Hoping for no fire alarms today.

Pat Benatar, breakin' hearts and takin' names, leads it off.
Let's get right to it.

I was hoping Dave'd keep the '70s fire burning after Bob & Ginger's fine sets.  But Ms Benatar and Junkie Major Tom will suffice, I guess.

Three songs in and it's strictly album rock so far. Will we hear Jim Carroll? Peter Gabriel? Gary Numan? The Kings? We can only hope.

Well, here's that inevitable Katrina/Narada (at least for me), Invisible Man's Band, "All Night Thing". Closest we'll get to pop/funk today, I'll bet, unless Blondie or Kool & the Gang show up.

yeesh, ChrisCross, "Sailing" away again -- Dave played this pretty recently, no?

and now it's the Money Man, who apparently sailed all the way to "Trinidad".

Don't know about you, Mike, but this set has mostly been a miss for me. Just this U2 song is about the only thing that's really caught my ear.

BOS(U)2. Bono when he was young and (relatively) unpretentious.

Which turns out to have been "Spot the Vinyl".

Huh -- I've never listened to "One Trick Pony".  Or at least, not that closely.  Nice.

Segue into... Van Halen?  Uh, ok.  Also enjoyable, but I thought I'd actually make it from the parking lot up to my desk in time to finish it off via the stream.  Dangit, I never quite make it.

Setlist, anyone?

--Darryl

BTW, I'm really digging Ray Lamontagne's new groovy direction.  First album was good, but somewhat depressing.  I should give it another listen though, it's been a while.

Indeed, a nice change from the overplayed "Late in the Evening" -- the movie flopped, and so "OTP", the follow-up single to the Top ten "LITE", pretty much flopped too.  And it looks like the setlist-posting intern is asleep today.
