There&#8217;s a Facebook memorial page for a radio station that went off the air two decades ago? Crazy.)  While everyone else was listening to John Couger, Madonna, Blondie, and the Police, I was listening to Echo &#038; the Bunnymen, New Order, Depeche Mode, and the Cure. I find it curious that current movies set in the 80&#8217;s all treat the latter as the music of the day.  In my experience, the former was the <em>actual<\/em> sound of the 80&#8217;s.  There were a dozen pop stations around Pittsburgh back then, and only one alternative station.  A small station.  Which was based in New Kensington, not Pittsburgh. And which went out of business.  The soundtrack for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0119229\/\">Grosse Point Blank<\/a> is revisionist history in my book.<\/p>\n<p>You realize what this means, don&#8217;t you?
