Red Rockers alert!

ETA:  I mean, if Dave starts with The Call, Red Rockers can't be far behind.

Margerine doesn't melt all that well, really. But, if we must have an 80s set- it may as well be one of my fave 80s years.

Nice try at trying to go with Renee to the Star Wars screening, Mshray!

REAL margarine melts. It's that low-fat stuff that turns all gummy-gooey.

That wasn't me.  That was an impossible task to start with, & even if I'd won somehow I could only call you & let you go for me.

So I didn't call.

I wonder if Dave was concsiously trying to make up for the fact that "I Still Believe" had just been overlooked on the A-Z playlist in the 9:00 hour?

Oh. Well, it sounded like you. Or the Ides of March.

Heh.

Yeah- Star Wars just ain't as much fun anymore. And it's not because I'm old. Becuase I still like plenty of crap that I liked as a kid.

Hmm. Maybe if Queen Amadala put on a pink wig and did a table-dance....

I could have sworn I saw a video for "New Frontier" (an animated Brubeck-jazz-type motif) in 1981.  Revisionist memory, I s'pose.

I just came across something interesting: http://www.steelydandictionary.com/

Sample entry:
Ambush - "She's wearing Ambush and a French twist / She's got us wild and she can tell." - New Frontier
 
A brand of women's perfume. Launched by the French perfume company Dana in 1955, Ambush is a sharp, oriental, woody fragrance with a blend of lavender, jasmine, oakmoss, sandalwood and patchouli. Still available, though the formulation has apparently changed in recent years.

Yuck, I've heard this song on 10@10 before but it never grated on me like it does today.  This isn't Thomas Dolby, is it?

Yes it is.

And yes, you saw a video for "New Frontier" back in the day. And it did feature animation.

Fuck it all.  My computer's crashed twice in the past 15 minutes: it seems that the Mozilla Firefox web browser isn't fully compatible with the Windows 98 OS, and so a handful of the websites I frequent crash me as soon as a mouse-over drop-down menu is encountered.  Let me just say here for the record that I FUCKING RESENT THE CONCEPT OF PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE.  Don't fucking force me to buy a new computer every two years just because you programming fuckers can't be bothered with backwards compatibility.  This is a big part of why there's very little movement possible under American capitalism: those who start at the bottom are forever forced to buy new tools from those with the economic luxury of first-mover adaptation.

Fuck, do I hate this game sometimes.
