BOS for Spoon. NTM, and much older than I thought they were.

Channeling a little bit of "Reeling in the Years" there.

BOS2 Spoon.

Incubus - Drive: Nearly as LN as Cake. DDR’s suggestion “Nice to Know You” would have been much better.

Incubus - Drive

This is a new low. The machines are in control.

Yup, even "Wish You Were Here" would've been a tremenously more necessary play. Speaking of which, J-Lo's "Play" would be most welcome.

Ha, I forgot about Play! I agree that would be a good 10@10 song.

My favorite 'remix' of that song was on Rick Dees - "Play my mother's favorite song", LOL

REM, Sugarcane (?)

Coincidentally, I'm seeing a few members of REM and their touring band (Mike Mills, Scott McCaughey for sure, maybe Peter Buck) tonight with the Baseball Project.

"Imitation of Life"

What was that clip?

Is this Enya?

Enya - Only Time: Not the best choice with only two spaces left but I have to grudgingly give it a pass.

Tell me if you think I'm overstating, but I think this might be the worst 10 at 10 of all time. Other ones I remember getting very negative reviews are Renee's first outing, 1968, and a Giants Opening Day (or world series win?) set.

Wow, incentive to listen to the replay on Soundcloud!  ;D

Well, I'm not particularly offended by this one, with at least three songs I've never heard before: Spoon, Enya and this Eyes Wide song. Some boring stuff, but not bad.

While this wasn't great, I think that's overstating things a bit. We did get Travis and lesser-played Coldplay/REM. Plus we avoided Train, but managed to include Spoon.

I think the dishonor for worst set might be a theme set (for the most part those are subpar IMHO anyway).

Is it me or does AL sound a little less engaged than usual during the backsell?

All right, it was probably an overstatement in the heat of the moment. I'll retract it and say instead

That set really, really sucked.
