I have to assume it's a '90s day. Wonder if we'll get something Super Bowl themed on Friday, even tho' the Niners aren't in it.
and I'm right. Unfortunately. 1992.
Not sure who this is doing a cover of "making Plans For Nigel" but it's, um, kinda awful.

I'm thinking not. Generally those sets aren't very good anyway. Perhaps our first foray into 2004! (Wouldn't it be funny if we didn't get that until 2015!)

well, no wonder it sucks!

uber-LN Radiohead, "Creep." I think I'll head elsewhere.

well, another relative rarity. But Radiohead and Westerberg were way unnecessary

Seems like I heard this a lot a long time ago, but it sounds nice now.

Missed the first two songs but so far this set hasn't offered anything to bitch about, imo. The Sugar tune gets my BOS so far.

Surprisingly good segue. Rocky reggae song into rappy dance song.

yeah it was played pretty heavily by KFOG that year. I remain astounded that it's not on the playlist at Sharks games, you'd think it would be ideal.

Would Renee borrow anything from my recent '92 set...?
ETA: Guess not

This might be the 1992 representative for the LN Time Sweep.

No rarity by my estimation, but sounding good today nevertheless.
Haven't heard this Tori song in a long while either, but not remembering it as fondly. Meh.

Young Americans into Bruce Springsteen "Human Touch"
Decent song, but yeah, Bruce really missed the E Street Band. Just finished his bio, which stated Springsteen just needed a little (read a decade) time away.

Wow, Renee just kaepernicked on air. ???
(...patting herself on the back for the last four tracks...)

was that a Dave Marsh bio or a real one? ;)

Lennox was an unforgiveably uninspired choice, and there were a couple of frequent fliers, but overall this set turned out surprisingly well.

Peter Carlin, the book came out in the fall.

Funny I was having that same thought. I saw him in Sacto on that tour, which was lacking to say the least. It was obvious that he really needed the E Streeters behind him to provide that solid platform for him to reach the heights he's known for. I was very happy when they came back into the fold in the late 90s; I just wonder what took him so long.
Just curious, which bio were you reading? I've been thinking about picking up the one by Peter Carlin.
ETA: And I see you already answered that question. Must remember: read to the end of the thread.

Yep, I get that an artist might want to record a song or two or possibly even an album without the usual group of cohorts. But you’d think in Bruce’s case he’d recognize pretty quickly how important his bandmates were. My understanding is that he didn’t communicate the desire for independence in the best way possible, which led to a lot of “WTF” feelings.
I still have the book if you would like to borrow it.

Thanks for the offer! I'm heading back to Oregon tomorrow and have a sizable stack of reading awaiting me once I get there, but if I'm back down here in a few months I might hit you up.
Btw, if there are any other Todd Rundgren fans around these confines, I just finished a bio of him called "A Wizard, A True Star" that I enjoyed quite a bit. It has the slightly unique angle of looking at him through his album productions, for other artists as well as himself. So there are lengthy passages on albums he's produced by the New York Dolls, Grand Funk, Meat Loaf, Patty Smith, Cheap Trick, and several others, in addition to his solo work and that with Utopia. It definitely appeals more to his fans than the casual reader, and I liked it quite a bit.

While there were def. some LN's, I'll give this set credit for trying to be interesting.
On an unrelated note, I'm glad that B. McGee brought up the G.S.'s general aversion to facts today. I'm all for difference of opinion (and the GSs are generally respectful of that) but when facts come up against some of their whimsical hypotheses it gets a completely different reaction. It seems to have become more and more noticeable lately. /Rant

Obviously, I hear you loud and clear (and thank you for catching that I wasn't being ironic). Both personally and professionally, aversion to facts by those around me in favor of whimsical 'flavor of the week' thoughts has been a huge issue over the last few years.
