Title: 1 Sept 2011: it's... 1993
Post by: RGMike on August 31, 2011, 08:13:53 PM
gee, maybe we'll get 4 Non-Blondes 2 days in a row...

...actually from the looks of things, I think we're destined to hear John Hiatt.  And suggestions for Haddaway, the Proclaimers and Spin Doctors -- sheesh. I suspect my plea for Tina Turner and Robin S will fall on deaf ears.  But I won't be near a radio tomorrow morning to hear anyway.  Keep detailed notes, kiddies!

ETA: someone suggested "anything from Sinatra's Duets" -- if AL goes for that I'll be floored.

I think it's pretty clear for the moment that whatever AL plays, it will be sanitized, and little chance of shocking new revelations.  Today's set was pretty pedestrian compared to the passion unleashed last night during the fb discussion.  Same for the last 60's set we heard.

This too shall pass, one way or another.

Indeed, we'll probably get a set with John Hiatt, Big Head Todd, Chris Isaak, Sting, and perhaps Duran Duran as the pop foray. Still, it doesn't hurt to swing for the fences.

I'm at bat and just requested "Whatta Man" by Salt 'N Pepa as well as The Auteurs.  If she played any of those, it would mean a grand salami in my book!

Jeez, I almost forgot to request something off of "Modern Life Is Rubbish".  <slaps forehead>

I also have to miss this set as I'm working at the preschool today.  That's OK, I can always listen on Sa...nevermind!  Speaking of which, has DC replied to RG's letter?

Hey! Wayne!

Love me some Sir Charles.

He was recently interviewed on "Feherty", the Golf channel's new interview show.  Feherty is a quirky little Irishman, former pro golfer, current analyst on the golf channel and CBS or NBC, I can't remember which.  Mostly he has golfers on (natch), but his Barkley show was entertaining too.  I highly recommend "Feherty" to all, even non-golfers, because he's interesting and funny, and they always talk about more than golf.

No doubt about Hartman. Farley was outstanding as Matt Foley and a few others, but didn't have anywhere near Hartman's range.

Both died within about six months of each other. It was disturbing how much more effort was given to commenorate Farley's life.

Agreed.  Hartman was awesome, the real deal (Bill McNiel).  Farley I could take or leave, depending.

Ditto. I've been trying to find a video of the one where he (Hartman) and his family move into the haunted house, and he's on the phone, saying, "The realtor LIED! The house is NOT fine!" There's just something about the way he delivered that line that makes me crack up just thinking about it.

I clicked with Chris Farley.  Tommy Boy, esp.

He was a creep and a weirdo, and he didn't have a perfect body or soul, but he was so f****** special.

me, too.  I usually hate it when non-Jamaicans try reggae, but they get a pass.

I know there will be some slagging of Izzy and Somewhere Over The Rainbow. (from Mike, that is)  :)

Give Iz props for completely reworking the song to include "Wonderful World," to the point where so many artists these days use the Iz arrangement.  All due respect to Judy, this is a different vibe.  And oh my word yes, Eva!

I know I've done this rant before but Iz's version is the most annoying cover ever. How can you screw up the lyrics to one of the best-known songs in history? To the point where you're making lines that are supposed to rhyme... NOT RHYME??  And nobody in the studio with him that day thought to point it out? Sorry but that's just ridiculous. Very glad I missed this set today -- I would've gone berserk on FB.  >:(

9/1/11-Thursday! The Sounds of "Today" in...1993!!

 1. Smashing Pumpkins- Today
(TV: SNL-Charles Barclay w/Nirvana)
  2. Nirvana- Heart Shaped Box
(TV: SNL-Motivational Speaker on his way)
  3. Lemonheads- Into Your Arms
  4. Soul Asylum- Run Away Train
(TV: SNL-Chris Farley-Van down by the river)
  5. Sheryl Crow- Leaving Las Vegas
  6.Pearl Jam- Elderly Woman Behind the Counter In A Small Town
(TV: SNL-Motivational speech)
  7. Radiohead - Creep
  8. Crash Test Dummies- Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
(News: Pres Clinton's Budget Cuts)
  9.  UB40- Can't Help Falling In Love With You
 10. Israel Kamakawiwo'ole- Somewhere Over The Rainbow (B.O.S!)

ANAL POINTS:

1) It's Runaway Train, we're not telling a train to run away.
2) It's Barkley, not Barclay

What was with the SNL theme?

Last I checked this was supposed to be KFOG's 10@10, not Live 105's 90s @ Noon... ::)

Most unnecessary = Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Soul Asylum, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, Iz K.  (The latter which has been on KFOG an awful lot since DC took over.)  PJ and Radiohead are also tied for WOS.

The other four weren't too necessary either.  :(  I guess I'll give BOS to Sheryl Crow by default, her only song I legitimately like.

AL has had 'themes" running thru a lot of sets lately, and I'm guessing SNL clips are easy to come by. Still, glad I missed this one; as always some of our pop suggestions (Tina, MeatLoaf, Robin S, Tony B and Frank S) would've really helped here.

Then we're at least a minority of two. But I think there are at least one or two others here who like Rufus, too.
