KBCO, 4/25/07: it's 1983
« on: April 25, 2007, 09:01:43 AM »
Ginger kicks of with "Electric Avenue", but not before playing a snippet of "Baby Come Back" & reminding her audience that they probably first heard Eddie in 1968.  

Ginger rules!

ETA:  She also said that Bonnie Raitt covered "Baby Come Back", which I've never heard or heard of until now.

I wish someone would dig up the Jewish-themed parody, "Fairfax Avenue", by Oy George & Kosher Club.

"Ve gonna schlep down to
Fairfax Avenue..."

VHM Marshall Crenshaw. '83 is a sledgehammer-y year for me.

I agree that she totally does, but the first 2 songs are Morey staples as well.

VHM2 Michael Keaton when he was good.

VHM Mr. Mom clip (been there, done that) - "I yelled at Kenny for coloring outside the lines! Megan and I are starting to watch the same TV shows. I'm liking them... I'm losing it!"

Hope you're back at 10, because I have a 10:00 conf. call.  We can compare notes later.

I hope to be, tho' after '81 and '78, I suspect a '90s "classic" may be in the offing.

Dylan's "Sweatheart Like You", almost as big an OMGWTFLOL as the New Order, BOS #3.

...not a BOS vote, but I love the line "they got the power supplies in the soles of their feet" from JB's "For A Rocker".

VHM Ms. Pac-Man commercial.  Didja know that the guy at Atari who invented this game originally named it Puck-Man?  But the guy who acquired US distribution rights correctly figured that within minutes (if not seconds) of being plugged into a US arcade that 'P' would have gotten scratched out into an 'F'.

called Ginger to share that bit of trivia (which I only learned yesterday!) and to tell her how much I enjoyed hearing the New Order & Dylan bustouts.  We had a nice chat.  She even asked me how the new job is going.
