Renee's clues: Tonya Harding, Lorena Bobbitt, Menendez brothers - sounds like 1994

Oy.
Predictions: Petty, Springsteen, Melisseridge, Crash Test Dummies, Corrective Soles, Sheryl 'Ho, US3 "Cantaloop".
Wish list: Real McCoy, Ini Kamoze, Prince, Shonen Knife.
(and I'm gonna predict that Rosalie will sit in for RR tomorrow and they'll let her do a '60s set.)

TOTHK - STP "Interstate Love Song"
Last visit to 1994: Jan. 30 (not including the Feb. 11 rerun).
-
an uninspiring start with STP. I never got the love for them, so LN1 and WOS1.
-
Jeebus H Christ on a cracker: Snooze Babbler, "Runaround", an uber-uber-LN2 that's "legal" in both '94 and '95. "perhaps I've grown a little cynical" -- indeed.
-
Blues Traveler "Runaround"
-
I never got the love for Shawshank either, tho' I know it is beloved by many.
-
Toad The Wet Sprocket "Something's Always Wrong"
-
Toad The Wet Sprocket "Something's Always Wrong"
today's "snoozy rarity" -- it may be a bustout, but it's certainly not heard often.
-
Widespread Panic "Airplane"
-

today's "snoozy rarity" -- it may be a bustout, but it's certainly not heard often.
Compared to the Blues Traveler cut, this isn't sounding so bad. It's all about context.
Re: Shawshank, it seems to be on one cable channel or another about three times a week lately. Still haven't watched it.

Snoozy Rarity 2: Widespread Panic, "Airplane"
If Renee played some upbeat pop there'd be widespread panic at Cumulus. Heh.
-
Snoozy Rarity 2: Widespread Panic, "Airplane"
"Snoozy" seems to be DC's stock in trade. If it's sleep-inducing, it gets played.

I'll BOS it, even though this isn't one of their best.
-
Weezer "Undone - The Sweater Song"
-
Weezer "Undone - The Sweater Song"
I'll BOS this just for not being the obvious pick, "Buddy Holly". Still, also rather snoozy.

I bailed early on this set (before it started), but I'll stand up for Shawshank. The storytelling is impressive, the pace and time it takes to move the story forward. I'm not a big King fan, but he can definitely tell a story. And Morgan Freeman's narration, before his voice became just a big ol' cliche, really helps.

Live "Lightning Crashes"

I'd be into watching it, but I just can't put up with sitting through 4 minutes of commercials for every 8 minutes of content. Even DVRing and ffwding gets tedious after awhile.

I don't hate it or anything, but I saw it in a theater at the time and thought it was just OK and a tad overlong. Then it got a slew of Oscar noms and i was like, "WTF?" And since then, as it has played endlessly on cable, it has become everyone-under-40's favorite movie, if IMDB is to be believed.

WOS2 Live -- gawd, I hate this band.
-
Weezer "Undone - The Sweater Song"

I'll agree on the BOS but disagree on its boringness.
-
Hootie actually sound decent to me in this context. I must be getting old. VHM.
-
Hootie and the Blowfish "Hold My Hand"
-

Totally snoozeworthy.
-
blooze you can snooze: WOS3 Crapton.
-
John Mayall Eric Clapton "I'm Tore Down"
-
John Mayall "I'm Tore Down"
wait, this isn't Crapton? Still blooze you can snooze.
OMFG: uber-BOS2 Des'ree, as welcome a bit of pop as I can imagine. AL played this once (it was on my wish-list) and it's nice to see it show up again.
-
Des'ree "You Gotta Be"
-
Jeff Buckley "Hallelujah"
-
Jeff Buckley "Hallelujah"
BOS. An excellent rendition.
-
one of the 3 billion versions of "Hallelujah". ZZZZZZZZ....
seriously, this set has been extremely low-energy.

Oops you're right, it's EC.
-
Ditto, I find Hallelujah overrated and an extraordinarily snoozy ending to an already snoozy set.

and it's a version that just seems to go on... and on...
-
been daydreaming/listening to set, and almost everything seems guitar heavy. Not that there's anything wrong with guitar...
-
never has the phrase "we were doing time" seemed so appropriate.

BOS WSP

Renee sez Jeff Buckley BOS
-
Per Renee: BOS Jeff Buckley; VHM Weezer
-
John Mayall "I'm Tore Down"
wait, this isn't Crapton? Still blooze you can snooze.
Oops you're right, it's EC.
Apparently the KFOG player mis-ID'd it as Mayall. Whoever was posting the list over on GS posted it that way at first too.

So I'm listening to the replay and Hallelujah is winding down, when at about 10:48 it is abruptly
cut off by a Neil Young song. No back-sell... This has happened two or three times in recent months.
Anyway, by the '90s I've stopped listening to a lot of radio or paying much attention to popular music,
so a lot of the stuff is actually new to me. I like the STP song a lot, but I only hear it occasionally so
I don't consider it over-played, although it probably has been. I also like the Des'ree tune, but it
seems to me I've heard it a lot in recent years -- perhaps on store muzak systems. All the rest of
today's set was inoffensive and ultimately forgettable.
-
BTW, I will also defend The Shawshank Redemption as a very good movie and a successful
adaptation of a great King story. Like any good movie, it shouldn't be viewed in eight-minute
segments interrupted by commercials.
I didn't see the movie until '96, when I was working as a contractor at a large, well-known
tech company in Santa Clara. I've done a lot of work on IT contracts, and this place treated
us (and all their other many, many contractors) the worst of any place I've been. It sucked.
I was looking for another position but I wasn't having a lot of luck and it was taking a while.
So I really related to being imprisoned in a hellish situation and sl-o-o-o-w-l-y chipping away
to make an escape.
-
A few defenses for these songs since they're from my college era.
- STP: at the time, the worst overplayed song was Plush. Interstate Love Song was a refreshing change and never got to the level of ubiquity of Plush, which wore out its welcome in a few weeks from hitting the radio.
- Live: I hate the song Lightning Crashes, but have you heard their previous album "Mental Jewelry"? It is much more raw/intense and strikes a weird balance between New Age-y aphorisms and existential questions. Try "Operation Spirit" and "Beauty of Gray".

TANC: there's a Shawshank marathon on AMC tonite.

Just proving what I said earlier:
