"TOTHC of a Diver".

HM to Billy Squier's "In the Dark." Would like more of him all around. Ahem.

so you'd like to be In The Dark with Mr Squier? I'll HM too, tho' it's no "The Stroke".
Police "Spirits" -- for the 2nd time this week, iirc.

indeed, just checked -- Rob played this and the Winwood on Mon.

BOS H&O, discovering a formula and unashamedly reveling in it with "Private Eyes".
-
one of the most overplayed rock tracks of the '80s: "Under Pressure". Sending this one out to Vanilla Ice -- Word to ya mother!
-
"Life of Illusion", another one I'd be happy to see mothballed for a year or 2.
VHM Mean Joe Greene. "A Coke and a smile!"
-
god help me, this cheezy Journey track actually sounds kinda good to me this morning.

I have been on a big Joe Walsh kick lately, so I was loving that. In particular because it resonated with me on how I keep reporting to duty at all these places where my heart just isn't into it anymore.

Phunky Phil's "In the Air Tonite", on its first, pre-Vice go-round.

This was the last Steve Perry/Jonathan Cain track that I liked, but I too still like it a lot. In fact it's the only Steve Perry vocal after "Wheel In the Sky" that I can stil get behind.
But Phil Collins, I'd still like his percussion on this song (remembering when it was novel) if it weren't A) overplayed on every format of the radio today, and B) if his vocals didn't sound like the second-most-tortured after only Michael Bolton. And of all the songs about a which a controversy of interpretation swirls, this is by far the least deserving in my book.

for years I couldn't tell if this was "Tube Snake Boogie" or "Tubesteak Boogie".

Ha Ha!!! Me neither, glad to not be the only one.
"Blow-your-top! Blow-your-top!"

"I feel so dirty when the start talking cute."
BOS for Dr. Noah Drake, just because.
-
Bob pulls a Morey and gives us "Jessies Girl".
It's funny -- I brought a "Great Pop Singles of the '80s" tape to the gym the other day... I made it in 1990, and it has its share of what are now Katrinas (long before I knew what a Katrina was, obviously) like Tracey U, Crowded House and K & the Waves, along with I-wish-we'd-hear-this-occasionally hits by Sly Fox and Lisa Lisa. And "Jessies" is on it too, and divorced from the 10@10 context, everything sounded wonderful. Funny how that works.

I don't think we covered that in our discussion of that Inessa set last week -- what is the "controversy"?

There's an urban legend about whom Colins is addressing when he sings "I was there & I saw what you did..." The version I heard (aside to Gaz, I got this orginally from our Schwabbie friend Scott Emerson when we were camping several years ago) is that one of Collins' childhood friends drowned right in front of Collins & a group of kids, and nearby was another kid, who was the only one close enough to have done something, but who just stood there and let Collins' friend drown. This has since been debunked, but it was a pervasive urban legend from what I have been told.

tomorrow 1970: dunno if we'll get to hear that, as the "Thursday Portrait" is CSNY -- if they're playing them solo as well as together, the Digital Copyright Act may not kick in.

The tale's been told in many variants -- snopes.com is a good source for the full history, as they are for pretty much any urban legend. Eminem makes an allusion to it in one of his recent songs, though I forget which one (most of his tracks start to sound alike through my history lens).
PS: I should also add that hip-hoppers fell in love with the drum sound on this and several have cited his production of them in interviews in recent years (I forget exactly who, though -- maybe Ghostface Killah of Wu-Tang?).
