7 Aug 2015: it's... 1981!!
« on: August 06, 2015, 10:30:43 PM »
No thread as of 10:30pm.  Could it be an Outside Lands-related set?  Or could it be a "classic", if AL is attending said Festival?

ETA: In any case, I might be able to listen (driving), but I won't be able to post (because I'm driving).  Take notes if you can!

Or maybe both: a pre-compiled Outside Lands set?

Or maybe neither. Turns out we get a completely AL-created 1981 set.

TOTHK: Stones, Hang Fire. One of my faves from Tattoo You.

Ronco smokeless ashtray ad > Kinks - Destroyer.

Love the Kinks, not missing this song so much however. Always did get a smile from the way they recycled the "All Day and All of the Night" riff however.

Big LN for Billy Idol dancing with himself. Keep it to yourself, Bill.

3. Billy Idol Generation X - Dancing With Myself

Or is this Generation X?

ETA: Backsell reveals that it was in fact Gen X.

BOS for Squeeze. (Pretty sure it was Billy Idol for the previous song.)

4. Squeeze - Is That Love?

Not so many clips today, or maybe it just seems that way after the Jon Stewart-a-thon yesterday.

5. Human League - Love Action (I Believe in Love)

Yes, likely a rarity, but not one I can get excited about.

Hoping it's not the only one.

This Happy Birthday song sure sounds rare to me. NTM, and unidentifiable.

Sounds like Siousie Sioux as a tween.

Likewise, but probably as much because it's of that time. But def a rarity, if not a first-timer.

A little better.
Interestingly relevant info from Wikipedia about Altered Images:
With additional guitarist Jim McKinven, they recorded their debut album, Happy Birthday (1981), largely produced by Steve Severin of Siouxsie and the Banshees. The band also worked briefly with producer Martin Rushent (who had garnered tremendous success producing The Human League that year), who notably produced the title track, which became the band's third single and their biggest hit.

Clare Grogan, their lead singer, was 19 at the time this was made.
