Ginger rules again!  Echo & the Bunnymen, "Bring on the Dancing Horses", BOS and yet another artist Dave eschews for whatever reason.

This set, only 2 songs old, is already more interesting than the one we just heard on the drive...

OMG! BOS2 Mr Palmer's smooth cover of "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On".

Tho' the Cherelle original would be nice to hear sometime.

Seconding the BOS.  It was years before I learned the song was a cover, and I've still never heard the original (nor do I especially need to; Cherelle's voice does even less for me than Stacy Lattislaw's).

BOS3 DS, "Your Latest Trick", the one Tina T turned down.  Mr Knopfler at his most Springsteenian.  "Incident on 57th St" meets "Meeting Across the River".

And now we go back to Brothers In Arms, but Ginger opts for my favorite track, "Your Latest Trick", not that there's anything wrong with the track Bob played.

It was only my heart that got broken,
You musta had a pass-key made out of wax.
You played robbery with insolence,
And I played the blues in twelve bars
down on lovers lane.

took the words right outta my mouth, at the time I had a rather generic liking for them, but unlike a lot of the other mainstream rock acts that came & went in the mid-late 80's, they hold up quite well for me.  I think they might have done better with a different name, though.

Agreed on the name. And as Ginger just mentioned, they did well as songwriters.  Indeed, their lyrics are what hold up (unlike Mr Mister's rather generic let's-appeal-to-mid-America stuff).

and VHM a fine TFF tune.

"The Melodicas" wouldn't have gotten them signed.

I never could decipher some of these TFF lyrics:

"My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air
And dreaming I'm a doctor"

I always thought he said "dreaming I'm adopted".

I dug the coda to "Head Over Heels," made me want to hear the live "Mothers Talk" that I haven't heard since it charted 20 years ago.

Coulda done without Sting's faux-slumming: "What key's it in?" as if they just jammed that way.

Would love to close with Wham!'s "Freedom."

I think I gave a vhm to "Bring on the Night" and made comment about a funny scene in the film.

Pretty sure that was Branford asking for the key, and certainly not Sting.

Yup.

At ABC we had a board-op who worked that summer named Marlena and whenever she walked into the studio we'd sing "Marlena at the boaaaard".

Guess you had to be there...

I SMELL A BREAKOUT!

WOO-HOO!  BOS to the FYC's cover of "Suspicious Minds," a lovely confection (if not quite as stellar as "Johnny Come Home").

Post by: RGMike on March 23, 2006, 09:40:35 AM
Oh. My. GAWD!  FYC's fab cover of "Suspicious Minds". This is ten-way-tie territory, and that RARELY happens in mid-'80s sets.

closest to a Morey Katrina: Bowie/Matheny. But still nice to hear.  Kudos as always to Ginger.  I grovel at her feet.

ETA: and tomorrow -- 1976!
