Turning Japanese for the TOTHK.

Turning Japanese for the TOTHK.
and Annalisa gave someone a b-day shoutout. maybe not the first, but still pretty rare for her. although she did tell me that she'd consider doing a b-day set for my son Adrian after he won those Doobies tix.

Pete's turning Japanese while thinking about those Rough Boys! Give him a hand!

Maybe the rough toys under the sheets were made in Japan?

I know "Rough Boys" is not on this album, but playing Pete after "Turning Japanese" made me think of this.

I got one back in September--all I did was ask. But you're right--she doesn't make a habit of doing them. I can recall only 2 or 3 others since she took over.
Wow, this *def* sounds like my 1980. BOS1 Genesis, Behind the Lines, from their last decent album.
-
VHM Genesis when they were still bearable.
-
Tom Hanks made a rough girl, that's fer sure!
-
BOS the great Bosom Buddies; BOS2 Pointers, "Only a Fool Would Believe He's So Shy"
-
VHM Bosom Buddies. Tom Hanks when he was young and funny. And Donna Dixon was HAWT--then she became Mrs. Dan Aykroyd. Anyone know if they're still married?
-

I'd argue 2nd to last decent album, but will second the BOS.
BOS #2 for Devo!

TANC: I'm in the middle of a Pointer Sisters post on the BIBT blog.

One more hallmark of '80: Devo. (Saw them at the Warfield that year, before Freedom of Choice was out.) Can't seem to get away from those guys lately. BOS2 Girl U Want.
-
BOS for DEVO!
I regret not seeing them last week, they were in town doing a couple album shows....
-
And Donna Dixon was HAWT
she's just the girl U want! BOS3 Devo -- damn, AL has played more Devo in 5 months than Dave did in 20 years!
-
Devo takes me back to high school art class for some reason
-
BOS to B-52s!!! I'm gonna kiss ... YOUR PINEAPPLE!!!!!
-
OMFG! BOS4 B-52s!! I wanna kiss your PINEAPPLE!!!

Big year for nerd/geek/alien rock. another BOS to B52s.
Will chk the DB later, but wonder if we've ever heard Dance This Mess Around on 10 at 10? That's one of my faves.

I bet it's ABACAB. The album called Genesis was pretty good...

I'd guess "no" for reasons stated above.
and don't call me Shirley!

Dave played four different Devo songs between '03 and '08, but Whip It was by far the most common. Workin' In a Coal Mine was second, while Girl U Want had two plays and Freedom of Choice just one.
WOS Kenny Loggins, but VHM for the gopher.
-
WOS Kenny Loggins, one of the more inexplicably beloved songs I can think of.

actually the girl they wanted was Sharona - this was a deliberate songwriting attempt to be like The Knack. (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=33:fzfixzq0ldde)
and yes, Danny & Donna are still married. Anyone interested in some good Aykroyd anecdotes should find Tom Davis' (as in 'Franken and ___') recent autobiography, 39 Years of Short Term Memory Loss. In addition to all the expected dish on SNL & Franken, turns out he was best friends w/Aykroyd & they had all kinds of globe-trotting adventures. Plus Davis was apparently very tight with both Timothy Leary & Jerry Garcia. A very humorous read in a surprisingly understated writing style.

Aww...no love for Invisible Touch? :( ;)
That's my fav. album of theirs, I can dig this one though, I'll VHM it.

*raises hand and nods while tapping foot in time to this gopher rock song*
-
ooo! AL gives us a BJ, but don't axe me why.
-
now here's a song I used to get behind not liking. BJ and this rhythm do NOT go together!
-
I figured she'd play the obligatory Devo as she has done so far in every set circa 1980. Not my favorite song from that album though.
Now I wonder if she's going to throw in some obligatory Cars too.
BOS to the B-52s! They were so much better pre-Love Shack/Roam era...
-
Lord knows I'm not the biggest fan of Billy Joel, especially after he hit it big, but I feel compelled to give a BOS to this one. 'Don't Ask Me Why'...more for the guitar strumming than the steel drums.
-
now here's a song I used to get behind not liking. BJ and this rhythm do NOT go together!
as noted above, I had the precise opposite reaction.
-
BOS Althea!

well, I acknowledge that a musician can appropriate genres and make a song that's well done, but something about this bugged me. It's instrumentation was great, but he should stick to Levittown rhythms -- :)
-

yes, she has been heavy on the Rod lately.
-
shouldn't AL have followed Mt St Helens with "Throwing Stones", aka "ashes, ashes"?

ETA: and Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes" actually *is* from 1980

I'll withhold my opinion of Invisible Touch, but suffice to say, no, no love for that one. Not even a little.
Duke (the album that included Behind the Lines) was their last gasp as a prog band imo. Even though it contained some pretty big singles (Turn It On Again, Misunderstanding), there was still a fair amount of extended instrumental bombast as well to keep their core fans engaged. On Abacab they turned a corner and just did pop songs, which may have had some elements of prog, but were shorter and more melodic. They definitely weren't the same band after Duke.
Wow, speak Jerry's name and Jerry shall appear. Nicely done, Shray.

VHM Steve Forbert, even if this was once something of a Moreytrina.

Completely underwhelmed by everything after the B-52s. Her first 1980 set = amazing. This one = meh, it was alright.

From the Wikipedia page for Duke, a better explanation of what I was trying to get across:
Duke is regarded as a transitional Genesis album, incorporating both elements of dense and elaborate instrumentation associated with the band's 1970s era material and glimpses of their future 1980s pop melodies and hooks. It's therefore become regarded as the album where many Genesis fans would draw the line between the "old" and "new" Genesis. Duke showed both sides of the band's music, containing both short radio-friendly pop tunes (e.g. "Misunderstanding") as well as lengthy progressive rock suites (e.g. "Duke's Travels"). Hence, Duke enjoys the anomaly of being simultaneously regarded as either the band's last progressive outing or their first pop-oriented release.

heh, not the Song-U-Want, eh?
these guys rocked pretty hard, I loved them. It would've been great to see them at the Regency Ballroom, but tix were 40 (or maybe 50) and above, I think (sort of like the age of the band members). gotta budget those rock dollars in these times!

maybe Devo 2.0 will tour again -- might be cheaper.

Heard from some friends that went that they played the evening's designated album, but not much more. The main set consisted of Q: Are We Not Men? or Freedom of Choice, respectively, and that's it. Add two songs for the encore and that was the entire show. Under an hour, both nights.

not much quantity, but I hope the quality lived up to expectations. And there probably were a lot of expectations at a show like this.
