Apparently AL will be revealing Monday's year at the end of the marathon each Saturday, in case you miss the promos.
-
so, is this the end of Althea? I wonder if she's into it like Dave was. It was the only place I ever heard it on the radio. Yeah, yeah, I know that's a good thing for some of you, but I'm just wonderin'.
-
OMFG! AL plays "Echo Beach" a bustout TOTHK (and BOS) for the ages!
-
Echo Beach? Could this be Martha and the Muffins?
ETA: YESSSS!
Seems to me AL played this as a bonus track a time or two.

wrong Martha. Whatever happened to her?
-
OMFG2 and BOS2 too: "Twist And Crawl" -- proxy of shray while we're at it.
-
BOS2 Twist and Crawl! English Beat at their best!
-
BOS3 "Broken English", tho' it's technically a '79 tune.

Au contraire, mon frere! (Pardon my French.) That's exactly the Martha to whom I was referring.
-
BOS Broken English!!
-
Oy vey!!! Marianne Faithfull! Broken English! Another big sledgehammer along with the Beat and M&M tunes. BOS3!
-

I'm not fond of this one. BOS for Twist and Crawl though.
-
I knew a young couple w a toddler who moved to Love Canal after this whole fiasco b/c the houses were cheap. Well.... YEAH, contaminated land probably would be "cheap" in the short term...!
Not sure what happened to them. :-[

does anyone else know what this drum intro seems to be from, but isn't?

Somehow I just knew that was the one...
BOS4 Devo, Freedom of Choice!

not offhand, but BOS to Devo!

in ancient Rome
there was a pome.
BOS4 Devo!
-
"I wanna sing like LaGuardia"
er... what?
VHM not-overplayed Cars!
-
Believe it or not, the Devo tune was not a bustout--Dave had played it once before, about two years ago.
Wow, even this Cars tune isn't sounding so bad, just 'cause it hasn't been played to death. Def takes me back to the fall of '80. But I still can't bring myself to give it a BOS tag.

gimme some slack Jack!
HM to the oft-dissed Cars!

It'll be a COLD day in hell before I say anything nice aboot Geddy & Co.
"Rough Boys" is the closest to a katrina so far -- which is saying something.
-
another BOS to
Rush Rough Boys.

BOS5 Pretenders. "baby... oh, sweetheart!"

VHM Pretenders
all so very run of the mill indeed!

Thanks! got in late, only heard the second half of Devo.

I tried to kill a gopher yesterday, but he was too fast for me!

this set is up there, Althea's absence notwithstanding.
I was lucky enough to see the Pretenders before half the orig lineup died off. One of my fave concerts.
-
BOSWhatever (6 I think) to the Pretenders, Up the Neck. Also not a bustout, but only played twice in new sets (and twice in classics). 1980 was a pretty great year for rock music, as this set is demonstrating.
-
Wow! BOS6 OMD, "Enola Gay". I am MOST impressed this morning.
-

I decided on an impulse to see them this summer at the Mountain Winery. I've never been a big fan, but they are legendary at this point. Hope it's good...

I saw them open for U2 at Oakland Stadium; I don't remember which members were still alive then. I think that was the Joshua Tree tour
-
OMG for OMD!
BOS "Enola Gay"
-

I saw 'em a couple of times in 81 and early 82 as well. Great, great band--they're still darn good but now it's all about Chrissie--back then they were a band.
-
Wow! BOS6 OMD, "Enola Gay". I am MOST impressed this morning.
I wonder how many fans of OMD know what the Enola Gay was!
;)
-
VVHM for Solid Rock!

