Ginger just tipped it as she signed off her last day of subbing for Bret, which makes this Marcus' last day for a while.  He actually had a challenging trivia question yesterday.

TOTHC is "Down on the Corner," not one of my favorite CCR tracks.  I'm hoping for/predicting "Nothing But a Heartache."  Which would be accurate for me, as the guy I'd just gone out on a few dates with recently broke things off over email last night.

PS: VVHM to "Guinevere," hypnotic guitar work.  Influenced by Kaukonen, I should imagine.

I was getting worried, what with them doing both '96 and '95 in the same week, but we've also had '74 and '69 this week, so go 'BCO!

TOTHC CCR, but what's this? oo! "Guenevere". Lovely.

I like the Gwen Stefani version. "Going down on Rossdale..."

VHM Sly, a most appropriate song on this umpteenth warm day in a row, something that never happens in SF proper.

This song is chock full o' lyrics that sound like they should be mondegreens, but are in fact the actual words:

Oh my yes -- I almost quoted that line above rather than "coke'n'sympathy".  (almost JINX!)  Amazing that got on the radio back then.

"Laydar" is the ability to sense out a person who just wants to fuck something, anything that moves.  A handy skill to have at crowded parties and bars.

PS: A related story: One I was at a Target store in Malden, MA with my friends Josh and Alli.  In addition the the checkout clerk, there was a bagger, and apparently I said to the bagger, "thank you, sir," without really thinking about it.  They both broke into nearly teary laughter upon exiting the store.  "What?" I asked, oblivious.  "You just called that bagger 'sir.'  That was a woman, Joe."  "Really?!"  Josh paused.  "I knew you didn't have gaydar, Joe, but I didn't know you also lack gen-dar."

I'm using this scene in my book.

Someone's been lurking here--second song in a row cribbed from Monday's DM set. He can out-do Dave by playing more than just YNGMYM--but I'm not betting the house on it.

Your house is safe!  including the "Bathroom Window".  So he almost played the medley -- cute segue actually.

Marcus mentioned the failed bank robbery where the teller can't read his handwriting, but my favorite scene is when he carves the gun out of soap, but when it starts to rain it gets all foamy & he panics.

It's the kind of thing that Rosalie would include in Acoustic Sunrise, but I can't say I've ever heard it--then again, I don't listen to AS that regularly.

Never; and this may be a quibble, but playing a song/LP that NEVER got airplay at the time simply because the artist is now well-known is kinda cheating, IMHO.  (Mr. Drake went completely unnoticed by even the most progressive of progressive FMs back then, afaik.) KBCO seems to do this most often -- we heard a Sarah McLaughlin song in an '89 set the other day, for example.

I'd agree in general, but unless you've access to the local playlists of that time it's kind of hard to say that Nick was never heard in greater Denver.  Bob is always mentioning Chicago playlists & has more than once claimed significant local success for bands that otherwise remain obscure to this day.

Volkswagen I think, Pink Moon was the song. They were responsible for a good bit of the Polyphonic Spree's coming to the public's awareness, too. No one said ad execs can't have good taste.

Well, I s'pose it's possible. I'm basing my assumption on having been heavily into not only radio but the Village Voice/Rolling Stone rock-crit axis back then, and I'd never heard of him until the Volkswagen commercial revived his (dead) career.
