Title: 10 July 2014: it's... 1979
Post by: RGMike on July 09, 2014, 08:31:22 PM

I'd've bet money on a '90s year. But the thread is up.

Not their best album but far from their worst, too. And they were at the peak of their popularity in 79. I saw 'em that year; bet a number of us did.

We did just get Hangin' On the Telephone in our last '78 set, on June 17 (hmmm, seems like it was more recent than that).

And yet again, it was Casey Kasem doing the voice-over on that NBC clip. He was everywhere back then.

it's a Jerk thang today.  Oy, Gloria Gaynor. Truly a song I never need to hear again.  uber-uber-LN, but other than having played "Dreaming" in consecutive '79 sets, AL's doing well today.

Is JJ an LN?  Kinda -- something other than the hit from this fab LP would been nice.

"It's over already?" asks AL. Yup, under 40 minutes.

ETA: She could have gone over 40 if she played the LOOOOOONG version of "I Will Survive"

thank heaven for small favors.  ;)  I guess it played into the theme she was constructing but a less-overexposed disco nugget woulda been divine.

Thursday, July 10, 2014: Dreamin' in...1979!!

Ugh.  This week's 1982 set may have been lackluster, but I found large parts of today's show
completely off-putting.  When a 1976 set is shaping up to be the second-best of the week, it's
a sign of how dismal the situation is.
