Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore once revealed that he thought the band’s album title Dirty was inspired by his laundry pile. Guess creativity can even sprout from unwashed socks! 😅
Lotsa Sonic Youth on today’s playlist in honor of Moore’s birthday.

On this week’s Throwback Thursday playlist we listen to 30 of the best tracks that hit in 1987. It wasn’t a radical year for popular music, though there was enough good stuff to keep me entertained.
Madonna! Prince! Bruce! Michael! Chaka! Cyndi! Rockwell! Boy! The best of 1984’s pop stars/hits made a mark that remain part of our consciousness nearly forty years later. The influence of upstarts who didn’t crack the Hot 100 – The Smiths, The Replacements, Run-D.M.C. – has been acknowledged in the years since. For those who wish to relive those days, for those who wish they were living then, and for those who wish to associate 1984 with something other than a misunderstood piece of classic literature or the most recent Wonder Woman movie, this playlist is for you. Happy Throwback Thursday!
