Title: 7 Aug 2015: it's... 1981!!
Post by: CapnJack on August 06, 2015, 10:30:43 PM: No thread as of 10:30pm. Could it be an Outside Lands-related set? Or could it be a "classic", if AL is attending said Festival?

ETA: In any case, I might be able to listen (driving), but I won't be able to post (because I'm driving). Take notes if you can!

Or maybe neither. Turns out we get a completely AL-created 1981 set.

TOTHK: Stones, Hang Fire. One of my faves from Tattoo You.

BOS for Kinks being paranoid all day AND all of the night.

Love the Kinks, not missing this song so much however. Always did get a smile from the way they recycled the "All Day and All of the Night" riff however.

Post by: urth on August 07, 2015, 10:08:47 AM: 3. ~~Billy Idol~~ Generation X - Dancing With Myself

Or is this Generation X?

ETA: Backsell reveals that it was in fact Gen X.

Post by: urth on August 07, 2015, 10:14:29 AM: 4. Squeeze - Is That Love?

Not so many clips today, or maybe it just seems that way after the Jon Stewart-a-thon yesterday.

Post by: urth on August 07, 2015, 10:17:36 AM: 5. Human League - Love Action (I Believe in Love)

Yes, likely a rarity, but not one I can get excited about.

Hoping it's not the only one.

Post by: Davefish on August 07, 2015, 10:20:30 AM: This Happy Birthday song sure sounds rare to me. NTM, and unidentifiable.

Sounds like Siousie Sioux as a tween.

Post by: urth on August 07, 2015, 10:21:49 AM: "Mommy Dearest" clip (No wire hangars...ever!!!) > 6. Altered Images - Happy Birthday

A little better.

Likewise, but probably as much because it's of that time. But def a rarity, if not a first-timer.

A little better.
Interestingly relevant info from Wikipedia about Altered Images:
With additional guitarist Jim McKinven, they recorded their debut album, Happy Birthday (1981), largely produced by Steve Severin of Siouxsie and the Banshees. The band also worked briefly with producer Martin Rushent (who had garnered tremendous success producing The Human League that year), who notably produced the title track, which became the band's third single and their biggest hit.

Clare Grogan, their lead singer, was 19 at the time this was made.

Post by: urth on August 07, 2015, 10:24:21 AM: 7. Depeche Mode - I Just Can't Get Enough

Big ol' dose of synth-pop in today's set.
Title: Re: 7 Aug 2015: it's... 1981!!
Post by: urth on August 07, 2015, 10:33:10 AM: 8. Joan Jett - I Just Wanna Touch
9. Duran Duran - Girls on Film

Had a phone call right as the JJ song was starting, so there could have been another one between these too, but I don't think I was on that long.

I don't think you missed anything.

This Cure song isn't bad for whiny white boys.

ETA: "Primary", it would appear.

Good call on the Generation X ID.

Post by: urth on August 07, 2015, 10:39:22 AM: 10. The Cure - Primary

Pretty synth-heavy set. I can just hear the screams from certain GS denizens now.

10. The Cure - Primary

Pretty synth-heavy set. I can just hear the screams from certain GS denizens now.

some of the GSes (me, included) wanted one more RAWK nugget to appear (Rush, Triumph, BOC were all namechecked) but this set was pretty great for being so laden with FF's. Synthpop is right up my alley. The Cure song put it over the top for me and was my BOS. I would've jettisoned The Kinks song for something Rush, but then again, I often lean that way. :) \m/
