Steve Perry mimicry on this Santana cut.  Would like to hear their "Say It Again" in some 1985 set someday.

I saw a license plate yesterday -- not a bumper sticker, mind you, but a vanity plate -- that said:  W LIES

I also saw a bumper sticker that said "Save a Tree -- Remove a Bush"

I'm sure Gaz will join me in honoring Rod the Mod with a VHM.  His '80s output of enjoyable, radio-friendly singles was actually a good period for him (especially considering what followed).

I'm on the other side of the fence completely.  I turned up Sushi Girl (offensive as it may be, but turned down Young Turks.  I like the Tubes, and my RA/Hero/Tenor Sax Buddy played The Completion Backwards Principle a lot in 1981.  So there.

Your Private-Eyed Kiss is on my List!  Shameless soundalike follow-up but a delight anyway. BOS

Around this time a friend who lived on the Upper West Side was in some boutique on Columbus Ave and Daryl Hall came in.

"He didn't just walk in -- he PRANCED!" she said.

1.  Squeeze - Is That Love?
2.  Santana - Primera Invasion/Searchin'  
3.  Tubes - Sushi Girl (BEST OF SET!!)  
4.  Rod Stewart - Young Turks  
5.  Hall & Oates - Private Eyes

7.  Rush - Tom Sawyer  
8.  Pretenders - Message of Love

That right there was the hardest part of entering the data in my 10@10 Db. I can use excel quite proficiently to split up, concatenate, splice left or right etc.  But the GIGO rule still applies.  Excel can't see that JJ Cale is the same as J.J. Cale which is the same as J. J. Cale, or that EWF is the same as EW & F is the same as Earth Wind & Fire is the same as Earth, Wind & Fire (cf. BTO, CCR, CSN, ELO, ELP, ad infinitum).  And the intern has apparently even less of a clue.  

And I could go on far too long about capitalization.  As jsut one example, suffice to say that I became really frustrated that the intern seems to think that every two-letter word beginning with 'i' is a preposition & thus not to be capitalized (is, if, it).

I kinda get hung up on the slavish copying of the Dire Straits sound in this one.  Carlos' "Winning" gives me the same vibe.

I'm considering loading the spreadsheet into SQL Server, where I can manipulate it better.  I've done enough data cleanup that I could whip that puppy into shape pretty quickly (there's not THAT much data -- you could probably hand edit it faster than I can write the scripts to do it).

Which puts the intern in line with 90% of Americans.  Paste magazine commits this error all the time; it's the most poorly copy edited magazine I've ever seen.  Apparently they think no one cares.  And they might be right.
