I sent Dave a last-minute request for How Do You Sleep, but I'm not making any financial commitments if it turns up. I'd also love to hear Mother, probably a little more likely than any of the three above. But only a little.

Still in mourning for James here, and now this set is bringing back the very similar emotions I felt in December 1980.

BOS "Across the Universe".

I thought for sure Dave did a Lennon set last year for the 25th anniv, but instead he did a date-specific 1980 set that didn't include John.

Quote
Steely Dan - Hey 19
Doobie Brothers - Real Love
John Mellencamp - This Time
Rockpile - Teacher Teacher
Diana Ross - I'm Comin' Out
Devo - Whip It (Best of Set!)
Police - De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
Donna Summer - The Wanderer
Robert Palmer - Looking For Clues
Blondie - The Tide is High
BONUS TRACK: Alan Parsons Project - Games People Play


BOS2 "Love".

Preemptive 10-way tie for Best of Set. I don't even want to try to quantify one Lennon tune better than nine others.

I phoned in for the loveliest set of the week. LSOW? Nah.
This is hitting just the right spot.

CHIRST, you know it ain't easy -- remember the outcry when this came out? And that was long before FAUX News and the right-wing blogosphere.

I just IM'd the above to Dave, and he came back to say that we may have our first-ever 10-way tie. He says EVERYONE is voting that way.

What's the title of this lovely lullaby-like beautiful daughter song?

Actually it's called Beautiful Boy--John wrote it for Sean--as the last line just mentioned by name. It's on Double Fantasy.

My God. The a cappella Because from Anthology. This is giving me serious chills.

And so this is Christmas. And what have you done, Messrs. Bush & Cheney?  War is over -- if you want it.

Crap. An inconveniently timed impromptu staff meeting took place around my cube about halfway thru Happy Xmas, so I missed the end of that and the backsell (I assume that was tune #10?). Did the 10-way tie actually happen? I have to catch the replay tonight, no fail.

"In My Life" squeaked by as the "winner", tho' it sounds like Dave only did that so Big Rick would have one song to play this afternoon.

Lennon's Double Fantasy was the 1st album I ever purchase. At the time, I didn't know who the Beatles were. To me Paul McCartney was part of Wings. It wasn't until Lennon's death that first knew who the Beatles were but I was only 12 when Lennon died.

You're going to love how it sounds on the new Beatles remix album Love.  I heard it this week at the Voice (thank ye gods for iTunes shared directories and generous editors): "mash-up" is too drastic a term for what George Martin et al have done.  More like medleys that uncover unexpected linkages between unrelated (and might-as-well-be-era-spanning) tracks.  A more noble effort than I'd anticipated.

I'm roughly your age but was fortunate to have an uncle who anticipated by the time I was 5 that I'd be a Beatles fan, and bought me the 1967-1970 anthology on cassette.  What that ripple in a stream did for me.  So I knew who John Lennon was when I got the news Tuesday morning (I'd already gone to bed Monday night) - a bittersweet story I've told here in years past.  John's is the first death I specifically remember - not Elvis's, surprisingly.

Funnily, I'm not sure if I knew who Wings were at that point.  I knew "Silly Love Songs" and maybe one or two others, but only as songs, not connected to an artist.

Does it make me a bad person that I cannot hear the ending to that song without thinking, "Julian hates you so much right now"?

I played some Lennon for some of my students today.  Some of them appreciated it, some of them didn't see the point.  They've heard the word "Beatles" but only some of them know some of the music.
