Yeppers! And Instant BOS2 to Bowie, showing signs of his leanings to Philly soul with 1984.


Good observation.  What album was that on?  Aladdin Sane?


Diamond Dogs, I think. Probably his most overlooked album of that era.


Dude, I am saying right now, after only 3 songs, YOU MUST TAPE FOR US!!!

Pretty please with sugar on top?


Unfortunately I can't. I have a class tonight that doesn't let out til after 10, so won't be home to press the button til some time after the set starts. I'm no longer set up to do the timer recording thing, and I leave for England on Wednesday, so getting the marathon replay is out for me too. Sorry.

Big f*cking Sledgehammer of Set.  I didn't really discover this until is was 14 or 15 (3+ yrs later) but the following lyrics got me through some dark, dark adolescent times:


if I could have something....

if I could be something...

(you can be anything you want boy)

if I could be someone...

(you can be anyone you want to, celebrate boy!)

If I could do something...

(Well you can do something)

If I could do anything...

(Well can you do something out of this world?)

Man, I think almost anything by Jethro Tull is still very listenable...

BOS for Jethro Tull.  A really great, uplifting song.  (Though not ALL sweetness and light...)

BOS Tull
« Reply #21 on: May 15, 2006, 10:22:17 AM »
I think I was ranting recently about  Traffic, and it also seems like Tull deserves to be remembered more than I think they do.  It wouldn't kill KFOG to spin a little JT once in a while.

BOS #5 Tull, another sledgehammer a few years later!

...Looking for a si-ign,
that the Universal mi-ind
has written you into the Passion Play...

...Do you ever get the feelin',
that the story's too damn real & in
the Present
Tense.

Me neither!  The song that put the Eurovision Song Contest on the map in America.

Not so sold on "Dreamer" -- if I want relentless keyboard mania, I'll take Sparks's "This Town's Not Big Enough for the Both of Us," which I only recently discovered -- but the Tull's nice too.

Ooh, and more swirling strings, as we give BOS4 to Eddie Kendricks.

Is there a name for the declining and slightly softening vocal technique that gets echoed by the horns, that goes like:

AAH-a-uh-aah-a-uh-aah-a-uh-aah

Because I really like that, and I think there's a War song that copies it but I can't think of it.

Man, Dave is really plucking my melancholly heartstrings today.

I'd normally find Wet Willie to be a bit of a Katrina, but after the Supertramp & the Tull, this just takes me back.
