Title: 15 Oct 2010: it's.... 1991!
Post by: sundaygal on October 14, 2010, 04:32:53 PM
'91 had it goin' on.  I've requested Star Sign by Teenage Fanclub, as promised.  Let's see if AL feels it too.

interesting FB requests, generally -- not the usual Morey-era '91 set, I'm hoping.

Morey clearly didn't care for the 1986 and on period, but 1991 in particular was a weak spot. I never need to hear "Big Sky Country" again.

"Big Sky Country" I actually wouldn't mind.  But yeah, no more Color Me Badd please.

Would love even more though to hear Enigma "Sadeness, Pt. I" or Erasure "Chorus"...have we heard from either of those bands on 10@10?

Better yet - Walking Down Madison by Kirsty McColl (featuring Johnny Marr and a killer guitar riff).  That was a fabulous request.

LOVE that one.

but this post in the '91 thread gave me pause:

Quote
Rush - "Bravado" (from "Roll the Bones")
Yes - "I Could Have Waited Forever" (from the much maligned "Union")
Genesis - "Never a Time" (from "We Can't Dance")
and as always
...Jethro Tull - "Thinking Round Corners"

er... yeesh.

Thanks for the "Walking Down Madison" reminder - that was an awesome song. I actually have that album on cassette. I'll request it next time '91 rolls around.

Cher's "Love And Understanding" has been sadly ignored as well. Hell, I wouldn't even mind hearing "Couple Days Off" from Huey.

Can't take the credit for Walking Down Madison - it was already requested by Radical.  (I'm still trying to match who's who on FB and in this club)  
I have the CD maxipad single somewhere...gotta dust it off and add it to my iTunes.

Speaking of Cher - her Just Like Jesse James is a guilty pleasure song of mine and I might muster up the courage to request it next time we're in '89.

You guys have suggested a ton of songs I haven't heard in a while and would enjoy hearing.  Also one Mike mentioned on another thread recently: Londonbeat's "I've Been Thinking About You."

But I hate thinking of 1991 - my HS graduation year - as being nearly 20 years old.

I'll request "Nothin' Bout Me" the next time 1993 rolls around. For 1991 I would've preferred "The Soul Cages".

heh, more blues for youse.   always a VHM to Stevie Ray, and I think that other guy was Buddy Guy.  He's a legend or something.

I always enjoyed Stevie guitar prowess, but I wish he had done more pop, a la Let's Dance.

I concur that dem blooze can sound alike a lot.   And if you don't "feel" them, it just won't work.

worth noting that AL's FB page -- usually overflowing with commentary -- has very few enthusiastic BOS voters today.

Pretty good set--they played my two fave songs (Start Again and Ain't It Enough) so I was quite chuffed. Also The Concept, Star Sign, Everything Flows, a number of others I can't recall right now. Didn't do Alcoholiday or Neil Jung however, but they can't do everything. We got about an hour out of them, could have done with more since it was billed as a co-headline with Superchunk but that wasn't quite how it played out--the Fannies didn't get an encore whereas the Chunk did. Still, since they tour over here so rarely (last time I saw them was maybe '06 @ Bimbo's?) I'll take what I can get. And since they hadn't played Portland in god knows how long, I was just happy to be able to see them as close to home as I did.
