Title: 16 April 2012: it's... A Year o' Mystery (1981)
Post by: RGMike on April 15, 2012, 09:15:52 PM
no clues as of 9pm Sunday.  Not clear to me what that charity thing on Tuesday means in terms of 10@10, so maybe we'll get a Tax set tomorrow? Then again, maybe not.

ETA: per a promo I heard, it's a Mystery Year. Guess AL went to the Webster/Dennis/Rosalie mutual birthday party.

Dudley Moore gets caught between the moon and Noo Yawk City. But no Chris Cross.

BOS2 Human League's "Love Action"  - a serious rarity if not a bustout.

BOS to one of my fave Human League songs.  I always get a kick out of the line "but this is Phil talking..."

Surely, you can't be serious.  Just bought the most recent (2011) Cars album -- the one with the orig line-up, sans Benn Orr, of course.  Not bad... it was a dollar in the cut out bin at Amoeba.  The Nice Price!

This King Crimson lineup were the bees knees for me back then.

hee.  and worth noting that most of us didn't hear "Love Action" until the following year, after "Don't You Want me" broke.

wow: King Crimson, "Frame By Frame" gets a BOSFRA.

The Who's status as a supergroup didn't translate into the massive album sales similar groups enjoyed:

some good super-specific lyrics in this one, but what does this mean?  "I lay on the bed with you.. we could make some book on records..." 

I also like "I showed up late with a neon light as a visa."

I was just looking up this Depeche Mode song last night. It's my favorite of theirs -- kind of sounds like Erasure.

indeed, it was while Vince Clarke was still with them -- he left after this to form Yaz(oo)

I always thought it was "book of records". I think the idea was that they could have some record-breaking sex...

I also wondered about the neon light. I always envisioned this as being a glowing nose from being drunk, but don't have much conviction that that's what they had in mind.

White Girl is my favorite X song and possibly in my all-time top 10.

‎04/16/12 - Monday! A Mystery Year! (1981)

1. Go-Gos -- Our Lips Are Sealed
2. Adam Ant -- Ant Music
(Movie Arthur -- Dudley Moore -- "You spoiled little bastard")
3. Human League -- Love Action
4. Cars -- Since You're Gone
(News clip -- Downer news including assaination attempts and hostage drama)
5. King Crimson -- Frame By Frame
(News clip -- Oakland Raiders win Super Bowl XV)
6. The Who -- You Better, You Bet
7. Depeche Mode -- Just Can't Get Enough
(News clip -- Bohemian Club)
8. Heaven 17 -- (We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang

Can't remember the last time I had 6 BOSes in an '80s set. And only 3 tracks even approached being LNs (Go-Gos, Cars and the 'oo, IMHO) But I'm willing to let that slide. Not bad for a Moan-day.

I had time to research, and no less than FOUR bustouts: X's "White Girl", Depeche Mode, Heaven 17 and Human League's "Love Action" -- amazing, really. I thought the King Crimson was too but AL played "Frame By Frame" once before. The Cars tune was of course a major Moreytrina, the Go-Go's somewhat less so, but everything else was relatively rare -- "Antmusic" and the Nicks/Henley are AL faves that Dave never played.  Most impressive set in a while, sez me.
