The Peak, 5/5/09: 1979

[Tinka Cat]

The 79 streak continues... 

Ain't That A Shame? 

No, b/c it's by Cheap Trick.


I also head some of Randy Newman's It's Money That I Love  (B side to It's Money That Matters?) 

and I caught Ian Gomm's Hold On -- I've always liked this one, his voice.  Qualifies as a OHW? 

[Tinka Cat]

The Doobies are Dependin' On You, to get to #25 on the pop charts with this cut from Minute By Minute.

(Title cut made it to #14 and What a Fool Believes made it to #1, per wiki, both songs powered by the buttery warble of Michael "Yammo Be There" McDonald)

here's Mike's new wave:

The Shirts    Laugh and Walk Away

I don't know them that well, but The Shirts made an appearance in another 79 set recently, didn't they?

Rob's the only guy who plays the Shirts; a quntessential CBGBs band. Their lead singer, Annie Golden, went on to an acting career (she played a Ted Danson love interest on Cheers at one point).

Bram Tchaikovsky Girl Of My Dreams
Neil Young My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)
Marianne Faithful Ballad of Lucy Jordan
Police Can't Stand Losing You
Randy Newman It's Money That I Love
Ian Gomm Hold On
Cheap Trick Ain't That a Shame
Doobie Brothers Dependin' On You
Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb
The Shirts Laugh and Walk Away

Fine stuff; always sorry to miss that Marianne Faithfull track -- another Shel ("Sylvia's Mother", "Boy Named Sue") Silverstein compo, it was in fact orig recorded by Dr Hook!

Have we discussed Annie here before?  She's a friend of my friend Chuck, an indie film producer, and has starred in two of his films.  I met her shortly after moving here, though I forget the circumstances.

OMG! No, you hadn't mentioned it afaik.  Have you ever heard her fab Faux-Town contribution to the 16 Candles sndtk? "Hang Up the Phone" -- a wonderful song that shoulda been a big hit.
