28 Jan 2013: it's... 1979
« on: January 28, 2013, 10:02:44 AM »
"The year Rhodesia became Zimbabwe", sez Greg. Whatever.

Gee, how many times has a 1979 set on a Monday begun with "I Don't Like Mondays"?  great song but totally LN at this point.

previous '79 set (Dec 3rd):

1. The Eagles - Heartache Tonight
2. Rupert Holmes - Escape (Pina Colada Song)
(News: Iranians take hostages)
3. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Refugee
4. George Harrison - Blow Away
5. Joe Jackson - It's Different For Girls
6. John Mellencamp - I Need A Lover
7. Supertramp - Goodbye Stranger
(Movie: "The Jerk")
8. Talking Heads - Heaven
9. Ricki Lee Jones - Chuck E's In Love
10. Cheap Trick - I want You to Want Me

Don't know if I'd go so far as to say LN, but it's incredibly obvious. Gee, Renee how long did you have to think to come up with this one?

Betting we hear some Supertramp today, too.

I recognize the name "Ian Gomm" but don't know anything about him. I thought this might be a Greg Kihn song; it's a little reminiscent of his "Remember".

Mike, you're repeating yourself. You used that line last time we went to 1979 (in early December).

Speaking of which, here's what we heard then, for comparison's sake:

Quote
1. The Eagles - Heartache Tonight
2. Rupert Holmes - Escape (Pina Colada Song)
(News: Iranians take hostages)
3. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Refugee
4. George Harrison - Blow Away
5. Joe Jackson - It's Different For Girls
6. John Mellencamp - I Need A Lover
7. Supertramp - Goodbye Stranger
(Movie: "The Jerk")
8. Talking Heads - Heaven
9. Ricki Lee Jones - Chuck E's In Love
10. Cheap Trick - I want You to Want Me

BOS Clampdown. Nice to hear some real punk/new wave this time. Certainly not much in that last one.
