a-Ha! and cue the Huey Lewis! or Godley & Creme. or Bowie/Metheny...

BOS Ms Bush. May be the best we get unless Dave has a breakout up his sleeve.

Hmmm, what's this song after Runnin' Up That Hill? It has a distinct mid-80s Peter Gabriel-esque piano/drum sound but I don't think it's PG.
Oh, it's TFF. Bustout?

Funny you should ask. I have completed my Darryl archive spreadsheet, and so can tell you that there have been precisely 25 sets from 1985 recorded, and this song, "The Working Hour" has appeared in 3 previous ones, the last being about a week prior to this past Thanksgiving.
ETA: "Runnin' Up That Hill" was also in thrice previously & "Take On Me" 4 times. One other Kate song showed up once & two other TFF songs showed up a total of 8 times (7 for "...Rule the World" & surprisingly only once for "Head Over Heels").

"Who d'you think you are? the Lone Ranger"? BOS2 B.A.D.

As y'all may have noticed, I ALWAYS give this a BOS, certainly one of my fave '85 albums.

Per the IM thingy, we have an opportunity to Spot the Vinyl today. No guesses yet.
-
VHM Annie & Dave, "Ball & Chain", tho' I'd've preferred "There Must be an Angel".
-
Hey Mark, did you by chance call in to the morning show this am when they were talking about the escalating gas prices, the oil companies, and what should be done?
-
3 seems to be the magic number today, as each song after a-ha shows up 3 times in the archive. Interestingly, Dave's intern has come up with a different variation on the title of this Eurhymics tune each time:
(Love You Like A) Ball and Chain
I Love You Like a Ball & Chain
Love You Like a Ball and Chain

I dunno, I'm getting a pretty nifty left-right pan effect from this one. Might be worthy of a BOS vote, just based on that.
-

Nope, I had my car stereo ripped out back in Feb,and since then just listen to my Zen (iPod clone) while driving. So no more listening to the Morning Show.
Here's your Vinyl & a BOS! Phantom Rocker & Slick.

I don't get as many opportunities to listen on headphones to radio, so yesterday when I was sneaking a listen to Magic Man, I really noticed the cool panning and stereo overdubbing in my earplugs.

Bummer about your car stereo.
And I was thinking the same thing about PR&S being the vinyl--I think it's been a STV contestant before.

BOS #3 to JCM, "Rain on the Scarecrow". We got this last month for the first time in a long time, (and I wrote a missive about my uncle), so I'll wait until Dave plays it at least one more time this year before I complain.

Ditto on the Scarecrow. I never tire of this brilliant LP.
and a BOS to the Hooters -- tho' I recall this being played in some '85 set recently.
-
...cue the Huey Lewis! or Godley & Creme. or Bowie/Metheny...
missed them so far, but I mostly hope we can dodge Cockrobin.
fwiw, the 2 biggest Katrinas in my sample are "Power of Love" & the aforementioned "Everybody Wants To Rule the World", at 7 out of 25.
-
Don't think I've heard this Marshall Crenshaw tune before. Not bad, not great.
-
BOS2 to Marshall Crenshaw--and this is feeling like Tune #10, so we might have dodged all the usual suspects. Not too bad a set for '85.
ETA: So what's your database tell us about the Crenshaw tune, Mark? Again, not one I can recall hearing.
D'OH!!!! It's f***in' Huey!

That's what we get for opening our big yaps, virtually speaking.

Marshall is officially a 1985 bust-out, and to balance his Karma Dave elevates Huey into undisputed Katrina of the year.
btw, we got back to back '85 sets from Bob & Ginger last month, Bob gave us Mr. Mister & Ginger gave us this Hooters tune & we discussed their relative/comparative merits. But Dave hasn't played "And We Danced" since last July.

I have completed my Darryl archive spreadsheet
Mshray, mshray on the wall,
What is the biggest Katrina of all?
(Or should we lay bets first?)
-
Yay! Bonus coulda been Godley & Creme or SRV, but Foghead chooses... Waterboys, "Whole of the Moon"!!! One of my favorite lyrics of all time.

I have a cold, so I guess you didn't recognize my voice! Especially funny that Urth thought he heard me earlier when it wasn't me.
I actually tried to get her to play "Let's Go All The Way" but she wasn't familiar with it, and then she did some real fast editing for the playback of my call.

Do either of you know the original quote I was parodying, and how it became infamous in NYC in the late '70s?

Oh, y'alls should definitely lay bets. But one thing I noticed is that Dave isn't real consistent about his years, f'rinstance one song show up 8 times in '84 and then twice more in '83.
But then again Huey is now nearly twice the Katrina in '85 that Katrina herself is.

There was a popular TV weather guy in NY -- "Tex" Antoine, a legend in the biz, he'd been doing weather, at that point, for 20 years -- and one night during the late news in (I think) 1977, they did a story about a rapist on the loose. "Tex" followed with the weather, and he started by saying "Confucius say, if rape is inevitable, lie back and enjoy it". He actually thought that was funny. He never worked again.

I'd heard the essence of the quote, sans the Confucius, attributed to Bobby Knight, I think during the '80s.

But then again Huey is now nearly twice the Katrina in '85 that Katrina herself is.
I believe that the five ultimate Katrinas will prove to be, in order:
1. FYC, "Good Thing"
2. Huey Lewis & the News, "The Power of Love"
3. Neville Bros, "Yellow Moon"
4. Robbie Nevil, "C'est la Beej"
5. Cock Throbbin', "When Your Flow Is Weak"
-
Huey is now nearly twice the Katrina in '85 that Katrina herself is.
So maybe we should start calling them "Hueys"... or "P.O.L.s"
