Hello, friend. Thank you as always for joining me here on Talk of Ages. This time around, we take an extended look back at music that was new in October of 1985. Before we do so, I have two very important announcements.

First of all, I initially thought I screwed up big time and left a top 10 single, a song, like, if you know 80s pop at all, a song you definitely remember off of the main show and accidentally resigned it to, you know, the trash heap on the best of the rest.

Luckily not the case. I did it twice. There are two songs that you almost certainly remember from the 80s. I'm not sure how this

happened. Stuck there with the misfits of the outcasts on the Patreon. All the more reason to come

see what you had been missing when the show is done here, of course, at patreon.com slash Mike Tully.

Also, and perhaps more importantly, for reasons too complicated and convoluted to get into

right here, right now.

In about two months' time, this show is going to become Patreon exclusive.

So if you want to continue joining me, and I hope you will, on this journey through the history

of some of the greatest music of all time from the 80s and the 90s in painstaking month-by-month fashion.

I will keep reminding you.

We've got plenty of time between now and then.

For now, let's enjoy the music of October 85.

Okay, you ready to start this show?

Your host of the evening is a really funny dude.

I forgot his last name, but I've seen him before.

He's really funny.

Give him up from Mike.

joining me. As always, I have listened to a veritable buttload of old music so that you
