Are you looking for strictly alternative 80's?  If so, good luck finding 
anyplace else.  Dave and Kristine do take requests on Thursday nights and try 
to accommodate everyone.  Dave does know how to DJ and has been doing it at 
NEO (and previously at 950) for at least 20 years.  Sometimes it's just a 
matter of waiting to hear a good set of music.  We usually stay until close 
when we go so we can hear the 80's punk/ska set at the end of the night.

A non-80's alternative you might want to try is Smart Bar.  Thursday nights 
have been new electronicy dance music (electroclash).  It's not house/techno 
music; it's more in the line with early Depeche Mode.  This upcoming Thursday, 
November 14, Add N to (X) and Soviet (both new electronic dance bands) are 
going to be playing at Empty Bottle.  One other place that I have not been to 
is Big Wig on Division and Ashland.  I hear they play decent non-rave dance 
music on Thursday (but this is second hand knowledge).

Good luck.
