Least necessary because it gets plenty of exposure in regular rotation, but I am surprised to see that Dave has not played it for precisely 2 years (5/20/04).

Yikes, same exact response to "Got My Mind Set on You".

Surely that's not possible. Musta showed up in "classics" (or else Ginger's played it multiple times).

Ginger has definitely played it more than once.  But I have every set, classics included, since that date from Dave.

If I stick to the formula of 5 times in my Db makes you a Katrina, then Dave has just turned both this Winwood tune & the earlier Alarm tune into Katrinas.

Total bustout though, for "Parents Just Don't Understand".

Was that a real prediction? (or a Sears prediction?)  It's hard for me to tell since the stream is often delayed a bit.   I don't think I've even heard this one before.

And what the hell is ETA?

jumping out of her flesh
and i said -
cash in!
cash in now honey
cash in now

For the bonus track Annalisa offered up Crowded House & the female Foghead thought about it & finally let Annalisa pick.  So she picked Hothouse Flowers "I'm Sorry".

Whew!

Post by: RGMike on May 11, 2006, 11:15:59 AM
so the Foghead says "I can't believe I got thru" to answer the stupid Will Smith trivia question... and then when she's given the chance to pick the bonus track she tells Annalisa to choose.

Luckily, it's Hothouse Flowers.

That's what he told me when we went to POC's send-off/b-day party.  He also mentioned that she was moving from The City to Berkeley, so he was looking to be spending a lot of time riding BART.
Title: Katrina math

If I stick to the formula of 5 times in my Db makes you a Katrina, then Dave has just turned both this Winwood tune & the earlier Alarm tune into Katrinas.

Total bustout though, for "Parents Just Don't Understand".

As time goes by, the Katrina threshold should also increase.

Yep, I agree. Or say, maybe three appearances in any 12-month period?

It's a lot faster to see a simple count, but I think the metric that, when I take the time to calculate it, is appearance %.  Since we get nearly twice as many '83 sets as we get late sixties or mid nineties, it really needs to be a rate, not a raw number.  When I calculated it the first time around in the Katrina report, the threshhold that actually felt right was anything over 30%.  And that also compensates somewaht for the discontinuous nature of the first third of the Db.

But like I said, that takes a few extra steps.

Point taken. Assuming that a given year shows up about once a month (for the more popular mid-70s to mid-80s years anyway), three times in 12 months would be 25%, and your 30% threshold is actually a more stringent level of katrina-ness. So I'm good with that.
