16 April 2010: 1977

BOS3 Gilda.

proxy of Alicat, Pablo Snooze.  If AL had played their cover of "I Go to Rio" I'd've given her points for audacity, but "Place in the Sun" ain't doin' it.

I thought Pablo Cruise was made up of Hispanic dudes, but it seems there were all white guys.  they sure sound like it.

Still, this song is ok by me.

WOS to the oversung "Place in the Sun."  Pablo's lead singer had no sense of nuance whatsoever.

You know what word I'm not comfortable with?  Nuance.

BOS the Pistols!

My stream must be a full minute behind y'alls'.

WOS to the Pistols, the most overrated rock band in history.

BOS the Pistols!

didja hear PiL is in town tomorrow?  At the Regency Ballroom.  it's $50 -- yowzer.

fyi: this "No Future" refrain is sampled by PiL in their song God, which appears on their 92 LP That What Is Not, their last record.

BOS the Pistols!

gawd save Annalisa! uber-BOS4  I just put this on my first mix CD. (yeah, I'm a decade behind the rest of America -- what about it?)

I woulda thought that too.  In face, I was thinking they sounded like an extra-poppy Santana.  And Cruise sounds like an Anglicization of Cruz.

WOS to the Pistols, the most overrated rock band in history.

The Pistols are like Presley: more significant culturally than musically.  Think of 'em as the punk Monkees.

Thank you thank you. Totally woorked for me.
Tuned in, too busy to post so far

Scooter Livingston sez: "How often do you hear Pablo Cruise? Gotta run to rehab..."

To which I replied "Rehab? well, that explains a LOT, Scooter!"

[urth]

Some dolt on AL's FB page suggested "Jet Airliner" and "Couldn't Get it Right". Gee, ya NEVER hear those 2! 

same guy -- "Scooter Livingston" is his name -- on FB just said he hasn't heard "Strawberry Letter" in AGES. Has he been in a hermetically sealed room for the past decade?

AL mentioned after one of his comments a couple days ago that they worked together at a radio station in MA years ago--late 80s maybe. And I think he's now in FL, so it's possible he really *hasn't* heard much of 10@10.

I'm sure he hasn't, but I'm not talking about 10@10, I'm talking about radio generally -- Classic Rock and Oldies stations have played all the songs he mentioned to *death* in the last 10-20 years.  Anybody who hasn't heard "SL23" in ages has been otherwise occupied, methinks.

WOS to the Pistols, the most overrated rock band in history.

The Pistols are like Presley: more significant culturally than musically.  Think of 'em as the punk Monkees.

I wouldn't argue with either of you here, but I really dig both "God Save the Queen" and "Anarchy in the UK".  They just work, whatever the band's context, as songs.

 7.  Roky Erickson- Starry Eyes
 

ah! the "starry eyes" song was, er, "Starry Eyes" by Roky Erickson -- another artist AL has played more times in 10 months than Dave did in 27 years!
