we'll get one well-worn disco classic, I'm sure. The days of interesting requests are over, sadly.

Here's To Ya's deliberately obvious suggestions made me LOL -- are the people who clicked "like" being ironic too?  ;)

Some, I think.

Here's more snark:

DB: They make methadone for 10@10 addicts?
JH: Yes, D, it's called Constandone

I might get unfriended, but it's worth it.

I just requested #1 songs, which I realized belatedly don't necessarily equate with Katrinas. "Tragedy" in particular would fit the set well. The kind of thing that's fun to do, once.

And yeah, I do agree the irony is lost amongst many. Oh well, that's what makes it so much fun.

cheap sunglasses will disguise the familiar feeling of this set, perhaps.

I have a 10:30 meeting but I suspect I won't miss much by leaving early.

"Prime Time" was the Tubes?!  Wow - it was NTM, and I almost thought it could have been Donna Summer and Brooklyn Dreams.

Yes, it's something that looks like cheese and tastes like wood.  But I'll eat it.

no hate for the Cars here. 
Necessary?  puh-lease...   
Good?  of course!

BOS Tubes and Gary Numan
HM to The Pink Floyd.  Run Like H*** is a great song, but you can pretty much hear it every day b/w the Bone and the Fox.

I think this would qualify as an F/A in terms of good/necessary.

the female vocalist, whom I just found out is a woman named Re Styles (born Shirley Marie MacLeod), sounds a lot like Deb Harry to me.

oh, OK -- I thought Gaz's implication was that this was a diff woman. Re Styles is the chick on "Don't Touch Me There" too, yes?

Agreed! That's why I requested it (although I get the feeling the song was programmed in months ago).

1/19/12-Thursday! Lovin' the Variety of 1979!
  1. Robert Palmer – Bad Case of Lovin' You (Doctor, Doctor)
(TV: Trapper John MD)
  2. ZZ Top -  Cheap Sunglasses
(TV interview: The Clash)
  3. The Clash – The Clampdown (B.O.S!)
(Movie: Norma Rae-- union!!)
  4. Sniff 'n' the Tears – Driver's Seat
(TV: Tom Snyder )
  5. The Tubes - Prime Time
(TV: Three’s Company)
  6. Jefferson Starship – Jane
(News: Cronkite/ Three Mile Island Nuke Plant leak)
  7. Gary Numan and the Tubeway Army – Are 'Friends' Electric?
(Movie: The Jerk-"I only have 2 things-my friends & ...my thermos")
  8. The Cars – Let's Go
(Movie: Escape from Alcatraz)
  9.  Pink Floyd – Run Like Hell
("Hey baby, my name is Tony-Would you care to dance?")
 10. The Sugarhill Gang – Rapper's Delight

Too busy with work to listen this morning.  So no one commented on the Gary Numan tune?!   Despite the many 'unsurprising' familiar tunes, on the whole the set IS what 1979 rock radio sounded like, save for Rapper's Delight, a reminder of the days when rap was harmless fun.

For better or worse, that's certainly true.

The Gary Numan is a rarity but not a bustout.

Yes, same one. She was Fee's onstage female foil--she would ride in with him on a Harley for DTMT, then tie him to the drum riser and flog him during "Mondo Bondage."   I'm sure there were other bits, but those two stick with me. I think she was involved with Prairie Prince, the band's drummer, at the time.

I spaced on the set. Thought about it when I was driving about 11:30. Looking at the recap, Pink Floyd is all that pleases me. Rappers Delight still gets plenty of play on KISS. Ah said a hip hop a hippie hippie to the hip hip hop ya don't stop.....I'm gonna freak ya here, I'm gonna freak ya there...
