Title: 1 March 2011:it's... 1989
Post by: RGMike on March 01, 2011, 07:56:01 AM
No FB clues (shocker!) and I haven't heard a promo.  Another 10:00 meeting for me, so I hope it won't be a year I'm too fond of.  ;)

And no requests means I didn't get to ask for "Walk the Dinosaur" or "Buffalo Stance". >:(

Ugh.  Black Velvet could possibly be the worst song of 1989.

So Alive and soooo many other Love & Rockets songs that I prefer.

I'm not loving this whole not-taking-requests-on-FB-anymore thing.  '89 wasn't this dull.

A Squirrel Like You is about the only thing I've ever found the Smithereens to be good for.

That's my 2nd favorite 'reens tune, but the best song on that album (& one of the best of the year IMHO) is "Yesterday Girl".  But no one ever plays it for me.

BOS Sowing The Seeds Of Love.  This song is perfect in every way.  I love the Paul Weller dis shout-out, "Kick out The Style, bring back The Jam!"  Couldn't have agreed more in '89.

Basia -- the Polish Sade.

Agreed except for the Jive Bunny which is a HFH for me. I'd add Tanita Tikaram, "Twist in my Sobriety" and Grayson Hugh's "Talk it Over"

Hard to pinpoint exactly with the Facebook timekeeping, but it looks like AL had to jumpstart the 10@10 comments herself this morning.  Another set that sounded like Dave-when-he-was-bored.

You're History - Shakespears Sister

Oh, and just about anything off of Raw Like Sushi (Manchild, Inner City Mama, etc.) would be fine by me.

I would say that the Jive Bunny tune is worth precisely one listen. But I sure as hell would rather hear that than Stevie Ray Vaughn.

I'm kinda meh on "Talk It Over", but "Twist In My Sobriety" hasn't been heard by me in ages, and I'd love to hear it on 10@10.

Neneh Cherry might hold my personal record of "appreciation appreciation", if that makes any sense (the Gin Blossoms might be an example of "appreciation depreciation". I'd go as far as saying that her second album is even better.

can't argue w that.  no need for it.
I wrote on the FB page that it was one of the worst songs of that year and AL wrote back, "Shhh, don't tell, but I never quite got it, either...:)
People love it, tho. It tied for best-o-set. 1st time I've played on 10@10. I know it was a Dave fave on 10@10."

I still say it's a Morey-on-autopilot set. But tomorrow should make up for it.
