Bleah.  Awful set.  David and David can't save it.  And this isn't good either.  Was that the Call with Everywhere I Everywhere I Everywhere I Everywhere I Everywhere I Yawn?


And The Goat gets the popular BOS vote? That just proves your point, I think.

(And yes, that was the Call. No love lost here.)

yes it was.  I decided by about tune #4 that I have to look at this as a HFH set, and enjoy thinking about how good all the other music out htere is in comparison to this schlock.

Yikes! the Goat wins BOS.  Way to go Fogheads!

A very subdued back-announce as well.  I think Dave knows that this is a sucky year.  At least we had a couple of nice segues.


Goat-BOS Jinx!!!

 I think he knows it was a sucky set. But there are a number of decent tunes (particularly on the pop side) that he doesn't bother with, that would've at least livened things up:

Daryl Hall, "Dreamtime"
OMD, "Forever Live & Die"
Simply Red "Money$ Too Tight"
Prince, "Kiss", "Mountains"
Janet Jackson, any of her hits from that year
Anita Baker, "Sweet Love"
Baltimora, "Tarzan Boy" (OK, cheezy, but a personal fave)
Madonna, "Live to Tell", "True Blue"
Nu Shooz, "I Can't Wait"

Katrissionary Man.


This would actually be my BOS to this point, damning with faint praise, but it's surprisingly not a Katrina.  Dave has only played this twice in the preceeding 14 months & not at all in the 11 months before that.


another case of "KFOG plays it so much in regular rotation that it seems like a Katrina".


Precisely.  To further the point, care to guess how many times Dave has played "Sledgehammer" in the past 26 months?


And the answer is???  Never.  

In fact as far as my archive can tell this was a bustout for "Sledgehammer'"
