The rock will cure your ILLS, mon!

Proxy of Mshray and, well, pretty much everyone else - this seems to be the most universally acclaimed song in the Clubhouse.

Two pretty damn fine examples of '79 so far--I Do the Rock and ZZTop's reemergence, before they found sequencers, Cheap Sunglasses.

Anyone else getting buffering problems? I've had two episodes so far--not terrible, but cause for concern.

I'm here now, but missed the TotHK, so thanks for the proxy.  Looks like my schedule has changed enough that I can participate a little more regularly again.

Update: Dropped the stream entirely at the end of ZZT, and missed the beginning of Lene Lovich, too.

Still, a thumbs up for everything so far. I think AL played this once previously, no?

VHM, M. All but the ZZT were on my very first "When New wave was New" mixtape -- methinks a CD version is in order now that I can burn.

Agreed, but my player has punted the stream for a fourth time. Missed the end of the Squeeze tune, and the beginning of the Police. Heavy dose of the Nuevo Wavo today, save for the ZZTop.

I have this on an compilation disc, Sedated in the 80's: Vol. 3.  Never realized it was actually from the 70's.  I also have Vol 2, and between them they also have the Lene Lovich & Patti Smith & Flash tunes as well.

Funny stuff, but it would be nice if the writers could, y'know... spell. (it's "lawsuit", not "law suite", and I can't tell if Anthony Newley's name is misspelled on purpose or not).

I saw that.  I wonder if law "suites" is actually another level of the joke.. if so, I don't think it works.
