Original title of this thread was : "Fear of a '90s Planet":
I'll change the thread title if Dave somehow surprises us, but I suspect we're in for a Nineties Friday. A quick survey shows that in the past 3 months we've had '90 (twice), '91 (thrice), '92 (ditto), '93 (twice) and '95 & '96 (once each). So we're sort of owed a '94 set (cue Weezer!) or perhaps the ever-elusive '97 -- we're still awaiting our 2nd visit there, iirc.
But I'd much prefer a theme of some sort; it's been ages since Strictly Instrumental.
But Dave's off (Webster's filling in), which means a '90s "classic" is still quite possible.
ETA: it's 1980, a month to the day (8/12) since we last visited this year.

not only has it been more than 2 1/2 yrs since a Strictly Instrumental set, it's been more than 6 months since Dave said, on air, that he was going to do one belatedly after my b-day request. So I'm not holding my breath.

good thing I wasn't going to hold my breath!

well, I will have to find out later how the big wheel spins, but I don't like this Webster dude.

please elaborate -- I haven't exactly warmed up to him either, but I want to know what you dislike about him. Too young-and-snarky?

yeah, and just the wrong tonality of his voice. Not sympatico. I don't wish him ill, he just doesn't do it for me.

He was an Alice DJ for many years.
Good start with Squeeze since I'm going to see 'em tomorrow night.

BOS Squeeze, "Another Nail..." shraytabase types: let us know if this is indeed a "classic" or newly recorded.
da doo doo doo...

He speaks with the same extra syncopation as Benson, not at all the smooth phrasing as Dave. Sounds like he's performing, not
'talking'.

da doo doo doo...
First heard January 3, 2007, duped on November 1, 2007, now a doubledupe classic.
I don't like being double duped, but I think instead I'll go see a matinee of Burn After Reading, where Brad Pitt plays a double dupe.
-
ooo! BOS2 Broooce, "The River".
-
Morbidity + hot Bruce = BOS to "The River."

man that was all she wrote.
I'm outta here. Have a great weekend y'all!

Bwhahaha! I'd rather be double-dipped...

Texans should not go down to the River the next few days

Seasons come and seasons go, but the ongoing love for John Waite never subsides.
VHM Baby's and now I'm really outta here.

OK, I liked the Babys in Bob's '78 set, but enuf is enuf, as Obama would say.

Double your Babys, double your Duds. :(

Mrs. Garrett shook Sue Ellen all night long!
WOS, though, to AC/DC; I deeply dislike almost everything I've ever heard from them. Brian Johnson: worst vocalist in the history of ever.
-
Ms Garrett gets curvier... and curvier... and now she shakes me all nite long! Talk about American thighs!

The curse of the Northwest: no Portland date, just Seattle and Tacoma.
I'm less bummed about this than about David Byrne's skipping both Portland and Seattle. :(

BOS4 Devo. Excuse me while I Whip It!

True, he does sound a lot like Benson, w a similar "I'm On The Mic Hear Me Now" affect. I don't find him that annoying, though -- unlike Annalisa who induces me to whine back at her in a similar sing song voice... "Hello you phenomenal person, you! Here's more Counting Crows .. (pause) .. Enjoy! .. . (another pause) ... On KFOG!"

proxy of shray, "Katrina in the Bathroom"

got here late, but BOSs 1 & 2 to Devo and the Beat!

What if he tried announcing like Cronkite? ;)
-
My BOS's came early--the Squeeze and Springsteen tunes, with VHMs to the AC/DC, Devo, and E-Beat songs. Just a couple of frequent fliers left to go (although I rather like one of them).
-
VHM the other Benson, "Give Me the Princess".

If that's the way it is, then so be it.

we're only making plans for 'Trinas.

ha! I remember that Morey rant about "overplayed" songs. Er, Dave: "Magnificent Seven".
-
VHM Ms Summah -- she's a wan-duh-wuh!
I remember this one now--Dave was certainly lurking this day, as he copped an excuse for the XTC and pronounced the DS song "wan-duh-wuh".

We were out tonight with my kids for my youngest daughter's birthday (24!) and the subject of Webster came up, and they knew him from Alice, so we just agreed that I was just a grumpy old man. I guess I resent anyone who's not Dave.

I had missed the bonus track, and am astounded that they actually played "Clampdown". If that had been in a set it woulda been an ATBB fer sure.
