No clues as of 9:30am -- but Scott Fisher posted Rascall Flatts' tribute to Caylee Anthony on AL's page. ::) Yuck.
I've got 10:00 meetings today AND tomorrow -- for your sakes I hope this week is an improvement.

I've tried my hardest to avoid commenting on this story, but needless to say, I officially hate cable news now.
How about Weird Al Yankovic's "Headline News"?

TOTHK, Big Time
Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel. uh... the video for this Sledgehammer raised the bar, but I can't recall the vid for BT. :)
HM to (I'm a Real) Wild One. I know this song, but not who does it.
"A new heavyweight champeen, Michael Tyson!"
Smithereens, Blood And Roses. A real rock and roll dirge bass line.
-
This set's kinda boring, and I'm sad to be reminded that "Big Time" et al are 25 years old. TANC: I referenced that "big words" line on FB recently when Christiane Amanpour was derided for using a big word on TV.

I saw the video for that. kudos to her for not dumbing things down, but I suspect some of the pundits at that table were thinking "WTF does that word mean? I hope she doesn't call on me.." but context clues made it easy to assume it was a positive thing.
Robert Cray keeps up the underwhelmingness of it all.

Was this fairly recent? I tried wiking it to no avail.
It's scary that Nancy Grace is taken seriously by anybody. Actually she's just scary to look at period.
-
Nooo! Not another subpar set!
-
If you've heard one Robert Cray song, you've heard them all.
BOS by default to an unusually perky Chrissie Hynde on "Don't Get Me Wrong."
-
Anyone else think this perky beat is like Walking on Sunshine?

Hit the news last week. The word was "perspicacious" and ABC news ran a graphic showing the definition underneath it:

Most definitely.

Very much so.

The Bangles' Greatest Hits should be a part of every pop fan's collection.
I'm off to work; later!

You must not be quite awake yet, Tink! That was "Big Time" by Peter Gabriel, followed by Iggy Pop "Real Wild Child." Then the Smithereens, regular suburban Jersey guys who got a taste of rock&roll fame for a few years. In 1990 Robert Cray recorded a radio public service announcement that I wrote (along with a few other celebs) that aired on Calif radio stations that year; I still have the uncut audio of those sessions. VHM Pretenders and Bangles! Now, Everybody Wang Chung...
-

not sure about that, but AL certainly mixed and matched the beat straight into the Bangles' Walk Like An Egypt-ee-an

Agreed. Have a good one!

Agreed - funny that for a band that only had three albums, they seemed to have a long career.

Funny Frazier clip though.

BOS REM. AL's certainly in a poppy jangly guitar mood today.

You must not be quite awake yet, Tink! That was "Big Time" by Peter Gabriel,
yeah, I fixed that. oopsie.
Mike Mills on lead vocals, no? talented dude.

Great song, great harmonies. Billy Idol channeling Elvis. Have mercy!

Now here's one I can get behind (or in front of): Billy Idol!!

BOS Billy Idol!
His show in December at the Fillmore was just great...

Saw him a few years ago at Neil's Bridge School show, on bill with David Bowie. Billy's infectious charm stole the show.

I actually like this Van Hagar tune. HM

Bleah. I don't share your enthusiasm for it. I saw Billy Idol at the Bridge School maybe 10 years ago. He was great, though it seemed a little awkward for him to be doing his rather sexy act in front of dozens of severely handicapped kids on the stage with him.

I saw him in Quadrophenia (live) with The Who. Hot.

Why Can't This Be Love?
Heard it at the Luxor on our last trip to Vegas, and it never sounded better.
I don't get the Van Hagar hate. Sure he's not Diamond Dave, but did anybody realistically expect that? Of all the bands that had at least two distinct eras based on change in lead singer, they have to be at or near the top.

heh, I can see that. I bet some of the kids onstage loved it and some of them were thinking "get off the stage, you wanker."
Not a bad Van Hagar song, but not as good as Finish What Ya Started!! :)
-
Not sorry I missed this... 3rd '80s set in 7 days. Sheesh.
Following up on an earlier comment, when Nancy Grace came back after giving birth to twins, my first thought was: "wait... someone actually had SEX with Nancy Grace??"
-
Nooo! Not another subpar set!
And that's the way it stayed, with brief glimmers of hope from the Iggy and Billy Idol tunes. At the risk of being the resident naysayer, after the plethora of 80s sets and mediocre song choices we've heard since last week I think there's something going on that we're not privy to. This is NOT the work of the Annalisa we know and love.

Something's definitely going on behind closed doors. Time to write her boss a letter!

and sadly, to most of the FB-fogheads... it makes no nevermind. They were all pleased as punch this morning, from the comments I'm reading.

I'll give Billy the benefit of the doubt that he's sobered up a good bit since then, but at the 2nd Bridge show (the one at the Coliseum rather than Snoreline) Billy was completely piss-drunk. His own set was a kind of a clusterf***, and then during Tom Petty's set he runs onstage, throws a bearhug around Petty and yells something into the mic about how he and Petty have the same manager. Gee, thanks so much--that added immeasurably to the show. So not a great impression for either the crowd or the kids that night.

dudes, it wasn't a complete washout. After all, it had Iggy, Bangles, and Billy Idol.
The biggest offenders were the well-worn songs you hear everywhere: Pretenders, Peter Gabriel, Van Hagar, REM. Each of those songs has fans for very valid reasons, but not exactly new ground. And keep in mind that DM played his share of Robert Cray, despite the general meh-ness about his stuff around here. And to me, the Smithereens are another 'meh' group.
The biggest red flag is the lack of a Facebook request line being opened before today's set. That says 'toe the line, at-will employee,' more than trotting out songs you listen to in your mom jeans.

let the Wanging of the Chung commence.
I don't have a problem with bands referring to themselves in their own songs (e.g. Steely Dan, Show Biz Kids) but this song takes it to the point of absurdity and in the process earns my WOS for the day.

Very much so. Dave played the Idol tune once per the Shraytabase, but I think AL's brought it out a time or two under her watch. And everything else has multiple plays.

It's scary that Nancy Grace is taken seriously by anybody. Actually she's just scary to look at period.
Her sister's my accounting professor... :-X

I have to BOS Wang Chung because that was a Hits 106 fav. gold in the 90s and early 00's. I like the PG, IP, and S tunes too but this set just settled down into kind of a "meh"-ness. Of all Billy Idol singles, "To Be a Lover" is quite possibly his worst. Dave played "Why Can't This Be Love?" alot. Last week's 1985 was better. It seemed like there was nothing holding this set together.
