Title: 17 Feb 2011: It's... 1981!
Post by: sundaygal on February 16, 2011, 05:02:35 PM
All is well - Miss AL is taking requests on FB.  Phew...

Bust out the leg warmers!
I've requested Haircut 100, Altered Images and OMD.  Like, OMG.  :)

Woo Hoo!  

but apropos of Swellegant's comment yesterday... someone actually requested "Winnning" by Santana.  ::)

"Winning" has been requested at least two times, along with "Who's Crying Now", "Cool Love", "Slow Hand" and "The Breakup Song". If "Kiss On My List" gets played, I will boycott this year (that's the only song for which I've gotten into an auto accident while listening to).

Well, after three days of not taking requests, she sure got a hell of a lot of 'em for this set. Guess people were saving 'em up. Too bad 95% of what they're asking for is crap.  Man, you'd think some of these folks *never* listen to the radio.

My luck, Thursday is the first day this week I haven't had something to do or someplace to be at both 10am and 10pm. I'll have to trust AL to pull the gems out of this pile of dreck.

Dave used to play part of this "Searchin" song in Mystery Year sets. Santana? At least it ain't "Winning".

Oh dear god. I had really hoped we wouldn't sink this low. (Dives for the volume knob.)

Here's hoping the second half of the set holds some redemption.

(WOS2 The Tubes, Talk To Ya Later. Another SF stalwart goes over to the dark but highly profitable side.)

Just turned a corner with the Joan Jett tune. Hoping this is where the set is headed.

(FB aside: Despite the off-putting moniker and avatar, ol' Giter Dunn actually makes some good suggestions and seems to have decent taste. Unlike a lot of the regulars on AL's page.)

I have a theory that Giter Dunn and Swellegant are the same person.  An alter-ego sort of thing.   ;)

Ah, you may have hit on something. Points for being far more perceptive than I. :D

Sad to say, this set seems to be cleaving pretty close to the album rock charts of '81, Joanie notwithstanding. Sigh.  At least my choice for BOS seems pretty clear.

Sigh. Living out here in the cradle of fundamentalism has dulled me to things like irony. "Get 'er done" (in a variety of different spellings) is a slogan I see emblazoned on at least one monster truck daily. And there's a local construction co. that has it that as its name. So when I see that phrase my immediate reaction is "redneck idiot."

While we're on the topic, I would be willing to bet that the Styx song was actually done by Loverboy.

BOS for Ms. Jett & OMD, and I was all set to add the Clash, but this is one that Dave played to death for so long that I can only muster a VHM.  Still a good-to-great song.  "Minutes drag & the hours JERK."

it crossed over long ago -- indeed, until AL played "Hitsville UK" recently, it was the *only* Sandinista! track ever heard on 10@10... many many times.  "too fuckin long" indeed.

Long past the point of verging, I'm afraid. This was the only track Dave would play off Sandinista! But in this set it almost seems like a breath of fresh air.

To be fair, at the time they probably were considered a new band, not having their first real US hit and all. And actually, given that I requested this song, I should BOS it.
