no back-door necessary today, the stream is up and running.

They're promo-ing the Drive's 4th Birthday Party -- a free Styx concert at the Rosemont (?) Theater in Chi-Town.

VHM to "The Hottest Disco Steps"!  Except that Bob ruined the payoff by segueing into Neil's "Hey Hey My My."

"It's All I Can Do" to keep from nodding off...

"When I was crazy
I thought you were great."

Hope Ric's not singing about Paulina. Are they still married?

Kudos to Bob for digging out a Pope JPII clip.  He always sounded like Bela Lugosi when he spoke English...

Great, now I'm imagining the Pope referring to "that cocksucker Karloff."   :shock:

So at 10 we had Graham Parker doing "Get Started (Start a Fire)" (sorry you missed it, MShray).
At 11 we have Joe Jackson doing "...Out With Him."

Ergo, at 1 we will get something from Elvis Costello to complete the Angry Young Trifecta.

LOL!

Virtually all the newscasters I worked with at ABC would dread Xmas and Easter because we'd always have Pope clips to use, and they'd always be trying not to laugh.  JPII always sounded like he was seconds away from saying "I vahnt to sahk your blahhhd..."

Mixed feelings on the Supertramp.  Love the melody, hate the lyrics.

I guess that summarizes my feelings about 80% of their oeuvre.  How come no one ever plays "It's Raining Again"?

I think that WAS the payoff -- disco's here, but "rock and roll will never die".

Dammmmmmnnnnnn.  I might have to be like Mike & pull an early Friday if they're playing that part of the catalogue.

This is one of the all-time great stoned-with-the-headphones-cranked-up-to-eleven songs.

Totally cheesy prog-rock wannabe, but great studio effects with everything flying back & forth from left to right, and like I said, you just have to be stoned & wearing headphones for this song.

The other surprises from today's '88 set were Paul Carrack's "Don't Shed a Tear" and a Pixies song with Kim Deal singing lead.  Also three (!) movie excerpts (Rain Man, Beetlejuice, When Harry Met Sally), resulting in the set not ending until 10:52.  Consider self warned.

Impressive -- that's the Pixies twice in, what, 10 days?  Guess they're beloved in "New York's Backyard".
