8 July 2014: It's... a Year o' Mystery (1982)

[RGMike]

No thread last nite. And I didn't hear a promo this morning.

Mystery year: "Destination Unknown" by Missing Persons to start. heh.

PG, "Shock the Monkey". So, the year is '82.

That's how I'm reading it. Loved this album when it was released (and really, it's still pretty great). Just not this song.

[RGMike]

We're getting Wimbledon clips between songs.

Fixx, "Stand or Fall' -- we're in FF-y tried-and-true territory so far.

[RGMike]

The Church, "Unguarded Moment" -- def a rarity, methinks. BOS1.

[RGMike]

Cheers --> Go-Go's rather unfortunate cover of "Cool Jerk".  But a rarity is a rarity and that's 2 in a row.

[RGMike]

more Cheers --> uber-LN "Don't You Want Me"

[RGMike]

LN-whatever Marshall Crenshaw, "Someday Someway"

Like the singer, liked the song, heard it way too much, particularly on 10@10.

VHM Split Enz in a leaky boat.  An old Morey fave, iirc.

That's my recollection, too. And a fave of mine as well, likely to get my BOS vote once the set is done.

[RGMike]

eek, F.Mac's "Hold Me" is also an uber-LN at this point.

Care to wager on whether this takes the GS BOS vote? Quite a few folks over there think Stevie and Lindsey et al walk on water.

I'm enjoying the set, probably because I avoided all the LN's at the time during my classic rock discovery phase.
