Title: 8 June 2010: it's... 1980
Post by: RGMike on June 07, 2010, 08:14:35 PM
not the most promising array of FB requets, but I have faith in AL.

ETA: I'll be listening, but probably not posting unless I hear something really gobsmacking.

I think this is probably a good time to switch to glide.

I used to skip to Glide on Sunday mornings.

to a lot of gay guys, "Glide" is a lubricant.  Nice to actually hear this song from a Tuesday point of view.

Well, I've never tried skipping on Glide. That sounds a bit dangerous. I probably wouldn't be able to stand up for falling down (first BOS of set for me).

probably, tho' some think "Video Killed the radio Star" says VCR when they were actually saying "put the blame on VTR" (Video Tape Recording).

VHM to the Ballad of Ballard, HM to Broooce, but nothing sounds like a BOS today.

BOS2 Broooooce.  I nearly requested "any non-single from The River" but asked for Elvis C instead.

Although lots of well-worn tunes in this set, I'll BOS Pete Townshend, The Kings, The Jam and The Dan.


That sounded like an alt take of That's Entertainment.
