Thurs Dec 22--it's 1987

Did I hear correctly? Yikes, another 80s set--we're back to the old tradition of mediocre 80s sets when Dave's on holiday.

Oh my yes.  Except for yesterday, this has been one lame-ass week.

If I hear some Love & Rockets, T'Pau, Communards or Swing Out Sister I'll forgive him, but not much else from '87 fells like it's overdue.

betcha 10 bucks we hear Fleetwood Mac "Little Lies".

ETA:  goes without saying that we WON'T get "When Smokey Sings", much to Mike's & my ongoing disappointment.

From Wang Chung to Jon Astley...

Since I know there's almost never been a really good '87 set (IMHO), I'm gonna bail. Talk to ya thru today, and I'll be around for Ginger & Dave tomorrow -- before I head out to see King Kong.  Merry Happy and Happy Merry, all!

Special wishes to Gaz for a swift end to the MTA strike (I hear they're talking, at least).

Okay, "Solitude Standing" instead of "Luka" is not bad.

I'm betting on Robbie Robertson and/or Pink Floyd. Or George Harrison.

Wish I could convince Dave to play the Bears' Fear is Never Boring--a great song, and it's beatle-y enought I'd think he'd dig it.

Indeed.  And the line from this to "Sunny Came Home" suddenly seems a short one.

Was forming the same thought.

Hearing this Chris Isaak makes me realize that we got a much smaller dose of him in '05 than previous years, at least in the 2nd half.

I've been considering the current trend in year selections lately. It seems to me that the most-commonly played years--at least for the latter half of 05--have been from 1975 to 1988 or so, while formerly common years such as 71 through 74 have now become as infrequent as the 60s used to be (and still are, although we're getting a wider range of 60s years, now that DM has rediscovered 65 and 66.)  I haven't had a chance to tabulate the stats for this year yet, but I'm hoping to do so, perhaps next week. I'm anxious to find out if reality supports my instincts or if I'm just trippin'.

ETA: if this is the case, it would be attributable to the aging of the populace, and the fact that people who were born in the 70s are now skewing into the KFOG demographic. The general KFOG playlist seems to be containing far more 80s-vintage songs than it did even five years ago.

Same is true of Joni.  I wonder if they've not been "testing" well of late.

Hearing Dave's AIDS news clips always leaves me with a quilt complex.

*double groan*

but, amongst my very pun-intentional extended family, a "groaner" is actually the highest compliment one can give.

I sure wish that our avatars weren't interactively updated.  It would be cool to look back on this page someday & see all the santa hats.
