12 June 2015: it's... 1980!
« on: June 11, 2015, 10:15:39 PM »
No request thread as of 10:15pm...

Will we get a late '60s set?  Or will we get our first visit to 2004 or 2005?

ETA: AL posted the thread after midnight... 1980!

If the Cap'n and me (heh) each get a request played I'll consider it a major triumph.

pre-set: Killers, "Somebody Told Me", which I don't recall being in rotay before.  Ditto No Doubt's "Bathwater" which I heard just before 6am.

I get why we hear this so often (lots of potential for segues from various news items), but there are several other great songs on Black Sea that we never hear (Respectable Street, No Language in Our Lungs, Towers of London, Sgt. Rock). Just a little variety, that's all I ask.

BOS Prince.

Bill Murray lounge singer --> "Love Will Tear Us Apart". One of the truly great records of that year, but (again) far from being a rarity.

Points for a clever segue:

SNL Nick the lounge singer bit about Love Canal > Joy Division, Love Will Tear Us Apart.

She may have used that combo before, but it's still smile-worthy.

Pete T likes his boys "Rough".  def an LN at this point, much as I loved it at the time. How people missed the gayness of it remains astounding.

Great song, but man was it short.

Pete Townshend's "coming out" LP. A great work, but not so necessary these days.

Miracle on ice clip > A cover of Israelites I don't think I have ever heard.

ETA: Soundhound tells me it's actually Desmond Dekker, from an album called The Stiff Singles. Did DD do a remake for Stiff in their heyday? That's what it's sounding like.
