23 July 2009: 1981
« on: July 23, 2009, 09:57:43 AM »
'81, '83, '86, and '88 would seem to be the yet-untouched choices.

And '81 it is! 

AAAAAACK! Diesel!  NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! WOS.

note misspelling of "sausolito":

While you see a chance, steal the bass riff from Billy Joel's "My Life".

No small amount of irony in that clip, particularly the last bit saying that, at $5 an hour download charges and two hours (!) to download an entire edition of the Examiner, the new computer edition wouldn't be much competition for the newsprint version. My, how times change.
Let's get right to it.

MAW in '81?  VHM anyway, one of their better (and less egregiously overplayed) tunes -- proxy of shray.

It was Fast Food Nation (horrible!). Not it's Kusturica's Underground (long!). The last film I saw.

yeah, FFN was a disappointment, considering the source -- I recommend Food, Inc, however. And Bruno, speaking of eating things one shouldn't ;)

we're firmly in Moreytown with Diesel, Winwood and Blondie. Hope this picks up in the 2nd half.

Pre-1982 Dave sets had too many before-my-time-sounding songs to appreciate.  However Annalisa's 1980 set last week was outstanding so I was hoping today's would pique my interest too.  So far, not so. :(

Men at Work does get a HM though...as does the computer clip.  8)

That Steve Winwood song falls into the category of "songs with a super-cool intro that end up boring the hell out of me after the first few seconds." (Along with Pearl Jam "Better Man," Mariah Scary "Fantasy," and a few others.)
