6 April 2011: It's 1990!

[Davefish]

We've heard this "Gumbo" mumbo before but i'm blanking on who it is.

Holy cow orkers, you guys!  It's Little Feat!

Another BOS to Julee Cruise, though a bit snoozy for 10@10 IMO.  Loved Twin Peaks, but then again, it was my first year in college in '90.

'90s Feat ain't really Feat, if ya know whut ah mean.

This was certainly one of the more interesting 1990 sets we've heard, (tho' "damn good" is overstating it).

Hated Twin Peaks; loved the theme. BOS5 Mr Baldamenti and friend.

back in the day, we used to eat lunch at this place on Division near 11th called American Chow.  It had wood panelling, and they played the theme now and then, it really was spooky!

I remember that place.   A little building crammed into an odd-shaped lot ... they had good burgers.  

BOS to Angelo Baldamenti!  Twin Peaks held my attention for a good 10 eps, but then I was like, WTF?! and lost contact.

Oh! I forgot that Iggy & Debby thing was from the Red Hot & Blue Cole Porter compilation, an AIDS fundraising effort.  Lots of good stuff on that. Have You Ever? wasn't my fave from that record, though.

I had that cassette and remember loving the Sinead and Neneh Cherry tunes.

I've got it on CD around here somewhere--I remember digging it quite a bit back in the day, but haven't played it much, probably since before I moved to SF in 98. It's likely among the "various artists" section of our CDs, which are still packed due to a shortage of shelf space here. Someday...

This is from Twin Peaks right? That's a show I've got to see what all the commotion was about.

Worth checking out, but keep your expectations in check, at least initially. It's one of those you really have to dig into deeply to get what it was about. Definitely a product of its time.

Surprised no one commented on the Eno/Cale tune, although iirc, it's not the first time that one's been out of the garage.

apropos of 1990, since I requested (but didn't get) Biz Markie's "Just a Friend"... Gaz posted this on FB: the 1968 song Markie sampled in his goofy hit:

Sounds like you need consultants to come to your place and build CD shelves in strange places!  Oh wait ...
