Title: 5 June 2009, it's... 1979
Post by: RGMike on June 05, 2009, 08:42:38 AM
technically, the only decade AL hasn't hit yet is the '70s (tho' some of the Neil stuff was from there).

and sure enuf it's '79 with Cheap 'Trina.

My psychic powers are indicating '83.  But, to paraphrase Boston, it's less than a feeling.

I think we'll hear a 70s's set.  Maybe something w Labelle or the Runaways.  b/c, well, you know.

This set can only get better -- WOS, CT.

On the other hand, if Rod Stewart shows up and asks if we think he's sexy, I'll change that vote!

A big improvement indeed with Joe Jackson and some righteous bass-playing.

BOS6 Blondie's fab "Dreaming" -- is this a KFOG bustout? Don't think Dave ever played this, much as I wished he would.

It's not in the Db, and for the second consecutive year-based set, Annalisa serves up a group that had no previous entries (first Pixies, now Buzzcocks).

ETA: and now we can add Johnny Cash, in any incarnation!  Damn!

well, it's quite old (originally a hit in 1948) but Johnny's version was '79 I guess (didn't he also do it with Waylon & Willie in the '80s?)

Excellent double play.
I still have fond memories of playing Wierd Al's "Eat It" right after Michael Jackson's "Beat It" -- they were both on the same jukebox in some bar in Palo Alto.

"My Bologna"!!!!

LOL!  And "My Sharona" follows, a song that has surprisngly few Db entries.  It's in there thrice in a '79 set, thrice as the '79 entry in a VT, and once in a theme set (Earworms).

Hah, I contrived to use 'thrice' in a sentence twice!

As mentioned above, both Buzzcocks & Johnny Cash were *artist* bustouts.  Neither "Dreaming" nor (believe it or not) "Low Budget" are in the Db either.  Plus "Friday" has only one entry, and "Good Tiimes" only two.

wow, wow, and wow.  As Rod already said, this week has far exceeded expectations. AL is clearly into it and really does her homework.  Here's hoping they continue running the marathon in Mon-thru-Fri order; I can do without hearing '95 again but the rest of the week was well worth repeating.

Actually I missed the Madness tune.  "One Step Beyond" was also a bustout, and all the more welcome because "Our House" is such a Katrina. 

But here's an even more intersting way to parse the set:

With a whopping four entires in the Db, tune #4 "Rudi, A Message To You" had more appearances than the rest of tunes 2-9 COMBINED.

I had to take care of some business today and missed the set this morning. So I tune in a bit ago planning to catch the replay--and there's none to be heard. Don Henley into Santana's No One to Depend On.

Wait--it's just running late. Here it is at 10:15.

So anyone else think the guy in the intro who's going "back in time to mess with people's minds" sounds kinda like Tom Petty?
