22 March 2011: it's... 1983
« on: March 22, 2011, 07:59:25 AM »
haven't heard a promo; nothing on FB.

Webster hints at an '80s year.

'83 it is... "Who Do You Want To Be Today?"  VHM Boingo.

Instant BOS for Oingo Boingo, so of the best of the 80s for me.

Seconded!  I'd forgotten about the nifty 'bone solo on this.

I've never understood the hate for "Bang on the Drum", but OTOH, it's waaaaay overplayed.

as is "They Don't Know", which belongs in '84 -- not the first time AL has played it in '83.

for some reason I remember that  Oingo Boingo from '85. Painting houses during the college summers.

BOS "They Don't Know" - though I thought it was from '84.

BOS "They Don't Know" - though I thought it was from '84.

as noted above, it is, as far as Americans are concerned. But AL has now played it at least twice in '83. Some Foghead requested it in an '83 set a while back and she went along.

BOS the Polecats!

but jeez, from Polecats to StrayCats is a segue AL has def done previously.

Pretty good Stray Cats song choice though...not one of the played-out ones.

BOS2 Joan Armatrading, even if she seems to be endorsing abuse.
