16 Oct 2014: it's... 1997!

BOS for the Cure (never thought I'd say that), but I've never heard this "Wrong Number" song, and it's not wimpy.

What's the simulcast of which you speak?

K-Fox, which is 98.5 in San Jose, had a SF simulcast on 102.1 for a couple of years -- the owners thought they were gonna give The Bone a run for their money, and that's why they hired AL when they did. But they gave up on that and it's now some sort of urban Top 40 thing. So their SF audience should've gone somewhere else but nobody can figure out why KFOG and the Bone didn't pick up listeners.

7. The Cure, Wrong Number
8. Stones, Anybody Seen My BabyzzzzzZZZZZZ

is that the "Constant Craving" one? all '90s Stones are a big blur to me.

9. BFF, Battle of Who Could Care Less

That's the one. ZZZZ song.

I'll give a BOS for Ben Folds and his 4 (not really) friends. Nice tie-in back to the Cure song.

Yep. Bridges to Babylon was possibly the most underwhelming Stones album ever.

wow -- this one's a bustout that I requested multiple times in the past. Kudos and BOS2.  I think Cap'n Jack may have requested this last nite.  The Cure tune is a bustout too, methinks.

10. Cardigans, Lovefool.

Other than the Cornershop and BFF, kinda meh.

yeah, it seems  to be the template now: 7 or 8 uninspired tunes and 2 or 3 bustout/rarities.

[urth]

5. ?? (spaced out, missed it)
6. Radiohead, Karma Police

Oh, and #5 was Lisa Loeb, I Do (I think).

[Tinka Cat]

I'll give a BOS for Cornershop, though this song strikes me as kind of dull today.

For a peppier version, check out Fatboy Slim's remix.  It's like having your nads dipped into liquid cocaine!

And despite its being the #1 FF in 1997 sets.... the Bosstones' tune wins BOS, in a tie with Cornershop. (Per AL on FB)

Yes, I did request BFF.

BOS to this
VHM to Cornershop
HM to the Stones (I would say it's only tangentially similar to "Constant Craving".
