Title: 27 April 2011: It's...1988!
Post by: urth on April 26, 2011, 11:05:00 PM
As of 11pm, no clue as to the year or query for suggestions so I'm guessing she's doing this one herself, sans input from the masses.

ETA: AL gave us a late-night reveal of the year while we were all tucked safe in our beds--1988 (I think).

Looks like it's gonna be 1988.  AL went to the Paul Simon concert last night and posted the year around 2:00am-ish.  The insomniacs were posting soon after...

Probably just as well, as Fogheads would invariably request "Roll With It", "The Flame", or egad, the Katrina of all Katrinas "Wishing Well".

I requested non-"What I Am" Edie Brickell.

AL kicks '88 off with The Smithereens.
Here we go rollin' with a Steve Winwood Katrina.  Not off to the greatest of starts.

oh yeah, I forgot there was another Smithereens songs I liked, and this is it.

HM To Stevie Winwood.  I saw him in concert back then, it was rather yacht rocky at times, but he's a legend and what a unique voice.

1988 I think of 10,000 Maniacs, Squeeze, Traveling Willburys, B.A.D. Tighten up Volume 88, and would like to hear any of them.

John Hiatt alert?

maybe I'll just roll with it...

"...the kids are banging in the back like Charlie Watts? "

I think Charlie swings more than he bangs. Keith Moon would have been a better choice.  but, then again,  Charlie's alive.

BOS Bangles, very nice song and seldom-played.

Boring of Set to "do you wanna dance" 50's throwback. B52's much more entertaining for this kind of sound.

hell yeah, she's so tanned and tiny that her normal-sized eyes look huge and gleaming when she looks sideways.  We all swooned.

WOS to the "no jack kennedy" news Katrina. It was a non-sequitur anyway (response was about how much experience he had, not claiming he is Jack Kennedy or has similar policies). We're all the worse for zingers replacing substantive discussion.

But BOS leonard cohen! A better but more obvious song would have been "Democracy"

Ziggy Marley = nowhere near as annoying as his father.  Still can't get into him though.

VHM to Leonard Cohen

To anyone born after the 70's, Bob Marley is the music either you remember fondly from countless stoner parties or was the music your damn roommate put on an endless loop while stoned. I experienced the latter, and thus can't stand Marley even though I think he probably had a real significance to some people at a different time.

See also "The Wall" laserdisc. Ouch, serious nausea.

I'm gonna WOS Neil Young and the Blue Notes because of a bad experience I had at their concert in Mountain View at the old theater on Castro Street.  The first set was great, but the second set was identical to the first set.  I couldn't believe they did that to us.  We left before they were done.

While I respect Neil Young as an artist, he has a tendency to drag down these sets. I expect a little sugar in my 10@10.

yeah, maybe Bensen was guilty of fallacious reasoning there, but Quayle was, too.  

Last night at the SF Int' Film Festival they had a program that used films and live musical accompaniment of Leonard Cohen's music, done by several acts, one of whom was Kelley Stoltz.  Alas, I didn't go, too tired, but I bet it was purty good.

I'm inches away from an FB-post relating this, but I can only imagine that a 2010 set's Katrina will be somebody saying "It's Torture Baseball". Enough already!

No idea.  My theories included "they only knew 8 songs so they had to repeat 'em" and "they were recording it for something and wanted to have multiple takes so they could pick and choose the best tracks". It didn't matter -- I was pissed.

Off topic, but I love reading that with the British interpretation of that last sentence (pissed = drunk). Totally changes the meaning.  :)

The Neil Young song was over 6 minutes long.  Teen Age Riot by Sonic Youth is just as long and I would've much preferred hearing it.  Just sayin'.

Just heard "Teenage Riot" on my iPOD, along with just about every other Sonic Youth tune. Very enjoyable. Now onto Rick Springfield!

Sorry, but except for the Bangles and Brian Wilson tunes, this has to be one of the most Moreytrina-laden sets AL has ever done. Were there any interesting requests made?

(BTW, I'd post the list but I haven't figured out how to cut & paste without a mouse)

I saw a Bluenotes show during that same period at the long-gone Omni in Oakland. Same M.O. I think Neil wanted to rehearse the band in front of a live audience before they recorded the Bluenotes album, and they only knew the songs that were on the record. One of the guys I went with was pretty PO'd as well, and insisted we leave early too. Since he was driving, we left.
