According to a promo I heard yesterday afternoon...
well, '88 and '98 are the only 2 years we haven't visited (add '64 if you think that's a possibility). Betcha we get a John Hughes-themed "Movie Monday" next week.

ooo! stuttery-computer-voice-guy is back!
"You Bettah RUN", sez Ms Benatar. BOS. 1980?
"ah can't stand YOU no mo'!"

I was thinking a tad later - maybe 82?

Right around there somewhere... BOS, PB.

BOS2 Heart-when-they-actually-rocked, "Even It Up".
-
BOS for Heart and "Even It Up". I have a soft spot for this song, because the Wilson sisters taught me how to sing it at the Experience Music Project. Sort of.
-
Maybe AL threw a curve -- actually a mystery theme set -- Chick Rock!
-
BOS Heart
are you sure she's not saying Eating It Up?
-
Maybe AL threw a curve -- actually a mystery theme set -- Chick Rock!
that would be fine by me!
-
I like the saxes at the end of this tune -- gives it a kind of George Harrison feel to it.
-
shrinky-dinks! George Costanza's favorite toys!
"Call Me" seals the deal: it's 1980. More Chick rock, tho'.
-
"Call Me" is 80, ain't it?
-

"Call Me" seals the deal: it's 1980.
The winnah!
AL did say it started with a long string of wimmin.
-
"Call Me" is 80, ain't it?
Ayup.
If this is going to be an all-ladies set, I'm hoping for Charlie Dore. Would Martha and the Muffins be date-appropriate?

appelle-moi, mon cherie, appelle-moi!

This "Girls' Talk" cover is NTM!

they would -- and they'd become AL's 2nd potential katrina.
OMG! Ms Ronstadt goes "New wave", much to Mr Costello's chagrin. VHM.
-
This "Girls' Talk" cover is NTM!
Me too -- is it Linda Ronstadt?
-
Maybe AL threw a curve -- actually a mystery theme set -- Chick Rock!
Maybe it's 1980 Chick Rock?
both Benatar & Heart were bustouts btw.
-
This "Girls' Talk" cover is NTM!
Me too -- is it Linda Ronstadt?
yes! I love this one. My first exposure to the song. BOS Linda Ronstadt. (never thought I'd type that.)
eta: and I'm positive I thought she cut this before 80, so I think it's chick rock, as they say
-

as is Linda, who was much underplayed by Dave.
-

there are 2 or 3 EC covers on this LP iirc, no? It was called Mad Love, I think.

Nope, it's from 1980, I just checked, and I was right about the EC covers, this was one of three.
-
now she's in purple, now she's a turtle.
Big huge BOS for Siuoxsie!
-
I don't recognize this ("Christine"?) song either. Siouxsie?
-
What the heck is this Christine song? Concrete Blonde? And what's that about bananas?
-

indeed, she did this, "Party Girl" and "Talking in the Dark" -- and had done "Alison" previously. And EC hated all of them.
BOS3 Siouxie!!
-
like this Christine song, BOSFRA
-
I don't recognize this ("Christine"?) song either. Siouxsie?
you're shocking me. The Ronstadt I can understand, but not this one.
Xanadu!! BOS4 ONJ/ELO!!
-
VHM to "Xanadu." Speaking of bad movies from the period, I showed my friend Andy the Sgt. Pepper movie last night.
-

betcha didn't know this:
Throughout its numerous lineup changes and textural shifts, the group remained under the leadership of vocalist Siouxsie Sioux, born Susan Dallion on May 27, 1958. She and the Banshees' initial lineup emerged from the Bromley Contingent, a notorious group of rabid Sex Pistols fans; inspired by the growing punk movement, Dallion adopted the name Siouxsie and formed the Banshees in September 1976. In addition to bassist Steven Severin and guitarist Marco Perroni, the band included drummer John Simon Ritchie, who assumed the name Sid Vicious; they debuted later that year at the legendary Punk Festival held at London's 100 Club, where their entire set consisted of a savage, 20-minute rendition of "The Lords Prayer."
Soon after, Vicious joined the Sex Pistols, while Perroni went on to join Adam & the Ants.

