For those of you who have Comcast digital cable, allow me to make a recommendation. They've just added a new music channel (in our area, it's channel 422) called "Retro-Active." I really really wish this was a radio station I could get in the car and elsewhere, because I would never turn it off.

Let me present a sample of what they played, in order, this afternoon:

the Damned
Icehouse
ABC (specifically, "When Smokey Sings")
the Go-Gos (and not one of their big hits, either.)
David Bowie (ditto.)
The The

And this was after they played some Sisters of Mercy. It's a great mix of, well, 80s stuff and random stuff, that I totally dig.
