Title: 30 November 2011: It's 1997!
Post by: Big Fingers McGee on November 29, 2011, 07:55:31 PM
Please let us avoid the year's Katrina, "Semi-Charmed Life". We don't really need to hear "How Bizarre" or "Your Woman" anytime soon either. I've requested "Do You Know What I Mean?"

or anything currently in KFOG rotation.

ETA: they played "Semi-Charmed Life" in the 6:00 hour so hopefully we're safe...

But the Mighty Mighty 'Trina-tones is another HUGE katrina in this year. Sheesh.

One day they played "Black Hole Sun" in the 7:00 hour and again on 10@10...

I got nothing against MMB.  We've just heard them way too many times in 10@10, that's all.

ah the *other* big horn-laden ska-revival hit of '97: VHM Reel Big Fish.

and it's a clever enuf t-s; I did it myself on my best-of-'97 mixtape.  RBF was actually my request the first time she played it.

BOS Squirrel Nutters.

Annalisa KFOG is way too into fake ska and the late 90's swing revival for my tastes.

I won't disagree that she is, but in '97 those first 3 songs sounded mighty (mighty) fresh(tones).

wow, everything seems NTM here.

the first three sort of blended into one song, I guess I avoided this stuff back then.

Boom Boom was a refreshing change, HM from me.

This next one sounds like Garbage...?

I'll give another BOS for Elliott Smith, an amazing artist. I thank RadioParadise for introducing him to me. Then of course he ended up dead under weird circumstances.  Sad.

Dude!  Did you listen to the radio in the late 90s?  (I didn't)   :P

I think I was back-filling my rawk CD collection back then, stuff from the 70s etc.  I'm generally about 15 years behind what the kids are listening to.

But I was aware of Morphine, so I'll BOS it.   Super Sex is my fave song of theirs. 

I didn't know about Elliot Smith until he passed away, from a self-inflicted stab wound??  that sounds, uh, suspicious, to say the least.  My SO lurves him, though, so he's on my radar. Def a unique sound.   

But this next song....  hmmm.  I think I heard this at a Menses Fair once.  :)

Grudglingly VHM'ing My Hero.  Listening objectively, this is not a bad song & heavier rock has been oddly absent from this set.  And, at least she went on to one of their other tracks rather than playing Everlong for like the sixth time.

I agree with that.  Not a bad song.  Everlong, for example, would garner an AAACCK! reflex, but this one isn't so bad. -- and I think I like Learn To Fly, too, but I can't think with the Black Keys yelling in my ear.

Alrighty, two votes to rechristen an AL-specific overplayed 10@10 entry as a "Foo".
