I'm kinda expecting a heavier dose of late 80s & 90s this week, since we got off light last week.

On the other hand, considering the nuggets Dave's been pulling out of late, that may not be so bad after all. Let's hope....

Talk Talk.

followed by more Anglophilia: Simple Minds, "All the Things Chrissie Said in Our Pre-Nup".

They actually are English.  Talk Talk of course did "It's My Life" which Dave considers a perfect pop song.

And they are one of the few groups to have a hit song titled with the bands name.

LOL!

(but they're Scots, so Anglophilia is unlikely)

I kinda figured that's who they were.  I always wondered if there was a connection between the band's name, and the hit "Talk Talk" by the Music Machine in the 60's.

I'm hoping that last week was a reaction to MAX, and that it continues.  Remember when K-101 went all-'80s and we got nothing but '80s sets for weeks?  'bout time we actually benefit from a knee-jerk programming reacton!

BOS#1, Joe - "Right & Wrong"

When I saw him in concert (late '87 maybe) he did this song with just him singing & Graham Maby on the bass, stamping his foot for percussion.  Tres cool.

Dave should use the bass intro of this song to segue into any & all newsclips of Ronnie talking in every 10@10 set.

beautifully-timed seg from Ronnie to JJ.  And more politics from Sting!  Dave must be in a mood...

Oh, yay! Sting's here to tell us how bad nuclear war is! He saved us all back in the 80s! Hurray for Sting!  :roll:

I'm having a crappy Tuesday. I hope it gets better.

I'm home with a feverish 3-year old who is downstairs watching a DVD.

OMG, Dave has answered one of my prayers!  It's "Rat In Mi Kitchen"!

Pop quiz, (assuming he doesn't play an edited version), who does the trumpet solo at the end of this?

ooo! Dave IS in a mood.

"This is not a plant closing, this is a loss of one product line."

which coincidentally requires the closing of a plant...

There's a rat in the kitchen, all right.

UB40, title track.  This is a great album, start to finish, & terribly underrated in the US.

LOL! Right on. I mean, I hope he feels better soon and all but the mental image of you Tom-Cruising around your livingroom singing "Old Time Rock & Roll" has cheered me up considerably.

I am actually still in my pajama pants (the ones I got for Christmas, dark red flannel with little snowflakes, stars & rheindeers on 'em) & a t-shirt.  Before I was blowin' the air-trumpet, but now I gotta go do the Robert Palmer sexy-babe two step!

"You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep"

I've always thought "... you're in heat" would not only make more sense but actually rhyme.

BOS #3, Mick Hucknall's timeless vocals.  I remember being stunned to find out he was not only white, but a curly-red-haired Brit.

btw, we've had Simple Minds & Simply Red in this set, any other tie-ins possible?

Hey, when dogs start buying albums? The industry will write lyrics that apply to them.

Heh.  :D

one of the perks of being on A&M -- ya never knew when the head of the label would want to contibute a bit o' trumpet to yer LP. Just ask Janet (Miss Jackson if yer nasty).

Woo Hoo, Lyle Lovett, "You Can't Resist It". BOS #4!  From his eponymous debut album.

This has been a far-better-than-average 1986 set.  Even this Bryan Adams & Tina Turner duet is sounding better than usual in this mix.

Post by: urth on May 31, 2005, 10:42:38 AM
Def. BOS to Lyle Lovett, but this has been pretty strong set for 86.

Nicely timed segue to the Bryan Adams tune, too. The intro to the latter was right in tempo with the end of the Lyle song.

BOS for me too. VHM for the Tina half of this Bryan/Tina duet.

Didja know Bryan Adams and Def Leppard are playing at the minor league baseball field in SJ, where the SJ Giants play?

Get headphones. Draws less attention and you can crank it up pretty loud.

Indeed -- unless Ali means she has no sound card at all, which is unlikely these days but not unheard of.

They also are a good way to shut out chatty cube-mates. (This is the first place I've ever worked (besides a record store) where I was encouraged to listen to music while working. Really.)

Lord I hope not. It's a new computer. I don't have earphones w/a long enough cord. Maybe a Walkman but don't want new people to feel I'm shutting them out yet. :wink:

I've got to jump through hoops for my bureaucratic masters this morning. I'll be slaving over a copier. Hopefully, my radio will get reception. But, I won't get to talk to y'all in "real time". Stupid bureaucrats.
