BOS2 King Crimson, Heartbeat. I remember the feeling...


Such a fine line sometimes between good prog (this) and dreck like Asia.

BOS3 Sparks!

I don't think I've heard this before.  I recognized Adrian Belew, but this track has got a distinct Todd vibe to it.

This was the single off Beat, the second album from the early 80s incarnation of Crimso.  Belew, Fripp, Tony Levin on bass & chapman stick and Bill Bruford on drums. One of the most powerful bands I've ever seen.

Real competition for BOS today between this, the Crimson and the Enz tracks. I went for KC.

"They're gonna find the Queen is a man, but nobody will care.  I predict!

They're gonna stop Saturday nights, so you better have fun - NOW!  I predict.
They're gonna stop havin' the Sun, so you better get tan - NOW!  I predict."

ETA: but I didn't predict that weak Santana would beat out all the other exemplary stuff in this set...and from the sound of it, neither did Dave.

Pretty great '82 set. Heavy on the prog and pseudo prog, but very good. No Henley, no Men at Work, no problem.

So did Talk Talk name themselves after this song?
Short Answer: yes

for the whole story: http://wc06.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:gifoxqr5ldae~T1

I always think of the Music Machine's song "Talk Talk" but no mention of that in AMG.  I guess if it's that old, it never happened.

OK, there's your Larry Craig clip--into Johnny Are You Queer?!!!

Segue of the week, maybe the month!!


I actually missed it the first time around, but hearing it now on the replay, all I can say is OH MY GOD!!

Not just that Dave dug that out (wouldn't be surprised if someone sent that to him actually), but Larry Craig sounded as utterly unconvincing as it is possible to sound.

As I said yesterday -- the clip made it clear his name hadn't been mentioned (in fact no one's names had been made public), yet he felt compelled to issue a denial anyway!   And of course it was right after that, that this "lifelong batchelor" suddenly got married to a woman with 2 kids and acquired ready-made family values. Sheesh.

I trotted the Music Machine song out last night after reading this, hadn't heard it in years.  So similar to Love's "My Little Red Book"!

I guess they both fall into that proto-punk category.
