Title: 27 April 2012: it's... 1983
Post by: RGMike on April 26, 2012, 07:03:03 PM
some good some bad and some ugly requests on FB. "Uncle Scott" posted the ENTIRE Top 100 singles of '83. And that's why he wasn't invited to be a gs.

I would suggest that, in of itself, that isn't why he wasn't invited.

AL puts the whammy (kiss) on us.

The older I get, the more annoying I find Fred Schneider. And this was the period where they started to get borderline-idiotic.

James Woods -- it's a great, weird flick. David Cronenberg at his wildest.

A quick search says not since Dave played it in April of 2008.  First appearance in the AL era, amazingly.

Just seems like it's overplayed. 

Colin Hays' voice has a Stevie Winwood quality to it.

BOS New Order

This set is pretty nice. I'm digging the different clips also.

VHM New Order.

Can't tell if this is a bustout -- certainly Dave never played it, but AL may have.

And it may not even be that 'trin-y: Dave never spun it.

The setlist doesn't look half bad at all.

indeed -- closest to LN territory is R.E.M. and M.A.W. The Go-Betweens are a bustout, afaik.

New Order is also, indeed, a bustout.  I wouldn't really call this M@W song a LN, it only has 3 Dave spins per the Shraytabase (& 0 AL, before now)..."Who Can it Be Now?" would be the LN.

Listening to the replay again. This is a good set. And you'll notice that New Order got a BOS even though many probably never heard this song before. (It's new to me).

Let this be a lesson to the powers-that-be that playing less well-known songs is a good way to increase listeners, not decrease them.
