The Peak, 3/28/08: 1980
« on: March 28, 2008, 07:21:12 AM »
arrived in time for bane-of-Gaz, fave-of-mine: The Jags' Elvis C imitation "Back of My Hand". One of the great New Wave OHWs of the period, still sounds great on the radio.

I missed "Flo & Eddie on backing vox" on you-know-what, as well as another trad WOS, "Emotional Rescue"

But OMGWTFLOL! Here's The Teardrop Explodes, "When I Dream". BOS2 after the Jags.  Rob really knows his New Wave gems.

segging from Prince to Seger's "Against the Wind": a musical non-sequitur, but yet totally 1980.

and we close with -- BOS4 -- Phil Lynott, "The King's Call". Wow, a few frequent flyers notwithstanding, this was superb. VERY sorry to have missed Joy Division.  Worth catching on the replay fo' sho'!

Bruce Springsteen Hungry Heart
Joy Division Love Will Tear Us Apart
Rolling Stones Emotional Rescue
Jags Back Of My Hand (I've Got Your Number)
Blondie The Tide Is High
TheTeardrop Explodes When I Dream
Dire Straits Expresso Love
Prince When You Were Mine
Bob Seger Against the Wind
Phil Lynott King's Call

ETA: Rob says Elvis C was "pissed" about the Jags' imitation of him. No, really?
