| I have multiple copies of this one - it's usually in the crate when I'm playing live with KFAI Vinyl Voices or DJ'ing with other folks. It was the fourth and final single off Dead or Alive's monster LP "Youthquake." |

| This song features a dizzying array of "gear changes" for the chorus - but I think that's one of the really great things about it. Another wonderful extension - I learned to look for François' name after his remixes in the late 1980s |

| "Kiss Me (Vocal)" was from show , preceded by a Caroline Munro/Gary Numan track and followed by a Dana Dane track. It just kinda ended up that way, as most shows do |
6.8.19 12:16 |
| I started counting tracks pretty late in the game - around show . Hopefully I was accurate by the time I got to the 200th track, which is the one you're hearing right now (as I said, now also the 271st track) |

| The regular "LP Version" of this track has a rockin' guitar solo that must not have felt very "disco" as it doesn't show up here - I did play it on 's show once |
6.8.19 12:11 |
| I didn't know until I looked her up on Discogs but Taka Boom is Chaka Khan's sister - it DOES explain some of her vocal stylings |
6.8.19 12:09 |
| More slap bass! |
6.8.19 12:09 |
| This is Taka Boom! I bought this 12" solely based on the track length and the words "Disco Version" - that technique is usually worth risking the dollar. |
6.8.19 12:08 |
| Wow, "new Twitter" sure doesn't like tweeting until the second time I hit that "Tweet" button, huh? |
6.8.19 12:07 |
| This is apparently a Sennheiser vocoder. That would have been a good thing to mention DURING the show, but I often do my research a little too late. |

| I love a good slap bass! I also love and hope you consider making a pledge inspired by today's to help https://kfai.org/donate/donations/ (you can also try to pledge to get me to STOP tweeting, but you'll still be with me for the next hour) |

| Fashion and Duran Duran came up together but "Fabrique" didn't quite get the promotional/label oomph that "Rio" did - one wonders how new wave/new romantic might have evolved if they had been a little more level |
6.8.19 12:02 |
| This is FASHIØN, one of the groups that's gotten the most popular feedback from others AND me - I've found three of their 12" singles for a dollar each and played four different long tracks of theirs on the show. |

| Well, at least I can point to Franklin Ave for that one - but I look at the map and in NE it just goes 19th, 20th, 22nd - used to get me every time driving down University.
AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ABOUT 18½ AVE NE |

| I can't be the only guy in Minneapolis who wants to know why 21st Ave NE doesn't exist, can I? |
