KEXP uber-DJ John in the Morning just completed a wondrous feat: an hour and a half of music all straight outta 1987. At first I thought myself caught in a timewarp, and then I wondered aloud "who died?" Turns out he was simply fulfilling a listener's request to hear some tunes from '87. Talk about democracy. That was probably the best set of music I have heard in a long time (call me nostalgic). I'm proudly donning my Madonna "Who's That Girl" tour shirt, circa 1987, in honor.

You can no doubt catch it on the KEXP's streaming archives shortly.
