Title: 17 Oct 2014: it's... 1989
Post by: RGMike on October 16, 2014, 11:48:51 AM

Friday is the 25th anniversary of Loma Prieta, so there's that. Either a quake set (cue "Living on the Faultline"!) or 1989, which is certainly due -- last visit 9/4.

Or, if the Giants win tonite, we could get some sort of tie-in with that (tho' better to wait for the World Series next week).

ETA: and it's '89 -- thread just went up.

A lot of folks on FB were requesting earthquake-theme songs; it's not clear at this point whether we're getting 10 songs from '89 or some sort of hybrid set.

I have work stuff that has to be done today so I'll be missing this one. Hope it's not too LN-y.

Not unless she goes to 11 or plays it during the backsell.

Wow, that's a disappointment. Granted I didn't hear the clips/segues but there were some good (and event-appropriate) suggestions in the thread... and we heard none. Just the usual-usual. "Love Shack" -- jeebus. And juxtaposing "Everything Is Broken" with a quake clip was clever the first ten times Dave did it but... oy.

And indeed, Here's To Ya -- the only thing missing here was The Call. Or FYC.

oddly, this got some rave reviews in 'snipeland. Go figure.
