either '60s or '90s... unless RR decides to give us our first 2004 set.
pre-set, we get "Tom's Diner" which is from 1990 so... I dunno what that means.
ETA: it's '91, starting with a "Shiny Happy" LN. I really have no desire to stick around for this.
-
I won't be around for today's set, so take thorough notes!
-
Annnnd...it's '91. REM, Shiny Happy People leads off. Meh. Tally one for the LN category.

we're counting on you, buddy. I've gone back to the Jonathan Schwartz Channel.

I'd attempt to take your place in keeping track of all the tunes, but would have to do so much research on unfamiliar '91 tunes that I would get nothing done otherwise...
Like this track, it's, um, STP? Hell, I don't know.
ETA: Alice in Chains, "Man in the Box".
-
Marc Cohn, "29 Ways"
I'll do fine as long as the Kfog site keeps up... ::)

Good on you for IDing that one Rod. I was going back and forth between AIC and Soundgarden. Some BOS potential there.
Now we've got Marc Cohn and his 29 Ways. Another in the meh column.

#4: U2, Even Better Than The Real Thing.
Did Pepsi ever pick this up for an ad campaign?
-
U2, "Even Better Than the Real Thing"

#4: U2, Even Better Than The Real Thing.
Did Pepsi every pick this up for an ad campaign?
Nice. That would be a cool campaign.
-
Spin Doctors, "Jimmy Olsen's Blues"
I didn't even have to look this one up, I had the cassette.
-
#5 Spin Docs, Jimmy Olson's Blues.
I liked these guys for about a week in '91. At least they did put me off the jam band thing, so for that I'm grateful.

Same here. I was dating a girl back then who WAS Little Miss Can't Be Wrong, so there was an ironic connection. Also, I think I got the cassette in a Columbia House, 10 cassettes for a penny deal. Always a couple of wild cards when trying to come up with number 9 and 10...

Chris Whitley, "Big Sky Country"
zzzzzzzzzz
-
Extreme, "More Than Words"
Guilty pleasure on my part.

Amen to that. Whitley and Marc Cohn are pretty interchangeable. Lucky us, we get both today. Tom Cochrane next?
-
Extreme, "More Than Words"
Guilty pleasure on my part.
At least this isn't one we hear in the regular KFOG rotation much, if at all. DM used to bring this out on occasion, iirc. And since they're cribbing heavily from the Morey playbook, I can't say this is much of a surprise, but I'll still take it over Cohn/Whitley.
-
Tom Petty (sans Heartbreakers, I think), "Kings Highway"
Pretty generic TP, not one of my favorites, though I like him more than most folks on this board.
-
Extreme, "More Than Words"
Guilty pleasure on my part.
I guess I've heard high school kids play this on guitar too many times!

I'm a sucker for a pretty two part harmony with acoustic guitar sometimes. The best example, imo, is "Guinnevere" by Crosby and Nash. Extreme pales by comparison.

Dire Straits, "Heavy Fuel"
Which I mondegreen "heavy leaded fuel".

Money for Nothing redux.

Calling Urth, I've no idea on this one. The KFOG page is no help... "Miss Angeline"?
Kind of like it, though...
ETA: Matthew Sweet, "Evangeline"
-

You'll get no complaints about Petty from me, except the usual kvetch that some of his songs really don't need to be played much anymore. But I think his heart is in the right place; I don't get the idea he's too full of himself.
BOS Matthew Sweet Evangeline, simply for not being Girlfriend (although there are lots of other songs on the Girlfriend album that could do with a little exposure too).
-
BOS, Alice in Chains.
Okay, back to work!
-
Thanks, guys!
I'd've probably BOSed "Evangeline" too. The musical that Berkeley Rep staged a few years ago, based on the songs from that LP (and a few from 100% Fun) was quite, um, sweet.

Nice. That would be a cool campaign.
I want to say Coke did, but in fact it was Virgin Cola who wanted to use it:

Which song got BOS?
-
Annnnd...it's '91. REM, Shiny Happy People leads off. Meh. Tally one for the LN category.
Always liked Kate Pierson's contribution on this track... I wish it was more of a duet.

Does he still tell those long, involved autobiographical stories?

Maybe I'm lucky that I only hear this occasionally on KFOG, but I haven't tired of it and I really
enjoy it a lot. I always turn the volume up.
When I listen to it, it makes me want to be zipping along in an old pickup truck on some long,
straight, rural backroad in the middle of a grand Western landscape, possibly heading to an
important and fruitful appointment.
-
Which song got BOS?
Oh dear.
One of the replacement DJs would mention what took BOS after the PM replay, but Dred never does.
