BOS #3 "Train in the Distance", from Heart & Bones.  The album that made Graceland possible.  Why doesn't KFOG play anything off of this, 10@10 or otherwise?

This Paul Simon song could have been an outtake from 1975.  I don't think I've ever heard it, but I recognized it as him well before his vocals started, which is odd.  Odder, I hear the cadence of the verses of "Sunday Will Never Be the Same" in the verses here.

I have, but only because of this wonderfully eclectic statiuon, KEZX, that existed in Seattle for about 2 1/2 years.

Because, sadly, it didn't sell very well.  Radio (Top 40, AOR and "alternative" alike) was busy aping MTV in 1983, and this LP was the antithesis of that.  So it's one of those forgotten albums.

spot on again, my friend!  Have you considered a career in music criticism? :wink:

BOS3 "Blister in the Sun"!

ETA: a song I didn't really discover until years later.

This album had at least 3 very strong tracks, this one, the title track, and "Rene & Georgette Magritte with Their Dog after the War", a song Paul wrote about a photograph he saw with that heading.  Wonderful stuff.

Of course the album seriously underperformed, so Paul felt totally authorized to go in an entirely uncharted direction & thus Graceland.

that was another BOS, Jacqueline Bisset.

Every young boys dream came true for Andrew McCarthy in that movie!

Rob Lowe played her son, McCarthy's roommate.

Too bad she's not playing the original auf Deutsch version.  I like hearing him say, "Grusz mich meiner frau."

So, Dave had a pretty good '83 set last week, featuring several songs we hadn't heard in 2+ years, but Ginger causally blows him out of the water by SuperHit 6.

BOS #6 to Marvin, "Sexual Healing".  In 1983 I really wasn't into him at all, but now I recognize this for the genius that it is.

I'm givin' Ginger 1 VHM (for the Top), and BOS for everything since.

I don't recognize the song following Marvin (BOS2), but it sounds like it really wants to segue into When in Rome's "The Promise."

Holy Mother of God!, New Order, "Your Silent Face".  Doubt I have heard this even once in the last 20 years.

BOS #7.

BOS5 "Twistin' By the Pool". Yes, it's silly. It's supposed to be.

Ditto thanks on the New Order song ID.

WOS to "Twistin' by the Pool," a Lightnin' Rod favorite that I just can't get behind.  I think it's my anti-rockabilly bias.

See this only gets a VHM from me. Gaz might even agree - Mark Knopfler doesn't do Dave Edmunds as well as Dave Edmunds does.

That may not have been the best 10983 set Ev-Ah!, but it was damn close.  The set Dave played for me on my 40th b-day probably still beats it for sentimental reasons...and because he played Tin Tin's "Kiss Me".
