Also quite timely (and a great segue): Israel's invasion of southern Lebanon into Stand or Fall.


I keep hoping someone will trot out Human League's unjustly ignored "The Lebanon".


Ditto that, such a great song.

Oooh, here's that voice..."More Than This" BOS #3.

Talk about songs which are at least, if not more relevant today:

She dreams of nineteen sixty-nine
Before the soldiers came
The life was cheap on bread and wine
And sharing meant no shame
She is awakened by the screams
Of rockets flying from nearby
And scared she clings onto her dreams
To beat the fear that she might die

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon
The Lebanon

Before he leaves the camp he stops
He scans the world outside
And where there used to be some shops
Is where the snipers sometimes hide
He left his home the week before
He thought he'd be like the police
But now he finds he is at war
"Weren't we supposed to keep the peace"

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon
The Lebanon
The Lebanon
From the Lebanon

I must be dreaming
It can't be true
I must be dreaming
It can't be true

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone?
From the Lebanon
The Lebanon
The Lebanon
From the Lebanon

reminds me of a night in the  early 70's down in Sunnyvale.  Some kids plowed through a stop sign, hit another car, and one kid (probably on reds) kept doing this screaming "Dude!  you were cruisin!" thing to the other kid.

WOW!!! A Flock of Seagull's bustout.  BOS "Telecommunication"

Another BOS, the Waitresses.  Dave suddenly cranks this set up a couple of notches.

That car wreck clip with Spicoli from Fast Times is starting to sound a little too familiar. But the songs that's following it, Telecommunication by Flock of Seagulls and The Waitresses' I Know What Boys Like--the first is likely a bustout, and I haven't heard the latter here for a good while.

Waitresses may be a bustout too -- I can't remember Dave playing it. Certainly a rarity.

How can FOS and BOS exist in the same sentence?

Girls in baggy overalls with hair under their arms, could they possibly get this video on the air today?

Best Zeitgeist anyway, Dexy's.

I think a great case can be made that their debut LP was terrific synthpop.

BOS Come On Eileen.  I know it's so overplayed but I just really Still Love this song!!

Also BOS2 for the Waitresses.  And I really liked the Jeff Spicoli clip... reminds me how good that movie was at least for all of his scenes.

Both are new to the Db, and for that to happen twice in an 80's set is pretty rare for Dave.

as far as AFOS goes, Dave plays "I Ran" and "Space Age Love Song" regularly, but even "Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)" is only in there once.
