Title: 26 March 2014: it's... 1999
Post by: RGMike on March 25, 2014, 07:33:16 PM
no clues as of 7:30pm. I suspect another '90s set in is the offing.

DING! DING! DING! -- it's 1999. Er... blorf.

(actually I requested "Believe" by Cher and "...Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears. Fat chance.)

I think we should have a pool to guess where in the set the Foo Fighters appear. I'll guess that they're the TOTHK.

My wishlist:

The New Radicals - Someday We'll Know
Khaleel - No Mercy
Juvenile - Back That Thang Up
Orgy - Blue Monday
Oleander - I Walk Alone
Splender - Yeah, Whatever

I know they have the "other" New Radicals song, because it got played on the last A-Z.  ;D

I have to think it's just a matter of time before your requests are played, but most likely not in the same set. "Learn To Fly" would be an obvious TOTHK.

And it's been played in a 1998 set at least once, plus it's part of KFOG's regular rotation in 2014. That album, of course, has about five or six songs that I wouldn't mind hearing (in particular, "Technicolor Lover").

Rick Dees' 90's flashback focused on 1999 a few weeks back, which included "No Mercy". I hadn't heard it since it appeared on the chart (and Khaleel doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry!)

Splendor could be played and nobody would think it crashed the format. Or, as I'm finding myself saying more and more: "The Sun Will Still Rise In The East".

Actually, I was referring to "Someday We'll Know" as the "other" one...since the non-other one, as you mentioned, is part of KFOG's regular rotation in 2014 (and the last _____ years).

Sadly, I'll be missing today's set.  Hopefully I can catch it on SoundCloud (if AL remembers to upload today's and yesterday's sets).

In the meantime, take copious notes! (even if it pains you today, RGMike  ;) )

The Matrix is everywhere!

TOTHK: Filter, "Take a Picture" -- which has surely appeared before in more than one '99 set.

As much as I like the song, it's reached Katrina status by now.

I counted five original appearances plus at least one rerun of one of those...

LN3: Len, "Steal my Andrea True sample"  WOS1 from me, I've never liked this annoying non-song.

Macy Gray, sounding just as awful as she did in 1999/Y2K.

While I had some tolerance for "Why Didn't You Call Me?", I'm mystified as to why this was such a big hit.

A very poppy set, lots of keyboards and horns, and not much in the way of big guitars. So maybe we can yet dodge the FF bullet.

I'm giving it points for being a non-KFOG regular.   So far, the Tori Amos appears to be our only bustout.

Can't answer that, but I would point out that this paved the way for Amy Winehouse, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, and some of the other latter-day r&b chanteuses.

Is this Philip Seymour Hoffman?

What about the REM tune?

No, but a remarkable facsimile from the hands of Messrs. Buck, Mills, McCaughey et al.

Jeez, I think Jack Johnson knows one riff and he builds all his songs around that.

(Movie: The Matrix)
1. Take A Picture - Filter
(Movie: American Beauty)
2. Praise You - Fatboy Slim
3. Concertina - Tori Amos
(TV: Will & Grace)
4. Steal My Sunshine - Len
(News: Clinton apology)
5. Mambo #5 - Lou Bega Jr
6. Maria - Blondie
(Movie: Austin Powers/Spy Who Shagged Me)
7. Draggin' The Line - REM
8. I Try - Macy Gray
(Movie: Magnolia)
9. Save Me - Aimee Mann
(Leonard Nimoy stokes Y2K fears)
10. Rodeo Clowns - G.Love feat Jack Johnson

Mostly a compendium of songs we've heard before but Tori Amos and REM were bustouts. Not sure about the G.Love/JJ abomination. Do rodeo clowns have bubbly toes?

While we've heard most of these (and some are pretty Katrina-ish) at least this set was noticeably lacking in KFOG staples. (I think the only one that qualifies is Aimee Mann, and maybe Filter.)  Not great by any means but it could have been ten times worse.

I'll let my bet ride until the next '99 set.
