24 March 2011: It's... 1978

[sundaygal]

One of my favorite years in music.  Punk, disco, Wuthering Heights, Feels So Good...what's not to like??  Wait...don't quote me on that...

I can hardly wait. Just made my FB requests. Nothing earth shattering but I'd sure like to hear a few.

Loved all your requests, Ali.  I hope AL gets her boogie shoes on tomorrow!

yes, good ones from the 10at10ers here (Sunday, urth, A-Cat).

btw, AL is promising/threatening this one:  "I was thinking of Mick w/Peter Tosh this time maybe....walk and don't look back..."

you'll hear 3 out of 4 (no Kate Bush) on Casey Kasem's March '78 chart this weekend.

She noted that it was in lieu of playing something from "Some Girls", since she hit that LP on our last '78 outing -- which is encouraging IMHO; it means she really does keep track and tries not to repeat too often.

instant BOS Cheap Trick -- "On the Radio" is, er, on the radio!

I saw the facebook post last night but couldn't come up with anything from '78 that I wanted to hear bad enough to request.  I considered "Far Away Eyes", but that IS what she played last time, even though I was in a meeting that day and did not hear it.

if the radio's on you gotta pump it up!  VHM EC, who wants to torture her and talk to her -- not necessarily in that order..

Talk first, torture later? Sometimes it's better not to talk.

agree!  and to follow up, Peter Gabriel's On The Air is just that, too

more radio tunes: PG's "On the Air" is a bustout, I think. BOS2FRA.

is "Wavelength" next?

[RGMike]

this ELO rarity gets a VHM for sheer WTF-iness. Tho' I guess a rain song makes sense today.

[RGMike]

uber-BOS3 the Motors, "Airport". Haven't gotten a request in a while. I'm everso thilled!

and kudos AL for cutting off ELO before the overexposed "Mr Blue Sky"

and speaking of overexposed: heeeere's "Baker Street"

Never heard this before.  Would have guessed it was ELO with a guest singer. Did Jeff Lynne have anything to do with this?
