Really like this Chimera -- never heard of them.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:38pm
David Dichelle:

It does still have the 70s rock-folk sound, no sign of the 80s getting involved yet.

though if we could see their hair....
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:41pm
Handy Haversack:

It is telling, that's true.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:41pm
Bas NL:

The lyrics nudge it back to around 1781?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:42pm
David Dichelle:

Here's their hair: www.discogs.com...
Avatar 🚂 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:44pm
chris in the redwoods:

hmm, 70's hair as well. sigh.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:44pm

Their hair is also folk with some slight prog touches. The system works!
Avatar 🚂 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:44pm
chris in the redwoods:

i'll go with Handy's interpretation, then. :)

Happy steppin', chris!
  8:18pm
Andres:

Hi, David! Digging the further voyage to ‘81. There is a current synth band, Cold Cave. Can’t help but think the name is somehow an homage to the Karen Marks track. I could be wrong.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:19pm
David Dichelle:

Hello Andres! Yes it is a very compelling track and it was unfortunately her only recording.
  8:28pm
Andres:

Counter to the title, hot track!! ;)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:29pm
David Dichelle:

Yes, indeed!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:30pm
Handy Haversack:

Eeek! Something happened to my drink - it's empty! Did 1981 do that?! I knew I shouldn't trust it.

Back in a sec!
  8:32pm
Andres:

Handy, I hope you’re keeping it authentic with a favoured beverage from ‘81. Sprite was my favourite back then.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:33pm
David Dichelle:

The golden days of Tab and Fresca.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:35pm

Or Vita Cola over here.

1981 may have been the first time I went in a Trader Joes?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:37pm
Yvang:

They were on fire in Belgrad!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:39pm
Handy Haversack:

If I had Squirt on hand, I'd employ it. I went with just gin and soda.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:39pm
David Dichelle:

Cheers!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:40pm
Handy Haversack:

Cheers, David!

In other celebration news, we decided that it's the better part of valor to once again NOT go out to our favorite restaurant for NYE, which is a bitter pill to swallow. We were so looking forward to it. But COVID numbers are CRAZY around here. So we're going to have our two friends over. I was looking at recipes trying to think of what to make. I might take a stab at penne with vodka sauce!

Whisky here. Ardbeg 10 year old. Mmmm...

Hi! I hope you all got buckets and buckets of delicious potatoes for Xmas!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:52pm
David Dichelle:

Hey Ike, just one, I'm afraid. How many did you get?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:54pm
Bas NL:

Penne with vodka sauce... sounds absolutely great, Handy.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:01pm
Ike:

@David, none, I'm afraid. Spud-wise, it was a very sad Xmas. But I did receive some chocolate bars and a small trash can, which was exactly the right trash can, so that was very pleasing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:02pm
Handy Haversack:

We hunkered down with four potatoes to survive the Christmaspocalypse. Two remain!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:04pm

Is that in Franco’s repertoire, chresti?

doctorjazz:

I must have missed a memo some
where-why are we celebrating 1981 today?
(sad moment here-an old friend had an extra ticket to see Bela Fleck's bluegrass show at Carnegie Hall a week from Sunday, and I'm afraid to be in a hall at a concert right now..)
  9:14pm
Andres:

From felakuti.com, in 1981: “...Fela is beaten by the police – so severely that years later he says that, of all the many times he was beaten, this was only occasion when he actually feared for his life.”
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:16pm
Handy Haversack:

Yeah, doctorjazz, I hear you. K8's canceling her show for 1/22. We have tix to see the Connells 1/8, a show already rescheduled from September for COVID reasons. Sigh.

I did buy this Sound D'Afrique in 1981, great collection! Just LOVE these guitars!
