Title: 22 January 2009: a "classic" from 1985
Post by: mshray on January 21, 2009, 11:17:13 PM
Just heard the promo by Webster.

Look out for Tears For Fears.  Between them "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" & "The Working Hour" have been TotHK's 7 times in around 50 sets.

Looks like we're going w-a-a-a-a-a-y-y-y back again with this set. The REM song doesn't appear in the DB at all in '85, and Easy Lover shows up only twice, both times in the #5 slot, so looks like this set is an oldie.

So what else do we want to kvetch about here to see if it affects the selection of classics? "Boy, they NEVER play Strictly Instrumental classics--I really wish they'd play a few of those!"

Well *that* was intersting. Are these sets actually burned to a disc?  Because my notes for this set (2/6/07) show that "Easy Lover" was off of vinyl, so it wasn't the Philip Bailey CD that skipped.

a Simpsons ep where Bart became a jazz drummer (much to Lisa's consternation) -- then a tiger bites his arm (don't ask) and he's told he'll never drum again, which prompts him to say the quote.

Hee.  Actually, we got an Instrumental "classic" on Thanksgiving Friday, so I wouldn't expect another for at least 6 months ;)

Sorry 'bout that, but the Db tripped you up.  The entires you refer to are for Philip Bailey & Phil Collins, but the one I found was for just Philip Bailey.   I've fixed it in my copy now.

Well, we can scratch that. The Golden Palominos thing threw me (as it always does), and Easy Lover for today's set listed Philip Bailey alone as the artist; its other appearances in the DB have Philip Bailey and Phil Collins in that category. (Heads-up on the latter to Mshray.)

ETA: Never mind--I see Mark is already on it.

My, she's held up well.

BOS to Henley's Drivin' With Your Eyes Closed, a great deep cut off Building the Perfect Beast, and which was a bustout when this set originally aired.

Just noticed Dave excised that last phrase "talk, talk, bullshit" from the track. That was close.

If that's true then it really fits in with the sub-theme of the set.

Ah well, no guest stars on "One World" I'd wager.  BOS #4 tho'.

Yep--and a rather pointed obit for the band in the blurb that AMG includes:

Quote
They got the bomb part right, but the band's heart wasn't in it anymore (even the cover art, once a source of pride, was lame). Dressed up like new romantics on the back cover, coerced into collaborating with producer Todd Rundgren (his second stint with the band), where were The Tubes headed? Were they the party band of Outside Inside, delivering funky confections like "Love Bomb," "Night People," and "Say Hey"? Utopia clones, kneeling at the producer's shrine for "Come As You Are" and "For a Song"? Faceless studio rockers cranking out radio-ready product like "One Good Reason" and "Stella"? There's a lesson here about getting in bed with commercial music: You have to perform even when you're not in the mood. Love Bomb still manages to deliver a couple of decent songs: the by-now obligatory opening single, "Piece By Piece," and the awfully catchy "Eyes." For anyone keeping track, that's two more good songs than you'll find on Fee Waybill's solo album from the previous year, but less than you'll find on any other Tubes record. And so a band that, in 1975, seemed poised to help change the shape of popular music had finally rendered itself irrelevant.
