Big hair, Blue Bowie.
and now Dolby gets hyper.
"This isn't any rap attack" -- you're tellin' me, white boy!

"I can reach into your homes, like an itch in your headphones."

only thing I like better than a good trumpet solo is a good trombone solo.
BOS Dolby

12 My Hometown
indeed, I'd've sworn we've heard "My Hometown", in conjunction with a political segue or two. And no "Glory Days" is kind of amazing.
-
Finally! It's been an entire week since we heard something not from the 60s or 70s! (I know most of you are not complaining, I however was livid. :P)
BOS Dolby, VHM Bruce.
Kind of a slow set so far. Even the new-wave ones were midtempo. I'd like to see her pick up the pace a bit.

I expect we'll be Mo-tor-in' soon!

Yikes, "Sister Christian" ain't gonna do it.
WOS to one of the most awful (and inexplicably beloved) songs of the decade. whotheFUCK ever used the word "motorin'" before this song came out?

Nice segue from JJ's piano ballad into the piano intro to this.
BOS, Broooooce.

far as I can tell this is only Annalisa's 2nd trip to 1984. By the time Dave had hit 1966 three times he'd visited 1984 a couple dozen times.

maybe they meant to say "you're moldering.."
-
You sure are motorin'.
-
BOS2, Beverley Hills Cop.
-
Eddie Murphy gets the BOS for sticking a banana in the tailpipe. "You take those bananas" One of my favorite lines.
And it goes from bad to worst with John Waite.
-
speaking of inexplicably loved...
-
VHM Eddie Murphy, pissing off the police
WOS2 John Waite, ripping off The Police.
-
LOL. I don't mind John Waite, and on a good day I'd VHM it but he's not going to help either.
-
tell you what we ARE missing, some kick-arse rock, OR some synth laden new wave..
OK -- the Smiths take care of what was missing for me.
Big ol' BOS!
-
Huzzah! finally something truly outstanding -- and a bustout? BOS4 the Smiths -- but I'm still fond of you, Morrissey. What a difference it *does* make!
-
BOS #5 The Smiths
breaking sports update, the Cardinals are playing a day game in Cincinnati & Chris Carpenter just hit a grand slam! He's also struck 3 of the first 6 batters & not given up a hit yet.
BOS #6 & probably my overall top pick R.E.M. "Pretty Persuasion". God how I loved their first 4 albums.
-
pretty persuasive VHM: REM
-
BOS for REM's jangly "Pretty Persuasion".
-
Shootin' out the walls of heartache. Bang! Bang!
This is some cheese I can get behind.
-
ah ayum da wah-wee-uh!
-
Scandalous! Patty Smyth's got some pipes...
-
Scandalous! Patty Smyth's got some pipes...
indeed, but ultimately another pretty face who married a rich guy (John McEnroe -- she cannot be serious!). Fun Fact: Eddie VanHalen asked her to replace DLR in VH, but she said no.
-
Oh, no. WOS to Scandal. She does the obligatory cheese every 80s set, of course, but most of them, even the bad ones, are at least interesting. Today's were not. Or maybe that's because bad cheese can be very tolerable in between synth new wave...but bad cheese sounds awful in between more bad cheese and/or mid-tempo rock songs. The Smiths couldn't save this set, and quite honestly sounded out of place here.
This is the first AL 80s set that's been a disappointment.

Oh yeah, I heard her once on Howard Stern talking about her married life w McEnroe. She was pretty cool. I'm sure they asked her about Tatum O'Neal, but of course Patty wouldn't bite. She was mum on Tatum. No scandals.

I see what you mean about the over all gist of this set... she's done better: last week's '87 set was one of my fave of the week. I would have preferred another Lou Reed cut, for instance.
-

BOS Dolby
LOL! Do you play either? My theory is that if you play trombone in the Bay Area, you can definitely get into a hip/wacky band somewhere.

I'm kind of surprised that "Glory Days" has never made 10@10. "My Hometown" seems like something Dave would have jumped on, but in all fairness, it was in my humble opinion one of the lesser tracks of this album.
-
Oh, no. WOS to Scandal.
I'm with you, but for solely this reason:
"Your eyes touch me physically."
EWWW!!

No, but my two brothers played each. Chris went & played trombone in the Stanford Band, and matriculated the year after The Play, so you could argue that he took over for the guy who got flattened in the end-zone. Davefish was also in the LSJUMB at that time, so I knew him through my brother initially (sorry D, if you read this, for bringing up painful memories) and then a few years ago he showed up on this board & we figured out that we'd known each other 20+ yrs earlier.
