Post by: RGMike on January 28, 2013, 10:02:44 AM
"The year Rhodesia became Zimbabwe", sez Greg. Whatever.

Gee, how many times has a 1979 set on a Monday begun with "I Don't Like Mondays"?  great song but totally LN at this point.

previous '79 set (Dec 3rd):

Quote
1. The Eagles - Heartache Tonight
2. Rupert Holmes - Escape (Pina Colada Song)

6. John Mellencamp - I Need A Lover
7. Supertramp - Goodbye Stranger

Don't know if I'd go so far as to say LN, but it's incredibly obvious. Gee, Renee how long did you have to think to come up with this one?

Betting we hear some Supertramp today, too.

I recognize the name "Ian Gomm" but don't know anything about him. I thought this might be a Greg Kihn song; it's a little reminiscent of his "Remember".

"Argo fuck yourself!"



Mike, you're repeating yourself. You used that line last time we went to 1979 (in early December).

Speaking of which, here's what we heard then, for comparison's sake:

Quote
1. The Eagles - Heartache Tonight
2. Rupert Holmes - Escape (Pina Colada Song)
(News: Iranians take hostages)
3. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Refugee
4. George Harrison - Blow Away

6. John Mellencamp - I Need A Lover
7. Supertramp - Goodbye Stranger
(Movie: "The Jerk")
8. Talking Heads - Heaven
9. Ricki Lee Jones - Chuck E's In Love
10. Cheap Trick - I want You to Want Me

BOS Clampdown. Nice to hear some real punk/new wave this time. Certainly not much in that last one.

Yeah, I dug a lot of her late 70s sets.  This is the first Renee 70s set I'm digging too.

Renee you're going to have to do better than that to make us believe you'd even heard of them before an hour ago.

"Who could forget Trevor Spencer and Alan Tarney?"

Renee you're going to have to do better than that to make us believe you'd even heard of them before an hour ago.

well, to her credit, she effed up the name "Spencer" when she was reading it, and then under her breath answered the question by saying something like "apparently I can (forget)"

but yeah, she has cred problems BEYOND trying to remember classic rock one-hit wonders from the late 70s.  But I lurved that song back then -- and still do -- and I can't tell Spencer from Tarney from my butt.
