Nice start with the Haircut 100 guy, "Whistle Down the Wind". Isn't this a Pino Palladino appearance?

I had the same thought.

And a deep U2 track (from War?)--took me a few bars to confirm that this was what they used to sound like.

So far so good!

This Stevie Ray cut is another bust-out, I think, even if it does seem to be a retread of his Pride and Joy.

It's hard for me to say since I listened to this album to death back then, so it sounds Katrina-ish to my ears.

I'm sure Dave's played this, although i may have it confused with P&J.

"Katrina and the Pirate Twins" makes an appearance.

Keep feeling Katrination...

Have we heard this in three out of the last four '83 sets, or am I completely bonkers?

Maybe, but pretty much nothing takes me back to 1983 like this song does, primarily memories of getting out on the dancefloor bopping around with some pretty girl.  Never a Katrina for me.

"Whistle Down the Wind" is indeed Nick (Haircut 100) Hayward, with Pino on bass.  It was a couple years ago when Geoff pulled that out of thin air, claiming it sounded like Pino but he'd never heard the song, that we all most of us learned who Pino was.

And now here's the slow song that usually came just after "Fascination" on my dance mix tapes.

I'd give it a BOS on that basis alone... but wait, Spandau Ballet, "True", one of the great ballads of that period and surprisingly it's not a Katrina, at least IMHO. Dave probably plays PM Dawn's appropriation of it more often than the original.

Spandau gets the BOS nod unless something truly earth-shattering comes along. (Like THAT'S gonna happen!)

VHM Jabba the Hutt! I used to work with a guy who SWORE Jabba was modeled after George Steinbrenner...

If Dave has played PM Dawn more than once, I sure missed it.  But that's not to say that "True" is a katrina in any way.

BOS #3 - "A Million Miles Away", from the best movie soundtrack of the decade.  A song so nice the played it twice in the film.

I don't know, kinda liked it.  TP, Spandau Ballet, SRV, Plimsouls, all good.  The Katrinas were all decent enough songs, too.  Though I could do without "Synchronicity."  I don't hate the Police, but many of their songs annoy me, and this is one.

They did for a split-second when the Hives and the Vines had their battle of the bands.  Maybe FF'll rock the skinnies this fall as they support their new album.

Someone wanna tell me why we got that whole violin-playin'-Miss-America thing?  One of Dave's more idiosyncratic (i.e., dubiously newsworthy) clips.

BOS to "True."  List'nin' to MAHHHr-VAAHHHN!
