Music
Kobi and I are supposed to put together a musical act for our 25th reunion at The Governor's Academy (formerly Governor Dummer Academy). Here's a list of possible tunes we'll perform:
80s
- Violent Femmes, Kiss Off
- Drowned in teen angst all over the place, pretty easy to play. "They'll hurt me bad, but they do it all the time." "I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record."
- The Cure, In Between Days
- Cheery, bet a lot of day-schoolers woke up to this on the way to Byfield.
- The Cure, Just Like Heaven
- Big hit at our college dance parties.
- New Order, Blue Monday
- Official dance club hit of our generation.
- Peter Gabriel, Don't Give Up
- Denny Hannon '88 performed both sides of this duo; we won't make that mistake.
- The Pretenders, Don't Get Me Wrong
- Crossover between alternative types and mainstream listeners.
- The Smiths, Ask
- "Shyness can stop you from performing the songs you'd like to."
- The Smiths, How Soon Is Now?
- Alt Anthem.
- U2, With or Without You
- Mr. Robb performed this with a student band. Just one incident from a long list of embarrassing fraternization with the enemy.
- Depeche Mode, Sometimes
- Downtime song.
- Depeche Mode, People Are People
- "Why should it be you and I should get along so awfully?"
- Eurythmics, Sweet Dreams Are Made of This
- If WBCN wasn't rocking this on my alarm radio in Perkins freshman year, I don't know whether I'd make it through breakfast.
