Wednesday July 27--it's a Year o' Mystery...(shhh, 1975)

[urth]

VHM Average White Band, "Pick Up the Pieces" (and an excellent song to follow the fall of Saigon).

Great flashback song.  Where are my Levi Big Bells?

I used to wear those too--they were about a foot wide at the hem.

[RGMike]

VHM2 DTB.  haven't heard a BOS yet.

[urth]

Dave continues his streak of BBC clips.  fall of Saigon --> "Pick Up the Pieces". har har.

I BOS'ed it via phone & Dave says it was intentional.  I said I always dig on his segues & he said well thanks for noticing.  I then asked him if next time we hit '76 he could play "Shake Some Action" by the Flamin' Groovies, which (true story) has become my 5-yr old son Adrian's favorite song from the tape I made of last year's "SF Rock from the 70's" set.

Way to go, Way-way! (or is he Di Di?) (sp?)

Wasn't there a book they used to advertise in the back pages of Playboy and Rolling Stone called "How to Pick Up Pieces"?

LOL! Somebody's currently got an mp3 from a "How to Pick Up Girls"-type audio tape (not sure when it was made) posted on one of their music blogs. I'm totally addicted to music blogs now.

I used to wear those too--they were about a foot wide at the hem.

In September 1980, when I arrived at college in Tacoma, Washington, kids were still wearing those.  I was wearing 501's that I got at the Gap (back when the Gap still sold Levi's) and all my dorm-mates thought I was SO cool.

I thought they were SO dorks.

HM "Nights oOn Broadway". But, I still prefer the Amelia Ray cover.

BOS BeeGees

[ggould]

Bee Gee's!

[urth]

BOS2 to Nights on Broadway. Another band I need to get a good comp of (as with the Hollies, mentioned yesterday).

My BOS1 was George, btw.

80 was about when I made the switch to straight legs. Went to a Devo show in my bells and realized this was NOT going to play any longer. Ditched the bells the next day.

Wei-wei is the soon-to-be kindergartner (crikey, they grow up fast!).

Di-di is the 3-yr old, and his favorite song (which I also mentioned to Dave) is the Dixie Cups original version of "Iko, Iko", as it appears on the compilation of 1965 songs that I made to accompnay the '65 set we heard on 3-18-05 for my brother's b-day.

My sister thought they were singing "straight to my hot dog" instead of "straight to my heart songs".

I know I say that everytime but it never fails to crack me up. My sister's hilarious without ever telling jokes.

[ggould]

funny, this morning, the intro sounds so obvious, it's like a cartoon.

[yessongs]

My BOS:  Born to Run ... I know it's overplayed, but it's still SUCH a good song.
