16 Sept 2008: 1982

[Gazoo]

you know I'm going to BOS Strange Advance!

I'll be the curmudgeon this time: I don't like this nearly as much as everyone else. If I want a Roxy imitation, I go for Icehouse. But it does get points as a Narada; this never got any play in NYC.

TANC: Heeeere's Roxy Music!

I understand difference of opinion, but I don't get the Roxy comparison.

I agree, Geoff; the drawn-out romanticism is a commonality, but the Midge Ure/Ultravox comparison is, I think, more apt.

I'm filing that Plant pic under "don't ask, don't tell."

LOL.  Seriously.

I arrived a few minutes late; did Jim get a b'day shout from Dave?

Not likely; I didn't send in a request. But since I wasn't listening, no biggie. First time I'd missed a set on my birthday since the year I moved to SF, but this year we headed up to visit some friends (also SF expats) who live at the mouth of the Columbia, over on the Washington side, so got a semiearly start.

And it looks like it was a pretty typical '82 KFOG birthday set. Would likely have BOS'd the PG, the Roxy, and probably Strange Advance. (Btw, for the record, I am down with the Ultravox/Midge Ure resemblance--I used to think that's who did this song.)
