The Peak, 12/12/05: It's 1980

and the TOTHC was a cool song I've never heard about being in the middle of New York City; Central Park West gets name-dropped in the refrain.  Vox reminded me ever so slightly of David Byrne but the music did not.  Anyone ID this one?

And now, a cover of "Little Sister" that I'd never heard.  Sounds almost like Roy Orbison, but there's no way -- so I'll guess one or both of the Alvins?

ETA: WHOAH -- the track ended with someone saying, "Thank you, Robert Plant!"  Percy, I never knew you could channel rockabilly!  What can't he do?

And now, some Knopfler ("Solid Rock") for Rod and Mshray.

Me too... sorry I missed Elvis from Get Happy, the LP Dave never plays. from the backannounce, that was better than any recent Dave 1980 set.
