1 Aug 2007: "an amazing set" sez Dave (1981)

[ggould]

smooth stylin' indeed

I can go for "I Can't Go For That!"

[urth]

sweet relief! h&o

I'll spot them a VHM, but Dave played this song only a couple months ago.

I'll concur--also, they have better songs in their catalog.

[RGMike]

I'll BOS3 H&O, since we almost had 'em yesterday.  Great almost-black artists!

[urth]

Well, it's not Shake It Up, but I can't say Since You've Gone is an improvement.

Now see, this is the opposite of "Lunatic Fringe" for me -- a song that fairly leapt off the radio in '81, and got played even on black stations, which was kind of a big deal at the time. It seemed to be everywhere you went.

well, it ain't "Shake it Up", but it's the Cars nonetheless: WOS2 "Since You've Gone".

jinx, you two.
i *hate* the cars!!!!

[mshray]

WOS Cars.

Okay, I'm officially BUMMED OUT.  Could anything be worse than missing Ginger's fab 1971 set in favor of having your tooth drilled down to the gums, and then being told that if you don't come back soon for a crown ($645 out-of-pocket) on another tooth you're looking at a root canal?

And now I'm listening to Dave's false-advertising, less-than amazing 1981 set as the novacaine wears off.  Cosby was right - Novacaine doesn't kill pain, it just postpones it.

[urth]

Well, it's not Shake It Up, but I can't say Since You've Gone is an improvement.

Rhyming "mess" with "treacherous"--not good songcraft.

No, NOT a strong set, Dave.

[RGMike]

sorry, Dave, one bustout does NOT an "amazing set" make.  Esp when "Lunatic Fringe" wins BOS :wink:

"Cars when they were GOOD"? Oh, Dave.

[RGMike]

Well, it's not Shake It Up, but I can't say Since You've Gone is an improvement.

Rhyming "mess" with "treacherous"--not good songcraft.

and isn't this the 2nd Cars song that rhymes "sensu-ess" badly?  Or am I crazy?

[RGMike]

Cosby was right - Novacaine doesn't kill pain, it just postpones it.

Put some JELL-O pudding on it :wink:

We can't feel your pain (literally) but we feel your pain, bub.

[RGMike]

Annalisa's bonus choices (Elvis, Kinks, Squeeze) all rocked -- and Elvis' "Clubland" it is!

Hey, how 'bout a "Bourne Ultimatum" set for Friday?

Bourne to Run
Bourne to Be Alive
Bourne to Be Wild
Bourne in the USA...

might be the novacaine, but I just sent Dave the following email:

Now I know you'll be in SJ on Friday, so this is mostly just for our own amusement, but WTF, maybe you'll think this is a cool idea.  I mean, when else is the idea even possible?

At minimum I hope it's worth a grin.

Best,

Mark
