Title: 10 February 2010: it's...1978
Post by: urth on February 10, 2010, 10:02:18 AM
Guessing 80s or 90s today.

Wrong again. Sigh.

But at least we get EWF's groovy workout on Got To Get You Into My Life to help me get over it.

Don't sigh, get high!  Nice TOTHK from EW&F.  My friend the Beatles purist could never stand this version, but I dig it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WOS "Dreadlock Overplay".

For a song that never made the Top 40, this is awfully popular across the board.

Btw, did y'all catch AL using the phrase "top of the hour kooker" in the backsell for yesterday's set?

BOS for EWF, eh for 10cc--fake reggae, as the long departed Rasztrelnikov often reminded us.

I believe that's "something harder", amigo.  BOS for Nick Lowe's quirking "Breaking Glass".  

And speaking of quirky, another BOS for Nick's mate Elvis.

I was just about to post that the piano on the Nick Lowe track sounded a whole lot like Steve Nieve from the Attractions, and here he is again, fondling his organ on This Year's Girl.

UltraBOS the Steve Nieve twin-spin!

You're essentially right, but I've Had Enough is the one on Quadrophenia; the Who Are You title omits the subject.

It looks like they're both called "Had Enough".  Interesting.  Oops, I take it back.  The Quadrophenia one is "I've Had Enough".

I had just looked it up, as I was making a post about it and suddenly realized "isn't Had Enough on Quadrophenia too?"  Which is how I discovered that bit of title near-duplication.

You are correct, sir.  And I'm embarrassed to have suggested it was on an album released in 1975.  And Day at the Races was in between those two.

I was noticing that too.  I think he's singing "He wants the sunshine AND his name"; i.e., he got a name, he got a name.

thanks, I might have gotten to listen today, but our standing 20 minute morning meeting at 9:30 didn't start until 9:55, and then it went for an hour.  Alas.

But I can't really complain too much.  The new job is going quite well.  Next week another 2 guys are coming on board and probably a 3rd within another couple of days.  So I won't be the new guy any more.

Just did a quick scan of the DB and no fewer than FIVE of today's songs were bustouts: EWF, Nick Lowe, The Who, Bob Seger, and Queen. The first two really surprised me--I'd swear we've heard both of those, but if we did it was in the period not covered in the DB, or confusing it with something Ginger played (still miss her spin on 10@10, btw).

Urth, I think either the EWF or the Lowe were played in the "missing" period -- I def remember hearing "Breaking Glass" before (recently, it seems) and thinking it was about time it showed up on 10@10.
