TOTHK - The Kings "This Beat Goes On/Switchin' To Glide"

Another quintessential "Monday" song -- Nothing matters but the weekend, from a Monday Tuesday point of view.

Btw, there was a brief Empire Strikes Back clip that led into this.

ETA: OK, the lyric is "Tuesday POV" but the sentiment is the same. :)

Macca/Wings "Coming Up (Live in Glasgow)"

Sounds like a cross between Talking Heads and Squeeze. Fun tune.

Cars from Panorama?

ETA: Yup, not only a lesser-known album from them, but a non-single as well, Up and Down. She's come out swinging today.

Someone on FB just used the old knife in the teeth and set on fire clichés.

Oh, that was me.

Holeee crap -- a bustout that I've requested multiple times. Impressive. This, the Cars tune and "Dirty Mind" balance out the uber-FF-ness of The Vapors and Bowie. I'm thinking the McCartney is relatively rare but I'll have to check.

I wonder if AL is "cleaning out" her request lists the past few weeks (no request post for the past few Mondays and a Friday a couple of weeks ago).

I can't blame her for not wanting to post every night, though it might just be coincidence. But it does prove that she really does keep a list of all the requests and ya never know when an old one might pop up.

Not sure what kinda airplay "When I Dream" got in SF; it was very big on NYC prog-FM, which was awash in New Wave One-Hit-Wonders in the early '80s (before "alternative" arrived as a format in '82).  Some folks in 'snipe-land had never heard it before.
