How about 1986 so we can get a little Yankee Rose for a TOTHC?

This beat goes on, all right, but the Farfisa jingling in the background should not.

Left-field prediction: Macca's "Coming Up."

Jingling farfisas be damned- I'll give this song that's, like, 2 songs- the second one being "Switchin to Glide" (and the only one my stoner-brain remembers) an Honorable Flashback.

Uh. Yeah.

My sister- famous for amazing feats of Mondigreenism- thought that Macca song was called "Tummy Up"...

I wish Dave would play "Freedom of Choice" instead of this.  It's far more relevant to our current relationship with media and entertainment.

"Freedom of choice is what you got.  Freedom from choice is what you want."

"Whip It" is a great song- but there's a whole lotta really great DEVO from 'round this time I'd rather hear.

I agree...  it's not as catchy as Whip It, but a great song very relevant lyrics

Agreed, but  wasn't that on a later LP? - "The New Traditionalists" I remember it around 1982ish

"2d4" ? is that hip-hop speak?

This is the same JB we heard last week from Bob, no?

You know, I really have no idea.  Devo never really changed their sound so I'd never know one album from another.  (BTW, I do like "Whip It" a lot; I just hear it a lot.)

Even worse: D&D-speak.  "2d4" means "roll a four-sided die twice."  The resulting number indicates the amount of damage done.

Ooh!  BOS to Yoko's wishing bell (which I mistakenly assumed to be an elevator opening for YEARS).

Both Whip It and Freedom of Choice were on the same album (I bought it), I think named "Freedom of Choice"

You've obviously never played Dungeons & Dragons- which, come to think of it, was something I was doing in 1980!

ETA: Gaz explained it better while I was busy composing these brilliant lines...

My copy of Double Fantasy kept skipping. I took it back- exchanged it- and that kept skipping, too. Do you think the spirit of John Lennon was pissed at me?

If so, he was pissed at me too: When I was a member of BMG they advertised that DF had Yoko's "Walking on Thin Ice" on it, so I ordered it.  Found that it wasn't on there, so I returned it in a huff.

P.S.  I wasn't playing D&D until 1982, and didn't do well at it: I loved creating characters but got impatient with the adventures.  The final straw for my brother was when I used half my allotment of gold pieces to buy 25 chickens: I argued that they were a performing chorus called "Pick O' the Chix."  I was promptly killed off.  I hated having an older brother sometimes.

WOS (natch) to somnambulent Doobs, "Real Love."  Why don't they steal away, why don't they steeeeal uhhhh-waaaaay?
Title: Tue 7/5/05: It's 1980
Post by: RGMike on July 05, 2005, 10:31:35 AM
assuming this Doobs is a Gaz WOS -- this isn't even one of MY fave McDonald trax  -- too too obvious an attempt to clone "What a Fool Believes".

Gaz, your av is freaking me out.  "Journey when their album covers were cheezy."

Post by: Beej on July 05, 2005, 10:32:37 AM
I get the feeling there were lots of inferior copies of "Double Fantasy" made because they were made in haste following John's murder (I hadn't gotten 'round to getting mine until after).

As for why Yoko's song wasn't on there: ya got me.

As for your chickens: you should have spent the rest of your gold on razor wire for their feet & arrowheads for their beaks. Then they could have been "attack chickens" as well as "performing chickens". It's all in how you present it, babe.  :D

On the bright side- now all I get is mental pictures of Mick going into different salons- looking for just the right mousse. Everytime he can't find it he gets all spazzy like he does...

And this? Amuses me.

"West 8th Street and Sixth Avenue..."

Obviously, Mick was having a hot dog or three at Gray's Papaya. Mmmmm...

His other options at that intersection now are a Barnes & Noble, a bagel bakery, Go Sushi, a shuttered FYE, and a cell phone accessories shop.

I'm betting that Mick went with the pink flesh.
