Title: 23 May 2014: it's... 1980
Post by: RGMike on May 23, 2014, 07:31:34 AM
no clues posted; I'm wondering if we're getting one of those generic "let's kick off the holiday weekend" kinda sets.

Renee played "Holiday Road" at 6am which was quite a nice surprise.

BTW, I note that June has a Friday the 13th... but it's also the friday before Father's Day. Daddy songs from hell?  Paging Wayne Newton...

Should I do another "hits from hell" set? If so, should I take requests?  ;D

Elvis was famously critical of her take but it probably made him a lot more money than his and Edmunds' versions combined.  I'd've preferred she followed it with some actual Costello instead of this NRBQ Moreytrina.

Perhaps you're thinking of Bonnie Raitt's cover? Dave only ever played Get That Gasoline Blues and A Little Bit of Bad from the NRBQ catalog.

as a bicyclist I officially must hate on this Gary Numan song, but it kicks ass!

saw Gary Numan last month at the Fillmore and it was a FANTASTIC show.  His new album -- yes he is still making music -- channels dark synth goth, a la NIN, but when he trotted out Cars and Are 'Friends' Electric?, all the awesomeness of the elder statesmen of 80s new wave was back in full force.

Turning Japanese, I heard this not 40 mins ago on Oldies 103.7 -- or maybe it was kfox.

this is the stuff I was listening to back then.  :)

me mind is playing tricks on me. AL has surely played it before. And yeah, the Bonnie version has also been spun.

I'd say the 1985 set was weaker, but YMMV.  This one coulda used a couple more rarities, certainly.

I think this set would have been improved with more synths...

Thursday's 1973 set was okay, but otherwise I did not think much of the shows this week.  Maybe
it's just me, but I haven't even been motivated enough to comment on them.  Oh well...
