Title: 20 March 2008--it's 1985
Post by: urth on March 20, 2008, 10:03:49 AM
And indeed, this is not America.

ETA: Sodden thought: How did Bowie get paired up with Pat Metheny? Love the results, but they aren't a duo I would have conceived of, then or now.

as Jon Carroll's column today makes clear! Thank heaven for small favors. And BOS for Bowie/Metheny, sha-la-la-la-la!

Yep. I finished it just as the train I was on pulled into Montgomery, and the last line (equating celebrating being Irish by drinking with celebrating being black by picking cotton) stuck in my head for the several blocks down 2nd street.

Early BOS votes to both Bowie Meth and Kate Bush, both sledgehammers of sorts.

I'm sure it has no meaning at all, Dave-wise. Unless the "She" is Doris Day.

Wow!  BOS to one I don't think we've heard in a long time, Animotion's "Obsession."  I remember our Top 40 station being a little skittish about this at first.

This gives me faint hope that we'll get "Oh Sheila" before the set's over.

that would make my day ('cause what's good for the goose is *always* good for the gander).  "Obsession" was played once before, 3 years ago, per the shraytabase.

Remember a couple summers ago a limited run TV show called "Baby Hit Me One More Time" in which 70's/80's acts performed their hits. Animotion did "Obsession".  Kinda interesting/fun/weird to see these acts many years later.

Still a little early for an overall evaluation, but so far this set is doing a pretty good job of raising the bar for 85 sets. Althought Broken Wings doesn't exactly continue the trend.

Here's your Reagan clip, Wayback!

Eyes, by the Tubes, from their swansong LP, Love Bomb. Dave's played this a time or three. It's a total Narada, and reversing the trend I was hoping for in my previous post.

Yeah, and this is probably the most lightweight track on Brothers in Arms. I'd much rather hear the title track, for instance, or Walk Across the River.

Katrina is not really a 'Katrina' anymore, only showing up once/year in 1985 sets the past 3 years.  It gets into it's share of Summer/Sunshine theme sets though.

They never fail to amaze me.  It was sick twisted and perfectly on-target.  (it was also great to see the rerun right before it where they trash Family Guy -- I love the fact that everyone in the comedy/animation biz hates that show)
