A first!

A first!
and our first Katrina-in-the-making: Chumbawumba. BOS from me.. Methinks Dave might dare to play Hanson, or at least I'm hoping.
I had a hunch this would be our day for '97; I very nearly posted a predictions list last nite. Of which Chumbawumba woulda been one.
-
Jeez, I think these first two songs have appeared in Thanksgiving Turkeys sets--I'd bet on it.
-
hm for paula cole, but not this song...
-
Where have all the proxy-of-Gaz's gone?
-
I was actually enjoying listening to the radio in '97 more than I had been for years (of course it was mostly Alex Bennett, Steve Masters & Big Rick over on Live 105).

methinks yer right. Chumbawumba might've been in a "Guilty Pleasure" set too. So it's *already* a Katrina! ;)

Indeed -- Gaz & I have also commented on what a great year it was. The "rebirth of pop" and all that.

Oooooh! Monica Lewinsky phone call tape! MMeeeOWW!

Oooooh! Monica Lewinsky phone call tape! MMeeeOWW!

and then segued into "Secret garden" -- EWWWWW!
-
Oooooh! Monica Lewinsky phone call tape! MMeeeOWW!
Well Monica may have had the chance to have an affair with a married man since then, but I'm damn sure no one has let her get within 1000 yards of a president.

another future 'trina, methinks: it's a "Bitersweet Symphony" all right.

I just lost the KFOG signal in mid-Verve, so KFOG may have lost their transmitter. Is the stream still running?
-
OMFG!!! BOS2 Hanson, "MMMMMBop", a GREAT pop single!

OK, got 'em back.

and there was definitely a Turkey set that included both this & Chumbawumba (but pretty sure Paula Cole was never considered a Turkey)

Beg to differ. Check the 2003 turkeys set. Although I will concede it does seem an odd choice.

I'd've remembered hearing Hanson, I think -- Cole was def in a theme set, if not Turkeys then... something.
and here's another Live 105 regular that KFOG never played.

Hanson's not in the shraytabase, but Paula Cole was indeed a Turkey in 2003.

Well, at least Dave didn't play "Candle in the Wind '97". But WOS2 Sister Hazel, one of the many worthless Hootie clones of the period.
-
Dave plays one of Ginger's favorite '97 tracks, Sister Hazel "All For You"
-

Ginger just dropped a notch in my esteem ;)

No F*ing Way! Dave is NOT playing Aqua! I refuse to believe it!
-
AAAAACK!!! WOS3 "Barbie Girl" -- Dave how COULD you???
-
WTF is this Barbie Girl thing? Sounds like a Madonna sendup.
-

If he calls it "a great record" in the backannounce I'll slit my wrists. Horrible -- one of the WORST singles of the decade.

VHM Duncan Shiek, who gets points for Spring Awakening on B'way.

It was huge enough that Mattel sued them!
Can anyone tell me what country they're from? I think this might be worth 5 frink points.

I'd be careful about making proclamations like that, we don't know what Dave thinks about this year yet, and I wouldn't put it past him.

Unsuccessfully, I'm happy to say (it's awful, but it's still protected parody). And this from Wiki:
"The song was voted the fourth "Worst Number One of All Time" in a VH1 poll, and was featured in spot #32 on VH1's "Most Awesomely Bad Songs... Ever" countdown. An unrelated VH1 countdown, VH1's 100 Greatest One-hit Wonders, rated it #88."
-
Well, that was a lot more interesting than any '90s set in memory, even with 3 WOS's from me. Tonite I'll dig out my Best-of-'97 mixtape and see what other goodies we might've heard (or will, in the next '97 set, which may be nearly a year away, based on experience).
But I'm jealous of Urth, who managed to get thru 1997 (and indeed the next 10 years) without having heard Barbie Girl until now.
-
Bonus: Mighty Mighty Bosstones! this woulda got a big BOS from me.

