"Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto!  You're beautiful!"

"She blinded me with science...she hit me with technology..."

A certain amount of irony listening to this while following along with Jobs' annual "one more thing" keynote from Macworld.

WOS for The Call.

Amen.

But a nice recovery with the Kinks, Don't Forget to Dance. (Yes, I admit to a certain bias.)

I really liked this back in '83 -- that line about "corporate criminals playing with tanks" is sadly still resonant -- but this shows up in seemingly every '83 set.

VHM Kinks just 'cause it ain't "Come Dancing", but it ain't no bustout neither.

I agree.  Ray is practically crooning on this one.  This song does have a real cheesy 80s feel to it, no?  Reminds me of the verse parts of Pete's Slit Skirts.

"even tho' you could be their mother" -- Ray was celebrating cougars before the word existed.

I don't usually vote for U2, but I like this live version of Two Hearts Beat As One.

Another potential BOS, this remix of Two Hearts. Two songs ago Ray was imploring us not to forget to dance, now Bono says "don't stop the dance..."

That's Bryan Ferry you're thinking of.  Bono can't stop the dance.

He's been pretty scarce here lately--wonder if he's travelling or just slammed with work?

Now, I'm one of the few who actually LIKES "bang on the Drum"... but jeez, Dave, this has been a weak set overall, and this is one more 'trina.

I'm cool with it, although it's not one of Todd's better songs. But it sure gets him some royalties, ya sure ya betcha.

WOS2 to Todd.  I find "Bang on the Drum" one of the most unlistenable songs ever.

Please explain why, it seems totally loveable to me -- catchy, anti-work, what's not to like.  (I like the ska cover version by Bad Manners too)

BOS Spandau Ballet, list'nin' to Marvin all nite long.
