It's a good day for angry young men. Can EC be far behind?

And now it's the anti-Joe! BOS Local Girls! All hail GP!

Gigantic BOS for Squeeze's "Slap and Tickle". This never gets played, not even on RadioParadise.

indeed, BOS3 from me.

Right with you on that one. And the first bustout of the set, too!
-
Not really a squeeze fan, but it's nice not to hear Pulling Annie's Black Coffee Mussels for the umpteenth time.
-
holy crap! a Police bustout?? BOS(4)FRA "On Any Other day"
-
What is this Police-esque song? Sounds a little like Sting singing backup.
ETA: I see that's exactly what it is. I don't recognize it at all.
-
Whoa! Here's one I haven't heard since the mid-80s, at the latest. That line about "my fine young son has turned out gay" may not play too well these days though. Nonetheless, BOS3 for On Any Other Day.
-
BOS the Records, "Starry Eyes"!! Poptopia!
-

Starry Eyes indeed! BOS5 the fabulous Records -- is this a bustout? it's been a bonus a bunch of times.

You are dead on. It's a deep track from Regatta de Blanc, iirc. Stewart Copeland singing lead.
And while I'm here, uber BOS to the Records, Starry Eyes.

Indeed it is! (A bustout, that is.) Obviously AL digs it--and now that she's in the drivers' seat (cue Sniff 'n the Tears) we can hear it in the set proper.

Great pop song -- the Byrds would be proud.

6th Brit: "Cruel to Play Katrinas"

Yeah, yeah, we hear CtbK all the damn time--but how can you resist a hook like this one? The Brits just keep on coming!

Americans crash the party: BOS6 Blondie's ultrafab "Dreaming"

Well, the Brit streak ends, but the bustouts continue: Dave only ever played Heart of Glass and One Way Or Another in '79. VHM Dreamin'--and I'd love to hear Rip Her To Shreds sometime.
-
BOS7 "Boys Don't Cry".
-
This set is largely made up of the Bonus tracks that AL played following '79 sets for the last few years.

Woo Hoo!
I can't believe that the Records, Blondie & Cure are all bustouts (standard Db disclaimer). I would only have expected the Cure tune to be one. Pretty sure Squeeze was too, btu haven't checked yet.
BOS for just about everything
-
Holy Crap! Transmission by Joy Division
BOS .... and put down your pencils! Voting is over!

Yep, and the Police tune as well. All bustouts as far as I can tell.

Well, yes, but "Starry Eyes" is one we've all bitched about Dave never playing, and the fact that AL played it as a bonus a couple times only made its absence from actual sets more infuriating.
-
There was a hilarious bit on SNL about Three Mile Island featuring Dan Akroyd as Jimmy Carter. Remember? He was exposed to radiation and got really big -- Rodney Dangerfield was brought in to explain how big the president was. "Oh man, he's big. Like he could have an affair with the Lincoln Tunnel!"

BOS8 (!) and this really is a set for the ages -- gobsmackingly great.
-
All "New Wave" All the Time! When AL picks a theme, she sticks to it! fab fab fab.

I just accidentally hit the "report to moderator" button and got
You can't report your own post to the moderator, that doesn't make sense!
LOL!
-
You know it's an off the chart setlist when (by far) the weakest entry is "Hey, St. Peter".
Yes, it was GOOOOOOOD!
-
So only 1.5 of the songs were of US origin. (I'm giving the Police tune half-credit since it was sung by their token Yank.)

I'm curious what she's going to pull out for today's Bonus? Either something really really obscure...or maybe Supertramp? :o
ETA: And instead the pulls a left turn from the New Wave-a-thon of the set and goes for the Cheeze Styx. Oy.
Btw, the Bonus track hasn't been decided by foghead callers lately--AL is making the call here too. Maybe they're running low on new music samplers?
-
Wow, this is the first 70's set that I've actively enjoyed! (Although I guess it's not that far behind that 1980s set of hers, which not only was the first pre-1982 set I liked, I LOVED it! I didn't love this one quite as much, but it was still solid.) For one, it was good to hear a non One Way or Another/Heart of Glass/Rapture Blondie song...and a non Love Will Tear Us Apart Joy Divison song...and a non all-those-other-songs Squeeze song.
BOS: Joy Division.
WOS: Cure, and I finally figured out why it's their only non post-Disintegration single I hate, and that's because it's from the 70s. :P (I didn't know the Cure was around back then. & while Disintegration is IMO their greatest album, as a general rule, I abhor 97% of everything they've released after that.) Fortunately she lumped the few tolerable 70s songs into this set. ;)

actually, today's bonus track *was* decided by a Foghead - me!
I was driving & so figured on calling Annalisa to express my apreciation for the set. I had just gotten a ring when she said on air that she was torn between a cheesy #1 hit & classic live album. And then she picked up, so I asked her if I could help her decide & she said it was between "Babe" and something from Live at Budakan, and she admitted that she was leaning towards the latter. I said that I love cheese & besides, "Babe was THE high school slow dance for my graduating class. It was released just in time for Homecoming, then the Winter ball, and finally Senior Prom. I'd only gone to one formal before those three. But I went to all of those, and I also got invited to attend a prom at an all-girls prep school by a friend from my exchange student experience. So I can safely say that, upon the release of "Babe", I danced to that song, in a tuxedo, roughly every other month for the next 8 months.

yes, Babe was a nice cheese counterpoint to the set. nice.

I'd offer Sting circa 1979 a token yank.

Er, I guess that's supposed to be "strutting" into 1979, and not "stuttering" ;)
