I'll BOS "Boogie Wonderland," one of disco's last great gasps.  Would enjoy the Bee Gees' "Love You Inside Out" as a follow-up.
When I think of 1979 music memories, top of mind is Joe Jackson, <snip>

Here ya go--and it's a deep cut, not to mention a bustout. BOS3 JJ.
Let's get right to it.

"One night in a disco in the outskirts of 'Frisco..."

don't know it, but I like it!~

"One night in a disco in the outskirts of 'Frisco..."

ok, I still like it, even when they got all cheesey with mentioning all the designer labels.  A preoccupation w designer label status could be seen as a precursor of the greedy eighties, even though narcissism can't be blamed on any one political party, and I suspect Ronald Reagan prob never wore Fioruuci  (although RONNIE Reagan might've!).

Ha, I was thinking it was a precursor to NOW!

Didja notice that for Dave, it's a "Boo-jie" wonderland?

BOS3 JJ -- we started with Monday and end with Friday -- cute, Dave.

Dave must have thought it was--it's rare that he tips one of his little jokes like that.

Thank God its "Friday"

It's one of Big Rick's favorites from his Friday Salute.  Cue the Toyes!

I discovered (much to my dismay) last week that Sublime did  a cover of "I Smoke 2 Joints". "Would you rather hear Sublime or would you rather hear the Toyes?  I *knew* you were gonna say that!"

Oh well, we didn't get any Boo-Gees!  Just "Boo-gee Wonderland"

Or on Booji Boi, either!

Looks like we've never heard Devo in a '79 set--that's a shame. Satisfaction or Jocko Homo would be pretty appropriate, imo.

Big Rick's been mixing that one in for several years.  It's definitely less interesting than the original, but I can't really fault him for playing it from time to time.  I think I've also heard a live Toyes version a couple times.

Sigh. I'd have taken *any* of the other choices over the Blues Bros. track. Leave it to the fogheads...

Exactly. I'm sure all the musicians involved with the Blues Bros. got a much deserved payday for that project, but they were hired to lend some cred to the project as much as for their licks. Jake & Elwood didn't exactly earn their stripes playing in funky dive bars (and no, their Blues Bar in NYC does not count).
