welcome back, anyway!

"Our Lips Are Sealed": a fine TOTHC; hope this ain't the usual early-'80s Katrinafest.

As I said in my now-deleted other thread for today's set:

Could be good, could be ehhh.

Starting with the Go-gos. Ehhh.

Not a bad day for a meeting.

BOS "Cuban Slide".  some spectacular breakout will have to appear to change that vote.

Or maybe it is--digging Cuban Slide quite a bit. VHM to the Pretenders, possible BOS depending on the rest of the set.

Eeew, Abacab. The Cuban Slide BOS potential just went up by about 15 percent.

Nice segue from the Speak and Spell ad to an otherwise blase Alan Parsons tune (how many songs are there called "Games People Play" anyway?)

Well, you knew there would be Cars...

HM for reminding me of better days.

when you get caught between a "Sally" and New York City... you should actually play the Christopher Cross song instead of segue-ing into Joe Walsh.

Almost wish Dave would actually play the Christopher Cross tune, just for variety's sake.

OK, Joe Walsh, Life of Illusion. Not a bad song, but it brings up scary memories. Remind me to tell the story on Saturday.

What the hell song is this? (The "happens all the time...it's gonna happen, happen..." one). Like Pinball a week ago, I have never heard this.

Well, I've never heard this "Happens All the Time" song before. I'll HM for that alone!
Title: Tuesday, it's 1981

it's gonna happen, happen -- who is this? god, that voice is familiar.

Dave's stumped all of us!

the waiting to find out who it was is the hardest part...

CBB, "I Love You" -- didn't Dave play this in the last '81 set too? Sure seems like it was recent.

OK, so I've been listening to the show while doing the 3 S's getting ready for the conference.  Quick notes:

I would have much rather heard all of "Arthur's Theme" than the Joe Walsh.

Segueing from Reagan's family planning cutbacks into things-just-happen: Gene Yuss.  That song was cool, too: anyone else hear a bit of Queen's "I'm Going Slightly Mad" in there?

BOS to Climax Blues Band, presumably a proxy from Mshray for that one as well.

Least necessary: "Vienna", one of Dave's prime 1981 'trinas.  The opening of it always makes me think (hope) that it's early OMD.

The Undertones -- I knew the voice (Feargal Sharkey) was familiar!

So who-the-fuck is Gene Yuss?

The Undertones--I remember the name but the song is a stumper. A Narada if there ever was one.

And Dave sez "Vienna" is "very tasteful." OK, whatever.

mshray, when you're back from the meeting -- FYI this week's Little Steven show was a salute to the Who. Unfortunately, the Bone fucked up and re-ran last week's Mother's Day show Sun nite.  So I'm gonna try and check out the 'oo via his website.

indeed: I know them and they got airplay back then -- but I'd never heard that song.  Has Dave ever played their much-better-known "Teenage Kicks" ?  I'll have to bring Feargal Sharkey's criminally underrated solo LP on Sat.

I don't know if Dave's played it but that title rings a bell.

And I feel like a big goob for thinking Gaz was supplying the name of the guy who did the song (Gene Yuss)! He was, in fact, commenting on how cool the seque was.

Do not ask for whom the tambourine jingles... it jingles for THEE!

Was that the tune that John Peel said was better than any other song ever? Great song.
