Title: 11 Aug 2010: it's... A Mystery Year (1983)
Post by: RGMike on August 10, 2010, 08:42:02 PM
I'm guessing it'll be something '90s, with '80s Thurs and (presumably) HFH on Friday the 13th.

I like this one.  Great bass playing, especially near the end.  I guessed 83 or 84, leaning towards 83.

I guess so  ;)

I like that "news" quote: "Nothing is as good as it ought to be, but it's much better than it was."

This is what the eighties felt like to me.  Though I didn't like most of it.  I like this one.

By the way, did I tell you that I saw Narada playing drums for Jeff Beck at the Masonic a few months ago?  A great show.

In their earliest incarnation, KFOG was all over this one, so you'll probably find a lot of long-time locals who have a soft spot for it.

BOS1 Worlds Away, BOS2 the Kinks (natch).

Narada for me too, but I love the epic feel.  reminds me of Ultravox.  This set has been great so far, and if anyone has my permission to break the string of new waviness, Ray Davies can.  Although he certainly does cram some awkward narrative lyrics into Don't Forget To Daunce.

OTOH, I've never quite taken to this particular take on delerium.

Big Rick and co. used to play it on KITS.  Not a huge alt hit, no.

Yes I see a theme here:  now we have the Canadian rocker who occasionally sounds like a wailing wounded cat who's not Geddy Lee...  nice AL!

Ending on a strong rockabilly note, between the Stray Cats and Neil & the Shocking Pinks' Payola Blues.

ETA: Whatever this following the Neil song has me stumped.

BOS for Risky Business.  

I didn't get to listen to this but this would be my year.

Risky Business was great for to umm..."look at" Rebecca DeMornay (despite who her father is, Wally George).
