i'm bored. but this reminds me: there's a new jazz cover of this tears4fears song. it's not half bad. i don't remember the name of the band, though.

TOTHK - "Perfect Way"


Well, we haven't heard it that frequently lately... but following it with TFF isn't an auspicious start IMHO.  Dave's in vacay mode already, methinks.

Patti Smith just covered it too.  That's not what you're thinking of, is it?

can I beat Gaz to the punch with a proxy WOS vote for ASWTDID?  IIRC, he hates it because Henley rhymes a word with itself.

Time was, this was almost as big a Katrina as Katrina herself.  But Dave has since relegated Scritti Politti to once-a-year status.   I distinctly remember during the original debate over the terminology back on the old Yahoo! boards that we'd heard this in 4 out of 5 sets at one point circa 2001.  We still got it 3 times in 2005, but this is only the 2nd time since.

FWIW, I don't remember how it tasted, but I remember that I didn't dislike New Coke.  Then again, I liked Crystal Pepsi, Joost, OK, and several other failed colas . . .

Rarer than you think.

Not only a bustout, but Dave never plays HoJo.  My Db only has one HoJo entry: "The Prisoner" from 1/13/04.

NewCoke tasted like pepsi -- that was the point. A stupid idea -- whether it was sincere or a deliberate con, we'll never know.

"Careless Whisper" has an interesting 10@10history, having been played by Dave in 4 different types of sets, once each over the past 4 years...

...once in a 1984 set, once in a 1985 set, once in a VT as the 1985 entry, and once in a Hits From Hell set (another of which we're due for next Fri).

Wow, four pages of posts on this one and it's not even noon. That speaks volumes about this set. Helps that we had the best attendance in ages--both Gaz and POC, and Mike's back from vacay and typing copiously. but a good set nonetheless.

Have fun at the health farm, Princess. Take a good book with you that's not the Bhagavad gita. Maybe the Kama sutra?

Methinks the princess is already tres familiar with that book... :wink:

As to the posts, this will surely be our high-water-mark for the week, since we'll have Morey Classics the rest of the time.

It's like Dave ran a poll among the year's musicians: What do you want to do today?
(a) rule the world
(b) dance
(c) get to know you well
(d) run to you

I vote (a) as a Roland Orzabal proxy.
