Dang , not one but two looooong songs. Extra Special BOS for ""Closer To Home"
ETA: MAJOR flashback for me. In late fall of '79 I made a trip to Cincy to visit with two girls I had met the summer before when we were all AFS exchange students to Germany (THE seminal experience of my life). Theresa's older sister went to Miami OH, and and Suzie's older sister's boyfriend did too, so we spent the weekend there. The sister's boyfriend put me up at his frat, and I had my very first taste of college life.
At one point we wound up in someone's dorm room & the guy pulled out a Fender bass, cranked up this GFR track and played the bass line all the way through. After that, all I could think about was escaping High School & getting to college.
-
when I learned to pick out the opening riff to "25 Or 6 To 4" on an acoustic guitar, I was ecstatic. It's easier than "Smoke On The Water!"

Wayback, does your animated avatar exist on the web, or did you create it yourself

"I was thinking about what a friend had said; I was hoping it was a lie."
BOS Neil.
-
BOS 3, Niel.
Though, if I were to limit myself to 1 BOS, it would be 25 or 6 to 4, which just rocks so hard for a band that later turned into namby-pamby balladeers.

Derek!

BOS2 D&TDs.

Derek and the BOS #4

That's the 3rd majorly extended track ofthe first half. Is Dave going to set a record for longest set ever today??
-
It's not getting any worse, BOS 5, Velvet Underground (or is this Lou solo?)
-
Dangerous sign when after 5 tunes, Lou Reed is as close as we come to a happy song.
-
It's not getting any worse, BOS 5, Velvet Underground (or is this Lou solo?)
He wasn't solo in 1970. What is this, tune 5 or 6? We've had whole sets that were over by now, especially on a way-back Friday.
-
HM to "Cottage Cheese."

HM to "Cottage Cheese."
interesting that we heard "Evil Woman" (which I much prefer) from Bob the other day. I'm not fond of "Cottage Cheese" (the food OR the song -- these vocals are borderline retarded).

Yes, its a Wayback Friday! ;) "We're heavy in 1970, yeah baby!"

BOS4 A&K, "T,T". Mr James gives a Lawn Guyland bar band a gift. Guess the Clique were unavailable that day.

OMGWTFLOL!!! BOS5 Laura Nyro feat LaBelle, "Up on the Roof". Glorious. Bustout-of-the-Month.

I haven't looked yet, but I think we can safely say this is a bustout. Major league BOS.

OMGWTFLOL!!! BOS5 Laura Nyro feat LaBelle, "Up on the Roof". Glorious. Bustout-of-the-Month.
Totally unexpected, and totally delightful (and I usually distrust Nyro's ability to deliver a tune).

Her LP of Brill-Building covers with labelle is worth a spin.

-
You so damn bad! BOS3 to "Lucretia MacEvil"!
-
You so damn bad! BOS3 to "Lucretia MacEvil"!
WHATCHA GON TO DO!?
-
Gotta BOS the Kinks too.
I don't feel safe in this world no more, I don't want to die in a nuclear war, I want to sail away to a distant shore....
Looks like Dave's bookending the set with two of the biggest horn bands of '70.
-

(if this is the looong version, we may indeed set a record)
well, it wasn't. But one for the ages today. A fine week for Dave.
-
overall proxy's to Alicat, Davefish, Yessongs, POC, Geoff, and anyone else who wasn't here the past 45 mintues. Man! What a Set!
-
Haha, more people recognized Laura Nyro here than in all of KFOG's phone-in listeners!
-
Don't EVER apologize for digressing, Dave! We love you when you speak from the heart.
-

Amen. Dave is waxing poetic about Laura Nyro, so I guess we know which song HE voted for as BOS. Me, too.
-
I probably should get some work done, but any post-set listening for anyone?
-

Hell, I was one of those who voted it BOS. So that takes the phone-in numbers down to one.

You got it, though I may not be able to post much. (My work on TIME.com this afternoon is all financial crisis, all the time; I need a break from the relentless depression of it all.)

yeah, a fine set! (I'm listening to the buffered stream once again -- so my post set-listening is actually the set itself..)

An aside to this, I just finished reading "There's Always Magic In the Air: The Bomp and Brilliance of the Brill Building Era" by Ken Emerson. A little dry at times but still an interesting read, but it follows the whole Brill Building/1650 Broadway cast of songwriters from their youth all the way to about 1970, with lots of info on Aldon Music (Don Kirshner) and Hill and Range (another big publisher), too. Man the research that must have gone into this is just amazing. Leiber and Stoller, Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, Carole King and Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich, Bacharach and David, Sedaka and Greenfield, they're all here. Mike, Gaz, I particularly recomment this to both of you if you haven't read it already.

Well, at least you didn't overspend! Quite possibly the best deal you'll ever get. Hope you like!
ETA: And here's a bit of trivia for MShray that I learned from this book: Did you know that Mike Stoller and his wife were passengers on the Andrea Doria when it sunk? Man, what popular music would have missed if he'd gone down with the ship!

Amazon can be truly amazing -- that's not the first 1-cent book I've bought. Couple years ago, after reading Chabon's great Kavalier & Clay, I was reading his acknowledgements, and he mentioned a book called The Gay Metropolis, a history of gay culture in NYC from the '20s to the '90s, which he said was invaluable to him in researching the gay-in-the-'40s and '50s parts of K&C. And there it was on Amazon for a penny. And it's one of the most interesting books I've ever read.
