20 April 2012: it's... 1985

[Tinka Cat]

cut the "I don't get Tom Waits" FB comments.

cue?

 

oops, right -- cue

I don't get spelling.

[urth]

the Pee-Wee clips need to be retired for a while.

But OMFG: uber-BOS2 Kirsty MacColl covering Billy Bragg!  I'm on FY-uh with getting requests played lately.

Big BOS for Kirsty MacColl song I've never heard before (speaking of dead singers...).

I'll dig up the Billy Bragg version. he wrote an extra verse for her because she wanted to record the song but it was kinda short.

Can I assume we're talking about her cover of A New England here?

I'm still trying to figure out how I suddenly became "Mr Request" this week -- 6 songs in 8 days. (in pairs, no less) I'm responsible 4 of the bustouts in that period, I think. AL's most excellent week in some time, a lackluster 1992 notwithstanding.

he was pointing out that I didn't ID the song title. Usually your forte.

I wasn't sure if it was that, or my general cluelessness!

BTW, anyone notice that Jose F doesn't post in G-snipes? Even on sat morning (he listens to AT40 but has his own thread) I think he thinks we're too mean, or something...

so, less than 24 hours after I said this -- JF is in G-snipes doing the Casey Kasem thang. Coincidence?