The two guys who died, Pete Farndon and James Honeyman-Scott, died within a couple of months of each other in 1982. Drugs and/or drink, iirc.
ETA: I stand corrected on the dates. Honeyman-Scott died in June '82 of a cocaine OD. Farndon died in April of '83, OD'ing on heroin. In my mind they were closer together.

iirc there were personnel changes before the deaths too.

indeed, i worked with a guy who had no idea and thought "Enola" was an anagram for "Alone" -- "alone gay", so he thought the song was fraught with meaning that it didn't actually have.
VHM "Solid Rock".
And I also saw the Pretenders a couple times in '80 and '81; including a Central Park concert that gave rise to the great mondegreen "Mystery G-Man", yelled out repeatedly by the idiot sitting behind me.

that sounds correct. Farndon chewed gum the whole time onstage. At one point he had to remove it (for some extended backup vox) so he stuck it on the mic stand. Song was finished and the gum went back in. I also recell him spitting the gum high overhead and then catching it w his mouth. he also crawled inside the speaker cabinet on the side of the stage, playing the whole time. What a bad boy. James H-S was freaking incredible that night, too. We were about 10 yards directly in front of the stage and one of his extended solos used the stereo effect to great ... effect. :-\ good times.
-
Hey, the end was better without the robot saying "that was all right, wasn't it?" By the way, did anybody ever figure out the story of last Friday's "Massachusetts"? It still sounded like the Bee Gees to me, but I've been wrong before.

I remember Farndon and his gum as well. I seem to recall they used it to end a couple of songs--he'd spit it high in the air, and the instant he caught it was the last beat of the song. He definitely played up the bad boy thing.

Yeah, she's pared that down to just using the sound effects from the end of a video game I can't recall (PacMan maybe?).
As to the BeeGees quandary, the posted setlist attributed it to "A.M.P." but none of us has been able to turn up anything about them.

AL "Squeeze"s out a bonus: "Another Nail"

AL "Squeeze"s out a bonus: "Another Nail"
yeah, and the foghead "weiner" passed up the chance to play Joy Division .. typical. Of course, we all know "Joy Division" on KFOG -- and most stations -- means Love Will Tear Us Apart again.
-
I woke up to the alarm clock radio @ 10 and found out it was 1980 so I was planning on hitting the snooze and sleeping through it (because usually they don't get interesting to me until 1982) but the first song was good so I figured I'd hit the snooze after it, but the second song was good too...and it was one good track after another! Enough to keep me fighting to stay up in bed all hour so I could hear the next track.
BOS's to Martha and the Muffins, Marianne Faithful, The English Beat, Devo, Dire Straits, and OMD (I didn't realize "Enola Gay" was from as far back as 80!" And umm... VHM to everyone else. 8)

Of course--that's the only song they recorded, right? ;)

heh, that was pretty much my exposure to them until I heard things like Control and Transmission on college/internet radio stations, which happened within the past 10 years or so, well past the time of their short career. Then I watched the movie Control and got interested in more ... like Dead Souls.

7/6/09 - Monday! Good times in...1980!!!
1. Martha & the Muffins - Echo Beach
2. Police - Canary in a Coal Mine
3. English Beat - Twist and Crawl
4. Marianne Faithfull - Broken English (BEST OF SET!!)
5. Devo - Freedom of Choice
(Ads: Shrinky Dinks/Zim Zam/Pontiac Trans Am)
6. The Cars - Gimme Some Slack
7. Pete Townshend - Rough Boys
8. Pretenders - Up the Neck
(Movie: Caddyshack)
9. O.M.D. - Enola Gay
10. Dire Straits - Solid Rock
BONUS TRACK (From Catherine in Los Altos): Squeeze - Another Nail For My Heart
-
Tuned in about 10 minutes before tonight's replay. The song that directly preceded the set was Kid from the Pretenders' first album, the same album that yielded Up The Neck, which was tune #8 in the set.
So glad they pay attention there at KFOG.
ETA: Btw, there were five bustouts in the set today (Martha&Muffins, EBeat, MFaithfull, Cars, and OMD) and one more song that had only appeared once previously--Devo. And the Townshend tune was not the biggest frequent flier of the set--that honor goes to Dire Straits' Solid Rock, by a factor of two.

does anyone else know what this drum intro seems to be from, but isn't?
I finally figured it out. I thought the drum intro sounded like Cream's NSU:
