just wanted to get a post or two in before leaving for golf at Sharp Park.
Starting off with a Lawrence Welk clip, into Play That Funky Music White Boy
Annalisa keeps her mic open a lot!
-
And a one-a, and a two-a...
Take that, Lawrence!

I am funkin' out in every way!

Have a great time, Geoff!
For those who cheat and look at the player for the next song: a pleasant surprise awaits after the Doobs.

Hoping this is another set that starts lamely but picks up steam. (I've maxed out on "PTFMWB" and this Doobs track is kinda meh).

LOL -- excellent quote, Shray.

Must...not...peek...
ETA: The player actually listed the Flamin' Groovies?!? Wow, I'm shocked! BOS1 Shake Some Action.
-
I can't get behind "It Keeps You Running" too much, but does this need a proxy of the princess?
btw, I just peeked at the Upcoming song in the player. Can't wait.
-
BOS Flamin' Groovies, tho' it's still not the bustout I'm craving.
-
ooh yeah, Make it all right!
BOS Flaming Groovies!

And we weren't talking about Flamin' Groovies either. BOS #1 tho'
-
Power Pop!

Speaking of whom, where's that girl been lately? She's been missing out on all sorts of good stuff, and I'm curious to hear what the coverage of The Death of The King of Pop has been like abroad.
-
I didn't mean the Flamin' Groovies, but I'll give them a BOS vote. An ultimate party-starter of a record.

Yeah, I peeked after Shake Some Action started, so I know to what Gaz was referring now. Not an unusual pick for a girl from Bah-stin. But then, neither is Aerosmith.

So, did we miss something? 'cause I'm giving Aerosmith a WOS.
-
I can't get behind "Back In the Saddle Again" too much, but this does need a proxy for long-lost Beej.

Don't think so--Wild Cherry, Doobies, Groovies, Aerosmith is the running order so far I think.
-
Damn, this is AL's most Moreyesque set to date -- if she says "Rolie-coaster" I'll die laughing.
-
BOS2 to the rolly-coaster! Think AL'll pronounce it that way?
-
Digging deep into the DaveFave list here--but will she pronounce it "Rollee-coaster" on the backsell? ;)
-
HAH!!! Rollee-coaster pronunciation triple-JINX!! (Even if we did all spell it differently.)
-
great guitar riff of love, y'all!
-
HAH!!! Rollee-coaster pronunciation triple-JINX!! (Even if we did all spell it differently.)
TANC: Gregg Rolie will be at the Santa Cruz Beee-yotch Bored-Walk this month. Free concerts from old rockers rule!
-
This oughta cheer Mike right up!
BOS #2 Blondie.
-
"in your satin tights
fighting for yout rights"
OMFG -- uber-BOS2 "X Offender"!!!
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HY7vrbRS8hk/SCKUofGjUYI/AAAAAAAAB0w/6T-n1sxnTf0/s200/x+offender+2.jpeg)
-
X-Offender!
-

BOS #2 Blondie.
and this still isn't the bustout that's been sitting in the Upcoming window most of the set.
-
BOS2 X-Offender! The earliest occurrence of a Blondie tune by at least two years. Nicely done, AL!
-
Whoa,
Blow me
Away
With Blondie!
-
BOS3 Ramones!!! Just watched part of End of the Century on cable the other day.
-
CBGBs in the house! Blondie, and now the Ramones, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend! (Also the earliest occurrence ever per the DB, but only by a year on this one.)
-
BOS #3, and 2nd punk bustout in a row, "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend".
But that tune we've been waiting for is no longer in the Upcoming window. Ya think Annalisa changed her mind?
ETA: Nope, here it is. BOS #4 The Modern Lovers!
-
Ah, there it is!
One-two-three-four-five-six!!!
-
BOS2 X-Offender! The earliest occurrence of a Blondie tune by at least two years. Nicely done, AL!
indeed, a fab bustout -- except for one or 2 appearances on A-to-Z, and maybe as a bonus track, it's rare this ever appears anywhere.
BOS4 "Roadrunner", tho' it's not the version I prefer.

You wanted to hear "Jonuthun Richmuhh 'n th' Moduhn Luvuhhs," eh?
-
Wonder how many bay area kids first knew this as a Greg Kihn song? I think it was kind of a regional hit around 78 or 79 or so.

there's the version from Beserkeley Chartbusters (the better one, IMHO, a huge NY FM turntable hit) and there's this one which I think is from their own LP.
-
Holy crap! "Dance dance dance" -- and it ain't disco!
-
Holy crap! "Dance dance dance" -- and it ain't disco!
Come on darlin' put a purty dress on we're gonna give this BOS#5.
-
Nice close with Boz.
-
Holy crap! "Dance dance dance" -- and it ain't disco!
We've heard half a dozen songs off FLAE before--but never this one!
And another BOS for BOZ while we're at it. It's Over, a rarity but not quite a bustout.
-
Holy crap! "Dance dance dance" -- and it ain't disco!
BOS5 to that Miller just for ballsiness; BOS6 Boz, "It's Over"!
-
"It's Over" indeed!
no Roliecoaster, tho'.
-
HAH!!! Rollee-coaster pronunciation triple-JINX!! (Even if we did all spell it differently.)
Another first: Roll-er-Coaster.
-
counting the Beserkely connection, half of the set had Bay Area roots!

my first exposure to this song was Greg Kihn's version, although I heard it in Western NY.

I always thought it was Jonathan Richman. Did Kihn do it too?

Yes, Kihn and Jonathan were both on Berserkley Records at the time.
He covered it on a '79 album called "With the Naked Eye,"

I had never heard of Kihn until "Jeopardy" was all over MTV and Solid Gold. What was his rep in the years prior?
-

He was liked by his cult following and some critics for making stripped-down "real rock" -- not really new wave or punk but certainly not "corporate rock" either. He was known for his Springsteen covers like "Rendevous" (a Boss concert staple that Bruce himself never recorded) and "Growin' Up". I remember playing his early stuff on college radio in '77 -- the LP that included "Madison Avenue Man", which Dave played a couple times -- tho' he wouldn't make the album chart until the fall of '78 with Next of Kihn.

His big radio hit out here was Springsteen's "For You" This blog references a video, which no longer seems to exist:

Back in the beginning, it seemed to me that Springsteen was more of a songwriter than a singer. There were so many covers of his songs back then. I always prefered Patty Smith's version of "Because the Night" to Springsteen's. I know that's sacriledge, but...

Thanks, I thought "For You" was another one, but I couldn't find it in Whitburn's albums book because the first Kihn LP didn't chart.
