9 Nov 2006--it's 1982

[ggould]

jeez, I like the bonus track a lot, and don't even know #1, 3, and 10 (not sure about #6).  Either this is an odd '82 set, or I'm just very out of touch with '82.  

11/09/2006 - Thursday! Sounds like...1982!!!

BOS to "A Town Called Malice."  I'm a sucker for that "Lust for Life"/"Touch Me"/"C'Mon Marianne"/"Are You Gonna Be My Girl" groove.  (Is there a name for it?)

don't forget "can't hurry love" and "your love (keeps lifting me higher)."

Yes!  Bump bump BAHH-da, bump-bump-ba-DAH-duh!

(Can we come up with 10 of 'em?)

H&O, "Maneater".

Stevie Wonder, "Part-Time Lover," then.

also: The Clash's "Hitsville UK" contains that baseline/riff, iirc. And Annie Golden's great, overlooked "Hang Up the Phone" from the Sixteen Candles sndtk.
