12 Sept 2008: Dave's not here: a Classic from 1980

[RGMike]

VHM the other Benson, "Give Me the Princess".

[Tinka Cat]

well, I will have to find out later how the big wheel spins, but I don't like this Webster dude.

please elaborate -- I haven't exactly warmed up to him either, but I want to know what you dislike about him. Too young-and-snarky?

yeah, and just the wrong tonality of his voice. Not sympatico.  I don't wish him ill, he just doesn't do it for me.

He speaks with the same extra syncopation as Benson, not at all the smooth phrasing as Dave.  Sounds like he's performing, not
'talking'.

True, he does sound a lot like Benson, w a similar "I'm On The Mic Hear Me Now" affect.  I don't find him that annoying, though -- unlike Annalisa who induces me to whine back at her in a similar sing song voice... "Hello you phenomenal person, you!  Here's more Counting Crows  .. (pause) .. Enjoy! .. . (another pause) ... On KFOG!"

What if he tried announcing more like Cronkite?   

If that's the way it is, then so be it.

[RGMike]

we're only making plans for 'Trinas.

ha! I remember that Morey rant about "overplayed" songs. Er, Dave: "Magnificent Seven".

[urth]

VHM Ms Summah -- she's a wan-duh-wuh!

I remember this one now--Dave was certainly lurking this day, as he copped an excuse for the XTC and pronounced the DS song "wan-duh-wuh".

We were out tonight with my kids for my youngest daughter's birthday (24!) and the subject of Webster came up, and they knew him from Alice, so we just agreed that I was just a grumpy old man.  I guess I resent anyone who's not Dave.

I had missed the bonus track, and am astounded that they actually played "Clampdown".  If that had been in a set it woulda been an ATBB fer sure.
