No, I don't know the year this early, but on Thursday at 10:00 sharp I'll be goin' under the ether for a double wisdom tooth extraction.  I'll try to dream of a great set for y'all.

Nothing but soup & smoothies for a week, maybe I'll lose 5 lbs!

Cheers!

(urth, feel free to edit after the year becomes known)

I will be golfing (Crystal Springs) so I won't be able to fix the subject line either.

I'll be thinking of all of you and trying to listen. Work lately has just been hazardous to my well being. Severe lack of time/privacy to listen and can't risk being seen posting. New head honcho sitting within 3 feet of me. Still looking for a job, no recent nibbles, time running out but at the same time, not coming soon enough.

BTW, I looked up chuffed today. Double meaning? I'm confused.

Maybe I was thinking of the wrong word?  I thought "can't be chuffed" = "can't be bothered."

Anyway, I hope you land a new situation soon.  If it's any encouragement, the Voice has reaffirmed its commitment to bringing me on full-time as soon as there's an opening and have given me a handsome raise to tide me over in the meantime.

YAY!!! You are more than deserving, bub. Hang in there, Ali; feel better Mark!

As to today set... if tomorrow is indeed the "Fool" set, then today may be our late '60s/early '70s hit of the week. I'll be in a meeting too, dammit. Gaz & poc will be alone together  :roll:

per the Brit slang dictionary:

chuffed adj. Someone who describes themselves as being chuffed is generally happy with life. You can also get away with saying you are unchuffed or dischuffed if something gets your back up.

OOh, BOS2 to the Smiths' "Ask" just for its Gomer-ness.  Far from my favorite Smiths song but still more interesting than the usual '87 fare.

Speaking of which, I like how we all sort of pretended that Bruce Hornsby track never happened.

Wow, it's dental maintenance day at the 10@10 Club! I just got in from a thrice-yearly cleaning (Mark's double-wisdom yankage trumps mine in fine fashion though), just in time for Showdown at Big Sky (a possible BOS for me). I assume this is '87, but awaiting confirmation before I edit Mark's subject line.

I'm not sure Dave has ever played this outside the Hits From Hell context.  Thing is, it's only a HFH because of the Airplane's long history.  Otherwise this would be a fine if ephemeral soundtrack entry.

Minor trivia: only Mickey and Grace appaear on this track, along with studio musicians -- Narada Michael Walden didn't want to wait for the rest of the band's availability, so he used studio hacks.

Fine.  I'm happy for you.  Me, I'm a friggin' cube slave.

Go low.
No such luck.  Besides being a shitty golfer, we couldn't drive the carts on the fairway from all the rain, and I was hitting the balls way far away from the cart path, losing balls left and right, marshall hurried us along, my knee sucks, so we packed it in after 9 holes.  Beautiful day, ugly golf.

now a bos for gaz!!! jefferson airplane! i mean, uh...

I'm not sure Dave has ever played this outside the Hits From Hell context.  Thing is, it's only a HFH because of the Airplane's long history.  Otherwise this would be a fine if ephemeral soundtrack entry.

Minor trivia: only Mickey and Grace appaear on this track, along with studio musicians -- Narada Michael Walden didn't want to wait for the rest of the band's availability, so he used studio hacks.

Still, you were on a golf course.  I'm jealous anyway.

Got to learn to play cart path golf.

is that an ian anderson sample in "no new tale to tell?" or the real mccoy?


Allmusic Song Review by Dave Thompson:
 
Whereas Love and Rockets' past albums had reveled in thick production and psychedelic density, Earth-Sun-Moon, its third, reversed the process completely, plumping for bright acoustic guitars, sharp melodies, and a minimum of overdubs and trickery. "No New Tale To Tell" nevertheless reveled in retro-pastiche — the flute solo amidships (played on the accompanying video by a monkey!) is lifted straight out of the prog rock handbook, conjuring visions of Jethro Tull, Comus, and so many more. That said, the song itself is as bright and breezy as you could wish, swinging on the catchiest of choruses, and American radio responded to its release by slamming it into the Top Five "Most Added."
 
In fact the DJ's on 91X had a clip of the band saying that it started out as a parody of Jethro Tull (whom they actually liked), and it sorta took on a life of its own in the studio.  Flutist credited as Mel Thorpe on my disc, no idea who he is.

That being cleared up, I have awakened from my post surgical nap, still have gauze wedged into my jaw so I can't really talk, the effects of the general anaesthesia seem to be all gone & feeling is returning to my lips, cheeks and gums as the local is gradually wearing off.  But what Bill Cosby always said is definitely true: Novacaine doens't kill pain.  It just postpones it.  Just took my second dose of vitamin V to compensate.

thanks for the many kind thoughts & a big CONGRATS to Gaz for his VV news!!

Just curious: when you say "vitamin V," do you mean vicodin or vodka? In the days when Herb Caen was the first thing I read in the Chron every morning, it was the latter. Either way, hope you're feeling better. And may I make one suggestion: popsicles. Taste good, nice and cold, and no chewing necessary.

Oh, and may I echo everyone's good wishes to Gaz for the vote of confidence from the folks at Da Voice. They're finally waking up to what they got there.
