Title: 14 April 2011: it's... 1994
Post by: RGMike on April 13, 2011, 08:04:22 PM
Amazingly, we haven't hit '94 since December.  I'd've sworn '96 and '99 are more overdue. Get yer licks in -- we're already getting requests for Corrective Soles.

But props to Meredith Santiago for beating me to the Carpenters-covers-CD punch and requesting Shonen Knife, which I heartily seconded. It's looking good for us to hear that one, methinks.

Put my requests in for Cracker, Kate Bush, Smashing Pumpkins, Sass Jordan and Aimee Mann.

Overheard the first few songs but just got to the computer. VHM Toad -- snoozy but a good album for contemplating the cycle of life, aging, and death. Aimee Mann was NTM, and I liked it.

A "shrug" to REM with their grunge album. Big REM fan but Monster was just one-note and irritating. I like a few songs (Crush with Eyeliner, Strange Currencies) but it's definitely a low point.

1994 was about major college drinking (and mostly not by me). A friend put"Say it ain't so" on repeat and then passed out. Woke up the next morning and it was still going. Green Day, Alice in Chains, NIN, etc.

well every time I change it to something else the gang (even those here not oriented to lusting after women) always complains until I bring her back.

I have to BOS Weezer, there's really no reason that KFOG doesn't play them in their normal rotation, and now that Channel 92.3 is defunct I have half as many chances to hear them on the radio.

Kevin Spacey, Swimming with sharks -- relatively obscure, as AL movie clips go.

I like how he says "i don't care if there's Fairy Dust in it.."  because.. well, you know.

Is this Radiohead?   sounds like Thom Yorke... I like it. ETA: it's Jeff Buckley

I'll add Lyle Lovett to my Guilty displeasure list, although he gets bonus points for looking like another famous person

Yeah, no cheating by playing repeated clips from the same movie in a single set. Reminds me of how she jams on the "Mr. Microphone" clip like 10x whenever it comes up. "HEY GOOD LOOKING" *smash smash*

I think AL is way lazy on the clips. Too bad because I often like those more than the set.

Almost WOS for Green Day. That riff is so repetitive.

Didn't like this set much even though I liked 1994. I don't know why everything had to be so downtempo. BOS Aimee Mann and Jeff Buckley, both NTM.

one of the FB-Fogheads actually voted a VHM to John Hiatt!

And tho' AL suggested in her BOS post that this was a set of songs KFOG was playing back then... I don't recall them playing the Jeff Buckley (BOS winner) and they definitely weren't playing Green Day or Weezer (tho' Live 105 was).

4/14/11- Thursday! Sounds Like KFOG Radio in 1994!!

 1. Toad The Wet Sprocket- Fall Down
 2.  Aimee Mann- That's Just What You Are
(Movie: Swimming With Sharks-Kevin Spacey)
 3.  REM- Bang and Blame
 4.  NRBQ- A Little Bit of Bad
(TV: The Simpsons)
 5.  Lyle Lovett- Penguins
 6.  Tom Petty- Wildflowers
(Movie: Swimming With Sharks)
 7.  Weezer- Undone (The Sweater Song)
 8.  Grant Lee Buffalo- Mockingbirds
 9.  Jeff Buckley- Last Goodbye (BOS!!)
(Movie: Swimming With Sharks)
10.  Green Day- When I Come Around

Wasn't able to tune in today, but it looks like I didn't miss much.  Would've BOSed Weezer, even though My Name Is Jonas Bros is a zillion times better than The Sweater Song.
