Friday 3/25: It's 1969!

[RGMike]

Y'all know I loves the Moodies, but when you consider how often Dave culls tracks from this album, isn't it astonishing how seldom he plays anything else from them?

didn't we recently hear them in an 80s set?

I was gonna say that Dave plays 'em often enough, but I figured Mark probably thinks I always disagree with him :wink:  

But -- Dave being perverse -- he does seem to play them more in the '80s than in their peak artistic years.

So which Moody song was it?

GAAH! Busy day here at Cubicle Hell. Missed the Friday set. Alas.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Dave's been playing a lot of B-Day requests of late -- gives me hope for what I'm gonna lay on him for mine.

I've been thinking similar thoughts. Somebody else grabbed my "garage-band" idea a few months back, but I've got another one percolatiing.

I'll tell mine if you spill yours....

I'm planning to ask for a 1969 Soul Patrol (some guy stole my '73 SS idea recently) with one caveat -- it MUST include Barbara Acklin's "Love makes A Woman", a great record and legit top 20 hit.  Dave (or the Fogheads) can pick the other 9 songs.  It's my 50th, fercryinoutloud! If he refuses I'll be quite bummed.

My plan is a Power Pop set, stuff like the Flamin Groovies, Cheap Trick, Raspberries, Big Star, Bad Finger, Todd Rundgren etc. I'm thinking I should pitch it as a 1970-79 Vertical Tasting, but the late 70s might be a bit slim pickings. And there's a couple of later artists I want to include, like Matthew Sweet (haven't picked which one yet) so I'll have to give the whole concept some more consideration. But I've got nearly 6 months, so I've got time.

Of course, if they decide to make a big deal over KFOG's anniversary, I'm screwed. 'Cuz their birthday is my birthday.

Well, it's their 23rd, not really a milestone.  a 1982 set isn't really a given on that date anymore.
