Title: 24 May 2013: it's... 1983
Post by: RGMike on May 24, 2013, 09:42:46 AM
RR's clue: "Thriller" was released. Technically, very late '82.

But of course, little Miss "release dates are everything" gets it wrong yet again. Sheesh.

TOTHLN: Bowie.

Maybe she meant the single, which was released in '84.  Hence, she split the difference: '83!  ::)

I'd've sworn AL played this but it's apparently a bustout. BOSFRA.

Always enjoyed this song, but as a Dave-fave of the first order it's not something I've been missing.

And speaking of songs I haven't missed.

How long has it been since you heard this song? If it's more than 5 days I'd be shocked.

Only good thing about this song is the title on the LSJUMB tenor sax music: "Owner of a Boring Part".

A thoroughly underwhelming set. Should have guessed, after yesterday's above-average effort.

 ::) @ AW's comment about Tokyo Disney.  Normally I wouldn't get too offended about stupid comments but this was from the same person who cried racism on Twitch saying the spelling bee champion should win for spelling her (Indian) name.

I completely agree.  It's all the more disappointing because, by my estimation, 1983 marks
the approximate peak of New Wave.  This should have been at least a good set, and could
have been a great one.  It takes a certain talent -- or perhaps lack of it -- to take such a
notable year and produce such a lackluster, LN-y collection.
