we've had a lot of compare'n'contrast lately. Dave'll have to work hard to top what Ginger just did. Feel sunshine sparkle pink'n'blue to start.

VHM "Livin' on the Fault Line" -- nice segue out of Carter's litany-of-global-woes clip.

It wouldn't be a Morey '77 set without APP -- I think I Robot gets more play in this year than Rumors.

I did at the time, being a big sci-fi fan and also an admirer of the previous Parsons thang, ...Edgar Allen Poe. But I'm amazed at how beloved it appears to be 30 years later.

APP garnered a bit of hipster cred when Grandaddy (indie darlings from Modesto) paid them some homage on a couple of albums.

BOS Serpentine Fire. Killer horns here.

Not surprisingly, I mostly find Asimov unreadable.

Ginger v. Dave in a nutshell: she gave us "Quietest Moments", while he goes with the overplayed hit.

Okay, but I doubt anyone besides Dave will ever play "Cherchez La Femme".  Or all that much disco generally.

It's my errant hearing of the line in Holy Grail where they say to get the cow.  I spose it should actually be cherchez, based on what my trusty online translator says.

Katrina for everybody else, but welcome sledgehammer for me.  Spent the summer of '77 wokring on my uncle's farm in Illinois, and he had AM radios mounted on his tractors & in the milking parlor.  So we heard the same songs every 120 minutes, all day, and this was one of the few that we never got tired of.

Aaah...can't believe I missed a Python reference, but your hearing is not at fault.  My Monty Python reference book* has it as "fetchez la vache".  In which case the meaning is transparent.

Heard the replay, and dunno if we've discussed this before, but Dave pronounced Mr. Savannah's lader as "Byew-ZARD" rather than "Buzzard."  Is that correct?  (I once had a college roommate with the last name Bussard, but it was pronounced like the bird.)

Nice set, BOS to Barry's last big hit.

Dave always pronounces it that way -- there was a major debate about it some years back, and he claims someone close to the band told him it is indeed  "byew-ZARD".
