So... 1990 on Thursday, and Outside Lands (again) on Friday?

Since I'll be far from a radio on Thursday, it'll probably be 1960  ;)  And I'll surely pass on Y2K.

I'd forgotten about Outside Lands -- another set I'll skip -- this may be the first week (not counting vacations) where I will have not heard all 5 shows.

The groundswell for Outkast is becoming irresistible.
Slipping into something
And out of something else

Hey Mike, I requested Tom Jones' "Sexbomb" just for you, and, wouldn't you know it,
AL posted a YouTube clip of it -- could she possibly play it tomorrow??

I won't be around for the live broadcast, so whoever is around take notes!

As I've said before , it's the go-to "hip, out-of-format" song of the early '00s, so it would not be a surprise at all.

Alabama 3, Woke Up This Morning

This has been TOTHK before, I'm pretty sure.

sorry, missed the opening.  Everclear (?) sampling "Mr Big Stuff".

Not the worst choice for that role, but it's entered FF territory, if not Katrina-land.

So far:

A3, Woke Up This Morning
Everclear, AM Radio

Oh and the set led off with an election night clip of Dan Rather "hotter than a Laredo parking lot."

"AM Radio", I'm assuming. Something of a guilty pleasure for me.

Conan O'Brien - the election drags on --> BNLs or perhaps they should be called the BLNs. "Pinch Me"

I think that of all the AAA/HAC acts of the late 90's/early 00's that I tolerated at the time, this group's output has aged the least well.
