Title: Wednesday April 6--it's...aw crap, it's 1990
Post by: urth on April 06, 2005, 09:53:22 AM
I'd love it if we hit 1972 today. Just consulted the magic calendar (it knows all, it tells all) and learned that we have visited both 1971 and 1972 a mere ONE TIME EACH in Twenty-aught-five (vertical tastings don't count). Hell, we've been to '69 three times (don't go there...). I proclaim an official 1971-72 deficiency, and suggest we lobby DM until this is corrected.

Lobbying DM does nothing but antagonize him, as several of us have noticed at one time or another.

But Katrina in Blue Jeans does make it seem a good idea ...

I detect a slight baseball theme in the clips here, between the Lurie announcement and Rosanne's vocal stylings.

HM to Put The Message in the Box. Only 'cause nothing else has come close. OK, maybe No Myth--I don't mind it either, for pretty much the reasons mentioned.

Whoops, I mean When the Rainbow comes. Right album, wrong song. But the rest of my sentiment applies. Great effin' album.

Was Unskinny Bop ever a hit? Totally got by me, but I was not listening to stuff like Poison in 90. More of a Narada, IMO.

I don't think he's EVER played Young MC (wish he would) or Tone Loc. I'd've remembered that because "Bust A Move" is a personal fave. Unless it happened while I was on vacay in Nov. He's played Run-DMC (with Aerosmith) too. And I think "Rapper's Delight" once.

I know the guy who directed the video for that. He lived in my dorm back at SF State. His name's Mark Solomon. He also plays the jilted groom at the end because the guy who was supposed to play the part didn't show.

The best part? Mark didn't even bother putting on a tux or a sport coat or anything to play the groom. He's just wearing one of his trademark striped short-sleeve shirts & jeans. Next time you see the video keep an eye out for him.

Yeah, I knew they were from hereabouts--a couple friends of mine worked with one of the Mannings at a Record Factory in Dublin.

Also, there's a folkie, name of Roger Manning too, based in NY I think. Not the same guy, no relation.

I was out driving between customer locations & heard most of the set.  This got my BOS too, & when I called in to tell Dave I also complimented him on the great segues, but none of you guys commented on them.  Sure it was a Katrina laden set, but both the "Giants are moving to Santa Clara" into the "You Dirty Bird" clip AND the Gulf War clip into "The King Is Half Underessed" were truly inspired.  I'd almost tape the set just for those moments tonight.

Anyway I told Dave that he was really on top of his game with the segues, and he said "thanks very much for noticing" in a really sincere & genuine way that showed he'd put some effort into them.

He still needs a whole new set list, but give credit where it is due.

You're right -- those are clever. I didn't even notice the "Dirty Bird" seg, and in our defense, I think we have such low expectations for '90s sets that all it takes is one or two Katrinas to put us on autopilot. Sad, but there you are.
