holee crap: "Night Nurse", a bit o'reggae, mon. Gregory Isaacs, apparently.  This is a bustout, methinks.

Seems like she's making an effort to come up with some deeper cuts of late. Yes, there's still a few frequent fliers, but the Gregory Isaacs, Stray Cats, and even Men at Work cuts (my god, what am I saying?!?) cuts have not appeared much if at all.

I was lovin' all the clever segues up to the Nightwatch clip...Where's my Clash?

Pretty much agree with all the BOS's & LN's

Whoa, look who just dropped in out of nowhere! How goes it, Mark?

Hey Shray!

Howdy, y'all.

Now that Gaz is back in town, has there been any discussion of a get together?  I would definitely drop in for that as well!

Urth, check my note on Hurricane Carter in the RIP thread.

It seems that way to me as well. I also notice fewer 90's/00's set (in fact she's only done one Y2K+ set after her return, and the 90's don't seem to come up very often at all).

When I have the time (yeah, right), I can look at that a bit more deeply.

EDIT: She's done 12 sets from the 1990's, although they seemed to appear more frequently in her first month.

Perhaps intentionally intended as a joke, given the contrast between the Clash and L&L.

This is the twelfth week of AL 2.0, so twelve '90s sets is an average of one a week, or 20%.
However, if we postulate a big wheel of forty (1964 through 2003), then post-1989 years
comprise 35% of the total and thus 20% does seem low.  However, I have not taken into
account theme sets in this back-of-the-napkin analysis which would change these percentages.

I don't see that many deeper cuts in the sense of bust-outs, even in years where they would
be plentiful.  Otherwise I agree there does seem to be an effort to avoid frequent flyers and
choose tracks that have only appeared a handful of times.
