Starting with the first song, I already have high hopes. Girl of My Dreams, Bram T.

...into TP & the HBs, Even the Losers.

High jangle factor in this set so far.

Hoping maybe for some Cheap Trick, just this once. This was their big year, IIRC.

Woo Hoo, BOS BT!

Didya notice that Dave's McDonald's blurb is now about chicken instead of beef?  A reference to Mr Foley, no doubt :wink:

the Original Narada makes an appearance.

per Whitburn, this didn't actually chart as a single until Feb of 1980.

Shoulda been--that trade for Pierszynski (sp?) may well go down as the Giants' worst deal since Orlando Cepeda for Ray Sadecki. All three of the pitchers the TCs got out of us have had pretty good success. All we got was an asshole who was sent packing after one season.

DS, BOS2 here. This is sounding really really nice. Love Knopfler's guitar tone here--fab fingerpicking.

Funny, I do too. They both had that kinda-weird-for-the-time production style that Gary Numan would capitalize on a year or so later. New Wave when it was truly new.

I'm sure Dave's played it but it's hardly one of the usual suspects.
