Odd - but going backwards has an entirely different feeling than VT. Is it just me? but this takes me back much more that going forward.
I'm in regressive therapy - recalling high school thru grade school.
There are 10 kinds of people; those who understand binary, and those who don't.

I wouldn't have guessed it, but "Still The Same" is the most frequent Seger tune in the Db.

ah, true to VTs backward or forward, we get "the hits". RLJ and BS. And I DO mean BS.

even more so, JB & all of those tourists covered in oil.

If I am to dine at the "Jimmy Buffet," this is about the only song I can stomach.  No Cheesburgers, pleeze.

Funny, I associate Margaritaville with '78, but I saw him at a festival in the sierra foothills that summer, so I imagine that's why.

Gotta say, AL kinda missed the boat with MJ. He's been cold nearly two weeks, and by now I am so freakin' oversaturated with everything related to Michael Jackson, I just want him to be buried and then drop out of the headlines--and soon. Sorry, but she should have struck when the news was fresh. Now it just seems like bandwagoning.

Sorry if that seems callous. I'm sorry he died, and I enjoyed his music (admittedly more the J5 stuff than his solo career) but as with everything else the media latches onto in our warped society these days, they've stripped any possible warm feeling out of it.
Let's get right to it.

VHM for Sir Paul and his ultra-cheeze.  This song just transports me.

wha-wha-wha??  but he's a bass player!!!

;)

I liked this bit of bubbleggum pop when it came out, but I was into AM Gold at the time.  Still holds a sugar-encrusted sticky sweet syrup-y place lodged in my heart ... and aorta.

Also, it's preferable (if only slightly) to the second single off the album -- "Let 'Em In".

The brainless foghead effect is back in force: the bonus track winner today could have chosen Pilot (Magic) or 10cc (I'm Not In Love). But no. What does he pick? Der Iggles, One of These Nights. Which KFOG probably plays at least once a day.

Bye for today, Annalisa!

BONUS TRACK (from Martin in SF):  Eagles - One of These Nights


Just did a bit of poking around re: this set in the database. Found out that we had only one bustout today--and as usual, it's a song I'd have thought Dave would have played some time in the last 8 years: the McCartney tune. I was all set to guess this was AL's first set sans bustouts. Also, Chuck E's In Love and Margaritaville have appeared only in Vertical Tasting sets--never in a year-based one. And It's Still Rock & Roll has appeared in a year-based set only once--its other four appearances are also in VTs. Kind of an odd statistic, but there it is. And back to Rickie Lee for a sec: she has only two appearances of any kind in the db: once for Chuck E., and once for Easy Money. I'd have sworn Dave had played Danny's All-Star Joint a time or two, but again, there you go.
Let's get right to it.
