Title: 25 Oct 2007--it's 1987
Post by: urth on October 25, 2007, 10:05:46 AM
Was away from the radio when dave spun the wheel.

But I've never heard this Chris Rea song before, so points to DM for that alone.

ETA: Yep, 87 confirmed.

nice start with Chris Rea's "Let's dance" -- I'll even give it a BOS.

I am quite sick of Jim & Tammy, tho'

But --OMG! -- BOS2 BonJersey.

another SF memory for me: I had heard the song on Capital Radio that summer (working at ABC), it was a decent-sized UK hit.  Looked everywhere for it, and finally found the 45 at Tower when on vacay here.

Dave cheats and plays "Graceland" in '87 -- and not the first time, iirc. It was indeed a single in '87, but c'mon.

I'd never heard the Chris Rea song before, but I thought it was kinda cheesy, especially the trumpets.  Rarity points but no BOS.

Ah yes, the year of Graceland...  I seem to remember that Paul Simon won just about every Grammy he could this year.

VHM to the segue from Stock Market to "Hell in a Bucket" (tho' it's nearly a Katrina all by itself) But (you're way ahead of me) WOS Dead.

Clever segue, but I want to say he's done that one before.

BOS to RHCP!  Back when they were still funky.

birthday party cheesecake jellybean boom.

OMFG! BOS3 for bustoutiness alone, whoever this is rapping.  But Dave's taste in this genre leaves a lot to be desired.

I was gonna guess Run-DMC at first.  I knew it wasn't the Beasties (whose LP as also '87).

VHM FMac.

No Kidding.  The Db sez that the previous earliest Dave has played RHCP is in 1991, so a bustout by about 4 yrs.  But I know Rob or Ginger or Marcus has played "True Men Don't Kill Coyotes" from even earlier.

true men don't kill coyotes -- unless of course they're fighting like a brave.

So does Atlanta play that song at their games? 'twould seem a natural.

This does seem like a regular thing the last several days. Might we worth a note to the KFOG techmeisters.

Btw, we're now hearing Georgie M's Faith, if you're still offline.

Well I don't feel bad about missing that 'trina -- but this has been one of Dave's better '87 sets in some time.

Whoa! I believe this is the Cure, and possibly another bustout, but I don't know them well enough to ID the song.

ETA: It was Why Can't I Be You.

Bon Jovi got BOS. And Dave copped to playing Faith too much in 87 sets!!! My god!! Now THAT'S a first!

I wanna say Dave's played "WCIBY" before, but I always say that...

At least he didn't play "Faith" right after Jim'n'Tammy as per usual.

In this case, you're right. Checked the DB, and it's gotten played exactly once before--in 2005.

Not only a first, but he's wrong!  This is the year of Robbie Nevil and Crowded House, George is WAAAAAAY down the list.

Here are the Katrina's from 1987:

Robbie Nevil - C'est La Vie - 37.8%
Squeeze - Hourglass - 32.4%
Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over - 27.0%
Crowded House - Something So Strong - 27.0%
Pretenders - Don't Get Me Wrong - 27.0%
Julian Cope - World Shut Your Mouth - 24.3%
BoDeans - Dreams - 21.6%
Jesus & Mary Chain - April Skies - 21.6%
World Party - All Come True - 21.6%

"Faith" heads the list of songs that were one more play away from joining the over 20% crowd, which also includes today's R.E.M. entry.

George Michael - Faith
Jon Astley - Jane's Getting Serious
Love & Rockets - No New Tale To Tell
R.E.M. - It's The End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

Belated props to Dave for the segue of the villainous Ollie North into "Little Lies."  That chapter of history has yet to be grasped.

And what a complementary trio they were, at their best: Christine's effortless melody and efficiency; Lindsey's remarkable (or cokeheadist) perfectionism; Stevie's dreamy intuitions.  Rhythm section got to take a well-deserved break by Tango in the Night.
