Birthday request for Diana...how old is she again?


Not old enough.

"Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto!  You're beautiful!"

[urth]

"Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto!  You're beautiful!"

"She blinded me with science...she hit me with technology..."

A certain amount of irony listening to this while following along with Jobs' annual "one more thing" keynote from Macworld.

[RGMike]

"Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto!  You're beautiful!"

beat me to it!

I'll be surprised if this isn't auto-pilot '83 today.

WOS for The Call.

WOS for The Call.

Amen.

But a nice recovery with the Kinks, Don't Forget to Dance. (Yes, I admit to a certain bias.)

WOS for The Call.

I really liked this back in '83 -- that line about "corporate criminals playing with tanks" is sadly still resonant -- but this shows up in seemingly every '83 set.

VHM Kinks just 'cause it ain't "Come Dancing", but it ain't no bustout neither.

I agree.  Ray is practically crooning on this one.  This song does have a real cheesy 80s feel to it, no?  Reminds me of the verse parts of Pete's Slit Skirts.

"even tho' you could be their mother" -- Ray was celebrating cougars before the word existed.

And then down we go again. WOS2 Bryan Adams.

[Gazoo]

I don't know that I've heard this Bryan Adams but once in the past two decades.

[Davefish]

I don't usually vote for U2, but I like this live version of Two Hearts Beat As One.

Another potential BOS, this remix of Two Hearts. Two songs ago Ray was imploring us not to forget to dance, now Bono says "don't stop the dance..."

That's Bryan Ferry you're thinking of.  Bono can't stop the dance.
