Title: 20 April 2012: it's... 1985
Post by: RGMike on April 19, 2012, 09:12:27 PM
No Earth Day and no "420". Here's hoping we maintain the high quality of the rest of this week by busting out some, er, bustouts.

Streaming audio access has returned. No more KFOG-via-Walkman. So this set BETTER be good.

Leadoff song: "Nightshift". It's nice, but it's not exactly waking me up.

yeah, not what I'd call a TOTHK. But BOS1 anyway; one of the classiest, least-treacly tribute-to-dead-people hits ever.

And it played out longer than normal. There were so ad lib lines I couldn't sing along to towards the end. :)

I missed the intro except for the last bit. What did AL say about "adding Mike to the list"? Did somebody else die? I'm waiting for the third person to die in as many days, as they often do...

Hahaha, things about Pee Wee Herman you shouldn't understand.

Who's Frid? I guess the Men At Work dude didn't register for me. If it had been Colin James Hay, I probably would have noticed.

yes, absolutely. I've been requesting it intermittently for over a year. Pays not to give up, I guess.

Here's the Billy Bragg version (well, a truncated clip anyway):

Don't get me started -- a bunch of folks thought Kirsty M was the Bangles.

BTW, anyone notice that Jose F doesn't post in G-snipes? Even on sat morning (he listens to AT40 but has his own thread) I think he thinks we're too mean, or something...

That was pretty damn great -- a fine balance of bustouts and mainstays. In fact this was one excellent week. Only 1992 was lackluster and it was hardly "worst '90s set ever" or anything.

‎04/20/12 - Friday! 1985
1. The Commodores - Night Shift
2. Mike and the Mechanics - All I Need Is a Miracle
(Movie: Pee-wee's Big Adventure - He's a rebel!)
3. Kritsy MacColl - A New England
4.A-ha - Take On Me
( News - Musicians and fans gather at Live Aid in Philadelphia and Farm Aid in Champaign, Illinois for concerts with a cause)
5. John Cougar Mellencamp - Lonely Ol' Night
6. Tom Waits – Downtown Train
(TV: Golden Girls – Rose (Betty White) enjoys living on the “wild side” with her toll-booth running new boyfriend)
7. Phil Collins – Take Me Home
(TV: Golden Girls –Blanche (Rue McClanahan) thinks if Rose really wasn’t interested in dating anymore, she’d let her hair go natural.
8. Stevie Wonder – Part Time Lover
(TV: The Golden Girls – Sophia (Estelle Getty) enjoys being whacked-out on medication.
9. John Fogerty – Rock ‘n’ Roll Girls
10. The Waterboys – The Whole of the Moon (BOS)

I'm still trying to figure out how I suddenly became "Mr Request" this week -- 6 songs in 8 days. (in pairs, no less) I'm responsible 4 of the bustouts in that period, I think. AL's most excellent week in some time, a lackluster 1992 notwithstanding.
