Post by: RGMike on April 09, 2015, 10:04:42 AM: jeebus -- early start? I was on the phone for 2 minutes and tuned in in the middle of Devo, eliminating the ninnies and the twits.

BOS1 : JJ; BOS2 Devo. Nice start, for sure.

AL's on a tear here.

It seems like when she creates a set without having to take requests into consideration, we get a more satisfying set.

One more BOS for Lindsey B, Trouble. A shoulda-been hit if ever there was...

ETA: Did the A's change their post-game victory song this year?

ETA2: Awww, AL played the single edit and not the full-length album version :P

ETA3: Gotta love AL and her backsell

Post by: RGMike on April 09, 2015, 10:43:13 AM: Nicely done. Only 2 LNs in a 1981 set is a coup, sez me.

No kidding. Something Renee never got. She always did her backsells like she had a cab waiting with the meter running.

Was that really Lon Simmons? It sounded to me like Al Michaels.

per the 'snipes thread, they played a brand-new song Monday nite, by a local band -- a song about Oakland, apparently. And the fan reaction was not great. I always wondered why Kool & the Gang (from Jersey) and not something by Tower of Power. I'll have to track down the new one.
