I have to assume this is a '90s day, in which case see ya later.
-
Clues: Heidi Fleiss busted and John Wayne Bobbitt -- 1993
-
TOTHK - U2 "Stay"
-
Bruce Springsteen "Streets of Philadelphia"
-
Bjork "Human Behaviour"
-
I like tracks 1 & 2, but both are snoozy. Plus Renee is going a little overboard with the AIDS-related song/clips, this is like the 3rd in the last week on 10@10.
-
Bjork "Human Behaviour"
Good tympani in this song, but overall an unpleasant experience. Can't shake the feeling that she's not singing in the same key as the accompaniment.
-
Big Head Todd & The Monsters "Bittersweet"
-
The Story "So Much Mine"
-
The Story "So Much Mine"
NTM, not bad. Very reminiscent of Lisa Loeb.
ETA: I see it's Jonatha Brook. I'm sure I've heard her before, but it's been a while.
-
This is one snoozy rarity I didn't need to hear
-
UB40 "Higher Ground"
-
UB40 "Higher Ground"
More in the snoozy rarity category.
-
The Breeders "Cannonball"
-
Bjork "Human Behaviour"

Bjork Sjucks. Glad I passed on this one.

UB40 "Higher Ground"
This set is taking on a very proto-AAA tone. DC's hand in this is apparent. ZZZZZZzzzzz.

I've already mentioned this a few times, but the obligatory Springsteen track is driving me nuts. I see it as a symptom of the safe approach to 10@10 that has greatly compromised the show. "Everybody loves Bruce!" so they can't go wrong playing him. 10@10 was never edgy per se, but it did take risks relative to the commercial landscape in which it lived. Playing Bruce every time they hit a year in which he released a track is so predictable, it's boring regardless of the song picked.

The Breeders "Cannonball"
Yay! BOS.
-
Tears For Fears "Break It Down Again"
-
The Breeders "Cannonball"
Yay! BOS.
Brief respite there from the AAA stuff, but now we're right back in it.
-
Melissa Etheridge: I'm not the only LN
-
Melissa Etheridge "I'm The Only One"
-
Mick Jagger with Lenny Kravitz covering Bill Withers' "Use Me"
-
Mick Jagger covering Bill Withers' "Use Me"
Wow, I remember KFOG playing that in '93 and not a whole lot since. An interesting rarity.
-
Rarity wise this set was fine. But it lacked a certain 'je ne sais quoi'.
-
Renee sez BOS goes to Tears For Fears.

Indeed, and also true of U2, I'd say. It's like Beatles and/or Stones in '60s sets. Dave used to do it with ELO as well.

So, THAT's why you didn't join the G-snipes. BTW, I agree with you - He's great and all that yada yada yada but frankly I don't need to hear him for about five years.
Also, the "Play Springsteen whenever it applies" can be filed under "pandering".

Queue up the Alanis. If she doesn't do the things you want her to (more in social media, more obscurities, more variety, less repitition) it's pandering, but if she takes your criticism to heart, it's what? Enlightenment?
It's all pandering. That's how you please your audience. That's how you improve ratings.

Yes, the Dave Grohl crush was equally annoying.
