Rob in his element: uber-uber-BOS SSJ&tAJs, "This Time It's for Real", baby.

BOS3 Graham Parker's fab cover of "Hold Back the Night"


Damn: one of my fave little-heard Iggles cuts from Hotel Calif, "Wasted Time". BOS4

excellent stuff and well worth catching on the replay.

ETA: listened to the replay -- this was just stellar. Can you imagine DC letting RR play Southside Johnny in '77 -- much less as the TOTHK?  I'd forgotten how much I liked "Amnesia" so BOS5.

DefLep, Crapton, Eddy Grant, ZZT, ATF.  Awfully DC/RR so far. oy: the Durannies too, "Rio"

Greg Kihn's in Jeopardy. And so is this set. And heeere's Prince in his red car.

jeebus: Bowie, "Lets Dance". This has been one radio hit after another. And -- appropriately -- we conclude with "Overkill". Yeesh.
