got no expectations...

My left-field prediction is Queen, "Radio Ga-Ga" (that was '82, not '83, right?).
Meanwhile, I'd set my alarm for 6 so I could spend the morning transcribing notes, but allergies have completely crippled me all morning. Five of 11 and I've not accomplished a damn thing.

Off-topic, but I don't feel like changing threads: Where is this place "Swig"?

Just curious.

'84, actually...
Feel better -- Claritin, et al not working for ya?

"You got me requisitioned, Blondie!"
-
What are they singing here in "Athena":
"She's a ball"?
"She's the bomb"?
"She's a bone"?
"She's appalled"?
-
what was that movie clip with allthe introductions, Yours, Mine & Ours?
In any case that was a brilliant mini-segue: "And this is Keith..." straight into the opening riff of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking?"
I bet we hear Tommy Tutone, Pretenders, Genesis, Fleetwood Mac and maybe some Santana.

She'a a bomb.
Athena
I had no idea how much I need her
In peaceful times I hold her close and I feed her
My heart starts palpitating
When I think my guess was wrong
But I think I'll get alone
she's just a girl
She's a bomb
Athena
All I ever want to do is please her
My life has been so settled
And she's the reason
Just one word from her
And my troubles are long gone
But I think I'll get along
She's just a girl
She's a bomb
She's a bomb
Just a girl, just a girl
Just a girl, just a girl
Just a girl, just a gir;l
She's just a girl
Athena
My heart felt like a shattered glass in an acid bath
I felt like one of those flattened ants
You find on a crazy path
I'd have stopped myself to give her time
She didn't need to ask
Was I a suicidal psychopath
She's just a girl
She's a bomb
She's just a girl
She's a bomb
Consumed
There was a beautiful white horse
I saw on a dream stage
He had a snake the size of a sewer pipe
Livin in his rib cage
I felt like a pickled priest
Who was being flambed
You've got me requisitioned blondie
She's just a girl
She's a bomb
I'm happy
She's a bomb
I'm ecstatic
Just a girl, just a girl
Just a girl, just a girl
Just a girl, just a girl
Just a girl
Look into the face of a child
Measure how long you smiled
Before the \mem'ry claimed
How long would children remain
How long could children remain
Athena
You picked me up by my lapels
And screamed "leave her"
I felt like waking up in heaven
On an empty meter
And now you're stuck
With a castrated leader
And I hate the creep
I didn't mean that
She's a bomb
I just said it
She's a bomb
Please She's a bomb
Athena
I had no idea how much I need her
My life has been so settled
And she's the reason
Just one word from her
And my troubles are long gone
Ooh but I get along
She's just a girl
She's a bomb
She's just a girl
She's a bomb

it's from the Partridge Family.
They're doing a remake of YM&O, y'know.

I've been alternating between two Duane Reade products, one with the high-power stuff like Claritin but that induces drowsiness, and one that's not as fatiguing but is pretty much just antihistamine. Unfortunately, after two weeks I seem to have built up a tolerance against both (this is how my body responds to everything from drugs to alcohol to chocolate, I find).
Meanwhile, a hearty BOS to a Joe Jackson song I shall never, ever tire of.

diesel-driven bass line, piano LRV tracks

D'Oh!
Somehow it seemed like a lot more paople being introduced than were in the Partridges, but still I ought not be that dense.

Likewise, completely.

time to go back to bed! I've been sick for a week.

Argh. Fare thee well, compadre. Have a relaxing weekend.

feel better to you too -- is it that bronchitis-y thing thats making the rounds in SF? I had a fairly mild version of it a few weeks back.

I guess the plane's down in Africa again.

Yup, it's your typical Drive sausage party.
-
VHM Crock o'Seagulls. Saw them at NYC's Peppermint Lounge one hot August nite that summer, silly hair and all..

Dave Marsh on Toto: "...all chops and no brains. Formula pop songs, singing that wouldn't go over in a Holiday Inn cocktail lounge...about as real as a Velveeta orange polyester leisure suit."
Jeff Porcaro on Dave Marsh, et al: "...dimwitted idiots, and I dare any publication to include a list of the writer's credentials beside the review. Is he a musician? What is his background, and what gives him the right to say this, besides that he's an illiterate, garbage-headed pig?"
-
The Drive doesn't often venture into OMGWTFLOL territory, but here we are! It was the heat of the moment ...

Dave Marsh is *not* the critic you want to take on with that line of attack. Someone like me, sure, but not someone with Marsh's c.v.

LSHIPMP!

I still like this as far as a signifier of the times, but on closer inspection this really is a guilty pleasure of the worst sort:
Do you remember when we used to dance?
And incidents arose from circumstance.
Aaacckk!

BOS: "Every one of my records MEANS something!!!"
I understand completely. (And I'm astonished that I've still never seen that movie.)
-
BOS - Shrevie from Diner.
Such a great movie, so many great lines.

And his c.v. includes what? aside from turning Springsteen into his own personal cottage industry, that is.
I saw him in that docu about CKLW last year -- I was astounded, he was even dweebier than I'd imagined him.
-

Um, co-founding Creem magazine? Editor at Rolling Stone for 15 years? I know how you feel about the guy and don't need to go down that road again, but you can't deny that he's done stuff besides write gushingly about Broooce.

yeah yeah OK those are worthy credits. I just think he's been way too inconsistent, in the years since his, er, glory days.

I heard this song yesterday afternoon on A to Z. Officially, I think Pete's singing "she's a bomb" ("the bomb" was not part of the vernacular in 1982) but his pronounciation is so weird that it could easily be heard as any of your choices.

BOS - Shrevie from Diner.
Such a great movie, so many great lines.
Agree completely. I identify with the Shrevie character in that film more than any of the others. GREAT film, I probably watch it once every 8 months or so.
And like Dazed & Confused would a decade later, it gave us our first looks at a number of notable (but not necessarily great) actors. Diner=Mickey Rourke, Paul Reiser, Kevin Bacon, Michael Tucker, Ellen Barkin, Steve Guttenberg, Timothy Daly.
Dazed & Confused: Ben Affleck, Matthew McConnaughey, Parker Posey, Milla Jovovich

D&C also gave us Adam Goldberg, star of the immortal Hebrew Hammer!

Ah, I didn't realize he'd gotten a more prominent role. I only remember in a recurring bit part on Friends a few years back. And his sidekick from D&C, Anthony Rapp, has had some pretty good stage roles (or so I've read.)
Also Marisa Ribisi is Giovanni Ribisi's sister, but that's stretching it.

One line among many:
Paul Reiser: That's what it is! It's the whole left side of the menu!
(the guys are looking at the big guy in the next booth who is pigging out)
Okay, one more:
Timothy Daly: I'll hit you so hard I'll kill your whole family!
(He & Guttenberg are spending the night in jail courtesy of Kevin Bacon's antics & another inmate won't stop hassling Daly)
