The Peak, 5/8/08: 1980

[RGMike]

arrived in time for Stevie's "Master Blaster; now it's the Plimsouls, "Zero Hour" -- BOSFRA.

[RGMike]

VHM the Dan.  Funny -- bet a lot more "Nineteen"-year-olds in 2008 know 'retha Franklin than in 1980.

OMGWTFLOL!!! Human Sexual Response, "Jackie Onassis"  this trumps "BatDance" as bustout-of-the-month. If you've never heard this, PLEASE catch the replay tonite.

Got in for the replay, just in time for tune #3 Jim Carroll Band. 

[mshray]

Strange...Jim Carroll went straight into the Pretenders, which was tune #6 this morning.  I was afraid they were going to skip the Sherbs, which I'd never even heard of, but now it's playing.  Sounds like lesser Collins-era Genesis.  Now here's Stevie.  I wonder when the Police tune is going to pop up.

[mshray]

Now they skipped from Stevie into the Dan, bypassing the Plimsouls tune.  WTF!?  I really wanted to hear that.

[mshray]

BOS Airplane!

Johnnie, what can make of this?

This?  Oh, I can make a hat...or a brooch...or a pteradactyl...

And Yay! here's the Plimsouls afterall.  BOS #2.

[mshray]

And now finally the Police and wrapping up with HSR.  Great set, even if not at all in the order listed (and the back announce followed the listing, fwiw).
