1975: "Your slightly shady past" for Thursday
« on: June 16, 2005, 09:56:49 AM »
not sure if that's good or bad, but I'll miss it for a stupid 10:00 offsite meeting.

But please send me all your positive energy, I had an interview yesterday & I am really hoping they offer.  Said they'd ring me back today, so please do what you can to influence them in my direction.

Thanks in advance.

I'll miss most of it too... but a Dewey Bunnell reference in the pre-announce means... 1975!

Joni, "In France They Kiss on Main St", instant BOS contender.

Please forgive the mis-placed thread on the Stream of consiousness board. I tried to delete it when I realized I'd punted another one, but once it's been replied to the app won't let you do that--did not know that before.

I'm torn between that and the Joni. No really deep nuggets so far.

Back from meeting in time for Manhattan Transfer. Rare enough for a VHM. Amazing that stuff like this got FM play back then -- those were indeed the glory days of album radio.

OK, it ain't a bustout, but this qualifies in the nugget department. BOS1.

And no sooner posted than we hear my BOS2: I'm Not In Love. Far from a bustout as well, but a personal fave. And spectacularly lush production--this song sounds fab on headphones. Godley & Creme at their finest.

10cc trivia: what 60s british invasion hit was written by Graham Gouldman, later of 10cc? (He may actually have had several, but this is a song I consider one of the best pop songs ever.)

Agreed.  But proxy WOS for Gaz, I suppose -- I wish I could convince him of the wonders of this album (and wish "Life is a Minestrone" would show up just ONCE).

I have to stop working so hard.  I'm listening, but don't recall anything that's been played...

VHM2 Mr Simon.  Still... lovely. (The song, not Paul.)

I must not have payed attention to the back announce in the 70's I recognized all of these songs, but if it weren't for you guys, I'd never know Manhatten Transfer, Godley & Creme did those songs.
If it wasn't the Beatles, I didn't pay attention.

can someone give me a quick recap of what I've been "listening" to so far?  Can't tell much from the previous posts...
