And we're starting with a B52s song I don't think I have ever heard before. Good? Bad? Indifferent? Discuss.

"Good Stuff"? I think not... tho' Dave does get props for a breakout. But Fred sounds especially annoying on this one -- clearly trying to clone the previous, most-successful-of-career LP.

I like the B52's, have some of their album, but don't know this one.

"So let the people say we're downright nasty - I just say we're down right." Always liked this song though it's a little overproduced and self-consciously hit-conscious, following in the trails of Cosmic Thing's massive success.
Anyone remember what year Prefab Sprout's "Appetite" was from? I've had that stuck in my head yesterday and today.

that's funny. i wanted to say '92, but i remembered this song as later, for some reason. actually, it's that i remember the album before (the one with that other chevrolet song) being released in '92, but that's just age catching up with me, i guess.
"good stuff." a fun cassingle to have owned. haven't thought about it in years, though.
ooh! a peter gabriel song that doesn't mke me want to kill myself!

Is "Good Stuff" the title?
-
Nice bubble-it-up bass from Peter Gabriel on "Steam," a fine track overshadowed by its son-of-Sledgehammer video.
-

Ayup. I think that's the album title as well.

Hey Y'all, send me all your positive vibes this afternoon from 2:30 to 3:30. I have a 3rd interview, and I really want to get this job. Could be a huge jump in salary.

Woo Hoo! Go get 'em buddy!

ah, Mr Dolby, "I Love You Goodbye", the presumed BOS winner -- it almost always does.

VHM Thomas Dolby
Does anyone besides me remember the extremely short-lived ad campaign:
"Freedom's just another word for Datsun!"

BOS to Thomas Dolby, "I Love You Goodbye." Everyone who thinks he's a novelty artist should listen to this on repeat for an afternoon.

You have to admit, it's sublime in almost every respect.

Most certainly will. 3rd interview?--sounds like you made the final two. Go knock 'em dead.
Won't jinx it by asking too much, but if you get it, ya gotta give us all the deets.

This has been a year of major workplace transitions for about half the Clubhouse (Davefish, Alicat, POC, Geoff, me), so I should think you're due for something progressive to happen. I hope the new job will let you retain your flexibility of schedule and travel.

Must have been some bad blood. I met Tina and Jerry during my guitar biz days, and both seemed real nice. Perhaps David is a bit hard to work with?
-
I'm afraid I've rapidly lost interest in this set. Dave once again forgets that black people were making music in the '90s.

Though I've read a lot of Heinlein, but not nearly all of it. His style can become a bit oppressive. Of the books LL appeared in, I think I read Time Enough For Love and The Cat Who Walks Through Walls, but that was long ago -- those brain cells may not exist anymore.

"Bad blood" is an understatement. Tina, who apparently is a deep-end case, has said amazingly awful things about David in interviews in recent years.

Just finished reading a THeads bio called This Must Be The Place, and safe to say, yes. Tina has little patience for Mr. Byrne and his ego. Chris seems to be the peacemaker.
Jerry's living in the area these days (since garageband.com's heyday). I see him out around town about 2-3 times a year.

yeah, this sounds like a '92 set to me. nothing obscure, but it wasn't such a bad year for music. at least we still had variety on the radio. vhm to "something to breathe."

Nope, that's I Will Fear No Evil, and Johann Sebastian Bach Smith. Other than Stranger in A Strange Land and Glory Road, it's the Heinlein I remember best.

If this were A-Z week, "Come As You Are" would be preceeded by James Brown's "Cold Sweat, Parts I & II". One of the great segues in KFOG history & they do it every year.
(of course I'm biased, because when I said so to Annalisa 3-4 years ago she taped it & I wound up in the promo for the rest of the week.)

can I get an AMEN!
Sir Mix-a-Lot, TLC, BoyzIIMen, Prince, Luther & Janet's duet (Dave has not played the man since he died -- shameful!).
Has he ever played C&E's "Would I Lie to You"?

I'm flattered you think I might have been able to place that. I have read a number of Heinlein's books but not for a good while. Stranger in a Strange Land and Time Enough for Love were both great, although the latter could have been edited down by a hundred or so pages and not lost much. The Moon is A Harsh Mistress I really dug too.

ah yes. my braincells are more nonexistent than your braincells...

WOS to "Dizz Knee Land." No more than a gimmick to begin with, albeit a memorable one, and it's worn thin, all too thin.

Next time you see Jerry, tell him that your friend Mark sez "Man With A Gun" is one of his all-time favorite songs.
OOooohhh. BOS#2, "Diz Knee Land"
I just flipped off President George...

yes, quite a varied year for music. damn. i forgot aobut luther and janet. i think he has played "would i lie to you?"
poor dada. so many great songs...

Anyone who sings about pissing off the prez gets a VHM from me. I liked their Xmas record too.

Do people really say that? Nice tone, great overall sound, but awfully basic.

Au contraire, this is social commentary that is even more valid today than 13 years ago. And I think the hook stands up well enough, too.

Very good point -- "Best Things in Life Are Free" would have been perfect! Dave has a general aversion to Miss Janet that I find inconceivable. And if he's gone for Charles & Eddie at all, it hasn't been in recent years.

i bet big head todd is happy whenever '92 pops up on the 10@10 wheel. royalties!

He was ranked pretty high on the Rolling Stone all-time list, but hey, consider the source!

Didn't say I knew him, I just see him. (He's kind of assumed Paul Kantner's old role of local rock-star-about-town.) But if I have a chance, I'll let him know.

VHM the Cure. Didn't Dave play some '90s Cure late in the Morning Show?

"Old role"? PK doesn't still hang out at Vesuvios and Trieste?

Also consider that he's become the ultimate alt-rock martyr, so his reputation is magnified accordingly. Tortured artist, died young (albeit by his own hand), and had the poor judgement to marry Courtney Love.
A friend of mine was Steve Albini's assistant when they recorded In Utero in Minnesota--he doesn't talked about it a lot, but did tell some great stories about going to Mall of America with Dave Grohl and riding the rollercoaster.

He might--but I never hang out in those places. I used to see him at Slim's or the Music Hall or even Nightbreak (RIP) on occasion, but haven't in ages.

Thanks for all the positive karma everyone! The interviews went really well & (long story short) I'm being recommended to the VP, whom I will meet on Monday. She gives a thumbs up & I got it.
The postion is executive placement/IT recruiter with Robert Half Int'l in SJ. RHI is a really big, expanding company that specializes in both temp & perm placement in several divisons. They are revamping their IT perm group after the enforced hiatus of the dot.com crash. The two guys, Ryan & Jason, had already interviewed me 3 weeks ago, and at that time they had 1 position open and 1 more to fill later in the year as business growth allowed. Later they told me that they offered the initial position to an experienced perm recruiter that they had interviewed before me, but on Monday Ryan called me back to say that they had booked so much business in June that they got the 2nd req approved & wanted me to come back in. So I did & it went really well. Now I know I'm not actually competing with anyone else, it's just a matter of making as good an impression on the VP as I have on Ryan & Jason. Jason told me, "We want you to meet Susan (the VP). She almost always follows our recommendation, but she has the final say." He then proceeded to spend the last 15 minutes coaching me on my meeting with her.
But I'm not allowing myself to think that it's in the bag by a long shot. I got to do some research online and bone up big time. If y'all can give me one more Karmic push on Monday that will help.

Who obviously could not measure up to Phil Spector's perm recruiter. Or is that perm teaser?
