Fellow Skoochie's alumni,

I may have mentioned that former KZAM/KYYX DJ Stephen Rabow contacted me through this site and sent me some KYYX goodies.

Well, when I was busy with a post-New Year's cleaning fit, I found that one of the pages had fallen behind my desk. It's a SKOOCHIE'S playlist from September 1984. I don't have time to type the whole thing out at one sitting but I can fill in a few here and there . . . more later. E-mail me your address if you'd like me to send you a copy.

An asterisk * indicates that the playlist shows a video. I've added [?] for songs I can't remember (are they NW?). . . let me know if they're any good.

40. *Bananarama, Cruel Summer
41. *Talk Talk, Dum Dum Girl/Such a Shame
42. *Cocteau Twins, Pearly Dewdrops Drops
43. *Blanc Mange [sic], The Day Before/Don't Tell Me
44. *Special AICA, Free Nelson Mandela
45. George Michael, Careless Whisper
46. *Marilyn, Cry and Be Free [?]
47. Friction [sic] Factory, Just Like Heaven
48. *Rem [sic], South Central Rain
49. *Howard Jones, Pearl in a Shell
50. Ministry, All Day/Everyday is Halloween
51. *Lotus Eater, First Picture of You [?]
52. *Echo & the Bunnymen, Silver/Seven Sea
53. *Siouxie & the Banshees, Dazzle/Dear Prudence
54. *Dance Society, 2000/Heaven
55. Data, Blow [?]
56. *Simple Minds, Catwalk/Speed
57. Mosa NYA, Rise Up
58. Secret Hearts, Make that Move [?]
59. John Waite, Ain't Missing You [Huh?]
60. Joy Rose, In and Out [?]

Hi Hex
I would love to have a copy of the playlist.
Here is my e-mail debbi.lynch@valpo.edu

As for your ?, I believe that the Marilyn song was considered to be NW. I thought that HE was somehow related musically through Boy George.

Thanks Hex!

This is a great song (IMHO)
51. *Lotus Eater, First Picture of You

Hey Hex,
I got my playlist. This is to cool. Thank you so much the flashback!
Good times!

I agree Kimiiii,
This sounds like a GREAT idea!
I would love to relive some old memories by going back to Skoochies. Well the memories that I can relive that is.

<br>Hex, you're still a babe. Got mine too. Can we compile those songs onto a cd, rent Skoochies for a night, and relive the old days?

I wish. Gawd, I would love to mash on my old crush J. again!

Remember that sense of everything being possible? As long as I had my dancing shoes, my vintage coat and clutch, and a couple of bucks for cloves and the cover charge I could start my life over again every weekend. Tin Tin, Cee Farrow, Real Life, Ultravox . . . . sigh.

Hexicon, that is uncanny!

My offer to send a copy of mine, has yet to be taken........

Im working on making a dvd version next.
If anyone has ETV with new wave, lemme know.

Hi Hexicon,

Cheers
