12 April 2010: 1982

[princessofcairo]

wow, BOS5 King Crimson's "Heartbeat" -- another proxy of shray and urth as well.

Def BOS for me!

[Tinka Cat]

fun set so far. 

BOS to ABC & Yaz and this one, who sings it?

if you mean "Images of Heaven" it's Peter Godwin.

yes, thanks, that the one.  With a name like that, he'd make a great preacher.  Reverend GodWin!

[radical347]

Good sounding set for Monday morning! 

VHM to ABC and Yaz.  BOS to EC and PG.

[RGMike]

"Shakin'" gets my first ho-hum of the set; it's the one we've heard the most, probably.

[Tinka Cat]

another BOS to X.  This set's a keeper.

[RGMike]

if AL segs from "Hungry Wolf" to "Hungry Like the Wolf" I may barf.

[RGMike]

Adam Ant gives totally different head. Totally.

and he's pretty subtle in you end-oh.

That's good to know.

What do you do? I want candy!

[RGMike]

BOS6 Bow Wow Wow -- wow!



part of a McLaren twin-spin, I'm guessing.

[urth]

I suggested both EC and KC over on AL's FB pg. Who'd a thunk she'd use *both* of 'em? And 10@10 FAIL to me for not tuning in until the X tune. Must try for the replay tonight.

TANC: Much discussion here recently of the Adam Ant/Bow Wow Wow connection (and the latter's McLaren connection). So is Buffalo Gals still on deck?

Yup!  BOS7 the World Famous Supreme Team.

the ABC and BWW were requests too -- I'm quite amazed.

[Tinka Cat]

BIG BOS to the wonderfully dated Buffalo Gals!!

4/12/10...MONDAY...escape to...1982 !

 1.  ABC- The Look Of Love
 2.  Yaz- Don't Go
(News: Unemployment high)
 3.  Elvis Costello- Beyond Belief
 4.  Peter Godwin- Images of Heaven
 5.  King Crimson- Heartbeat
(Movie: Fast Times At Ridgemont High)
 6.  The Blasters- I'm Shakin'
 7.  X- The Hungry Wolf
(TV clip-Square Pegs)
 8.  Adam Ant- Goody Two Shoes
 9.  Bow Wow Wow- I Want Candy
(Malcolm McLaren-"So, I'm permanently cool")
10. Malcolm McLaren- Buffalo Gals (B.O.S!!-R.I.P)

Fantabulous, and (yet again) compare AL's '80s sets to the AOR crapfests Bob and Larry are usually saddled with.

[urth]

Really fine effort, and we're only up to tune #4 in the replay. Quite possibly the best '82 set ever.

And a wealth of bustouts, too. ABC was not, but Yaz, EC, X, Adam Ant, and of course Malcolm McLaren all were. And the Yaz & McLaren were artist bustouts, too. Can't ask for better. (Not that that'll stop us!)

[urth]

Listening to Goody Two Shoes, I had forgotten how often that song modulates keys. Wish I had a buck for every key change in that sucka.

Just took a count: I saw five of the bands in today's set in 1982: Costello, Crimson, Blasters, X, and Bow Wow Wow.
