Beware the Men At Work my son...

Instead Dave joins the many radio jocks to play Beat It in the past 24 hours.

I guess "Beat It" should have been an obvious guess.

But show of hands: Who actually wanted 1983 today?

I was looking at the music log for NYC's "Jack" and at around the time of the verdict yesterday, they played, like, 5 MJ songs.

I guess radio stations have been hesitant to play MJ songs up until this point. So, there's like, been a build-up.

Well, since '83 is my high school grad year I can usually stomache a visit.

BOS Ms Summer. Pretty damn good record considering she was fulfilling a contractual obligation.  She worked hard, yuk yuk.

Listening to "She Works Hard for the Money" while sending out resumes and cover letters is mildly surreal and more than a little discouraging.

GAAAH! Phil Collins. The Dark Side of '83. At least for me.

I appreciate that -- but I don't have publications beating down my door to access my writing and editing skills.  :(

Scarlett Johannsen plays a clone in that new Michael Bay movie The Island

So, does Dave go out & pee while the long version of "Twilight Zone" is playing? That's about the only use I can think for it.

I'd bone a Johannsen clone in a NY minute (which, coincidentally, is about how long I'd probably last).

ZA-ZING! I gotta million of 'em!

Greetings from Microsoft!

Sitting here in a huge lecture hall listening to the Softies tell us how great XBox is & how great all of us suppliers are for helping htem build it.  Not a bad excuse for a trip to Seattle, actually, since I am not really allowed to do any work while I'm here.

your presence (we're always touched by it) is missed.  You're not missing too much, 1983-wise.

Bowie at the moment, "Let's Dance" -- I'd've preferred the Elmer Fudd version.

Serious moonlight is OK. But, I'd prefer wacky sunshine.

Oh, hell.  WOS to the Police just because Dave played them less than 10 minutes before 10@10 began.  Isn't that in violation of statutes?

But, we have decided that the most bonable clones are Johannsen Clones. Well, I think so at least.

Oh, gee- Sting. In an '83 set? That's NUTS!  :roll:

If Sting had known "Murder by Numbers" would be a Sandra Bullock movie -- would he have still written the song? Just askin'.

BOS 2 Madness, just 'cause it ain't "Our House".
Title: Tues June 14--and it's....1983
Post by: Gazoo on June 14, 2005, 10:35:46 AM
Ooh!  BOS to the little-known "Our House" followup, "It Must Be Love."  Actually made the Top 40.  Dippy lyrics but that sunshine-pop vibe is so giddy it's irresistible.

Post by: Beej on June 14, 2005, 10:37:31 AM
Madness is the best. If Dave ever plays "One Step Beyond" in a time-appropriate 10at10 I'd be a happy clone-boner.

It was first co-opted by Copycat, a good but gruesome film that really seemed to celebrate being a serial killer.  Very disturbing despite excellent acting by Sigourney Weaver, Holly Hunter and a real eye-opening turn by Harry Connick, Jr.

Or "On The Wings of a Dove".  I'd be happy for a week if he played that one.
