Title: 18 August 2009--it's...1982
Post by: urth on August 18, 2009, 10:02:28 AM
Sounds like we get to hear the whole set today anyway, instead of commercials ad nauseam.

One of my most dreaded years in the Morey era. Let's see what AL can do with it.

Hrm. .38 Special. Not an auspicious start.

Three words: Men. At. Work.

Also it tended to come up on the wheel far more often than the later 80s years. I seem to recall that for several years '82 was the most frequently occuring year.

Now I see urth's point: "Hold Me" is a major Moreytrina from this year.

Only thing of any note so far was the Simple Minds. The .38 Special was a bustout (Dave only ever played Hold On Loosely) but it was still .38 Special, i.e. shitty.

another Moreytrina: Ultravox.

Reap this!    :P   ;)

eta:  yeah, Morey did play this a lot.  He also played Vienna (different year, though, I think), but I'll give BOS to this.  Bought it on cassette, but the rest of the album was weak.

Yep. Dave used to play it in '83 rather than '82, but it's got 8 appearances in the DB, which makes it close to a K if not one officially.

And now we get the Cars--is AL purposely trying to grate on our nerves? If so she's doing a really good job.

This was one of my favorite years from the Dave era.  New wave central indeed!

OMG!  My favorite song by my favorite band...Someone Somewhere in Summertime!  ;D (Barely edging out See the Lights.)  BOS of the year.

VHM to Ultravox.

Going against public opinion...BOS2 to the Cars ;)  I agree most of their songs are kinda annoying but this is one of their better ones IMO (Along with Tonight She Comes & Heartbeat City)

the "shooting of Buckwheat" bit was from '81, no?  Because I remember it was a parody of Lennon/Reagan shootings and I thought "damn, it's too soon"

OMFG!!! "Gloria"!!! uber-BOS!!!

This may have been the most Morey-like set Annalisa's done in the 2 1/2 months she's been on the job. Even the bonus track was a Dave fave (and probably a bigger K than anything else she played): Talk Talk by (of course) Talk Talk.

Oh, and a quick note of welcome to the two "new guys" here--always good to get some fresh blood in the conversation, and having a couple of 80s fans will liven things up here for sure.

Yesterday's set was also kinda Dave-ish (except for the welcome Mink DeVille bustout). I hope the suits haven't been on AL's case for being too obscure.  The instrumental set tomorrow will be interesting. I sent her some never-played-by-Dave suggestions:

Herbie Hancock: "Rockit"
Harold Faltermeyer: "Axel F" (from "Beverly Hills Cop")
Focus: "Sylvia"
They Might Be Giants: "Dog on Fire" (aka the closing theme from "The Daily Show" -- not sure how hard that is to find)
Mike Post, "Hill Street Blues"

Now THAT'S what AHM talkin' 'bout! "Gloria" rules.  I remember being in my car one evening in '82 and hearing it for the first time and thinking "Awesome! a new Donna Summer single!" And then the jock said it was Laura Branigan and I said "Laura who??" -- I was stunned that it wasn't Ms. Summer.

There is a Katrina from I believe 1982 that for the longest time I thought was Branigan but was in fact Summer.
