This set is in dire need of a "haaaaaay" moment.

seriously.

this is Alex Chilton?  that's about the only thing saving us from its Twelve Bar Blues blah-ness.

And it's another example of Chilton's chameleon singing.  He knew how to pick a style when needed:  
- the gruff blues man for Box Tops,
- the top-of-his-register pop urgency for Big Star
- the talking-singing easiness here in this bayou blooze.

rare Chilton, tho' not my fave of his ouvre.

As far as solo stuff goes, I loved "Bangkok".  This one could've used better production.

some Foghead heads just exploded -- "what IS this??" AL posted it on FB the other day, and she's def played it on 10@10 before.

I never, ever, ever have to hear this A-ha song again.  Or see the video.  The quintessential over-exposed 80s hit.

I know we've been doing '85 every 3 weeks, but all these clips today seem like we just heard 'em.

yeesh, we just heard A-ha recently too.  -- what SG just said!

Cranky? Heck yeah.

Roanna: she plays crazy-hot very well.

BOS2 A-ha

BOS1 to Bryan Ferry, of course.

Tom Waits: sounds like Jerry Garcia's guitar tone, no?
