VHM to Finest Worksong.

Hmmm...  I'm still waiting for ONE song that I like.
If this song had been "Where the Streets have No Name" instead of this one, that would have been it!!

Rich!!!!  Way to go posting appropriately :lol: I like REM's "Finest Work Song".  Does it do it for you?  First good song?

[RGMike]

Did everyone (especially Gaz) hear that "A to Z" promo just now -- note that a snippet of "Ride the Tiger" was in there. Anyone remember if that song was actually played in any past "A to Z"s?

Thanks to all for the B-day wishes! I'm off to Chinatown for a bit o' Dim Sum.

I was curious about Chris Isaak's "Fade Away", and after checking I think it must be true that this is the most common song title in the Pop/Rock catalog.  There are well over 100 different songs with this title in the Allmusic list.  And that doesn't include the 148 occurrences of "Not Fade Away".

Not really...  
I agree it's a good song but I just don't like REM.  I find their music catchy but irritating.   :wink:

Yep, it was song #1217, right between "Rhiannon" & "Riders On The Storm".

Assuming they go at least as long as last year I'll miss 5 days becasue of business travel, which sucks.

Birthday addendum:

Got 2 emails this morning -- first, a KFOG-generated message saying "Happy Birthday, here's your 10@10 Orchestra Leader's baton" (this must be new, never got one before and I've been a registered Foghead forever). And second, a personal email from Dave saying, "sorry, its 1987 today" but promising to play the Barbara Acklin song in a future set.

LOL! That's pretty funny.

But, this indicates to me that Dave is a'lurkin like a gerkin here. Hi, Dave!

(Unless you called to castigate him about playing a 1987 set on yer b-day, RGMike!)

But the real question is: who are all these pickles that are reading our posts, and why don't they every say anything?  

[Gazoo]

Is anyone keeping stats to determine if we've got lurkers in this hizzle?

Actually the email was datestamped 4:30 am today so I don't think our comments here entered into it.  And I didn't call to complain.  I did, however, give him three weeks advance notice, which obviously wasn't enough. :roll:  

I've given up trying to figure out why Dave honors some requests and not others. But I had a swell day anyhoo -- Dim Sum followed by a double mocha in North Beach, then over to the Embarc for that Enron documentary which was awesome. It lays out the whole sordid story quite clearly, and uses music in a way that can only be described as "Moreyesque".

Yeah, but it seems like time is relative when it comes to the speed of light & computers. Half the time AOL tell me people are emailing me at all kindsa crazy hours when I know damn well they ain't.

Anyhoo, glad you had a gastronomical good time yesterday!
