I'm guessing that, given how good last week was, this week might be kind of underwhelming...but the wheel is still spinning...
And if you were listening to Ginger's set, you know it's 1990.
-
Well, Ginger gave us the answer: it's 1990 again! "Way Down Now" to start; how many other dupes will Dave come up with?

Safe to say, probably not the Subdudes or Replacements songs, and the Paul Simon is not likely either.

Sympathy for the World Party. BOS for Jane's Addiction -- a good Random Numbers tune.

I was thinking the same thing, and we were overdue for '90s. But we're getting it out of the way on Monday; nowhere to go but up.
Dave's been caught 'trining.

another Morey standby: "You're the Voice". And I'm the SF Weekly.
-
Early candidate for the segue of the week:
The Kuwait/Iraq clip (guessing that was Colin Powell?) into "The King Is Half Undressed."
-
BOS and proxy of Gazoo and cairo: Jellyfish. Ba-ba-ba-baaaaa!

Jellyfish was a-ma-zing! I wonder why they didn't stick together. Will have to read their bio again.

And for me as well. VHM for the Henley tune that just started--one of his better ballads.
-
an '89 leftover from Mr Henley.
-
Wonder if we'll get Last Plane out sometime in the next four songs?
-
BOS for the punchline to the whole Newhart Show. I remember that - really funny.
-
well, here's Simon, tho' not the rarity Ginger gave us -- indeed, it's one of the 2 usual-suspect "ROTS" songs I referred to in the 'BCO thread.
BOS2 Bob Newhart.

One of the best swan song shows in television's history. Very cool of Suzanne Pleshette (who'd likely smoked a couple million cigarettes in the interim) to come back and help with the joke.
-
yeesh, one of Dave's most egregious Katrinas in this year: Michael Penn, "No Myth". A song I really loved at the time. (in fact, Dave tends to play it in 2 years, making it even more Katrinish)
And here's Blues Traveller too. Zzzzzzzzzzz.
-
Let's kiss this thing goodbye, indeed. Del Katrini doing what I hope is song #10.
-
"we re-kickstart the set with Super Hit Six." Yeah, like *that* made any diff today, Dave...

BOS and proxy of Gazoo and cairo: Jellyfish. Ba-ba-ba-baaaaa!
Jellyfish was a-ma-zing! I wonder why they didn't stick together. Will have to read their bio again.
here you go:
Jellyfish seemingly had all the right ingredients for success — catchy, melodic pop songs squarely in the Beatles/Squeeze mold, plus strong kitsch appeal in its retro sound and wildly colorful, clashing wardrobe. Founding members Andy Sturmer (drums, vocals) and Roger Manning (keyboards) previously played in the pop/rock quartet Beatnik Beatch; after that group called it quits, the Jellyfish lineup was rounded out with guitarist Jason Falkner and bassist Chris Manning, brother of Roger. Bellybutton, the group's well-received 1990 debut, produced a minor chart single in "Baby's Coming Back," but nothing made a major impact. The follow-up, Spilt Milk, followed the same style, adding more intricate arrangements and harmonies. Despite it being another stellar collection of tasty power pop, the album failed to live up to lofty expectations, and the band split up after an ensuing supporting tour wrapped up.
In the wake of their breakup, the former bandmembers turned up on different projects — including former bassist Tim Smith's outfit the Umajets, a pair of bands that include Roger Manning, Imperial Drag, and the Moog Cookbook, while Jason Falkner has issued a pair of critically acclaimed solo releases, very much in the style of his former band (Sturmer has appeared to have turned his back on performing and has produced such acts as the Merrymakers and Puffy). Although their career was short, a slew of Jellyfish-influenced bands began to crop up in their wake — including the aforementioned Merrymakers, Ben Folds Five, the Hutchinsons, and the Excentrics, among others. A 14-track collection of Jellyfish's best-known material (as well as a smattering of rare live tracks) (Greatest) was issued in 1999.

Listened without posting to Ginger's set & then was in the car for the first 2/3 of Dave's. Called in to say "I think it's 1990" within the first 2 bars of the WP tune, can only presume that after I parked the car Dave played a few snippets of callers with the correct year that would have included me. Missed the replay, though, so maybe have to listen for myself on Satruday.
Agreed with y'all on the Jellyfish & the Colin Powell segue into it.
