We went to the "WLIR Reunion" night at the Garden City Hotel back in the spring, and I could swear a UFO came down in the Spit parking lot in 1986, scooped up a dozen people and dropped them off in 2006 wearing the same stuff.

My favorite memory of LI clubs was winning the "Spotlight Dance Dance" at Malibu all the time. It wasn't because I was a good dancer (in the least), it was because I was a WLIR intern, and Donna Donna would bust my chops by picking me out. It fas fun for the girlfriend, but the prize was usually a cassette of something I already had on CD.

I saw a stand up comic at Governor's a few years ago joking about how we'd dance to anything back then. What was the German techno tune in the late 80's with the "guns-knives-fire-burn" chorus? Good dance tune, but I kept waiting for the train to the concentration camp to pull up. What the heck were they on about?

I had stopped going to malibu before the spotlight dance contests but I remember hanging out with Donna Donna and Sock one night at Thrush

Amazing how many Long Islanders there are on this board! Sorry that it's all us ruminating, but it goes to show how powerful a little station like WLIR really was. Such a shame there's nothing like that anywhere on FM radio today.

BTW - Nitzer Ebb's "Join In the Chant" was the song I was thinking of. I remember dancing to it, but thinking it sounded like a nazi rally set to dance music!

I thought the same about "Amok" by Ledernaken

Glittering Prize...I have been racking my brain....who was the other DJ at Subway? Was it Paul (used to go to Spize)?

Gone is the Red and black hair with shaved sections and jewelled and gold metal conical coned hair styles.

An impressive collection of bands, Tikon. Have you ever been to NY?

Here's a little Thrush trivia question:
What song was the last song played most nights at Thrush? Hint---it was not a new wave or punk song

Im trying to think of who you are Club80, you went from the time I started going up through thrush, the same time I did, Holbrook huh

I am going nutts trying to figure out who you are, I am female, i probably didnt say much to you because of shyness but I was always there at every club...with my sister

Hey Cee, I got caught up in the legal not legal thing too, I actually walked in to 007 with my birth certificate when I turned 19, then just a short time later I was underage again

I just was hoping they would forget that night and they did!!!

by **club80** » Sun Oct 08, 2006 7:47 am

To Sir with Love.....right on the money. Adam and I went to High School and college together. Actually, Paul went to college with us too!
I can't believe Adam married Andrea after all that time. That's awesome! Who was your sister?

What year was that drinking age thing?

by **club80** » Sun Oct 08, 2006 8:17 am

Hi Philly!
I think it went to 19 in 1983 and 21 in 1985.

Glittering Prize...I saw Adam's website but how do I contact him? Do you remember Scott and Kevin? Brian?
