I'm not using the player, but there's no trouble with the stream on Winamp.  It's 1986.

Nope, but as usual, I'm going old-school with the over-the-airwaves signal. But since we're hearing 86 today, I'm guessing you guys are all off to PDX to guess the theme. Have a McMenamins for me while you're up there, eh?

Paging the great Gazoo--it's the epic and insipid KBC Band with their ode to America. I dig the message, but the song just doesn't get it for me.

I always like the vocal harmonies when K&B get together.

Now we're hearing something in German that sounds a lot like Falco, but isn't Der Kommisar (obviously)--Vienna Calling maybe?

We're playing Spot the Vinyl today, btw. Thinking this could be it.

ETA: Yep, per the Top 40 db, that's the artist and the name of the tune. Never heard before.

Wow, that's either a breakout or an extreme rarity.

Yep, I was thinking it was Falco when the song said, "the pride of Vienna, our own 'Falco'!".  I don't think I've heard it before -- I kinda like it.

Yeah, that kinda tore it for me, too, but I'd made my guess before that point in the song.

And DM said the KBC tune was today's vinyl track.

I have!  Major kudos to Dave for that one.

(fwiw I think I cracked Inessa's theme over on the other thread).

I called in my vote, and Dave was a bit chattier than usual (which probably means the phone lines weren't exactly burning up).  But the vinyl was the KBC Band.

One last BOS vote for Gene Loves Jezebel, which Dave plays about once/year.  Great song IMHO.

"Desire" - or, as they actually sing it, De-sigh-air-air

I wish he'd play their "Motion of Love" sometime.

Too weird: I was just reviewing a song called "America" this week for the Stylus Singles Jukebox and it got me thinking about the KBC song, which I haven't heard in several years (I have the album, but it's really limp; only "Mariel" is really salvageable amidst Kantner's grumblings).

1.  Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls  
2.  Level 42 - Something About You (BEST OF SET!!)  
3.  Steve Winwood - Freedom Overspill  
4.  KBC Band - America  
5.  Falco - Vienna Calling  
6.  Mike & the Mechanics - All I Need is a Miracle  
7.  John Cougar Mellencamp - Rumble Seat  
8.  Robert Cray - Nothin' But a Woman  
9.  Sting - Russians  
10.  Gene Loves Jezebel - Desire (Come & Get it)  
 
BONUS TRACK:  Talking Heads - Wild Wild Life
 
MOVIE: Blue Velvet


Wow, both Dave and Inessa played the same Level 42 song for completely different reasons!

That's actually a very decent '86 set from Dave, I look forward to the replay tonight, esp the Winwood, which we used to call "Semen Overspill".

I predictably disagree.  I find the song quite inspiring, and need to dig up the CD so I can add the MP3 to my  iTunes.  And yes, Mariel is very good.  It's different for me too because of age, and I was professionally involved with K, C, and the guitar player (Slick) at the time.  Crank it!

Slick Aguilar, if memory serves. Don't know what else he did.

Very little else AFAIK.  He still tours with the Jefferson Whatever machine.
