Title: 3 June 2009: it's... 1989
Post by: RGMike on June 03, 2009, 07:39:51 AM
Let's see how AL does with what is traditionally one of the most-dreaded years on the wheel in the computer.

This Week in God, as I recall, a old Daily Show schtick that Colbert used to do.  But my memory is a little suspect.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict that AL gives us either "Buffalo Stance" or "Batdance," either of which would make my morning.  (Yeah, it's 1 pm here, but since I just woke up, I'll call it morning.)

Just noticed that "Replacements-Achin' to Be" was listed in the "now playing" window on the old-school KFOG player, which never happened during Dave's tenure. Which tells me that Annalisa's playing stuff that's saved on their server, where I think Dave was spinning CDs (and vinyl) manually, without using the technology.

ETA: And the "upcoming song" field just told me what she was gonna play next. Not sure I like that part of it.

Except it was wrong! It's saying Dylan's Everything is Broken is next, and we got Smithereens.

Ha! -- the Neneh Cherry was the first song that leapt to mind when i heard the year. I'd settle for "Walk the Dinosaur" and an avoidance of FYC.

Replacements. During their salad days in Minneapolis, they were jokingly referred to as the 'Placemats' which got shortened to 'Mats by the cognoscenti.

Dave always played "A Girl Like You" in 1990, and now that I've checked, Annalisa's right & he was wrong.  Album & single both released & peaked in '89.

Def. high on my list so far. Gotta give AL points for digging deep into the releases of 89--when the Smithereens is the closest thing to a frequent flyer, we're doing pretty well.

OK, I suppose Fisherman's Blues could be considered a K, but it's so good I doubt any of us would care. BOS3.

I think we're right about the Now Playing feature vis a vis stuff the deejay brings form home...during the Kate Bush track it read: "Now playing KFOG 104.5 and 97.7 - World-Class Rock".

across the board bustout, i.e a song that not only isn't in the Db, but we also consensually agree none of the other 10@10's have played it either.

Sure looks like it. Meanwhile Fisherman's Blues showed up as "now playing" but Everything is Broken was still in the "next up" window--ah, there it is now, following the Exxon Valdez clip. Not bad.

We'll know AL is really getting into the groove when her segue subtext starts to elicit comments like DM's did.

It's not in the glossary, so I felt marginally justified in asking about it.

It's a Rob fave on the Peak when ever he does '89 as well.  (Which means it's not really an ATBB)

I wonder if Annalisa ever lurked here.  We have oft complained over the years about why Dave seldom went for a deeper track on albums like this one where he plays the one track to death, and then some.

One of my college friends that I worked at a restaurant with, & often got rides from, drove one of those.  This was in Tacoma & he named it the Klickitat, after one of the Washignton State Ferries.  "We don't park it, we moor it."

TANC: Just went back and found Ben Fong-Torres' interview with Annalisa from last summer. This passage rang a bell:

Quote
"They wanted to change it from 'Nonstop Rock' to 'Untamed Radio,' and the new program director - a woman - wanted me to say, 'Rock 'n' roll with a hard-on,' and I wasn't going to do that. So one morning, I put all the phones on hold, played whatever I wanted - it was the Replacements' 'Achin' to Be' - and left. You could do that, then."

So Achin' To Be is an AL-fave. The whole piece is here, if anyone wants to read it:
