Tunes in just in time for XTC's "Dear God," a BOS contender.  What was the Stevie track?  FWIW, I *loved* "I Can't Wait" and liked "Talk to Me."

HM Run DMC's cover of "Walk This Way", which probably did more for Aerosmith than it did for them.

especially after Run-DMC admitted they didn't know the band was named Aerosmith until they met them. They thought the band was called Toys in the Attic (the name of the LP the song is orig from). "Yo, fellas, let's do that Toys in the Attic song."

VVHM to the Bangles, "Walk Like an Egyptian," perhaps an answer track to Bob playing "King Tut" this morning?  Anyway, I'd be chair-dancing now if my back would allow.

P.S.  Before my orientation was fully formed, I had mini-crushes on all four Bangles, but especially Michael Steele and the drummer.

"He's not only a barbarian, but he's flaky."  That line should have been pulled from Buckaroo Banzai.

Anyway, BOS to KBC just on principle.  Where else could one ever hope to hear this?

a crush on a woman named Michael? that shoulda been a clue.

agreed; I've only ever heard this here (a Narada, for me anyway). Was this supposed to make up for "We Built This City"?

BTW, I won't deny that "America" is severly flawed: like most Kantner songs post-hemmorhage, it bounces haphazardly from one political trope to another.  All the sadder, then, that there are so few political troubadours in rock & soul today.  When's the last time a politically conscious song went Top Ten?

More or less.  Kantner left because the others (Thomas and Sears, especially) wanted to continue moving in the pop-singles direction; the KBC Band album essentially consisted of the stuff Paul had been writing that couldn't make it onto a Jefferson Starship album.  Perfect timing for Marty, who was too lazy a writer to complete another solo album on his own.

2nd BOS contender: T.Heads, one of the great songs from a movie I didn't care for.


what movie was that?


True Stories.


I enjoyed True Stories.  It had an interesting visual style, some of the stories were engaging, and the music was fine.  Of course, it was wildly uneven, and didn't add up to the sum of it's parts.  I was a big Heads fan then, and David was cool wandering through the movie in all his geeky glory.  I was also a big fan of John Goodman, and really love the version of "People Like Us" he does in the film.
Title: full list wrapup
Post by: ggould on March 03, 2005, 07:59:20 PM
3/3/05 - Thursday!  AWESOME set!  1986!!!
Stevie Nicks - I Can't Wait
Talk Talk - Life's What You Make it
XTC - Dear God (BEST OF SET!!)
Talking Heads - Love For Sale
Run DMC - Walk This Way
Bangles - Walk Like an Egyptian
KBC Band - America
Boys Don't Cry - I Wanna Be a Cowboy
Sting - Shadows in the Rain
The Call - Everywhere I Go

So, you call Stevie "The Goat?"

I thought KBC's "America" was awesome, but that's just me.  I was somewhat ivolved with the band at the time, and was at a rehearsal the day after a Miss America pageant, when the host (Gary Collins?) sang some short little ditty "Something's happening in America..." and so on.  Paul was talking lawsuits, but I imagine it was just talk.  But the juxtaposition was pretty bizarre.

well, she sings with a vibrato, so yes, in a South Park sort of way I can hear it; I guess I just  think you need to share a negative image of her as well for it to stick.  I always made more fun of her clothes before, than her vibrato.

In the SP episode, the boys send money to kids in Iraq, who respond by sending the boys a goat.  They decide to send the goat back and sneak off to the local miltary base to try to put the goat on a plane to Iraq. It so happens Stevie Nicks is scheduled to go entertain the troops and just as it seems the boys and their goat are going to get caught by the MPs, the  goat bleats and a soldier says "Oh... Miss Nicks! didn't recognize you! Go right on ahead." I thought it was hilarious, and I've called Stevie "the goat" ever since.
