Title: 6 April 2011: It's 1990!
Post by: Big Fingers McGee on April 06, 2011, 05:46:01 AM
And let me be the first to say: Whoever requested "Nothing Compares 2 U" is likely the type of person to make one want to break things.

Not to mention the Sundays and the B-52s.

And I note (again) that a '90s year attracted only 20 "suggestion" comments, whereas '74 generated 50.

We're supposed to have an earthquake drill at work today; it will no doubt happen during 10@10 because that's how my luck runs.

"Another Day In Paradise" is particularly galling as it's clearly an '89 release, but that hasn't stopped Fogheads before, so why should it now?

BTW, if ya think Fogheads are bad... I was looking at the "live chat" feature on The Drive's website today; there was an exchange in which someone said that Springsteen is "the cheap version of Bob Seger" (!) and says "look at their live shows -- there's no comparison!" Meaning Bob is like, SOOOO much better live than Bruce. (!!) He also griped that today they did a 1979 10@10 without any Seger (even tho' he only had one charted single in '79).

personally, I always hope for pop or soul in the '90s because Dave always avoided those genres (except for a few choice Katrinas like MC Hammer or Haddaway). Hope we avoid "Birdhouse in Your Soul" this time.

I also think Twin Peaks was WAY overrated.

BOS "Groove is in the Heart", frequent flier tho' it is.

"I'm Vegan for Fire"? "I'm Digging for Fire?" Ah, Pixies. NTM. I have all the albums but Bossanova.

Was in a restaurant in Oakland and they had Come On Pilgrim on their iPod. I told them it was pretty bold given their somewhat middle-aged clientele to play Holiday Song. The hostess turned red but thanked me.

and this was YEARS before the music business ran out of songs to sample! (a famous Onion piece about that is on the internets... somewhere...)

I remember that place.   A little building crammed into an odd-shaped lot ... they had good burgers.  

BOS to Angelo Baldamenti!  Twin Peaks held my attention for a good 10 eps, but then I was like, WTF?! and lost contact.

Oh! I forgot that Iggy & Debby thing was from the Red Hot & Blue Cole Porter compilation, an AIDS fundraising effort.  Lots of good stuff on that. Have You Ever? wasn't my fave from that record, though.

I've got it on CD around here somewhere--I remember digging it quite a bit back in the day, but haven't played it much, probably since before I moved to SF in 98. It's likely among the "various artists" section of our CDs, which are still packed due to a shortage of shelf space here. Someday...

Worth checking out, but keep your expectations in check, at least initially. It's one of those you really have to dig into deeply to get what it was about. Definitely a product of its time.

Sounds like you need consultants to come to your place and build CD shelves in strange places!  Oh wait ...
