Dave spilled the beans at 6am, and promised Bram Tchaikovsky. Now if he'd take a cue from the Peak and do the 12-string trifecta by including the Shoes and the Records...
-
now we'll get to compare & contrast this with tomorrow's '79 set on the Drive.
-
Heds up gang--today's Dave's birthday. He let it slip while they were talking to the guy from 21st Amendment brewpub this morning. Hope he's got something up his sleeve.
-
d'oh. I have to meet with one of my bureaucratic masters at 10am. I'll be late to the hoe-down.

they sang "Happy-B-Day" and gave him a cake early this morning. Is '79 the year he moved to SF?

Don't know for sure, but that sounds about right.

Sista Sledge. I'm usually tired of this but it sounds good right now.

"seed stick batons from Hartz Mountain"... LOL! Does that company still exist?

As a TOTHC it's working nicely. Hoping for a big dose of 79 power pop, as Mike alluded above. Maybe some Fabulous Poodles?

nothing like being (family) dosed by a bunch of sistas!

my thoughts exactly.

Third time I've heard "Logical Song" this week, in three completely unrelated contexts. Heard "Goodbye Stranger" while en route to Rehoboth as well. You'd think Supertramp had reunited for Live 8.

that's funny. i've had that "it's just a heartbreaker!" song stuck in my head for over a week. some kinda subliminal supertramp is going on.

ooo, the Fab Poos! haven't thought of them in ages. Aside from Bram T., I suspect we'll have to settle for the Knack.
ETA: or Cheap Trick.

I declare the floodgates of Power Pop ... OPEN!
-
i've been meaning to ask if anyone has heard of betty davis (miles' ex-wife). i heard two of her albums while i was in berlin. good lord, was she raunchy! puts lil' kim to shame.
-
Cheap Trick rules.
-
Where's Rod? Here's some Zep, & he only needs a couple more posts to crack the 500 mark.
-

I hear she has Kim Carnes Eyes.
-
early bos (but it will probably stick): suarez! and proxy for rod, if he's not here.
-
I hear she has Kim Carnes Eyes.
i don't think i'ever seen kim carnes' eyes underneath all of her hair. everytime i think of her, i picture darryl hannah. i rather like that.
i thought for certain you would have heard of betty, reg. she seems right up your millie jackson alley.

I had the same thought, but he said last week he's been slammed at work. Suspect he's listening & lurking.
-
so, has anyone found an MP3 yet of "Girl of My Dreams?"
-
gosh, that jimmy was such a revolutionary. "we must have faith in our ability to govern ourselves." sounds much different when dubya says it.
-
I was waiting for "Girl of My Dreams" but I'd like to BOS Dire Straits
-
I likes my Knopfler. Mtn. Winery in a few weeks.
-

Me too!
-
BOS tie to Cheap Trick and this Dire Straits tune, both on the strength of great guitar work. Yeah, I know we heard Page, too, but you expect that from him.
How many guitar parts do you hear in Once Upon a Time...? I'm counting three minimum, rhythm on the right, counter rhythm on the left, and the lead part right up the middle.

I musta missed that convo, by whom? Surely you're not into the All-American Rejects.

HM to the "Alice" theme. Always got a soft spot for that show.

I think this stems back to a long, long time ago when Geoff, Urth and I were discussing the (sadly out of print, they assure me) "Poptopia!" compilations of late-'70s power pop.
-

I think I have it at home, on the Rhino Poptopia! comp--I'll rip it & send it along.

Uhhhh, JINXtopia there, Gaz!

I'm somewhat of a Starship apologist, but this one isn't aging as gracefully (no pun intended) as the others.
-
VHM to Jane!Jane!Jane!
But BOS, of course, goes to the majestic "There But For the Grace of God Go I." What an amazing song, lyrically and musically. Socially conscious disco rocks!
-

and it wasn't that great to start with :wink:
BOS2: "There But For the Grace of Slick", er, "god".

Well, there's your Starship (Red Octopus, Dragon Fly) and there's your Starship (Freedom at Point Zero, Knee Deep in the Hoopla). Once Marty bailed and Craig Chaquico unpacked his fuzztone, things went into decline.
Anyone out there able to fill me in on this disco piece that's on now? There But For the Grace of God?
-

The pun should have been intended. But the Freedom at Point Zero album actually has some really solid stuff (followup single "Girl With the Hungry Eyes" not being among it).

It's Machine... which is (I think) connected in some way to Dr Buzzard/August Darnell/Kid Creole. Indeed, I think Kid Creole did a version of this too.

"There But For the Grace of God Go I," by Machine. Their only hit; they disbanded after two years when they realized people don't like to listen to lyrics while they're shaking their rumps to the funk and doing rails off each other's tailbones. I think they *might* have a connection to August Darnell, but I'm not sure. This was a Hot 100 hit in America, fared better in England.

who has the ipod in your avatar, gaz? jay from jamiroquai or aunt esther?
-
The only thing missing from this set, now that we've covered so many genre bases? Closing with the Buzzcocks' "Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone That You Shouldn't've)."
-
and as predicted: the Knack, thankfully not "Sharona" for a change.
"and it HURTS!"
the harmonic a always reminds me of "Apple Scruffs"

The Queen Mum -- but inspired guesses, both.
Meanwhile, what the HELL are you talking about with Bobby and Whitney's doodie-bubble?!?

ETA: written by August Darnell, this song Hit #77.
Here's the AMG bio:
Best known for its 1979 cult classic "There but for the Grace of God Go I," Machine was a soul/disco/funk band that tackled social and political issues at a time when many of its colleagues were afraid to. Machine was formed in New York in 1977, when the disco-era was in full swing and most R&B, disco, and funk lyrics were escapist in nature. The members of Machine — who included lead singer Clare Bathé, lead singer/guitarist Jay Stovall, bassist Melvin Lee, keyboardist Kevin Nance, and drummer Lonnie Ferguson — were big fans of the R&B message songs of the early '70s, and they regretted the fact that after 1975, many R&B artists had gotten away from social and political commentary. Machine set out to change that when, in 1978, it signed with RCA and recorded the single "There but for the Grace of God Go I" — a brilliant piece of social commentary about Latino immigrants who move to the U.S. in search of a better life but quickly realize how dangerous the mean streets of the Bronx can be. Released in early 1979, the disco/soul masterpiece became a club hit and is considered a cult classic. Machine's self-titled debut album also came out in 1979, and in 1980, RCA released its sophomore effort, Moving On. Regrettably, Machine's second album was also its last. Moving On wasn't a big seller, and in 1981, Machine broke up.

Surprising that they can't get away with the Isley Brothers singing "bullsh*t" in Fight the Power, but this fairly descriptive paean to teenage lust is okey dokey.
-
The Knack rule, too

ah, yes. i remember the hat now.
one highlight i forgot to mention when reviewing "being bobby brown": after bobby broke into the wrong side of a minibar with a screwdriver, he and whitney had some crackhead discussion about him having to remove blockage from her rear end. then she mentioned something about dating someone who had a feces fetish (i think that's what she was saying). then bobby ran around the hotel room trying to figure out who it was. he decided it was eddie murphy, so he wrote eddie's name down on a notepad.
i was traumatized.

Now THAT would rule. Has DM ever played that in a 10@10 before? Make a fine nugget, that would.
-
The Knack rule, too
BTW Beej I saw F4 last nite. Very bad. To call it "cheezy" is an insult to cheeze. It belongs on the Sci-Fi Channel. VERY late at nite.
-
"doodie bubble" were bobby's exact words, btw.

Yikes. That's bad. I don't know which is worse: SciFi Channel Original movies or watching The Browns talk about.. er... "the browns"....
ew.

Same goes for the Walker Bros.' "Make It Easy on Yourself" -- I can't find any WB comps around here, even at the Virgin Megastore.

Surely there's a Buzzcocks comp floating around? if so, grab it, there's more to them than that song.

Bonus! Squeeze, "Cool For Cats". Nice choice!

Can't help with the Walker Bros. but I think we've got a Buzzcocks disc or two at home. I'll try to remember to dig it out tonight.

There's a great series of various artist compilations under the heading D.I.Y., one of which D.I.Y.: Starrry Eyes: UK Pop II (1978-79) includes "Girl Of My Dreams", "Ever Fallen In Love" as well as the title track by The Records. If you see it snap it up.

I know they were pretty derivative, in a derivative field, but I always liked that song. Didn't they have another hit?

yes, "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore", their best-known song, a fabulous Spector-esque single a la "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling".
