Guessing it's 80s, but regardless of the year, it's damn early. 9:55 and we're in the birthday club...
ETA: Yes, 80s--and it could go either way. However, Style Council is a good start. Let's hope the set doesn't have an Ever Changing Mood.

it's the calm before the storm, the hush before the silence.

Dave's is a never-changing mood. He always plays the Style Council. No complaints about it, though.

go ahead and jump, Dave.
Sunday I heard the top 14 songs from this week in '84, courtesy of Klassic Kasem -- this was #2 that week, and I'm guessing we hear at least 2 others from that list. Nena, perhaps? Billy Joel? Genesis? Cyndi Lauper?
I'm hoping for Shannon's "Let the Music Play", but not holding my breath.

Read a news item yesterday where Eddie VH is undergoing medical tests, had to postpone several March tour dates. Love ya, -Ronnie Reagan

Really hoping we *don't* hear any Genesis, nor Yes for that matter. Both those bands were peaking in popularity and sorely lacking for originality in '84.

nice topical avatar Mr. Wayback!
"Circumstance beyond our control. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh." That's how I felt about the Reagan years (& the latter Bush years).

I took that photo in lobby of Jelly Belly factory Fairfield about five years ago. I knew it'd come in handy someday! That pic of Reagan is actually made out of jellybeans.

And this is about as far from prog-pop as I could imagine. BOS1 Los Lobos, Evangeline, off their debut Will The Wolf Survive? iirc.
-
WOW!
Big fat BOS for Los Lobos "Evangeline"

A bustout, in fact!

indeed -- Yes were in that top 14 too, on their way down from #1. Great bit on the Simpsons Sunday: Homer drives a loaner after Marge totals their car and sings "Owner of a loaner car! much better than the owner of my other car!"
-
WOW!

Los Lobos will be at the Alameda County Fair in Pleasanton this summer.
Oh, and anyone wanna buy some videodisks??

"Tell me about your childhood."
Or, DON'T. High Katrina when I's small ...
-
Trombone solo anyone?
ETA: "I'm the breather on the phone."
love that line
-
"tell me about your 'trinas"
least necessary: Dolby, hyper-overplayed in my bones and in my 'phones.
-
"Tell me about your childhood."
Or, DON'T. High Katrina when I's small ...
tell me about your JINX!
-

I'm pogo dancing as fast as I can!!!

I really like "Hyperactive". Thomas Dolby was one of very few artists in the 80s that I enjoyed at the time.
-

too many coffee-flavored Jelly Bellys...
-
I had a laserdisk player. Not in 84 -- bought it in the early 90s. It was very cool, before DVDs.

Dream on white boy, dream on black girl, dream on BOS3.

Wouldja believe INXS "Original Sin" is another Bustout!?
BOS #3
-
Did he say "the American folk singer Michael Jackson...???"
-
BOS to "Close to the Edit," slowly becoming a Dave recurrent.
-

that's "pop singer". Take those Jellybeans outta yer ears!

I'm shocked to hear that! VHM from me.

I'm shocked too. And "Close to the Edit" is only making its 3rd appearance.

Not really, it's first and only appearance was less than a year ago in the Db, unless it showed up once more since Dec. 1.

"Well, I got to go sweep the nation! Party on! How about playin' some Yes?" Signed, Ronnie

As am I.
Meanwhile here's the dreaded Yes--but at least a less-heard offering. Our Song, waxing poetic about...Toledo?
-
Well, if you gotta hear 90125, this is certainly a less-played track.
-

by which i guess you mean "in a 1984 set", since it made a "strictly instrumental" appearance once too.
2nd-least-necessary: "It's My Life".

Not sure about Toledo, but Dave is in error here. "Our Song" was the lead single...it & the album 90125 came out in 1983, with "Our SOng" peaking at #32 (in 1983, not 1984)

I have a vivid memory of watching the video of "Its My Life" on the big screen at the ol' Ritz in NYC back in the day. That and sitting with Dave Edmunds for a few minutes, getting his autograph after his concert at the Ritz in 83 or 84.
-
So apparently they weren't talking about the laserdisk player. What was it? Dave mentioned Selectavision which sounds familiar, but what's the technology? It did seem odd to talk about laserdisk in 1984, since CDs had yet to come out then, or were just about to.
ETA: Well, I looked up Selectavision. It's a bizarre technology using vinyl disks and a real needle decoding both video and audio. CED, doncha know...

'80s club days! I saw Crock of Seagulls at The Peppermint Lounge in the summer of '82.

The CD is based on Laserdisc technology. Laserdisc info:

I seem to remember CD players being out before 1984. I remember going to one of those autograph signings I mentioned about before at the old Record Factory and they had a little demo on it with somebody from a local news station (forgot which one, it was about 26 years ago).

They were probably available in 84, but they were very much an audiophile-only, luxury item until 86 or so--I can't say how much they would have cost but probably $700-$800, if not more. And you'd have had to go to a stereo store to buy the discs--I don't think the average record store carried many if any. The first of my friends got a CD player was in 86 after the price had dropped a fair amount, and I got mine maybe six months to a year later for about $250. And I think I was a little ahead of the curve--at that point Tower still carried far more vinyl than it did CDs. Within a year or so that ratio had reversed.

I was *really* late on the curve: I was still buying cassettes up through 1996 and didn't exclusively move to CDs until '98. Perhaps as a function of growing up in a semi-rural area, I'd never even seen a CD until I went to college in fall '91.

I resisted until after I moved to SF in '91. I remember 1990 as the year of the vinyl clearance: Tower and J&R Music World in NYC were selling LPs for a buck or 2.
