16 April 2012: it's... A Year o' Mystery (1981)
« on: April 15, 2012, 09:15:52 PM »
no clues as of 9pm Sunday.  Not clear to me what that charity thing on Tuesday means in terms of 10@10, so maybe we'll get a Tax set tomorrow? Then again, maybe not.

ETA: per a promo I heard, it's a Mystery Year. Guess AL went to the Webster/Dennis/Rosalie mutual birthday party.

Dudley Moore gets caught between the moon and Noo Yawk City. But no Chris Cross.

BOS2 Human League's "Love Action"  - a serious rarity if not a bustout.

BOS to one of my fave Human League songs.  I always get a kick out of the line "but this is Phil talking..."

No peak sensation here: WOS Cars, "Since You're Gone".

Surely, you can't be serious.  Just bought the most recent (2011) Cars album -- the one with the orig line-up, sans Benn Orr, of course.  Not bad... it was a dollar in the cut out bin at Amoeba.  The Nice Price!

This King Crimson lineup were the bees knees for me back then.

hee.  and worth noting that most of us didn't hear "Love Action" until the following year, after "Don't You Want me" broke.

wow: King Crimson, "Frame By Frame" gets a BOSFRA.

The Who's status as a supergroup didn't translate into the massive album sales similar groups enjoyed:

some good super-specific lyrics in this one, but what does this mean?  "I lay on the bed with you.. we could make some book on records..." 

I also like "I showed up late with a neon light as a visa."

I was just looking up this Depeche Mode song last night. It's my favorite of theirs -- kind of sounds like Erasure.

indeed, it was while Vince Clarke was still with them -- he left after this to form Yaz(oo)
