What the hell? Was Dave trying to make a date with the Birthday Boy?


sure sounded like it to me...  remember, Irish Greg said "Dave's always looking."  Dave once commented that he & I should get together and "compare record collections", wink wink.

What did I not hear?


DM mentioned that Fitz, the birthday kid who suggested the set, said he always celebrated his birthday at the Hippo on Van Ness. Dave then suggested that he and Fitz meet on the corner of Van Ness & Pacific & hang out and eat some ice cream...or something.  :wink:

Heh heh. I used to go the Hippo too. They had a hamburger sundae. Burger patty with ice cream and sundae stuff on it. Don't you dare mock me for that!

VHM Mr Ravenscroft's sax.  Another flashback, tho' not to '78... My first visit to London (Summer of '83), I actually did wind my way down Baker St and had this song in my head the whole time.

What a great album.  I think the new Luce track they play on KFOG sounds like Gerry Rafferty.

Hey Urth, I don't know if this came up when I wasn't looking, but who exactly is your avatar?  I know I lose frink points for having to ask, but all I can think is that it looks a lot like Hank Azaria.
I was wondering if you all recogized him or what. It's Peter Gabriel in his Genesis days, with the crown of his head shaved and wearing his bat-wing headgear (from Watcher of the Skies).

This occurred to me, because of the triangle patch, but wasn't sure.  It has kind of a hippie/Robin Hood look to it I didn't associate with PG.

I'd love to show Dave my record collection, but it's quite meager compared to his.

the one about "let's buy a dog and bring him home"? Hmm, I like that song but Rafferty never occurred to me.

It's just the tonality and vocal phrasing.

I like the song, too, but I noticed that the couple of bars leading up to the title lyric sounded almost note for note like part of The Ramones "We're A Happy Family".  I called in to mention this after they'd said something about songs that sound like other songs.  So when I said "Buy A Dog" reminds me of another song, Dave & Peter both jumped in and said "Gerry Rafferty?" with the We've-already-been-over-this-before tone of voice.

So, I guess I wasn't imagining things then!
