven't recovered from this one yet. However, there's plenty of great stuff to tide us over until we decide whether 1986 deserves another show. I mean, it does. It totally does. I should say whether I should make another show. I should. But I might not.
The show is available at both the KBOO website & at the Self Help Radio website. At the latter, please remember you need a username (SHR) & a password (selfhelp) to listen. It was just me today with lots of music, so I just list the songs below.
For me it was a really amazing year in music. Even my second choices seem excellent to me. I hope you find some things you like here too.
