3 June 2016: It's 1979!
« on: June 03, 2016, 10:50:43 AM »
This has always been one of the most diverse years of the later 70s, thanks to the rise of new wave & punk. I'll be curious to hear how DW interprets it.
Let's get right to it.

I'm listening now, but may not be able to get through it all before lunch...

2. Peter Frampton, I Can’t Stand It No More


This would appear to be a bustout -- BOS from me, certainly an underrated single of the period.  Everything else is various shades of  FF/LN.

But VHM to that KFRC "Rhythm of the City" jungle -- how long were they a disco station? Is that where DM worked for a while?

I'll say that the best part of these sets are the clips, since he's clearly had to compile his own, and therefore we're not hearing the oft-repeated library of sound-bites that KFOG had available.

Wow, haven't heard this in years! I'm listening to the song now (Youtube).

Also, "Bob Mayo on keyboards.... Bob Mayo."
