I have a weird feeling we're going to hear a recent Casey Kasem entry, Linda Ronstadt's "How Do I Make You."

Ha! Gov. Bill Clinton in 1980. "Touch & Go" coulda been his theme song, har har.

BOS3 B-52s when they were still fresh and delightfully different from everything else on the radio.

Speaking of fish, Cindy wants to give us some fish, among other things.  BOS for B-52s that is NTM.

WOS Cars.   This song was the precise moment when I knew I wouldn't like any of their subsequent material going forward.

"Give Me Back My man" -- which really shoulda been sung by Fred.

Holy crap! yet another Devo Bustout from AL -- BOS4 "Gates of Steel"
Title: Re: 23 March 2010: it's 1980
Post by: Davefish on March 23, 2010, 10:27:38 AM
Wow, another NTM song from Devo.  Good set, though these songs just aren't that good, despite being obscure.

What in the world is this?  Sounds a tad like the Trashmen, especially with the tremolo vocals.

who is this "Madman"?  NTM.  AL's sure making up for being less-obscure lately

yeah, gotta agree this is not very good.  So much great punk/new wave in 1980, I'm not sure what posessed AL to spin this.

Obscure Van Halen on the way here...

I take it back, this isn't obscure.  But boy, haven't heard this in yeeeeears.

"Everybody Wants Some" was used in the one weak scene, the animated part, in Better Off Dead (a fave movie of mine).
Title: Re: 23 March 2010: it's 1980
Post by: Tinka Cat on March 23, 2010, 10:35:09 AM
wasn't that the Cramps?  HMFRA

holee crap, I can post!

ok, making up for lost time:

I like the Motels, although my friend Bobby remarked that Martha Davis looks liek someone with whom you would bump carts at Ross Dress For Less.  We saw her at the Marin County Fair last year
After the first two AWESOME Cars album, all their other stuff pales, but Touch and Go was decent. Anytime Eliot Easton can hold forth with a nice tasty guitar solo is a good experience.

BOS B52s and Devo

some people think the animated part is the best scene in the movie. ;)

methinks you may be right -- wasn't "Goo Goo Muck", but, in that vein.


OMGWTF! Alice Cooper goes all Gary Numan on yo' ass with "Clones"

HMFRA: Alice Cooper's new-wave reinvention of his own, the confusingly parenthesized "Clones (We're All)."

Pretty deep in the bustout category there. I don't have the DB in front of me (I'm away from home for one more day) but I'd guess there were at least 3 or 4 in that set--Squeeze, B52s, Alice, Cramps--oh, and the Motels, so make it five.

I missed the last two weeks thanks to the freakin' weird ass Bush two-week early time change. Next year I won't get fooled (again)!
