30 May 2007: it's... 1975
« on: May 30, 2007, 09:38:58 AM »
I have a hunch about either '75 or '77.

Psychic abilities strike again!  Best double palindrome of set: ABBA SOS. (the only time in chart history that's happened, BTW.)

Judging by Dave's little "ABBA nudge nudge comment" it could be either.

And it's '75! Leading off with S-O-S.

Strange Madge --- ICK!

Betting on Ambrosia, Ace, and/or 10cc.

Given my lousy track record of prognostication yesterday, I'm leaving the crystal ball in the closet.

all hail the Mighty Zep!  BOS "Trampled under Foot", the closest thing to a dance record in their catalog.

Not a bad set so far, but this is a take on '75 I've heard before (and know well). As I've said often of late, waiting for that bustout (or at least a rarely played tune) to put this set over the top. Disregarding what I said about the crystal ball, a little dose of Mondo Bondage would do just that. (Love WDYWFL, but we've heard it.)

Mike's crystal ball seems to be in working order tho--here's 10cc's Blackmail.

and 10cc appear -- but i didn't really need psychic powers for this. If only I could "Blackmail" Dave into playing "Life is a Minestrone" some time.

Oh dear god no--not The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald....

ETA: Nope, just a sound clip of a radio exchange about the actual wreck, not the song. Dwight Twilley follows instead.

the gales of November, remembered. But the Lightfoot song was a hit in '76, so you're, um, rescued.

jeez, even Bruce represented by a Katrina.  

Sweet came closest to lighting a fire, but this was pretty by-the-numbers today.
