Title: 5 March 2010: Is it an Oscar set? No, it's.....1985!!!
Post by: radical347 on March 05, 2010, 10:03:36 AM
OMG, 2 80's sets AND a 90s set in the same week.  When was the last time that happened?  RadicalDigits is very happy.  ;D

Sounds like REM to kick things off.

Philomath is where we'll go.

I'm quite surprised at the lack of a movie themed set.  Ya think there's friction between the Morning Show and 10@10 now that they have different hosts?

Why would you think that?  (no sarcasm, in case it sounds that way)

Good TOTHK from REM.  I've been humming "South Central Rain" since last night, so it's nice to knock that outtathere.

I've heard many party bands do this over the years, but have only heard New Order's version twice.

I just wonder about programming not wanting to duplicate things or prevent overkill -- "no, AL, you can't do an Oscar-themed 10@10 because the Morning Show is doing 4 hours of movie-related Request-O-Rama".  When Dave hosted both shows the dynamic was a bit different.

Since moving to OR I snicker whenever I hear that line about Philomath in "Can't Get There From Here." I don't think Stipe was singing about the one near Corvallis:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philomath,_Oregon

But Rastermon probably know more about it than I do.

Who's this doing tune #2? Like it but don't recognize it.

You may be right--the backing track sounded decidedly un-Gilmourian. Guess we'll have to wait for the backsell to find out.

Just checked AMG, neither had an album out in '85, but both did in '84, and BC also had one in '86.  But I know both those Cockburn albums quite well, so I think it must not be him.  If it's Gilmour, perhaps it is the track called "Murder".

Sly Fox charted across the new year, so it's legal, but big oops on the ABC.  I will have to consider BAD as my special song, and maybe a slight nod to the movies afterall.

Whether or not that's the right ID, the guest musicians on the Gilmour album are noteworthy. 

Per AMG:
"Gilmour has a stellar band backing him, including Jeff Porcaro (drums), Pino Palladino (bass), and Anne Dudley (synthesizer)...including the gorgeous "Murder," a gentle acoustic track that explodes with some fiery organ by Steve Winwood and concludes with a fierce coda."

The thing that really kept reminding me of BHC was the synth-laden soundtrack, which, to my ears, worked better in BHC.  Also, the mansion that is the scene of the climax of BHC shows up in the climax of Fletch!  I swear it's the same mansion.

For some reason he brought up Country Dick in some other context, and then Kottke (paraphrased) said:

"One time I was in Germany in some ancient ratskeller venue, partially below street level, where the walls in the bathroom were old mortared stones.  And on one of the stones I saw graffitti that read, 'This stone is 1,000,000 years old.  And today is it's birthday'.  And I KNEW that Country Dick Montana had been there."

And what the hell did she say?  Mason and Finn? "Lie for a Lie"?

ETA: from Wikipedia, it's Mason and Fenn, the Fenn being from 10CC.  And the song in question does include Gilmour on vocals but not guitar.  So there you go.
