OK.  This set totally makes up for yesterday's lackluster set (IMHO)
Nanu-Nanu

I'm with ya -- late '80s/early '90s sets have traditionally not been faves here.

OMFG!!! uber-uber-BOS7 Zappa, "Joe's Garage"!!
From Wiki: Joe's Garage is a 1979 rock opera by Frank Zappa, which tells the story of what could possibly happen if music was made illegal. The album features Ike Willis as the voice of "Joe", a stereotypical garage band youth who unwittingly journeys through the miasma of the music business. Zappa provides the voice of the "Central Scrutinizer" character—a mechanical voice that narrates the story and haunts Joe's psyche with McCarthyistic 50s-era discouragement and "scrutiny." In his liner notes Zappa also states that the story was inspired by the 1979 Iranian Revolution, which outlawed public musical expression.
The album was originally issued in two parts, the first part being a single LP of Act I, and the second part being a double-LP set of Acts II & III. All three acts were later issued together as a box set, and on compact disc as a double-CD. The major themes of the story include groupie migration, mockery of Scientology, appliance fetishism, garage bands, and above all censorship of music as an artform.
Joe's Garage is particularly noteworthy for its extensive use of Zappa's xenochrony technique, in which guitar solos from older, completely unrelated recordings were extracted and overdubbed onto new songs. With the exception of "Watermelon in Easter Hay" and "Crew Slut", all Zappa's solos on the album were constructed in this way.

I have been archiving Quicktime movies as I listen to them. about 4 gigs so far
Today, however, my browser crash during Rudie cant fail. So I have it saved starting there...

uber-BOS4 Gilda!

OMG! Blondie for sundaygal! BOS5 "Dreaming", a single that deserved better, chartwise.

Lots to love in this set, but I'll give my overall BOS to my fave Blondie song.  The segue from Gilda to Dreamin' got me choked up.

Kudos to Clem Burke and the crazy Keith Moonesque drumming in this song!

More police... Dream Police
wait, is this from '79?  didn't Budokan come out that spring? they had a studio AND a live LP the same year?
You are CORRECT!

Yep, but Budokan was released just in Japan initially. For several months it was only available in the US as an import, it wasn't intended to be released domestically. Then radio got all over IWYTWM and Ain't That A Shame, and Epic decided they had to go with the momentum and get it out here. So it came out here in the spring, iirc, with Dream Police hot on its heels in mid-summer.

Saw CT that summer at the racetrack at Cal Expo with BOC and Pat Travers. The show had originally been booked with Travers supporting BOC and CT below him, but with the sudden buzz from the above records, they flopped the bill and Travers played first (after some no-name opener), then CT and BOC still topped the bill. Yeah, I know, TMI.
Let's get right to it.

or in the case of BOC, "E.T.I".  Balthazar!!!

D'oh!  I meant the '67 set.  AL played Gigantic yesterday, which rocked 'da house.
