Not sure of the year yet, but if you're not tuned in already, hurry up. Dave went to commercial at 9:51 & said "Ten@Ten is next."
So unless he plans to play 8 minutes of ads, were in for a very early start.

well, '88 is close enough to bad for me. T.Heads is a nice start, tho'. May not get much better, actually.
-
Not a bad start tho--T. Heads' Mr. Jones. One of the better swan-song albums out there. Except that, at least this song, is more indicative of the direction Byrne was heading (Latin music) than a continuation what the Heads had been doing up to that point.
That said, it rocks.

Just imagine how good this album would have been if it included the 2 songs recorded in these sessions, but which didn't appear until later on the retrospective Sand In The Vaseline: "Sax & Violins" and "Lifetime Piling Up".
The former is probably my favorite TH song all-time.

what I'd love:
Prince, Alphabet St.
MJ, Another Part of Me
TTD, If You Let Me Stay (but betcha we get Wishing Well)
Bobby Brown, Don't Be Cruel (but betcha we get the Cheap Trick cover of the same name)
Joan Jett, I Hate Myself For Lovin' You
Lita Ford, Kiss Me Deadly
Kylie Minogue, I Should Be So Lucky
-
I'm not saying that "Let It Roll" is a great song, but of all the attempts that have been made by bands to carry on after their acknowledged leader has departed (& especially if said leader has left this mortal coil), this is amongst the most OK.
Any nominees for most egregious &/or most appealing in this category? This promises to be a fairly forgetable set otherwise.

did he play Desire by U2?
or did I dream it?
-
HM "Rain in the Summertime". A song that has more meaning if you've actually lived where it gets hot and then rains in the summertime.
-
did he play Desire by U2?
or did I dream it?
no, but the Alarm were sometimes snarkily referred to as "U3"
aaack! WOS Tracy Chapman!

Completely disagree. Not bos, but I like ms chapman.

we should be so lucky to hear any of these. gosh...i'd forgotten about ttd's "if you let me stay." and i'd love to hear "another part of me." i really need to buy bad on cd. i have it on vinyl somewhere.
tracy's not sounding too bad this morning. has anyone heard the living colour version?

I was thinking this sounded pretty good compared to the rest. I was looking at the iTunes 1988 list, and it's pretty depressing.
-

I don't think so. He went from the Alarm to "Talkin 'Bout A Revolution".
Or am I hallucinating?

sorry i missed mr. jones. that song always sets me dancing. it might have been my only chance to do so this set.

They were really great at Wingding 3 years ago, but broke up for good three months later.

I've always had issues with Ms Chapman. I think "Fast Car" is a great song. But virtually everything else in her ouvre is painfully sincere and mediocre IMHO. I think crits went apeshit because she was a young, college-educated black woman who WASN'T doing R&B, and immediately pegged her as the second coming of Joan Armitrading (who was still recording and therefore didn't need someone else to be her second coming). End of rant for now (we'll deal with her sexuality another time).
-

Well, I mean- c'mon! After doing Wingding what else was there for them to do? They hit the heights, baby! :D
-
another HM George. But BOS material, as Geoff indicated, eludes me.
VHM Billy Ocean just for novelty. Dave actually plays a late '80s black person who isn't Tracy Chapman!
-
i don't know which is worse: having memorised the lyrics to this song, or having memorised the video. ah, the awkward period between pop and techno. "i need more synth!!"
beep, beep, yeah.

When I read Mark's first post, I thought he was referring to Winnipeg, and did not read it as Wingding until Beej's reply!
What was Mark doing in Winnipeg?

That was quite possibly the single greatest achievement by a political staffer in history. The back story is that one of Benson's people had pretended to be a Republican & had gone to a few Quayle fundraisers before the debate, where the staffer heard him make this comparison. While it is factually true*, a friendly audience, who in their private wet dreams hoped Quayle could be the next JFK, & wouldn't see the utter disconnect inherent in the idea. So the staffer tipped Benson that Quayle had been going around comparing hisself to JFK, and the rest is history.
*Hillary will also be in exactly the same position in 3 yrs as both Qualye & JFK, i.e. having completed the 2nd year of her 2nd Senate term. Only diff. being that both DQ & JFK had at least one House term under their belts before the Senate.
ETA: I was going to agree with the other sentiment tho', Quayle would be an experienced voice of reason in Shrubs cabinet.

{sigh} can i bring you along on every solo gig i ever play so you can explain that?
p.s. armAtrading
p.p.s. what is it with black women who play guitar, and don't play r&b, and wear naturals?
-
I haven't been listening until now, but New Sensation sounds good, don't it? So what about Tracy's sexuality? I hadn't heard anything about it. I like Joan Armatrading a lot better, by the way.

ok. inxs rocks. i don't care how many times i hear this song/album. i always think i can ignore this song until michael sings, "love, baby, love!" then i have to pay attention. but, unfortunately, the song is almost over.

Doesn't this REM song sound like an inferior version of "Finest Worksong"? Which one came first?

A few nice nuggets in this set, at least: the T Heads, the Oils, perhaps the Billy Ocean and now this REM tune which I confess to not remembering much at all. A deep cut from Green?

If the series had run longer? They probably would have done that. Hell, he was Lt Governor by the time the series ended....

FW came first and yes, there is definitely some melodic retread action going on.

yeah, it sounds like a slower version of it. "finest worksong" came first. '86, i think.

This was a very solid album, but the PF's suffer from a syndrome with me: the I-love-one-of-your-songs-SO-much, how-come-you've-never-done-anything-else-like-it syndrome.
I could probably populate an entire 10@10 with this theme.

No, Tegan & Sara are actual identical twins (& lesbians to boot!), these two are merely sisters.

I don't know what I'm talking about, that's the point!
Everytime I go to Starbucks (not all that often, usually if one is inside a Safeway), I mostly get a double Americano (whichever vocab word they use for that), and the attendant always asks me, "Do you want room?" At least it sounds like 'room', but that patently makes no sense at all, so I guess they must spell it 'reum'. Or maybe 'rheum'. But that sounds like a disease, right?
HELP ME OUT HERE!!
-

LOL to infinity! Aw, dude. You poor guy. They ARE saying "room". As in "do you want room for cream?"
This Starbucks you go to might want to instruct the staff to be a wee more specific next time.
-

i don't order coffee that often, but i am always thrown by the "room" question, too. it akes me a second to figure out they're omitting the "for cream" part.

I fgured it was rum and that the guy had a REALLY thick accent...
There's a woman by BART in the morning giving away SF Examiners and her accent makes "free Examiner" sound like "freak seminaire".

Ha Ha!! I love it when the joke is on me! I haven't asked for cream since 1982, so I lack the concept. Me & my active imagination supposed that this was some sort of non-alcoholic additive that would make it taste like brandy/rum in your coffee. Ha!

Okay, so I didn't win, but I talked to Annalisa at length about Bentsen/Quayle (got the spelling right that time) & the US election process.
So I'm on some kind of roll lately. Yesterday I talked to Dave, & got played back on the air, today I've talked to Dave twice, the first time got played back on the air, to Greg Kihn once, also got played back, and now to Annalisa, but not played back.

even tho' I own their debut (on vinyl) I'd've never recognized 'em. What a wonderful album. It's the LP the Bangles should've followed up Different Light with, instead of writing dreadful power ballads.
