22 January 2009: a "classic" from 1985

[mshray]

Just heard the promo by Webster.

Look out for Tears For Fears.  Between them "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" & "The Working Hour" have been TotHK's 7 times in around 50 sets.

REM?  a rarity, certainly.

[Davefish]

Verrry obscure REM, by my reckoning.

she's a sleazy lover!  BOS the Phunky Phils.

She's a Cheesey (Music) Lover.

a nod to Mike's .sig (which I haven't googled yet, and therefore do not to understand).

Actually that was Golden Palominos with Stipe out front.  BOS #1.

Looks like we're going w-a-a-a-a-a-y-y-y back again with this set. The REM song doesn't appear in the DB at all in '85, and Easy Lover shows up only twice, both times in the #5 slot, so looks like this set is an oldie.

So what else do we want to kvetch about here to see if it affects the selection of classics? "Boy, they NEVER play Strictly Instrumental classics--I really wish they'd play a few of those!"

[mshray]

Well *that* was intersting. Are these sets actually burned to a disc?  Because my notes for this set (2/6/07) show that "Easy Lover" was off of vinyl, so it wasn't the Philip Bailey CD that skipped.

a Simpsons ep where Bart became a jazz drummer (much to Lisa's consternation) -- then a tiger bites his arm (don't ask) and he's told he'll never drum again, which prompts him to say the quote.

and heeeeeere's yer TFF.

Hee.  Actually, we got an Instrumental "classic" on Thanksgiving Friday, so I wouldn't expect another for at least 6 months

Sorry 'bout that, but the Db tripped you up.  The entires you refer to are for Philip Bailey & Phil Collins, but the one I found was for just Philip Bailey.   I've fixed it in my copy now.

Well, we can scratch that. The Golden Palominos thing threw me (as it always does), and Easy Lover for today's set listed Philip Bailey alone as the artist; its other appearances in the DB have Philip Bailey and Phil Collins in that category. (Heads-up on the latter to Mshray.)

ETA: Never mind--I see Mark is already on it.

[mshray]

told y'all to look out for TFF didn't I?
