12 Sept 2008: Dave's not here: a Classic from 1980

[RGMike]

Original title of this thread was : "Fear of a '90s Planet":

I'll change the thread title if Dave somehow surprises us, but I suspect we're in for a Nineties Friday.   A quick survey shows that in the past 3 months we've had '90 (twice), '91 (thrice), '92 (ditto), '93 (twice) and '95 & '96 (once each).  So we're sort of owed a '94 set (cue Weezer!) or perhaps the ever-elusive '97 -- we're still awaiting our 2nd visit there, iirc.

But I'd much prefer a theme of some sort; it's been ages since Strictly Instrumental.

But Dave's off (Webster's filling in), which means a '90s "classic" is still quite possible.

ETA: it's 1980, a month to the day (8/12) since we last visited this year.

not only has it been more than 2 1/2 yrs since a Strictly Instrumental set, it's been more than 6 months since Dave said, on air, that he was going to do one belatedly after my b-day request.  So I'm not holding my breath.

[mshray]

good thing I wasn't going to hold my breath!

well, I will have to find out later how the big wheel spins, but I don't like this Webster dude.

please elaborate -- I haven't exactly warmed up to him either, but I want to know what you dislike about him. Too young-and-snarky?

yeah, and just the wrong tonality of his voice. Not sympatico.  I don't wish him ill, he just doesn't do it for me.

He was an Alice DJ for many years.

Good start with Squeeze since I'm going to see 'em tomorrow night.

BOS Squeeze, "Another Nail..."  shraytabase types: let us know if this is indeed a "classic" or newly recorded.

da doo doo doo...

He speaks with the same extra syncopation as Benson, not at all the smooth phrasing as Dave.  Sounds like he's performing, not
'talking'.

First heard January 3, 2007, duped on November 1, 2007, now a doubledupe classic.

I don't like being double duped, but I think instead I'll go see a matinee of Burn After Reading, where Brad Pitt plays a double dupe.

[RGMike]

ooo! BOS2 Broooce, "The River".

[Gazoo]

Morbidity + hot Bruce = BOS to "The River." 

[mshray]

ooo! BOS2 Broooce, "The River".

man that was all she wrote.

I'm outta here.  Have a great weekend y'all!

Bwhahaha! I'd rather be double-dipped...

Texans should not go down to the River the next few days
