17 Jan 2012: it's...1985

[Tinka Cat]

and now we get all bluesy 'n' shit.  Proxy of GazWOS.

This is one of my fave SRV songs.   He breaks out of the 12 bar blues snooze routine on this one, at least, and constructs an actual song.  I would think over acts could cover this one. 

Speaking of 12 bar blues, New Order sticks close to the map here.

Which song was it?

Change It.

Despite the obligatory DC=INXS=REM, at least the two songs chosen weren't complete Katrinas.  In fact, they're sorta NTM, I must say.  (I don't have much REM in my collection and I have no INXS at all.)

[RGMike]

and the other '80s staple-band: REM. At least it's a rarity.  BOS2FRA.

Indeed. I don't recognize this song. Not only that, Peter Buck has got a distinctly different guitar sound than what we usually hear from him.

Yes, it gets my BOS!!

[Tinka Cat]

Dead Man's Party?   isn't it enuf that this is a Halloween Katrina?

LN3 (or 4, I've lost count).

Yes, it gets my BOS!!

But what song was it? I'm guessing it was from Fables. I don't have that cassette anymore.

[RGMike]

BOS3 Brooooooooooooooce, easily the best track on the USA for Africa LP.

Pat Healy informs us on FB that it wasn't R.E.M., but Golden Palominos (with Michael Stipe on vocals).

[RGMike]

well, it was a long set, if not a terribly good one.

Oh, I don't know about that. Tina and Prince give him a run for his money.

[Lightnin' Rod]

BOS, TFF. 

Since this is pretty much the only place I hear TFF, I don't mind that it's a 'trina (as opposed to Oingo Boingo, which I have on my "iMedia"). 

[Lightnin' Rod]

I could never get into "Moonlighting".

Far and away my favorite show of the period.  Great cast, great writing (at least early in the series -- like most great series, it kind of lost it's way in the late period).

I think I was too young.

Ahhhhh, that would explain why it doesn't sound like Peter Buck. Wikipedia says some of the lead guitar was done by Richard Thompson, and it certainly did sound like him.
