10 Sept 2014: it's... 2001
« on: September 09, 2014, 09:05:47 PM »
Seriously, we get more '00s sets than '90s. We really oughta hit '04 soon, just in the interest of variety.

I plus-one'd the Cap'n's suggestions of Kylie Minogue ("Can't Get You Out of My Head") and Gorillaz ("Clint Eastwood", aka "I've got sunshine in a bag") and given recent trends I wouldn't be surprised if AL plays either or both.

But I'll probably sit this one out nonetheless. Interesting that we're doing 2001 the day before Sept 11th.  Loudon Wainwright's "No Sure Way to Know" would be a nice set-closer.

RGMike, are you too busy going postal to post? Cake's Short Skirt, Long Jacket is playing as the TOTHK, btw. What does going postal entail exactly?

"I'm like a bird
I'll only fly away"

Nelly Furtado, I'm Like a Bird

Underwhelming so far

SSLJ = quite possibly the LN’est of all 2001 LNs

I’m Like a Bird = Extremely grating song IMO, even more extremely grating version

Funny, I really liked "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" the first 750 times I heard it. Now, yeah, definitely LN.

"I'm Like A Bird" was/is/will be annoying.

I don't know what this third song is. My baby daughter enjoys twiddling the knobs on the radio, and with the low quality of the selections thus far, I'm not inclined to spoil her fun.

It's interesting that, while pre-AAA era sets are now chock full of forgotten AM radio hits, there appears to be no need for that type of song during years after the AAA format had come into bloom. There's already a comfortable groove there for the corporate programmers, so why mess with a good thing?

Coldplay - Shiver: As slow and droning as everything else by them, but I’ll give it a pass for not being one of their overplayed songs.

Travis - Sing: I prefer “Side” (maybe next time?) but this is still worth a BOS

BOS for Travis. Good-sounding band.

All we need now is for Train to be played so that the GS community can go absolutely apeshit.

IMHO, Sing>Side, but they're both good. Definitely indicative of the era.
