For some reason I have been wanting to hear this song for several days, so at least a VHM for "The Gap" Thompson Twins.

I'm a little late -- had to finish up Little Steven's mini-tribute to Richard Hell before putting the rest of his show on hold.  But VHM both H&O and BS&TESB.

Or as Gaz says, "when he bought into Venice Beach Muscle Culture".  And the new dermatologist helped too.

Was just about to BOS the Gabriel tune, borderline Katrina that it is, when along comes Aztec Camera. So BOS to Roddy Frame et al, whereever he may be.

VHM Hope Lange!

BOS2, "Obvious/Oblivious" (I can never remember the exact title).

I didn't mind the Parsons (of course y'all I know that  by now), but I can't give a VHM to Huey until Dave plays "I Want  A New Drug".  Has he ever? It was a huge hit.

Another VHM to the Gabriel, which seems to be the deepest cut Dave is going for today.

Oh wait, the set is saved by Aztec Camera!

Indeed, Dave's Huey selections are, well, very selective. He really should play "Drug" back-to-back with "Ghostbusters" in an '84 set.

OK when I hear "voices" I take a pill and go to bed. I don't write a friggin' song about it.

I have to mention that LS, in the last set of this weeks show, played the Monkees "Saturday's Child" (written by David Gates! Who knew? well, OK, Gaz probably knew), and The Hollies "King Midas in Reverse". Steven is a national treasure.

If you're referring to the one I think you're referring to, it was closer to 10 years earlier ('72).  If not, you've stumped me.

He also wrote "God Gave Rock & Roll to You," which was older and wasn't a hit, but which I loved KISS's cover of.

I assume mshray's referring to Santana's "Winning". I remember playing Ballard's original version of that song in college circa '77. He also wrote Hot Chocolate's "So You Win Again', iirc.

No I'm refering to a #13 song from '79.  

Ironic that Gaz mentions Kiss though...

Did he write Ace Frehley's "New York Groove"?

The one I thought you were going for was Three Dog Night's "Liar."  But RGMike's right on "Winning" and "So You Win Again."

Yep!


Any idea why he stopps at "3rd and 43" in that song?  There's not much happening on that block.  Unless that's where he met his dealer.

Someday I'll write a piece on the idiosyncracies of NYC in song.  (Cf: my mishearing of "Native New Yorker," which I thought had a destination at Herald Square instead of the UES.)
