16 Oct 2014: it's... 1997!

9. BFF, Battle of Who Could Care Less

wow -- this one's a bustout that I requested multiple times in the past. Kudos and BOS2.  I think Cap'n Jack may have requested this last nite.  The Cure tune is a bustout too, methinks.

Yes, I did request BFF.

Interestingly, this makes the 8th song from my 1997 wish-list to actually get played, which I think is the most in any year. Who'd'a thunk?

I'll give a BOS for Cornershop, though this song strikes me as kind of dull today.

For a peppier version, check out Fatboy Slim's remix.  It's like having your nads dipped into liquid cocaine!

Eh . . . maybe liquid NoDoz

pointless request:

Imani Coppola - Legend of a Cowgirl

I think I've requested that in the past. For what it is, not half bad.

Well, it's the MTV hit.  Based on that and a brief clip of her performing on one of those PBS concert
shows, I bought the CD.  I really like about half of it, and the rest has not made an impression
on me one way or the other.

Which reminds me... AL has played 4 of my requests this month (one from '96; two (!) from '88; and one from '97) -- hmmm, AL's taking my requests from late '80s / '90s.
