a loverly start with Nick Heyward.
-
Agreed. '83 is a good music for me anyways- but that was a particualrly good start.
-
Oh, damn. Didn't want '80s today. I don't want synths and drum programming. Anyone know offhand who was winning R&B Grammys in the early '80s besides Jacko?
-
Did Vanessa Williams's vapid comments on education actually strike anyone as useful? I'm glad to see that wretched ceremony become as outmoded as washing laundry on rocks.

So I gues that Tears For Fears did nothing for you? But "Pale Shelter" is one of the quintessential tunes of the genre for me.
-
The acoustic guitar strum in the middle of "Der Kommissar"'s solo suddenly strikes me today as a nod to the original "Venus." I don't know why I think that.

not without Googling, and I've no time to go searching. God, I SO have no use for the ATF version of "Komissar"...

Usually I like the song, as I do most of their material. But indeed, today it felt cold and mechanical.
-
Yeah, I don't know why Dave won't play the original 'Der Kommisar'.
-
Talking Heads would be nice, or Psych Furs. Or anything off Let's Dance that's not China Girl.
-
Lamest of Set: "Too Much Blood" by the Stones. Yeah, yeah. Ate her piece by piece. Whatever, Mick.
-
Jeez, I forgot the Stones even released a record in 83--Undercover, yes? I don't think I've EVER heard this on the radio before, in 1983 or since. A bust-out for 10@10?
-

To my knowledge Dave has never played any B-52's off the Whammy! album, even though the first 3 tracks got radio play on new wave stations. "Legal Tender" is one I'd kill to hear, (#81 that year).
-
"too Much Blood" indeed. Not my fave Stones but it gets points for being underplayed -- maybe even a breakout/Gomer?
-
Yee gawds, that's a terrible song.

I heard this on KISW in Seattle with regularity, but probably not since. Hard to believe a Stones tune is the Gomer of the set, but...

Let's break it back in, then. WOS.
-
"Undercover" is a pretty cool Stones song from around this period. "Too Much Blood" is just silly.

Will side-project Bowie do, sir? Looks like it's this for my BOS.
-
HM cuz I like it: "Cat People" by Der Bowie. I wasn't too keen on the movie, though. And considering it had a repeatedly naked Nastassia Kinski in it you'd think I would have liked it. But, no.

Yep, this will work. And it actually was on Let's Dance, even tho it had been released previously on the Cat People sdtrk. The first time I (and most people) heard anything of Stevie Ray Vaughan.

This is the Let's Dance version, tho', innit? The movie sndtk was '82.

Silly? You gonna call these lyrics silly?
I want to dance, I want to sing
I want to bust up everything
To make some love
I want to dance, I want to sing
I want to bust up everything
And make some love
I can feel it in the air
Feel it up above
Feel the tension everywhere
There is too much blood
Too much blood, well alright
Everything you see
On the movie screen is tame
Everything's gonna be arranged
A friend of mine was this Japanese. He had a girlfriend in
Paris. He tried to date her in six months and eventually she
said yes. You know he took her to his apartment, cut off her
head. Put the rest of her body in the refrigerator, ate her
piece by piece. Put her in the refrigerator, put her in the
freezer. And when he ate her and took her bones to the Bois de
Boulogne, by chance a taxi driver noticed him burying the
bones. You don't believe me? Truth is stranger than fiction.
We drive through there every day.
I want to dance, I want to sing
I want to bust up everything
Be number one, yeah
I want to dance, I want to sing
I want to bust up everything
And have some fun
I can feel it everywhere
Feel it up above
Feel the tension in the air
There is too much blood, too much blood
Too much, yeah too much blood, alright
Did you ever see 'Texas Chain Saw Massacre'? Horrible, wasn't
it? You know people ask me: it is really true where you live
in Texas, it is really true what they do around there, people?
I say, "yeah everytime I drive through the crossroads I get
scared there's a bloke running around with a fucking chain
saw. Oh oh no, gonna, oh no. Don't saw off me leg, don't saw
off me arm." When I get to the movies, you know I'd like to
see something more romantic, you know. Like 'An Officer and a
Gentleman' or something. Something you can take the wife to,
you know what I mean?
Yeah!
I want to dance, I want to sing
I want to bust up everything
And have some fun
I want to dance, I want to sing
I want to bust up everything
And make some love
I can feel it everywhere
Feel it up above
Feel the tension in the air
There is too much blood, too much blood
Oh yeah
Pretty ladies, don't be scared
Pretty ladies, don't be scared
Pretty ladies, don't be scared
Pretty ladies, don't be scared
Pretty ladies, don't despair
There's still so much love
Pretty ladies, don't despair
Too much, too much, yeah
Too much blood, too much blood
Too much too much blood, too much blood
Too much blood, too much blood............
well, yeah.

Schoolhouse Rock: "Talk About The Fractions"
-
Looks like Bowie just got trumped for my BOS vote by REM. Talk About the Passion. I'm thinking we've heard this before, but still nice to hear.
-
LOL! Gosh, Mshray- now that you've c & p'd the libretto I can't imagine how I ever thought that was a silly song! :roll:
-
Schoolhouse Rock: "Talk About The Fractions"
REM gets a BOS from me.
-
BOS = anything from Murmur.
I would listen to this literally endlessly. And U2's War & UB40's Labour of Love.
-
OK. This movie clip is going on too long....
-

"You are not special enough to overcome a bad marriage."
If none of us knew Dave was gay... his movie clips would totally give him away.
-
"It's so deep! It's so wide!" It's so self-important I want to swallow my tongue!
-
On the other hand, I always quite liked the vivid imagery of "S2."
-
LOL! Yeah, that Sting. Wotta nut.
-
Dave's 2nd Po-leese twin-spin in as many weeks.
-
What's with all the damn Police lately? This is the second Police double-play in the last week. Once, fine but I'm sorry, this is not acceptable. Besides, they'd started sucking by this point. (Props to them for packing it in after this album though. Remarkable self-awareness on Sting's part.)
My, these crankypants are a bit snug, aren't they?
-
Hey, hey, hey, heeeyyyy...
-
OK, if I can't enjoy this Human League track then I hate fun. I never get tired of pointing out how clumsy that synth riff is, and yet I grin like a child every time I hear it. And the lead-vocal tradeoff was an inspired arrangement.
-
BOS #2, "Fascination"
If this didn't get your ass out onto the dance floor that year, then nothing would.

Jinx! but kudos on your analysis.

BOS fer me.

I think the bass line compensates for the synth riff, and this is one of those relatively rare dance tunes that also an infectious sing-along.
Another quintessential '83 track: "The Walls Came Down"
I don't think there are any Russians!

Clumsy? it sounds downright out-of-tune, no? And yet it works. We are in complete agreement.
-
And the Katrinas Came Down. But it's still a great f---ing song.
-
As my Brit friends might say: What are they on about?
-
"the 10@10 Rule Book"
which Dave keeps in his, er, database. :wink:
-
If this were a drinking game, we'd all have to take one for Mike calling the "twin-spin" wording.

I just rec'd my belated xmas present from my sister, the DVD of "One From The Heart." I don't think I've seen much if any Nastasia since then, but boy did she make an impression on me in OFTH. I wonder if she's still as hot in this as I remember it?

I saw OFTH for the first time last year when the Castro revived it; I thought it was quite a disappointment, even though I love Tom Waits.

Since the movie was a flop, you're certainly not in my minority this time! I saw it with a half-dozen other people when it was originally out, and we all loved it, and we are very divergent people as far as taste goes too. Perhaps it's not meant for this time.
