So much for "tradition." But it's been a pretty good week otherwise.

damn, I was just thinking what a swell week it's been , and how '69 or '70 would totally cap it (and make the Marathon a pleasure tomorrow). Oh, well. I'm going back to WLNG. Some days are NOT better than others, Dave.
-
'LNG is playing "My Baby Loves Lovin" -- much more like it for a Friday. Let me know if Haddaway shows up ;)
-
this U2 song "Some Days Are Better Than Others" ain't bad.
Some '93 songs are better than others.
-
Well, of the two sets that led off with Some Days...., this is the better of the two IMO, but it's not perfect either. Whitebread Picnic, for example: not a fave.

This is from the same week as the 1978 set last Sept. No Haddaway & a pretty good set as far as '93 goes.

Seems as though whoever's selecting the "classics" is not putting too much effort into it. A couple more of these Sept '08 sets and we'll have heard the entire month again. :-/

Whitebread Picnic....
LOL!
was that song #2? I changed the station after abt 20 seconds of that one.

Whitebread Picnic, LOL!
But that's the nadir of the set really. Couple of bustouts & two-timers in here.
-
ROTFL! That Letterman clip was worth the price of admission. Top 10 complaints Dan Quayle has about new president Clinton.
And here's my BOS #1, JCM "Junior".
-
Assume that this JCM song is one of the bustouts, but it's greek to me: Don't remember this any more than I did the Michael Johnson song from yesterday. But it's loads better than Whitebread Picnic.

I like Mellonhead's "Junior" - NTM, too.

I got this CD back then, really quite good all the way through.
-
VHM "Connected" for zeitgiest alone. Lot's of dance floor memories associated with Stereo MC's, though it is a Katrina by any account.

Gotta give Cobain et al credit--Nirvana did not make Nevermind Part II when they came up with In Utero. I remember thinking, wow, this is not necessarily an easy album to listen to--it ain't Sonic Youth, but he's really challenging his audience here.

I had to stare at that for a few seconds before I got it. I think my default font isn't as conducive for that one as others.

I only know Nirvana's heavy radio play songs, but it's apparent that guy could truly write songs and craft a great hook.

My reaction as well. I thought is was much more easily understood as a follow up to Insecticide.
This will win BOS btw, and it's my #2. BOS #3 to Westerberg & VHM's the rest of the way out.

In that case you really need to get their Unplugged album. Very revealing of Cobain's talent, as well as personality.

yeah, it's a stretch. it's not a perfect read even on my machine, but I took a chance... :)

urth, have you seen The Wrestler yet? great scene where Mickey Rourke's character is in a bar with Marisa Tomei and they're reminiscing about '80s hair bands while Ratt's "Round & Round" plays on the jukebox. Dude! Motley Crue! Warrant!Awesome! Rourke turns to Tomei and says "And then that pussy Cobain had to come along and ruin it for everyone -- the 90s sucked!”

this one is NTM, and it's dangerously approaching Smooth Jazz Territory.

I'd go along with a BOS for Westerberg just on general principles, although I don't think Runaway Wind is one of his best efforts.
And another BOS for Tim Finn, Hit The Ground Running. It's a K in Pride sets, but this is the only instance of it in a date-based set.
And BOS World Party while I'm at it. Just cuz.

Have not, but I definitely want to. I think it just debuted up here this week, so hopefully it'll be at one of the semi-nearby suburban multiplexes and not just in downtown PDX.

Tune# 10 can be dedicated to Rick Warren and all folks that Dan Savage calls the American Taliban.
Verse 3:
But both the girl and boy were glad
'Cause one kid had it worse than that
'Cause then there was this boy whose
Parents made him come directly home right after school
And when they went to their church
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just gone there
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
-
this World Party track is very Kink-esque.
nice, lilting and breathy.
-
uh oh, I'm a sucker for the Crash Test Dummies. VHM.
Mmm, Mmm, Mmm'kay?

:D :D :D
We should get the Princess to write a parody of this with that as the hook.
(aside to Tinka, did you hear us talk about her much yet? Our once resident singer-songwriter)

Good call. I always associate Karl Wallinger (WP's major domo) with Beatle-esque songwriting, but really, he's a student of great pop songwriting, British or otherwise. I assume you've heard their Goodbye Jumbo album? If not, get thee to Amoeba and find a copy. It's a truly great album front to back, imo.

"He couldn't quite believe
That the drugs were just baaaaad........."
PS: Happy weekend, all.

Yes, I have heard a lot about her, she sounds super cool. I see her on facebook, too!
