"All You Zombies" followed by Reagan's blatherings. Nice.
-
BOS for excellent early REM.
-
BOS to "Can't Get There From Here," from the days when R.E.M. were still engaging with their world instead of sending notes from a bubble.

in my deleted thread I asked "Who'd'a thunk the Hooters stuff would hold up so well?" This is sounding quite good today.
Any ancient history majors who can explain who/what/where "Philomath" was?

BOS REM "Can't Get There From Here"
..and the rest of Dr. Emmett Brown's line: "Ronald Ragan!? The actor!? So who's Vice President? Jerry Lewis?"
Which always make me think that Jerry would have been a far better President than Reagan.

Pedant On Patrol: The elder members of the group would prefer "ancient-history majors," I should suppose. :wink:

Christ, the chimp from Bedtime for Bonzo would have been a far better President than Reagan.

Kate Bush? Damn! BOS for breakout status alone.

from a breakout to a Katrina: Prince and Appollonia 12, "Take Me Witchoo"

I liked New Coke just fine, fwiw. Then again, I also quite enjoyed Crystal Pepsi, Josta, New York Seltzer, and OK Cola, among a host of other failed beverages.

which of course was the point: New Coke was supposed to taste like Pepsi, and it did.

Isn't this solo BF?

What the heck is this "Little Sherry" song? It sounds like a Todd Rundgren song and arrangement with someone else singing.
-
WOS, Worst of Week, Worst of Month: "The Heat Is On." Insultingly dumb.

I thought I was hearing Paul Carrack, but it's wholly unfamiliar to me.

the heat is on, and so is Gaz's WOS.
Flashback: I saw Bev Hills Cop in Charleston WV, where I was spending 2 days working on an ABC news remote. It was the first time I ever saw movie theater nachos and cupholders in seats, which took at least another year to make their way to NYC.

If I had a rocket launcher, some son-of-a-Katrina would pay.

Good one.
"Eyes" by the Tubes? Never never never would have guessed. But maybe Todd produced it? Have to check.
The AMG review of Love Bomb, whence comes "Eyes".
They got the bomb part right, but the band's heart wasn't in it anymore (even the cover art, once a source of pride, was lame). Dressed up like new romantics on the back cover, coerced into collaborating with producer Todd Rundgren (his second stint with the band), where were The Tubes headed? Were they the party band of Outside Inside, delivering funky confections like "Love Bomb," "Night People," and "Say Hey"? Utopia clones, kneeling at the producer's shrine for "Come As You Are" and "For a Song"? Faceless studio rockers cranking out radio-ready product like "One Good Reason" and "Stella"? There's a lesson here about getting in bed with commercial music: You have to perform even when you're not in the mood. Love Bomb still manages to deliver a couple of decent songs: the by-now obligatory opening single, "Piece By Piece," and the awfully catchy "Eyes." For anyone keeping track, that's two more good songs than you'll find on Fee Waybill's solo album from the previous year, but less than you'll find on any other Tubes record. And so a band that, in 1975, seemed poised to help change the shape of popular music had finally rendered itself irrelevant.
So there.
