Title: 26 Jan 2011: it's... 1991
Post by: RGMike on January 25, 2011, 08:47:42 PM
I caught AL's FB post just minutes after she made it. I'm hoping against hope for some soul, and suggested

MJ, "Black or White"
LLCoolJ, "Around the Way Girl"
Boys2Men, "MotownPhilly"

fingers crossed!

Love that LL song.  Someone actually requested "Baby Baby" by Amy Grant.  Oh, HELL no.  She ain't no 'round the way girl, fo sho.

'91 was a huge alternative year, so I requested some Trashcan Sinatras, Catherine Wheel (LIVE 105 had a free concert in GG Park for them that year), and The Pogues.

I have "Cream" on my '91 wishlist but since she played "Seven" for me recently I thought I'd try a diff artist or 3.

Yo, Stipe -- turn away from that yo-ho-homophobe.

7 appearances for this song alone in the Morey era --plus multiple plays of other tunes of theirs. And who knows how many in the AL nearly-2-years.

WOS2 Tim Allen.

WOS3 Spin Doctors, which belongs in '92, methinks.

ETA: OK, the LP was released in Aug '91 but really didn't get airplay until the following year, iirc.

same here.  my SO was into them back then, but I was clueless.  

btw, Tim Allen did time for drug possession back in the late 70s.


On October 2, 1978, Allen was arrested in the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport for possession of over 650 g (1.4 lb) of cocaine. He subsequently pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges, and provided the names of other dealers in exchange for a sentence of three to seven years rather than a possible life imprisonment. He was paroled on June 12, 1981 after serving 2 years and 4 months in a Federal Correctional Institution in Sandstone, Minnesota.[18][19][20] Allen had the Federal Bureau of Prisons Register # 04276-040.[21]

I remember going to demo speakers with my friend Kevin at some audio store on Van Ness (Cambridge Audio maybe) shortly after this album came out. We brought it along, cranked this song up, and were summarily escorted from the store. I remember being told "This is a family store, we've got kids in here." Huh?!?

I saw 'em a few times back then. (Opened for World Party once at the Warfield--I was in my element.) They definitely had a schtick (they dressed like escapees from a Sid & Marty Krofft Saturday morning show) but man they could crank the power pop. Serious students of the school of Raspberries, Badfinger, and Rundgren. I was always amazed how their drummer could get a snare and a small kick drum to sound like a whole drumkit.
