BOS the Kings!
gotta find a way outta this hole, y'know? Outta this HOLE!

BOS the Kings!
The quintessential one-hit wonder. Unpack your Farfisa and let's rock!!!
And BOS2, Once in a Lifetime.
No sign of vinyl so far.

and not even that big a hit, technically -- like many fondly-remembered New Wave hits of the time, it never made the Top 40.

Really? I wouldn't have guessed--it got a good bit of airplay out here, at least among the crowd I was hanging with.
Quite the proto-New Wave set we've got going here today. What's next--Games Without Frontiers?

is "Cars" an official Katrina? (actually, "Switchin' to Glide" may be one too)

I swear I have a tape somewhere where The Kings twin-spin segues straight into this Heads tune. Felt like weird deja vu there for a second.
Woo hoooo!
Feel that beat & we can ride the boogie...!

it was a big "turntable hit" in NYC as well, as was the Romantics' "What I like About You" -- another beloved tune that failed to crack the Top 40.
BOS MJ, "Rock With You"!

Pulling Muscles for Michele, BOS2

Pulling Muscles for Michele, BOS2
i should really look up the lyrics for this one day. i've been singing it phonetically for years...
...ok, i did it.
They do it down on camber sands
They do it at Waikiki
Lazing about the beach all day,
At night the crickets creepy
Squinting faces at the sky
A Harold Robbins paperback
Surfers drop their boards and dry
And everybody wants a hat
But behind the Chalet
My holiday's complete
And I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet
Pulling mussels from a shell
Shrinking in the sea so cold
Topless ladies look away
A he-man in a sudden shower
Shelters from the rain
You wish you had a motor boat
To pose around the harbour bar
And when the sun goes off to bed
You hook it up behind the car
Two fat ladies window shop
Something for the mantelpiece
In for bingo all the nines
A panda for sweet little niece
The coach drivers stand about
Looking at a local map
About the boy he's gone away
Down to next door's caravan
-
VHM the Bush Cheney theme, "Bombs away ... but we're OK"
-
is "Cars" an official Katrina? (actually, "Switchin' to Glide" may be one too)
Interesting comparisons here:
Gary Numan is a borderline Katrina & certainly a Usual Suspect, we've heard it pretty much exactly twice a year for 4 years.
The Kings are pretty much good for one appearance per annum.
That Squeeze tune, unexpectedly, gets far more airplay in regular KFOG rotation than from Dave, with only one previous appearance in the Db.

Guerrilla girl, young and sweet....

Beeelions and beelions of BOS for Cosmos.
-
WTF!? Holeee SHIT!!
BOS Carl Sagan, who is himself 'lost between immensity and eternity'.
-
was that sagan?
wow. vhm (if not bos) to chris gifford!
-
Beeelions and beelions of BOS for Cosmos.
And what an AWESOME segue into Christopher Cross, at least for me. This was every great slow dance of my freshman year at college.
"...it's not far to Never Never Land..."

OMGWTF Christopher Cross! Yacht Rock at its most... yachtty!
-

...er, geppert. not to be confused with difford.

OMGWTF Christopher Cross! Yacht Rock at its most... yachtty!
Dave hasn't played this for 3 1/2 years, so it's unlikely I've heard it since then.
"...if the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity. Oh, the candles can do miracles, just you wait and see..."
-
BOS #4! Mark Knopfler & Roy Bittan battling it out on this track.

But we heard it somewhere recently, no? Bob? Ginger? KCDX?
BOS4 "Solid Rock".

I'm kind stumped in the spot the vinyl derby today--Chris Cross is my best guess?
-
ooo! BOS5 the Purple One. MJ and Prince in the same set -- doesn't happen often!
sure the Kings weren't the vinyl?
-

I bet it's yet to come.
Hey, please archive this one, Prince clinches it as one the best 1980 sets in Dave's oevre.

That's my best guess so far, another holdover in my limited vinyl collection.
For those looking for the MP3 of the Kings, I can oblige, or it's available on Sedated In The 80's either vol. 2 or 3.
-
Woo Hoo again, BOS # whatever, "Fashion"!!!
There's a brand new talk but it's not very clear...the people from good homes are talking this year...
-
BOS6 "Fashion" -- I agree with Mark, one of Dave's best 1980 sets in some time.

Will try, it'll depend on if I go to yoga tonight or not.

You were right & I was not. Good job!

BOS6 "Fashion" -- I agree with Mark, one of Dave's best 1980 sets in some time.
Listening to Fashion, I just noticed there's this electonic pulse that continues throughout the track, but it's not in the same tempo as the rest of the song--it kinda weaves in and out between the beat for the entire song. Very interestingly constructed tune, with the various harmonies on the "do do do do do do do do" part and Fripp's buzzsaw guitar.
-
Sorry, Annalisa, I really didn't need "Generals & Majors" today. One of the rare cases where the set is superior to the bonus.

OK set. I take a pass on hits 5-7.

Don't pass on Christopher Cross, there's a great Carl Sagan Cosmos lead-in

Still waiting for next steps on the good chance I mentioned a few days ago. Got a separate interview tomorrow, for something that I probably wouldn't do unless they gave me the $200k District Manager position, and that seems doubtful at best. I'm treating it like interview practice.

OK, I'm still here and it's good.
Bombs Away was also cool. I would not have known it was Police who I try to avoid, then and now.
-
wooo hooo Solid Rock.
LOVE this guitar work. Well, you know, pretty much anything Knopfler does.
-
I'm listening from afar now. It's a stiff-ass-funk-dance-a-thon! (And I mean that with loving kindness.)
I don't think I ever caught this line in "I Wanna Be Your Lover" until tonight:
"I wanna be the only one you come for."
Now that's some stiff-ass-funk!

I still take a pass on C. Cross. He's way too soft. Heck, its pretty close to soft enough to really be played in 1980 on KFOG when it was elevator music and I used to fall asleep every time my mother would put KFOG on during this period (thankfully she moved up to light rock a few years later).
-
I don't think I ever caught this line in "I Wanna Be Your Lover" until tonight:
"I wanna be the only one you come for."
I also find that hard to believe -- it was pretty much the most famous thing about the song when it was a hit back in those pre-Nipplegate FCC days.
Note that he precedes it (and partially neuters it) with "I wanna be the one who makes you come... runnin'".

Prince wasn't getting airplay in Seattle until 1982, I don't think. Anyway that's my excuse & I'm sticking to it.

Same was true of Prince in Pittsburgh; for all I knew, "1999" was his debut single.

This is quite interesting; it was Top Ten in NY and even notoriously conservative WABC played it (uncensored).

Either we had a bunch of long sets this week or they started the marathon at 7:30 rather than 7 (not unheard of). It's 10 after 11 and there's still three songs to go in the last set. Good array of songs this week, which is particularly remarkable considering that last week was well above par, too. Like Mark & Ali, I woke up during the '75 set, then heard most of the '77 and '80 sets. Had hoped to hear yesterday's 1970 set again, but as seems to be the norm, the Friday set probably led off the marathon.

Actually I woke up at 7:00, left the house at 8:15 & got to the office in the middle of the '75 set. Working on a Saturday because the CEO & my least favorite of his underlings are showing up tomorrow night. So I got some reports to wrap up, etc.

Believe it or not, '85 was first (start time around 7:10) followed by70-75-77-80. The sets were a bit longer this week -- closer to 45+ min than the usual 40 or less. Of course, I was in bed for the first 2, drifting in & out of consciousness.
