it's.... Car Songs. "Mercury Blues", El Rayo-X, baby!


BOS for me, and IIRC, this really is the best song in the set.


Methinks you be correct.


VHM for Ian Dury though.

Hey didja hear that little snippet of "Rocket 88"?  Acoording to most music historians that is the very first Rock 'N' Roll song.

Wow, this version of Autobahn is unmistakeably from vinyl. Lots o' pops and clicks.

Don't remember. If this is the set I think it is, I remember it got played when they did the Ten 10@10s for 10/10 in 2001. But I can't tell you much about it beyond that.

I think not, and we also haven't heard Hot Rod Lincoln yet, which I think is in.

ETA: As I thought...

It's got overdrive, just won't stall.

ETA2: okay, here's the Queen.  one out of two ain't bad.

any other rock songs with the word 'carbureuter' in it?

Now if only Dave would play The Go-Go's "Skidmarks On My Heart"

Turns out you were both right....very cool.

I'm In Love With My Car gets my BOS. Roger Taylor rules.

Hand in glove with my automo-love...

Woo-hoo!  My meeting's over. And, damn- she is cute. Wow- I may have found something I actually like about my job...

Naturally, I'm all- "So, do you live in SF?" "How long have you been here?" etc to see if she says "... my husband and I just moved here" or "my boyfriend and I" or "my girlfriend and I".

Cuz more often than not- the cute ones are smart enough to say that upfront so you'll leave them alone. She didn't mention any SOs.

So, she's either single or dumb. And even if she is dumb- she's hella cute (in that glasses-wearing librarian way, of course).

Anyhoo- BOS Queen!

they're BOTH in -- back-to-back (or bumper to bumper).

I remember when "Big 98" was doing their all-'70s format a dozen years ago, they refused to play "Hot Rod Lincoln" (their research, which was probably done in Kansas, told them it was a negative).  Someone called up to request it on an all-request weekend, and the jock actually took several minutes to make fun of the guy, and of course he didn't play it. And I'm yelling at the radio, "don't you know what a beloved song that is?"  And years later Dick Bartley confirmed that it was consistently one of his most-requested tunes.

No buzzer, no Don, I guess a lot of stuff can't be accessed from the basement. And Dave had to do a live read of the station ID that usually leads into the set.
