It's funny but "Cruel to be Kind" just makes me think of High School... even though I was out of college by the time this came out.

I know it's a Katrina but I'm still a sucker for Cruel to be Kind. Can't help it.

And in the TANC column, I was doing some research on Wales last night (we're going there next month) and found that Ian Gomm has been living there for like 20 years. And that he cowrote this song with Nick. Ya learn something every day.

BOS Third World, not everyone knows this is an O'Jays cover.

Yesterday Judge on KPOO played them covering James Brown's "Talkin' Loud & Sayin' Nuthin""

So this post-Floyd tune could be Styx--or it could be one of those Canadian semi-prog bands that came after Rush like Triumph. Betting it's the latter.

ETA: Per the Top 40 Hits site, there were two songs called Hold On that charted in '79--Ian Gomm's (TANC pt. II) and this one. And yeah, it's Triumph.

Which brings up the question: will we get the Hold On twin-spin?

Nah.

Made me flash back to Animal House, where a very young Kevin Bacon is trying to keep the peace in the climactic mayhem of the final scene.

Thank you sir, may I have another.

I believe it is, and I was just thinking, "this singer sounds like 'Geddy Lee Lite'"

I forget who does this disco "Harmony" song -- a Narada, for sure, I don't remember hearing it back in the day, and I was pretty tuned into the genre.

So instead we get the Rockpile twin-spin. Gaz must be grinding his teeth right about now.

BUT: Dave Edmunds--also a Welshman.

"Girls Talk" doesn't bother me nearly so much as the others, and I rather like "Cruel to Be Kind."  I think I just have a reflexive aversion to rockabilly that is occasionally offset by Lowe's poppier instincts.

Sorry I missed the set while "Drivin'" to Sacto, but y'all should know that I picked up a used, out of print copy of Ian Dury's greatest hits on University Ave in Seattle last Tues.

I don't see any comments about this.  I've got a cold, and was napping during this, but jeez, the guitar licks in this tune are pretty hot if you ask me!
