The Peak, 6/24/09: 1987

[Tinka Cat]

U2 leads off w I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For  -- (AL lead her 87 set off yesterday w cut from same record.)

in his intro, Rob recounted a few current events of the day, including the verdict returned in the Bernie Goetz trial: Illegal weapons possession.

[Tinka Cat]

Joan Jett & the Blackhearts - Light of Day  Joan is great, but whatevs.

Icehouse - Crazy  -- yeah, this says 87 to me.  BOS

(aside: While we're in this romantic crooner vein, would love to hear ABC's When Smokey Sings -- Mike would prob, too.)

[Tinka Cat]

 David Bowie - Never Let Me Down -- this one seems NTM, but I like it.   

[Tinka Cat]

release the wolves! 

 Los Lobos - La Bamba   - BOS2

I'm still waiting for the appearance of LL's  Diablo Con Vestido Azul (their version of Devil w a Blue Dress) someday. 

[Tinka Cat]

 Brandos - Gettysburg -- also NTM.  swaggering, anthemic.  Vocalist reminds me of the band Live a bit.  Title reminds me of the recent attention around the Getty brothers' blog on sfgate.

[Tinka Cat]

 Replacements (aka The 'Mats) - Alex Chilton   BOSproxy of urth, et al.

[RGMike]

children by the millions love Alex Trebek Chilton.

Sorry I missed "Light of Day".  VHM Chris Isaak before he was anybody.

[Tinka Cat]

Teddy Kennedy rips SCOTUS nominee Robert Bork:  "there is no room at the inn for blacks and no place in the Constitution for women, and in our America there should be no seat on the Supreme Court for Robert Bork."

Chris Isaak cues the brooding haunting minor chord cavalcade of You Owe Me Some Kind of Love. 

[RGMike]

AAAAACK! Rob makes up for the fact that AL avoided major '87 Katrinas yesterday by playing Crowded House, "DDIO"

[Tinka Cat]

Sorry I missed "Light of Day".

did you catch Joan at the Marin County Fair last year?   fantabulous show!

I thought Frozen Ghost was actually the Fixx. Rob said if you play the run out groove of side 2 of their LP backwards, it says "you're ruining your needle."  (and when Mike played it forward, it spoke to him and said "you're wasting your time" - rimshot? anybody?)
