5 May 2015: it's... 1980
« on: May 04, 2015, 08:41:16 PM »
The year of Empire Strikes Back. May the 5th be with you?  No Cinco de Mayo set then.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

for a sec I thought War's "Cinco de Mayo" was released in 1980 but it was 1981

Dear gawd: right before today's 10@10 we get Cake's "The Distance", fresh from yesterday's set. Sheesh.

Devo "Gates of Steel" TOTHK and BOS1 -- a rarity if not a Bustout.

ETA: another of AL's "played once before, 5 years ago" songs (of which there seem to be many)

BOS2 Pete T "And I Moved" -- always welcome and less-heard than "Rough Boys", methinks.

scorekeeping: the Townshend has quite a few appearances, almost all of them during the Morey era, unsurprisingly.

This SOS tune turns out to be rare: couple of DM spins and none from AL.

And this appears to be an extended dance remix I've never heard before.

Pretty fine segue, too. "There are some things you can't cover up with lipstick and powder..."

Another clever transition:

Han & Leia arguing > Warren Zevon, A Certain Girl.

Methinks they dost protest too much...