It totally got by me, something for which I feel very fortunate. But it's indeed as bad as everyone says.
And I imagine Mattel sued because if they hadn't, it could have been construed as not defending their trademark, which in today's courts is tantamount to abandoning it altogether.
-
Where have all the proxy-of-Gaz's gone?
My Paula Cole love is pretty much limited to her Amen album (though "Cowboys" was a cute novelty at first, and I do still like "Saturn Girl" from the disc that preceded this.
-

This was a HUGE hit.
Trivia: It marked the first time an artist debuted in the Top 10 with its first charting single. It happened again soon afterward with Shawn Colvin's "Sunny Came Home" and then became a bit more commonplace in the American Idol age.

I believe they were Swedish.
I've posted this in the past, but some songs from memory that would be great in the next visit to 1997:
Space, "Female of the Species"
Squirrel Nut Zippers, "Hell"
No Doubt, "Don't Speak" or "Sunday Morning" or "Spiderwebs"
OMD, "Walking on the Milky Way"
Poe, "Angry Johnny" (this might have been late '96)
R.E.M. w/ Patti Smith, "E-Bow the Letter"
White Town, "Your Woman"
U2, "Discotheque"
Chemical Brothers, "Setting Sun"
Portishead, "Sour Times (Nobody Loves Me)"
-

Ah, the Soundscan era begins!
The Colvin was one I'd've bet money we'd hear in this set. Next time for sure. And (I hope) White Town's "Your Woman".

White Town JINX! My '97 mixtape included "Hell" and "Spiderwebs" as well as the M-M Bosstones and Reel Big Fish. more tonight when i find the tape.
and Aqua were Danish-Norwegian, I think.

A first for me also. Hope not to hear it ever again.

Yep, formed in Denmark, the female singer is Norwegian, the rest Danish.

power just came back on. What a way to spend my last day of winter break. The radio started up playing "Rehab." What a mess all over town today.

From what I gather it's still out at our house, although PG&E promised it restored by 2:30. Hoping they get to it by the time I get home. Sarah said she's hunting for candles.

Cornershop, "Brimful of Asha"
Ben Folds Five, "Battle of Who-Could-Care-Less" and "Brick"
Green Day, "Time of Your Life"
Blur, "Song 2"
Big Blue Hearts, "Nobody Wants Her"
John Fogerty, "Southern Streamline"
Steve Earle, "Telephone Road"
I also had a bunch of country on the tape, including (OMFG!) Toby Keith in his pre-asshole days, doing a duet with Sting (!) on "I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying".

I'm sorry. This is a terrible set from a terrible year in music. It gets worse if Dave plays 1998. I'll say this though, I respect Hanson over the other "Teen pop music" (i.e. Backstreet Boys, N Sync, Britney) because they actually play their own instruments.

but it's such a FUN song! glad i ducked out after hanson. geesh - what a painful set.

I'll always be grateful to this song for garnering me $800 or so on "Rock & Roll Jeopardy," but I confess I've always thought the song overrated. Though I really get where Starsailor took its vocal cues now.

It really is the lost Archies single.

Cardigans, "Lovefool"
Ben Folds Five, "Battle of Who-Could-Care-Less"
Oh, thank you for reminding me of these two - both major faves of mine, and a big part of why '97 was such a great year to discover San Francisco. Both courtesy of Live 105, so great at the time.

Live 105's glory days for sure (even if they did shitcan Alex Bennet that year). Worth noting, I think, that of the 10 songs
1. Chumbawamba - Tub Thumping
2. Paula Cole - Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?
3. Bruce Springsteen - Secret Garden
4. Verve - Bittersweet Symphony

only the Bruce, Sheryl Crow, Sister Hazel and Duncan Shiek were actually being played by KFOG in '97. Maybe the Cole too, but I don't remember hearing it much. I *do* remember listeing to Z-95.7 a lot that summer because they were playing "MMMMBop" every 2 hours, like clockwork -- the only station in town that was playing it.

The 3EB track was in rotation as well, IIRC.
