Early BOS candidate: "Driver's Seat."  I don't know why I like this song so much, but it would have sounded in place on a Falco album.

If anybody's interested, Mark and I (and some non-10at10ers) will be having lunch at Vaso Azzurro in Mountain View today at 11:40.  If you'd like to join us, lemme know, and I'll see if I can make a reservation.

Cheers,
Dave

PS  Is this Sniff 'N the Katrinas by now?

OK, BOS to "Rise."  I think of Biggie when I hear this, not Luke & Laura, fwiw.  But more than that, I think of the baseball field in GG Park not far from 9th Avenue.

I'm so glad this stuff is coming out.  Allegedly, among the albums that have never recouped are TLC's "CrazySexyCool," Mr. Mister's "Welcome to the Real World," and the Backstreet Boys' self-titled debut.  A sickened and often sickening industry, the music biz is.

john said he was driving around manhattan once with a couple of playboy bunnies - probably around 1979 - and he looked up at the displays in times square to see a gigantic poster promoting the babys album. he scratched his head, and thought, "whose idea was that? it must have cost a fortune!"

the band still hasn't paid off that bill.

There should be a law against playing "What a Fool Believes" in the same set with a song that sounds just like it.  Cornier than Nebraska.

My thought exactly. Except for the BOS to Kenny part.

Anyone care to bet that we hear some Toto before the set is done? Dire Straits? Love to hear some Ramones, but not betting on that one.

Can I relate this story to another mailing list I'm on that directly addresses these kinds of issues?  I think I can make John's tales part of a larger and more effectual dialogue.

sure, just don't include the last line "the band still hasn't..." - that's my personal commentary. i'm certain it must be true, though, since he said the band paid for everything. they received huge advances, of course, blew those on playboy bunnies, then were stuck with mountains of bills from all the promotional work the record company had approved. the band was never consulted on how that money was to be spent, of course.

he also said he called chrysalis awhile ago to find out how much money they owed him, and was told there had been a fire in the accounting department, and his file was gone. strangely, they still knew that he owes them one million dollars.[/b]

In fact, I like it because it seems the least Chic-ish. I always found their clipped, affected delivery kind of annoying, and much preferred their oustide productions (Sis Sledge, Diana).

Yep, we've had several decent sets of late from years that are usually snoozers (the 1988 set with George Harrison and the 'Mats a week or so back also springs to mind).

But I'm starting to wonder if Dave didn't add a new year to the wheel this year. Seems like we usually hear the newly-added year within the first week or two of January, and then not again for the entire rest of the year. Here it is mid-Feb and nary a hint of 1996.

He said in early January that "we WILL be adding a new year to the wheel" so I'm assuming it's coming... eventually. But yeah, this is the latest it's ever been.

Well it's a bit less obvious than, say, "Coward of the County", but some saw lyrics like "comes a time in every life" to mean "it's time to stand up, dammit!" even tho' the song was probably written before the hostages were taken.

Jeez, I just read over the comments on the Drive 10@10 and it seems like, between Boston and Dave Edmunds, Gaz got his sensibilities shat on twice today. Man, that's gotta suck--what are the chances? Hope the rest of the day goes better, pard.

And as for your back, sounds like you pinched a nerve. Know any good acupuncturists? Ask your friends. Fix you right up, guaranteed, just probably not covered by your insurance.

And that's through your employer's health plan? My god, that is OUTRAGEOUS. You're talking two adults and two kids, right? I pay approximately 1/10th of that figure for two adults (Kaiser).

Although the fact that Gaz' employer doesn't kick down any sort of health plan is even worse. I thought there were laws requiring such things. Is that just a California requirement?
