January 28 - February 10, 1988
In hindsight, for this excessively literate child of the late 80s, nerdy, kid-friendly videos led to new wave/college rock, which led to reading glowing reviews of new wave/college rock, which led to classier reasons to like new wave/college rock, which led to buying the alt-canon whole hog, which led to forgetting that at one point I thought the multi-culti dancers getting down to the wah-wah solo were R.E.M. - a gawkier Hooray For Everything. It wasn't the spirit of The Velvet Underground that first brought me to the scene, it was a variety of Batdances.

Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around
