sheesh. Starting with the predictable Crowded House, "Sister Katrina"

But BOS to Bobby B, "My Perogative", before he discovered Prep H and "doodie bubbles".

We caught a rattlesnake, now we got something for dinner.

Yikes, WOS Cheap Trick, "the Flame". More evidence that Diane Warren is the Antichrist.

So, I'm not hating '88 as much as I thought I would today.

Oh... maybe I spoke too soon...

There was a promo for today's set running over the weekend, but so far this is way below the quality of the sets we had the last 10 days or so.

Oh. My. GOD! it's.... DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPP!!!

Just one breakout would satisfy me at this point... another Prince tune, perhaps? "Alphabet St" qualifies.  Or better yet, Rick Astley!

Was that Church tune a bust-out? I don't recall hearing it before, but somehow I think maybe you were hoping for better.

indeed. didn't we hear this REM tune in the last '88 set? I recall someone commenting on similarities to "Finest Work Song"?

BOAVMS = REM

(best of a very mediocre set)

Midnight Katrina. OK, I realize it's Monday, I'll cut Dave some slack in anticipation of a FAB "Atlantic Records Lovefest" tomorrow.

But that doesn't mean I'm enjoying today.

I'd settle for stuff that was big in the day, like Erasure, George Michael, or...

Hey it's Robyn Hitchcock!  That's more like it.

Did you guys know that he had a small but vital role in the remade Manchurian Candidate?

Yep, pretty sure that was me.  At least, I thought the same thing this time.  BOS for Robyn Hitchcock!

OMGWTFLOL! BOS "Balloon Man"!!!

Can you believe the Bangles turned this song down?

OK I guess I'm satisfied with this breakout. I'll be quiet now.

OK, who can ID this Balloonman song? It sort of sounds like Robyn Hitchcock but it CAN'T be.

ETA: Oh. My. Freaking. God. It was Robyn. Now THERE'S a bustout.

It may have been a bust out last time, but we did hear it once before.

Oh yes it can. :wink:

Got quite a bit of alt-radio play in  NY at the time, and the story was that he wrote it for the Bangles but they said, "sorry, we're writing our own stuff now". So he did it himself.

So I found the 1988 set that previously gave us that Church tune, in fact it was the TOTHC.  This set is from Thursday 5/20/2004.  No wonder I was hoping for some Erasure towards the end.

1. Church - North, South, East and West
2. Escape Club - Wild Wild West
3. Thomas Dolby - the Ability to Swing
4. Neil Young - This Note's For You
5. Crowded House - Better Be Home Soon
6. Little Feat - Let it Roll
7. Bob Dylan - Silvio
8. John Hiatt - Slow Turning
9. Erasure - Chains of Love (BEST OF SET!!)
10. George Harrison - Got My Mind Set on You

I'm working in my spare time on compiling the 10@10 database using Darryl's website.  If anyone wants to do something similar you don't need to know how to write complicated nested formulas in Excel (so that you could, f'rinstance, paste this list into 10 vertical cells and have it broken out into columns for Tune #, Artist & Song).  I can give them to you so all you need to do is copy the formula & fill down.
