instant BOS, PSBs, "WEG" -- methinks this might be a good'un. And here's a BOS2: Level 42. Proxies of gaz on both.

Well, if rarity is your thing there are at least two songs that debuted in this set and haven't been heard since, and a couple of others that have only appeared twice. That said, I can't say they're all that good.
(This set first aired Oct. 17, 2006, if anyone wants to look.)
Wow, this clip montage on greed is pretty timely.

VHM Rudy-when-he-was-good.
and another VHM "Semen Overspill".

Ick. Who's Rudy? Did I miss a song in there?

I like you avatar Mike. I've always liked Patrick McGoohan, especially in Scanners.
Did you know how many huge roles he truned down in his career, even in the past decade?

That was Rudy Giuliani talkin' 'bout bringing insider-traders to justice.

Wow, is this that Kantner/Slick thing? another proxy of Gaz -- he's missing a set made for him!

Ahh, yeah I was out for the non-musical interlude.

This is the KBC Band.

Isn't that Marty Balin, without Grace?

indeed, James Bond *and* Simon Templar! But I love this bit from Wiki:
On a few occasions McGoohan has played the part of a priest. In 1955, McGoohan starred in a West End production of a play called Serious Charge, in the role of a priest accused of being gay
a play about a gay priest ... in 1955!!

OMFG Falco, "Vienna Calling" -- this really was quite the rarity-fest. Would that all '86 sets were this wacky.

The pride of Austria, our very own...Falco!
Nice self-promotion, and BOSFRA.

This is one of the three that busted out in this set, and haven't appeared since. Stay tuned for tunes 7 and 8, although you probably won't be as excited about them.

in case you missed the Falco parody "Rock Me Jerry Lewis" in another thread recently...

So you're saying that Roger Moore made his career taking Patrick McGoohan's leftovers? What other parts did McGoohan turn down?

VHM M & t Ms (not to be confused with M+M).

Do you like anything else by Lynch, I mean really like?

But damn, it's sooooo creepy.

Won't argue that, but that's the role that did for Dennis Hopper what The Wrestler is doing for Mickey Rourke right now.

Eraserhead is interesting -- weird in a good way. Mulholland Drive is probably the closest I've come to liking a Lynch film. He's just one of those directors that strikes me as being (here's that phrase again) willfully obscure. "I'm gonna put a lot of meaningless nonsense in a movie and the critics will think it's profound". Maybe he should collaborate with Rush ;)
ETA: Oh, I really liked The Straight Story, the least-Lynchian of his films. But -- amazingly -- I've never seen Elephant Man
-
VHM Sting. This really was one of Dave's better '86 efforts, and we didn't even get the Blow Monkeys.

What'd you think of Twin Peaks?
Btw, The Elephant Man was a Lynch film too, wasn't it?

He's really one of those wacked out artists you'd find working in all kinds of weird media (literally true) who somehow fell into film as a second career. But I liked most of his films and saw just a bit of Blue Velvet the other night.

See I loved Twin Peaks, and I thought Elephant Man was excellent (nominated for 8 Oscars, but shut out).

Twin Peaks, again, was the epitome of "willfully obscure", I watched it for a couple of weeks and lost interest. And as I added above, I've never seen EM but I probably should.
-
wow, that was a rather, er animated Morey backannounce, no? LOL! Sombody was quite caffienated that day!

Gotta say, the array of classics we've been treated to lately have been a cut above what we're normally given.

Agreed that there was a bunch of out-of-left-field imagery in TP, but it was weird enough to keep you coming back to see what he'd come up with next. Also, there was enough of a plot to string you along, and it was pretty sexy to boot.
You definitely should see Elephant Man--John Hurt is incredible, one of the great roles of his career.

good set, y'all. I was listening but busy.
Two more John Hurt roles from the 70s that should be seen:
"I Claudius": He plays Caligula in a few of the episodes (the entire mini-series runs 10 episodes or so, and is fantastic):

"The Naked Civil Servant": he portrays Quentin Crisp, purple flip and all:

L to R: Crisp and Hurt

I think the stream just got blown off for the bonus track again--just had about 10 minutes of ads, followed by an abrupt segue into Another One Bites The Dust. Given the irregularity of how we hear it sometimes, and sometimes we don't, I have to think this is a human error rather than computer.

He'd likely have won the Oscar in most other yrs, but had the misfortune to be nominated in 1981, when no one had a chance against DeNiro for Raging Bull. Likewise two years later no one really had a chance against Ben Kingsley for Gandhi. Dustin Hoffman's Tootsie & Paul Newman's The Verdict performances in 1983 could have been selected in other years. And poor Peter O'Toole, nommed for The Stuntman in '81 & My Favorite Year in '83, two performances that I loved, but were barely even mentioned as also-rans. (Jack Lemon also got nommed in both those yrs, but probably shouldn't have, imho)
