Disco lives forever on 10at10.  I was thinking earlier that "Bad Girls" really seemed odd in this set, but now it's starting to fit in.  A real transitional time.  It's too bad more people aren't around, 'cause this is a real interesting set.

BOS5 Chic, "My Forbidden Lover", which deserved to be a bigger hit.

I'll never forget the day that Dave Herman, the morning guy on NYC prog-FM'er WNEW-FM, played "Hot Stuff" -- he told his audience it was "interesting -- the supposed long-awaited 'rock-disco fusion'". And he was DELUGED with angry phone calls from the "disco sucks" crowd.

Are "Lindsay & Heather" the new Jose?

Whoa.  Can't really see how they would be. Are you the "person who appreciates Chic as much as Dave does"?

Ha! No, I didn't send him a vote today.  But this is the second time in a week that we've gotten a shout-out to Lindsay & Heather, whoever they are.

You guys haven't changed clocks yet, eh? I missed the set again.

Hey, good point.  Must be coming this weekend, but it's usually before Halloween, eh?  Or maybe I'm just reaaaaally confoooooosed.

It's this weekend -- but it used to be the weekend before Halloween. It was extended, beginning last year.

I got online at 10:30, but my browser automatically dials up KFOG's stream at 9:55 AM (via an applescript), and since my inline player (Flip4Mac plugin for apple QT) will buffer the stream, I can start listening anytime.  So when you guys were hearing Heart, I just started hearing the TOTHK. 

lotsa BOS votes for me: Roxy Music, chic sounds great, too!

eta: and the Kinks and Elvis Costello's great cover of a great song get more BOS votes!   
It's a voting party!

I woulda voted for Chic for sure, so maybe I'm the guy who loves Chic as much as Dave.  I had this vinyl back in the day.  Danced to Chic a lot in my summer as an exchange student that year.

They're support staff there at the station. Big pals of Dave's if this blog is to be believed:

BONUS TRACK:  Tim Curry – I Do the Rock

Damn! I usually stay tuned for the Bonus in 1979 sets because that's Annalisa's fave BT -- she plays it several times a year. Sorry I missed it.
