Rev Al Green "Take Me to the River"
instant BOS!
-
BOS to 1984, which I was jonesing for last week!
-
OMFG! Bowie, "1984" -- haven't heard this in ages. BOS2!
-
Yeppers! And Instant BOS2 to Bowie, showing signs of his leanings to Philly soul with 1984.

Good observation. What album was that on? Aladdin Sane?
-
Ooh! My favorite Stones non-single!
Any chance of a taping of this one?
-
Time Waits for No One
a rare gem

Diamond Dogs, I think. Probably his most overlooked album of that era.

Dude, I am saying right now, after only 3 songs, YOU MUST TAPE FOR US!!!
Pretty please with sugar on top?
-
sublime!
-
'trina! you know you are a 'trina! nothin' but a 'trina!
first non-BOS of set, but I'm in a forgiving mood after that leadoff trifecta.
-
BOS (on headphones): Supertramp Dreamer
-
BOS: ABBA (I'm not too proud to admit I still really like this song...)
-
"the history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself..."

Unfortunately I can't. I have a class tonight that doesn't let out til after 10, so won't be home to press the button til some time after the set starts. I'm no longer set up to do the timer recording thing, and I leave for England on Wednesday, so getting the marathon replay is out for me too. Sorry.

Big f*cking Sledgehammer of Set. I didn't really discover this until is was 14 or 15 (3+ yrs later) but the following lyrics got me through some dark, dark adolescent times:
if I could have something....
if I could be something...
(you can be anything you want boy)
if I could be someone...
(you can be anyone you want to, celebrate boy!)
If I could do something...
(Well you can do something)
If I could do anything...
(Well can you do something out of this world?)
-
Good Year '74!!
Man, I think almost anything by Jethro Tull is still very listenable...
-
BOS for Jethro Tull. A really great, uplifting song. (Though not ALL sweetness and light...)
-
I think I was ranting recently about Traffic, and it also seems like Tull deserves to be remembered more than I think they do. It wouldn't kill KFOG to spin a little JT once in a while.
-
BOS: ABBA (I'm not too proud to admit I still really like this song...)
it remains one of the great pop singles of that era.
-
BOS #5 Tull, another sledgehammer a few years later!
...Looking for a si-ign,
that the Universal mi-ind
has written you into the Passion Play...
...Do you ever get the feelin',
that the story's too damn real & in
the Present
Tense.

BOS: ABBA (I'm not too proud to admit I still really like this song...)
Me neither! The song that put the Eurovision Song Contest on the map in America.
Not so sold on "Dreamer" -- if I want relentless keyboard mania, I'll take Sparks's "This Town's Not Big Enough for the Both of Us," which I only recently discovered -- but the Tull's nice too.
Ooh, and more swirling strings, as we give BOS4 to Eddie Kendricks.
-
VHM Mr Kendricks, bad enuf to make an elephant fly. Or a frying pan.
-
Is there a name for the declining and slightly softening vocal technique that gets echoed by the horns, that goes like:
AAH-a-uh-aah-a-uh-aah-a-uh-aah
Because I really like that, and I think there's a War song that copies it but I can't think of it.
-

Totally with you there, Dude.
-
And everything comes to a screeching halt with Creedence Dirtywater Revulsion.
-
Man, Dave is really plucking my melancholly heartstrings today.
I'd normally find Wet Willie to be a bit of a Katrina, but after the Supertramp & the Tull, this just takes me back.
-

TANC: I was humming that very Sparks song this moring -- brought my "history of new wave" mix tapes to the gym yesterday, and I put that song on one of them. Incorrectly, as it turned out; I only discovered it in the early '80s and was unaware it had been around since '74.
-
BOS5 to "You're No Good," though I associate it with '75. TANC: I just heard the Betty Everett original at the Cowgirl Hall of Fame restaurant over brunch yesterday.
-
OMFG#2 and BOS # whatever to Ms Ronstadt --wasn't I just bemoaning her lack of airplay from Dave?
-
flashback to last Wed onthe Drvie, when Mike wrote
another BOS to Ms Ronstadt's "You're No Good", the single that (finally) broke her career wide open.
-
yet another BOS Bobby W!
Lookin for a Mondegreen:
"With lots of hugs and kisses
And people under ten."
-
Proxy of Cairo for Bobby Wo?
-
Everything sounds good. Listening but no time to post.
Happy Monday!
-

And still more strings, in the coda of the Ronstadt tune. Damn fine set. Damn fine.

Sparks is on my New Wave Progenitors tape, with the likes of Bowie, Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel...

If y'all find yourselves with time to kill (and broadband access), go to YouTube.com and search for Sparks videos. Between TTABEFTBUU and "Mickey Mouse" on SNL, one has to think that Thanksgiving dinner at the Mael household would be the Most Interesting Day Ever.

the post-set set gives us both Gnarls Barkley AND that damn "Cash Machine" song, which tells you how often they're getting played per day.

still waiting for the bonus -- Foghead contestant admits: "I'm one of those guys who dials before you even ask the question..." And so he doesn't have a f---ing clue what the answer is.

Bonus: Todo da bien Chevrolet!

Well, what a crappy day for a 2 hour meeting that started at 9. BOS for pretty much everything 'cept Supertramp and ABBA. Special Favorite song covered by J. Geils award goes to B. Womack. Though their cover of Waterloo kicks butt too. :? :o :roll:

flashback to last Wed onthe Drvie, when Mike wrote
another BOS to Ms Ronstadt's "You're No Good", the single that (finally) broke her career wide open.
And I meant to mention then that the album YNG is from, Heart Like a Wheel, is one of the great "OMG did we get lucky" stories in music history. Ronstadt had left Capitol (where, as a leftover from her Stone Poneys days, she made several LPs with marginal success) and signed with Asylum. Her first Asylum LP, Don't Cry Now had been released in late '73. But it turned out she owed Capitol one more album -- which turned out to be HLAW, which, thanks to 2 huge singles, made her a big star and sold 2 million copies.
