1 November 2006--it's...1976!!
« on: November 01, 2006, 09:55:52 AM »
...gonna be an early set. Backsell for the final set of the morning show ended at 9:52.

The skew toward the 70s continues...not that I'm complaining.

BOS1 Sweet!

Kinda sounds like what Cheap Trick was aiming for.

Definitely JJ.  EvilLyrics found "she don't lie" which is what it sounds like to me, though I don't really get it.

From glam rock to yacht rock via cocaine--sounds like '76 to me!

and yeah, I think that was the JJ Cale version of Cocaine--Clapton's didn't come out 'til 77, iirc.

VHM Phoebe's "No Regrets", tho' methinks it's creeping towards Katrinadom.

The nice thing about J.J. Cale’s ”Cocaine” is that the lyrics are so strongly secondary to the sound of the song that their fractured linearity becomes an asset. If you want it to be an anti-drug song for you, it can be that. For most people, though, the attraction to the song is the driving guitar hook, and that’s true whether you’re enjoying Cale’s 1976 original version, or any of Eric Clapton’s several covers. Clapton’s studio version of ”Cocaine” off his 1977 solo album Slowhand is among his most enduringly popular hits. In concerts, Clapton often performed the song by beginning with a slow-developing, improvised-sounding guitar lead, building to the dramatic power riffs that open the familiar tune. Even for an artist like Clapton with a huge body of high-quality work, ”Cocaine” ranks among his best.

I usually like Tavares, but I was unmoved by it today.  Seemed really generic.  Buuuuuut, nice segue into "Don't Take Me Alive".  A fabulous opening chord.
