23 May 2014: it's... 1980

[RGMike]

unless song 10 is 12 minutes long, this is a really short set.

[urth]

I'd've preferred she followed it with some actual Costello instead of this NRBQ Moreytrina.

Perhaps you're thinking of Bonnie Raitt's cover? Dave only ever played Get That Gasoline Blues and A Little Bit of Bad from the NRBQ catalog.

The Vapors "Turning Japanese"

[RGMike]

and here's another uber-uber-LN of 1980: the Vapors. Guaranteeing us the shortest set of the week.

as a bicyclist I officially must hate on this Gary Numan song, but it kicks ass!

saw Gary Numan last month at the Fillmore and it was a FANTASTIC show.  His new album -- yes he is still making music -- channels dark synth goth, a la NIN, but when he trotted out Cars and Are 'Friends' Electric?, all the awesomeness of the elder statesmen of 80s new wave was back in full force.

Turning Japanese, I heard this not 40 mins ago on Oldies 103.7 -- or maybe it was kfox.

this is the stuff I was listening to back then.

me mind is playing tricks on me. AL has surely played it before. And yeah, the Bonnie version has also been spun.

Don Pardo and CP30 close the set

ETA: Interestingly, AL didn't solicit BOS voting...

[Tinka Cat]

Laverne & Shirley --> NRBQ "Me & The Boys"

Holy crap!! Not a bustout, but I could hear this song every day of the week. BOS the Q.

I always think this is Rockpile.

or, the shortest set of the weak!

I'd say the 1985 set was weaker, but YMMV.  This one coulda used a couple more rarities, certainly.

[RGMike]

1. The Clash - Clampdown
2. Dire Straits - Solid Rock
3. The Police - Canary in a Coalmine
4. Talking Heads - Crosseyed and Painless
5. Diana Ross - Upside Down
6. The English Beat - Mirror in the Bathroom
7. Linda Ronstadt - Girls Talk
8. NRBQ - Me and the Boys
9. Gary Numan - Cars
10. The Vapors - Turning Japanese

The LNs get BOS: 2-way tie between The Vapors and Gary Numan, says AL.

if it were a DM 1980, maybe we'd hear 'Althea.'

Feel Like a Stranger, Lost Sailor/Saint of Circumstance would be wonderful bust-outs.

[dischead]

I think this set would have been improved with more synths...

Thursday's 1973 set was okay, but otherwise I did not think much of the shows this week.  Maybe
it's just me, but I haven't even been motivated enough to comment on them.  Oh well...
