The Peak, week of 1/23/12
« on: January 23, 2012, 07:36:14 AM »
Mon 1/23/12: (Jan of) 1988

Squeeze, George, Sting, Dead, New Order... pretty meh.

WOS Yes, even tho'"Shoot High Aim Low" is an ATBB.

the great Love & Rockets revival continues: "No New Tale".

BOS Broooce, "One Step Up"

Things are the same all over: INXS makes an appearance. Shocking!

XHMFRA: Robbie Robertson "Sweet Fire of Love" -- nice to hear something other than "...Crazy River"

Tue 1/24/12: (January of) 1976

Wow: Dylan, "One More Cup of Coffee", Joni kissin' on Main St, Patti Smith's amazing "Redondo Beach" (uber-BOSFRA) and EJ feels like a bullet.

OMGWTF: Burning Spear's "Marcus Garvey" gets BOSFRA2. But "Bohemian Rahpsody" gets uber-LN-of-all-time.

BOSFRA3: Kinks, "No More Looking back"  Gotta catch this one on the replay tonite, this was stellar (Queen notwithstanding) -- the kinda set AL *used* to do.

yup.  http://player.streamtheworld.com/_players/pamal/?callsign=WXPKFM

Just tuned in to the replay: a Frampton live track that wasn't one of the singles is always a treat.

I hadn't heard EJ's "Bullet on the Gun of Robert Ford" in ages -- belated BOS, it's much better than I remembered it; ditto "Redondo Beach" and the Burning Spear tune.  Given that AL's MLK set is in a category of its own, this is the best 10@10 I've heard all month. Stellar, really.

Wed 1/25/12: 1993

Pearl Jam, 10KManiacs, Spin Docs, Duran2, Nirvana.... meh.

cute segue: from Mick's "Don't Tear Me Up" to Keef's "Eileen" (which is an ATBB, methinks, as is "Love U More" by Sunscreem).

LN: REM, "Man on the Moon"

WOS: Black Crowes, even if "Sometimes Salvation" is a relative rarity.

Thur 1/26/12: 1982

BOS Nick Lowe's delightful J-5 pastiche "Let Me Kiss ya"; VHM Lindsey Buckingham.

Whole lotta LNs: Soft Cell, Police, Joan Jett, J Geils, Genesis.

Good DAY, eh?  uber-BOS the Mckenzie Bros with Geddy Lee, takin' off.  Mr Lee's best vocal, easily. Beauty, eh?

Fri 1/27/12: (January of) 1968

VHM "Shes's a Rainbow"; BOS Etta james' always fantabulous "Tell Mama"

LN1 & 2: Cream in the sunshine and Small Faces in the park

OMGWTFLOL: a big BOS2 the Monkees' "What Am I Doin' hangin' 'Round?" -- a welcome ATBB.

Girls Girls Girls: VHM Ree-Ree; BOS3 the 'oo, "Mary Anne With Shaky Hands"; BOS4 Floyd, "See Emily Play"

VHM the Human Beinz.

BOS5 "Hello Goodbye" -- as I've mentioned many times I associate this song with Xmas since it was #1 for the entire month of December in NYC.

and we "go to 11" with John Fred -- BOS6.



Another fine excursion worth catching on the PM replay.
