WOS to what I assume is Marillion, singing about "problems."  This one needs to be sent a marillion miles away.

agreed -- and this one totally escaped my notice in '83 (no NYC airplay that I know of). I didn't become aware of them until "Kayleigh".

Never heard that appendix with various whisperings of "problems!" at the end of the Marillion before.

Just noticed that reference to Station to Station in Politics of Dancing. Appropriate, since lots of the bands that hit in the Rock of the Eighties format were borrowing liberally from the Thin White Duke.

One more BOS: Jim Capaldi's sublime take on his former band's signature tune. Who knew he could sing?

little known fact* about this REM cut.  It started off with the title "Trebuchet," but the guys felt Michael Stipe was being too pretentious w that one.




* little known fact as in "I made this up"  :)

Yeah, but I always got a kick out of how they were able to get a hit song out of a visit to those "live nude girl-put a coin in the slot" joints up on Broadway.

Pretentious? a skinny, bald, closeted (in '83)  gay guy? No, really?

When even his Katrinas make you long for Dave, that's especially sad.
