No clues as of 8:30 Sunday nite.
My first thought was maybe she's on vacay but it turns out Webster's off all week. But maybe AL is having a long weekend? Or maybe she joined "Events & Adventures"? (boy am I *SICK* of those commercials!)
speaking of sick, Renee sounds terrible!
ah, it's a 1983-run. Huey does his best Macca imitation.
-
1983. Did you hear that *croaking* announcement of the sponsor? I think it's a sick Annaliza. Oh, that was Renee... Maybe the whole office is down.
-
Huey's sounding good to me today.

it's the unbearable longness of Huey! But seriously, what McCartney song is he imitating ? it's always bugged me.
VHM and proxy of shray, Red (Rockers) "China".
-
I'll give a BOS for Robert and his System.
-
VHM "China". Robert Palmer is in your system. Definitely characteristic sound.

the best Andy Williams remake...
-
When did this show first air?
VHM Aztec Camera -- Oblivious. A band I first heard on 10@10.
-

i probably said this last time, but the original was a fave of mine when i was 5 or 6 -- an early illustration to me of songwriting craft.
BOS3 Aztec Camera.

aaaack! Phil's got a name and a number. And I got a WOS.

Reminds me of a hilarious moment. I was at a friend's concert who happened to play drums as well as fronting the band. He asked if anyone had requests and my buddy yelled out "SU SU SUDIO!"

What is this Jimmy Buffett monstrosity?
-
What is this Jimmy Buffett monstrosity?
"Wings of a Dove"? it's the Specials, and it's BOS4 for me. This is a "classic" worth the name, IMHO.
-

Jimmy Buffett? I have no idea, but it ain't him. Maybe Fun Boy Three?
-
I detect Madness in that song
-
proxy of Rod and whoever else, Burning Sensations. (a little ointment'll clear that up right quick, har har)

I meant the calypso stylings, not that it was actually Buffett. And it looks like this song (belly of a whale) has a similar style. I guess the Caribbean was popular in the 80's.

ooops you're right -- Madness, not the Specials, who I often got confused back then. But def not Jimmy Buffet.

news briefs were made for Michelob.

got here late, missed Red Rockers' China which would be a BOS b/c I lurved that song back then. too bad I'm hampered by our strict voting rules here.
btw, English Beat (first?) released Can't Get Used To Losing You in 81, so I guess it charted in 83, is that what's going on here?

I rarely listen to news, but when I do, it's sponsored by Michelob.

Just like Superman!

VHM Thompson Twins. Moody (but not moldy) cheese. I have to BOS Aztec Camera. This set is nice but kind of middle of the road. No bustouts.
-
YAY! A John Hughes moment...
and BOS to Thompson Twins and this pop nugget. not too many words here, but pretty poignant.
-

NTM Thompson Twins. If this came out now, it would be the Dandy Warhols.
-

it never charted here, but it charted in the UK in '83.

I think several were bustouts the first time around -- Thompson Twins, I think, and possibly English Beat too.

When did this show first air?
VHM Aztec Camera -- Oblivious. A band I first heard on 10@10.
I started listening to 10@10 in 94, it had been going on for a few years before that. But don't know how many
-
BTW, AL posted on her FB page:
"Good morning! 10@10 is coming up...is it live or...do I have Monday off? Enjoy and have a great day!"
and she linked an Ella Fitzgerald "is it live or is it Memorex?" commercial. Cute.

Heh, I meant this re-run of "1983". But good to hear 10@10 has been around that long.

Yah, when we liberated Grenada (thank God!) everyone was all "oy mon" and playing steel drums everywhere. I think you're too young to remember those days. ;)
that one was NTM, and not bad. it's by Madness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GZw3vMyF0M

non-sequitur of the day, a comment on AL's FB page:
"My parents had this Perry Como album, they played it all the time."
I'm guessing he confused Andy Williams with Perry Como?

The System, appropriately enuf. Their version was an R&B hit; their big pop success came 4 years later with "Don't Disturb This Groove".

Wow. I never knew they had another hit. I played "Don't Disturb This Groove" nonstop for awhile when it came out.
