Title: 12 July 2013: it's... 1988
Post by: RGMike on July 12, 2013, 09:16:12 AM
"The year of Milli Vanilli" sez RR.

Jeebus: '93, '94, '93 again and now '89 in the course of 8 days??

ETA: as I noted on FB, if she actually *played* Milli Vanilli I'd be pleased. But I'm not holding my breath.

Of the many criticisms of Renee, this is one of the most valid  - it appears she wikis when an album came out or something, without any regard for context. December 31, 1988: None of us had heard of Milli Vanilli

I adore Steve Earle, but we've heard "Copperhead Road" many times over the years, as great a song as it is.  Lots of other good tunes on this LP: "The Devil's Right Hand" woulda made my day.

early Melisseridge. In retrospect, the use of non-gender-specific words and pronouns shoulda been a major clue here.

Renee's just a pawn in Cumulus' game. You don't know how hard it is being a woman sucking like she does.

But the Jessica Rabbit --> "Simply Irresistable" segue was kinda sorta cute.

Chart action aside, these songs without exception were getting airplay on the FM stations I was listening to in 88/89.  Authentic yes, but I would not call any of these a deep track.

All too true. 5, 7, 8 and 9 were all Top Ten on the pop charts, whereas the rest fall into the LN category. I would agree that this was a pretty shitty set.

What a let-down the past week was... I didn't care much for any of the sets.  Even Wednesday's
1973 was tepid and I found most items to be LN.  And the two 1993 sets within days and
sharing a couple of songs to boot -- inexcusable.  All this mediocrity after some encouragingly
good '60s outings and an apparent change for the better was disappointing.

Agreed -- a very odd turnabout.  This week will tell the tale, methinks.
