Nice that request threads are making a comeback.  I really hope that we're not going to get our second 2005 set in 2 weeks; I'm thinking maybe an outer-space themed set for Fri instead?

Well, we've had 1999 and now 1980. Presumably 1977 will appear, with of course Meco. 1982 and 2002 to fill out the week makes sense (with 77 being Friday).

Between you and me and whoever else is paying attention, I don't need to read/hear/see anything regarding Star Wars for the rest of my life.

Well, I could do without all the hype and the commercial tie-ins and Star Wars themed 10@10 weeks, but I *will* need to see the movie.

Eventually, anyway.  After Christmas.  Unless it gets really awful reviews.  But I expect that won't be the case with JJ Abrams at the helm.

Yeah. I get that the movie will be good. Just don't need to be reminded every second.

I feel the same way about Adele. Yeah -- talented. But she's EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME.

I'm stunned, I tell you! I had no idea. (I wonder if she really meant to play this one.)

Yes and yes. Safe to say this is a bustout? BOS1 in any case.

ETA: Actually, turns out it's Roxy, from Flesh + Blood. Not a record I know well, obviously.

BOS for Roxy.  I don't recall ever hearing that before, but I must have listened to that album at least once back in the day, so I'm surprised I don't remember it.  Sure made an impression on me this morning.

Ever since yesterday I've been trying to imagine clever segues from movie dialogue to songs from that year.  For example there's plenty of times that the Millennium Falcon has mechanical issues, and that could segue into or out of Boz's "Breakdown Dead Ahead" in 1980.

...and it's a shame that Yoda didn't appear in the first movie, because then we could segue from him to Randy Newman's "Short People."

 ;) ;) ;)
