Title: 16 April 2013: it's... 1986
Post by: RGMike on April 16, 2013, 09:03:16 AM
RR's clue "Brian Boitano won the US *and* the world Figure Skating Championship" Well, could be '86... '87... '88...

"What Would Brian Boitano Do?"

ETA: 10@10 will have a late start thanks to "World Concern"s radio-thon.

and it's '86.  Mr Palmer is addicted to TOTHK.

So I don't get this guy. He keeps your secret for a moment, but since it seems like your sekrit admirer is gonna come back and ask again, he sells you out immediately. Some pal.

Agree. Lyle FTW. Wish he'd hit another stride like he did from 86 to 92. His albums since Joshua Judges Ruth have mostly been snooze-inducing.

thank gawd their catalog is big enuf to avoid Smiths-LNs most days. And I can remember a time when we never heard them, and then a time when Dave played the same 2 of their songs repeatedly ("Ask" and "Panic"), so anything else is gravy.

I find the song to be evocative of film noir, in which getting screwed over by your supposed buddy
is entirely appropriate.

LN5 PG, "RR"

I don't see any occurrences in the DM era, and only two spins by AL.  That doesn't necessarily
mean it isn't LN, but I think it raises the bar to be so designated.

Only two appearances in the DM era, but several during AL's tenure.  I'm too lazy today to
check to see how many of those might be encore sets.

An LN isn't the same as a Katrina.

An LN is a song that gets significant airplay outside of 10@10, that is.

A Katrina is a song with too many 10@10 appearances.

There are some songs that qualify as both.

indeed. I freely admit that my LN bar is quite low, just from listening to all the other 10@10s (see: the Drive and "Dreadlock Holiday"). But we're also talking KFOG/K-FOX/Live 105 regular rotation when we're talking LNs.  And "Red Rain" shows up often enuf on KFOG (in my experience, YMMV) to make it unnecessary for me.

Ah.  I thought a LN was just a FF that had crossed over the line of being played too much,
within the bounds of 10@10.

Despite hardly ever listening to the radio outside of 10@10, I, too, have heard Red Rain a bit in
recent weeks.  Probably post-10@10.  So the LN call seemed reasonable to me, and I was
surprised how little it had actually been played on 10@10.
