Title: 10 June 2011: it's... 1977
Post by: RGMike on June 09, 2011, 08:21:14 PM
no clues as of 8:20pm. My money's on a '90s year.

oops, it's '77. We can be hee-woes!  Stand-by for "Lonely Boy".

my '77 wishlist includes "Whodunit", but "Don't take Away the Music" would be equally swell.

Well, Ms Summer may, like Obi-Wan Kenobi, be our only hope

Heroes:

about the vocal sound: In the studio they set up three mics, one close, one medium, one far away, and each was calibrated so the gate would only open at a certain sound level: the close mic picked up lower sounds, the medium one picked up "middle" sounds, and the farthest mic picked up his high-volume yelling, which is why Bowie sounds like he's far away in the later verses.

discovered yesterday that GE Smith (the one-time guitarist for the band Moonalice, which was subject to a little dreision in the Concert thread) was married to Gilda in 1980. Then she worked on a movie w/ Gene Wilder and fell for him. the two were married in 1984.
