Friday May 27--it's 1968!!!
« on: May 27, 2005, 08:59:45 AM »
And I'm here before 9, for once! Have a meeting in two minutes, hope to be back in time for the Time Warp.

Dave sez we should play spot the vinyl, and even spot the 45 if we;re really on top of it.

Yay, its Baby Now THat I've Found You...

assuming this is a "typical" Friday, this will be our first week without a late '80s/early '90s set in a while, Praise the Lawd!

I believe you're right. The suits must be taking the week off for the holiday.

This might be my last 10am check in for a while. Last day current job. Tuesday is a new job. Don't have any idea about ability to stream or logistics with cow-orkers. May go back to headphones. I'll do the 10pm log in.

assuming one considers 1986 "mid" rather than "late" '80s... then the last time we went without  a too-recent set was mid-March (St Pat's Week).

Hey, enjoy the last day at the old grind. One assumes you won't be working too hard--anyone taking you to lunch? Drinks after work? A combination of the two?

Congratulations once again on getting out of a bad situation!  We knew you could do it.   :wink:   Sorry you couldn't give yourself a few days' down time before starting the new job, but at least you've got a holiday weekend to rest up.

I'll actually be out of sight next week: Monday I have a visitor in town (a guy named Victor whose virtues I've extolled many a time on this board), then I'm spending three days with my family in Pittsburgh and four days at my 10-year college reunion in bustling Meadville, PA.  I'm a little trepidacious about the latter, fearing I'll be the only single person in attendance.  At least I can claim a somewhat-productive marriage to my work.

Did lunch Wednesday, exit interview yesterday and then party at local bar after work yesterday. Trying to plan time for a pedicure later this afternoon.

1968: I'm ready to declare a 10-way tie before the first note.

"Baby, Now That I've Found You" is actually somewhat of a Katrina on WCBS, the NYC oldies station.  As are "Cecilia" and "People Got to Be Free," for reasons that elude me (yeah, they're great songs, but why *those* songs instead of others by those artists?).

Honey Child is most certainly one of the vinyl cuts--couldn;'t miss that "warmth of vinyl" needle-noise lead-in!

As Urth noted yesterday, Dave's been impressively digging in the crates lately, a trend that continues today with "Honey Chile," a breakout for me if no one else.
