"Maybe the greatest record ever made" said Little Steven when he played this Sun nite. I never understood why Warners/Sire didn't re-release End of the Century at... the end of the century. woulda been a great promo, no?
BOS, at any rate, and now "Heart of Glass" for the billionth time. Hope this gets better.
-
BOS2 and proxies of Rod & 'shray: JJ, "Different For Girls".
-
It's Different for Girls--not a bustout or even a rarity, but I'll listen to this anytime.
I'd say it's about 3-1 that we'll hear something from Nick Lowe, but I'd love it if it were something besides Cruel to be Kind. Switchboard Susan maybe, or American Squirm.
-
Disco maybe!

Disco maybe!
Disco definitely! But I have no idea who this is. Dig the rhythm guitar part though.
-
BOS3 Ms Pointer -- the disco version of "Heaven Musta Sent You" (the 45 had the"regular" version on one side and this mix on the other). Either way, a fab revival of a "lost" early-Motown track (The Elgins? The Velvelettes? I always confuse those 2).

Dave's played this often enuf -- within the past year, I'll wager. This is a serious 12-inch version, tho'.

Yup, I'm digging this. Good riffs. Plugged buds in so I can turn it UP.

yikes, another way-overplayed hit: the Knack.

Hope you didn't bet the house. It's in the DB once, but it was 16 months ago--August 1 '06 to be specific. Great tune in any case. It'll get my BOS vote if nothing better comes along.
Just had an inspiration that we'll likely never hear--Bryan Ferry's Tokyo Joe. Another great FM hit from the summer of '79.

a yes Street Life. It's the only life I know

Well, I was close. ;)
BOS4 "Street Life", the Crusaders with what's-her-name. (proxy WOS for the princess, iirc)
-
Wish we'd find a bustout in this bottle. I'm falling into despair-oh.
-
aaaack. WOS Police
-
yikes, another way-overplayed hit: the Knack.
And trumping Sharona in the Overplayed column, it's Gordo, Andy and Stew. Katrina in a Bottle?

You just knew it was gonna happen. Just knew it.

this is cruel. More ick.

The "Cruel"-est katrina of all! Here comes that 'trina-day feeling again! (The Fortunes shoulda sued)

it's almost as if Dave's overcompensating for the "unfamiliarity" factor that A-to-Z provides by being overly-familiar during 10@10.
-
wow -- I'll def BOS5 ELO's disco-tinged "Shine a Little Love", one Dave actually doesn't play very much. I've always had a soft spot for this one.

Def. more of a rarity than anything else we've heard save for the Pointer tune. And coincidentally it made its last appearance in the same set, 8/1/2006. I'm still gonna vote Bonnie for BOS today, but this is nice to hear, something I'd have never said in '79.
-
"rock'n'roll is good time music" -- but this song isn't. WOS.
-
... but this is nice to hear, something I'd have never said in '79.
But I still won't say that about this Starship tune. Ick. Sorry, Gaz, no love for anything from Freedom at Point Zero.
But this too was in that 8/1/06 set. I gotta see what else was in that one--we've heard three songs from that same set today (at least).

Funny, then, that Dave said he had a list of "15 or 16" songs and then chucked it to "make it up as we went along".

Turns out those were the only three songs that were duplicated between the two sets--and the only three for which I looked at the history. There was a Police song in that set, too, but a different one--Walking on the Moon. And it had a Cars song as well, so I guess we can feel lucky we dodged that bullett.
Here's the full list from 8/1/06:
Bonnie Pointer Heaven Must Have Sent You
Cars Let's Go
Jefferson Starship Rock Music
Police Walking On The Moon
Fleetwood Mac Tusk
Electric Light Orchestra Shine A Little Love
Squeeze Up the Junction
Led Zeppelin Hot Dog
Hot Chocolate Everyone's A Winner
Rod Stewart Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?

I just heard that song in a store the other day and it was stuck in my head the whole afternoon.
BTW, "Heaven" was indeed the Elgins. The Velvelettes (great name) did "Needle in a Haystack" and, I believe, "He Was Really Saying Something."
And WOS to "Rock Music," utterly embarrassing. But there are a couple good tracks to be found on Freedom at Point Zero, particularly the title track (typical Kantner) and "Fading Lady Light" (a Mickey ballad with no subtlety but a fine melody). I still find it bizarre that "Girl With the Hungry Eyes" charted Hot 100.
