Title: 3 Sept 2013: it's... 1981
Post by: RGMike on September 03, 2013, 09:34:56 AM
after a weekend bracketed by theme sets, I'm thinking '90s but hoping for something much older.

ooo! nice TOTHK from Elvis C: "Clubland" in 1981.

uber-LN2: "Girls on Film".

At least there's a variety of genres and a couple of non-overplayed songs (this comment is directed at the previous programming director and not any poster on this board). I'm not sure why DC thought it would be a good idea to make the show more generic, format-conforming, and, I guess, slanting towards more recent years. At least the experiment failed.

I like this tune, though I was struck by the fact that is sounds like there are no "acoustic" instruments on this track. They do make the keyboards work somehow.

so if she's bringing incense, wine and candles, I guess Rick will be supplying the chloroform, duct tape, and mountains of cocaine!

I know someone who used to perform wedding ceremonies.  At the end he would have
the bride and groom each light a candle, then hold them together so they would melt into
one.
