Title: 22 March 2011: it's... 1983
Post by: RGMike on March 22, 2011, 07:59:25 AM
haven't heard a promo; nothing on FB.

Webster hints at an '80s year.

'83 it is... "Who Do You Want To Be Today?"  VHM Boingo.

I've never understood the hate for "Bang on the Drum", but OTOH, it's waaaaay overplayed.

as is "They Don't Know", which belongs in '84 -- not the first time AL has played it in '83.

BOS "They Don't Know" - though I thought it was from '84.

as noted above, it is, as far as Americans are concerned. But AL has now played it at least twice in '83. Some Foghead requested it in an '83 set a while back and she went along.

BOS the Polecats!

but jeez, from Polecats to StrayCats is a segue AL has def done previously.

BOS Tracy Ullman.  

I saw the Stray Cats back then, maybe it was 1982.  It was in the basement of the Rochester Auditoriuum Theater.  Yes, the basement.

HM to Joan, always liked this one.

TANC (?): I revisited 1983 lat might by watching War Games.  so very 80s, the Cold War, ancient computers with massive floppy drives, Ally Sheedy drinking Tab.

proxy of geoff, Strange Advance, "Worlds Away", a famous Narada to me, since I'd never heard it before Dave played it on 10@10. Completely ignored in NYC.

okay, so I misread my appointment & it's not until 11:30.  I got to hear the rest.

a)  TANC, I posted a Bart Simpson pic, and the next song was Tracy U. on whose show he debuted.

b)  nice segue from the computer in War Games to "Make A Circuit With Me".

c)  in an alternate universe or three, my family never left Lon Gisland & I graduated form Massapequa HS in the same class as Slim Jim Phantom.  I might even have played football for the Baldwin Bros father, who also taught History, & given that in the real world I eventually wound up with an MA in History I might well have been his best student! If we'd stayed, the graduating classes of MHS would have had the following lineup:  Alec B. class of class of 76,  Brian Setzer class of 77, Lee Rocker (aka Lee Drucker) class of 78, Daniel B. class of '79, me & Slim (aka Jim McDonnell) class of '80, William B. class of '81, my brother Joel class of '82, my brother Chris class of '83, and Stephen B. class of '84.  Whew!

d) another nice segue from Reagan's Social Security speech (which sounded tiumphant, but has in fact doomed us all) into "Escalator Of Life".

I've never understood the hate for "Bang on the Drum", but OTOH, it's waaaaay overplayed.

just to be clear, I wasn't hating the song, it's just that I thought I had to bail because of work.

oh, I didn't mean you -- others have mentioned it and Gaz routinely WOSes it.

This turned into an enjoyable set -- I'm having a hard time figuring out what sort of interference the new PD is running in regard to 10@10. Some days AL is like Dave-on-an-autopilot-Monday; other days she's her old self.  It's weird, I tells ya!
