13 Dec 2012: it's... 1984
« on: December 13, 2012, 09:49:07 AM »
I'm assuming early '80s.  It took 5 tries to get the KFOG player to work just now.

ah, '84 and it's Xmas. But do THEY know? It's a world of dread and fear. or Dred and DC.  VHM for playing a holiday tune in a regular set -- something Bob and Rob have been doing for years.

BOS1 Pretenders, "My City Was Gone".

BOS2 Mr Dolby "I Scare Myself"
Yesssss, excellent version. He was some of the best of the 80s for me.

I love hearing any version of this song. And I'd bet Dan Hicks' bank account appreciated it in '84, too.
Let's get right to it.

Five songs in and we've got two borderline rarities already (Dubly and Cockburn). Not too bad a start.

What's the over/under on Thompson Twins some time in the next 5 songs? (Nahhh, I wouldn't take that bet either.)

INXS in general is kind of LN, but I don't hear this one that much anymore, and I like it, so VHM2.
