Quote from: "Gazoo"
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


TANC: I was humming that very Sparks song this moring -- brought my "history of new wave" mix tapes to the gym yesterday, and I put that song on one of them. Incorrectly, as it turned out; I only discovered it in the early '80s and was unaware it had been around since '74.

BOS5 to "You're No Good," though I associate it with '75.  TANC: I just heard the Betty Everett original at the Cowgirl Hall of Fame restaurant over brunch yesterday.

Quote from: "RGMike"
another BOS to Ms Ronstadt's "You're No Good", the single that (finally) broke her career wide open.

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


And still more strings, in the coda of the Ronstadt tune. Damn fine set. Damn fine.

Sparks is on my New Wave Progenitors tape, with the likes of Bowie, Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel...

If y'all find yourselves with time to kill (and broadband access), go to YouTube.com and search for Sparks videos.  Between TTABEFTBUU and "Mickey Mouse" on SNL, one has to think that Thanksgiving dinner at the Mael household would be the Most Interesting Day Ever.

the post-set set gives us both Gnarls Barkley AND that damn "Cash Machine" song, which tells you how often they're getting played per day.

still waiting for the bonus -- Foghead contestant admits: "I'm one of those guys who dials before you even ask the question..." And so he doesn't have a f---ing clue what the answer is.

Well, what a crappy day for a 2 hour meeting that started at 9.  BOS for pretty much everything 'cept Supertramp and ABBA.  Special Favorite song covered by J. Geils award goes to B. Womack.  Though their cover of Waterloo kicks butt too.  :?  :o  :roll:
