Post by: RGMike on January 19, 2012, 09:43:25 PM
backlogged requests? or same old same old.  TP to start indicates the latter.

Hrm.

Maybe she closed down the request lines because IE was too snarky last night  ;)

It ain't gonna happen, but we could get a pretty cool 10@10 out of Johnny Otis, Jimmy Castor and Etta James

Bah, it's 1989.

BOLN, Tom Petty, one of my favorites.  Mike Campbell rules.

Bah, they cut off the end of the guitar solo.

Bah, more niners crap.  I mean, GO NINERS!*

*as a raider fan, I really am trying to be supportive, but it's not coming easy.

OMFG Tone Loc Funky Cold Medina. BOS

ETA: this appears to be a bustout, at least in the AL era.

LN2 (LN1 was TP): Love & Rockets, an uber-'trina for AL '89 sets.

LN3: Mr Aimee Mann. Sheesh, cliff, it's no myth. And no bustout.

WOS: B-52s.  Not as LN-worthy as "Love Shack" woulda been, but close.

Post by: RGMike on January 20, 2012, 10:32:35 AM
BOS2 Roseanne. I can't in good conscience BOS "Eat for 2" but that was a halfway clever segue.

well, it wouldn't be late '80s without the Cure or INXS or REM so -- thank you Robert Smith for defeating Mecha-Streisand!

No Tinita T, or Was/Not Was or Neneh Cherry... again.

I'll give a BOS for Stone Roses. This song is NTM.

Their stuff sounds the same because this is the only song that ever gets played on 10@10!

This set didn't look too bad.  I'll have to catch the replay.

IE was very close with his predictions. (89 and 81)

Tone Loc (an actual pop bustout!) saved it for me, but a few too many LNs for my taste.

01/20/12 - Friday! Runnin' Down a Dream in...1989!!

(Sports: Super Bowl XXIII - 49ers vs. Bengals - It's Montana-to-John Taylor for the game-winning TD with 34 seconds to go!)
 2. Tone Loc - Funky Cold Medina (B.O.S-3 Way Tie!)
(Movie: Batman - Jack Nicholson as The Joker - "You can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs")
 3. Love and Rockets - So Alive
 4. Michael Penn - No Myth
(News: Peter Jennings reporting - The "Velvet Revolution" - Communism is ending in the Czech Republic)
 5. The B-52's - Roam
(TV: Roseanne - The loving Conners family is having dinner together)
 6. 10,000 Maniacs - Eat for Two
 7. Don Henley - The Heart of the Matter

I just "got" the "Dead Poets"-->"Pictures of You" segue.  On the plus side: no FYC!

Methinks if the Niners win we'll hear 82 and 90 in the next two weeks. Of course, 90 comes up every three weeks anyway so that's not saying a lot.

 9. The Cure - Pictures of You (B.O.S. 3 Way Tie!)


Belated LN5 to the Cure tune -- DC played it at 4:30. Honestly, that's just silly.

Radical Ratings: 1989

Good

A
The Cure
Michael Penn

B
Stone Roses
Tone Loc
Don Henley

C
10000 Maniacs
Love & Rockets
B-52s (I'm not sure if it's inherently bland or just sounds this way after hearing it for the 10000th time)
Tom Petty
Rolling Stones

Necessary

A
Tone Loc

B
The Rolling Stones
Stone Roses (Come to think of it, RS>SR or SR>RS would have been clever)

C
Love & Rockets (A perfect example of how a good segue can save a completely unnecessary song.  Funky Cold Medina > this = worth two grades up.)
The Cure (Ditto, with the Dead Poets Society clip.  But really, one of the deeper tracks off of Disintegration would have been even more necessary.)

D
Tom Petty
Michael Penn
10,000 Maniacs (Sigh...I know we've only heard this once before but something as bland as this really shouldn't make more than one appearance)
Don Henley (Likewise...we haven't heard this in awhile, but it didn't really add anything to this set)

F
The B-52s

Jeez!  Such vitriol!  I think the opening 12-string guitar chords to this song are classic, and provide an excellent sense of the wistfulness of the song.

Davefish was quoting (in jest, I assume) the lyrics of an amusingly nasty Mojo Nixon song.