Oh my. Xanadu! I'm thinking Jeff Lynne had a lot to do with this.
But it's sure not Chick Rock

You're right - I didn't know any of that!

yes, I had my memories mixed up, I stand corrected. I can recall it around 1980 now.
So it seems like a combo mystery:
lady music from 1980?
-
Oh my. Xanadu! I'm thinking Jeff Lynne had a lot to do with this.
yup, that's ELO on backing, er, well, everything. There's an ELO-only version that KFOG has played during A-to-Z.
-
almost-female: Prince! BOS5 "Dirty Mind" -- a rarity if not a bustout.
-
VHM to "Xanadu." Speaking of bad movies from the period, I showed my friend Andy the Sgt. Pepper movie last night.
the 2, along with Can't Stop the Music are really a trimvirate of horrifying badness -- astounding, really, that they were all produced by major studios with big budgets.
-
Some remaining predictions:
some Pretenders for sure
Pearl Harbor & The Explosions - Drivin'
Donna Summer - On The Radio or The Wanderer
or how about Stephanie Mills - Never Knew Love Like This Before
-
BOS6 Bowie -- turn to the left! turn to the right!
-
Bowie BOS. Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion!
-
Some remaining predictions:
some Pretenders for sure
Pearl Harbor & The Explosions - Drivin'
Donna Summer - On The Radio or The Wanderer
or how about Stephanie Mills - Never Knew Love Like This Before
note that the two guys we've heard are both gender-benders. This has been a fabulous set, truly.

I was gonna add some B-52's and maybe some Donna Summer, but it seems the theme has changed.
I guess it's a Ladies First 1980 theme set.
Or else it's 1980 Chicks & Extremely Androgynous 1980 Males Set.

Hmmm, never thought of Prince as a gender-bender, though he certainly has a feminine voice on many songs.

dude, his whole early persona was "Is he straight? Is He gay?" mascara, etc.
BOS7 (!) Joy Division -- and again I HIGHLY recommend the Ian Curtis biopic Control if you've not seen it.
-
WOS Blues Bros -- a Drive fave.
"and don't call me Shirley!"

Well, all right, whatever.
BOS for the 1980 movie medley. It sure was a good year for movies that we still watch with some regularity.
-
uh oh, Blues Brothers alert!
Maybe all the acts have been on Saturday Night Live?

and it is Tom Hansen's favorite album cover:

he's wearing it in this scene and the younger Tom was wearing it in a flashback scene.

I love the Blues Brothers, and the movie is a true classic. I enjoyed seeing them on SNL and got "Briefcase Full of Blues", which is a great record. A real record.
-
LOL @ the Shrink-a-dinks. I used to love those things...however if I was introduced to them any older then they probably would have weirded me out. I tried looking for them about 10 years ago but they must have been discontinued... :(

I'd like to sound like Lou Marini, but how do I sound like him now? He doesn't say anything (hardly) in The Blues Brothers.

I enjoyed some of the first LP, and the movie is fun for the R&B cameos (Ray-Ray, Ree-Ree). But there's a lot of people who just hate the whole middle-class-white-guys-being-black vibe.
-
BOS to Linda Rondstat, VHM's to Siouxsie, Prince, and David Bowie.
-
But there's a lot of people who just hate the whole middle-class-white-guys-being-black vibe.
you mean Aykroyd & Belushi being middle-class or Elwood & Joliet Jake?

how about that climax? the car chase? the crashing in the mall? good stuff. John Landis directed, correct?

I refer you to Gaz, the premier B-Bros-hater on this board. But I heard "Rubber Biscuit" over the weekend and was reminded that it's really an awful cover of an awful song.

That's just mean. Like, waterboarding mean.

uh, yeah, I think perhaps the whole point of rubber biscuit was in context! Great band, I saw them live.

agreed -- and I'm not sure about Joy Division. A serious rarity if not a Bustout.

According to the Db, the bustouts were:
1. Pat Benatar - You Better Run
2. Heart - Even it Up
4. Linda Ronstadt - Girls Talk
5. Siouxsie & the Banshees - Christine
6. Olivia Newton John - Xanadu
9. Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
10. Blues Brothers - Sweet Home Chicago
surprised to find that "Xanadu" was a bustout, but in fact Dave only played 4 ONJ tunes & "Physical" was only as a HFH. Both Joy Division & Blues Bros aren't in the Db at all.

I know Dave's ONJ-of-choice was "Magic" but I'm sure he played "Xanadu" at least once, out of the db's scope, perhaps. I remember being surprised when KFOG played the ELO-only version of "Xanadu" during A-to-Z and thinking "but Dave played the ONJ version!"
