Request thread just went up.

Request thread just went up.

I requetsed the Smiths "Stop Me If you Think You've Heard..." but it turns out today is Morrissey's birthday, so "Unhappy Birthday" is more likely.

1. Peter Wolf - Come As You Are 

2. The Cure - Why Can't I Be You?

No 1 is certainly not a rarity, but always welcome. And this Cure tune isn't ringing any bells but I won't go so far as to call it a bustout. But a welcome alternative to their usual contributions.

[urth]

3. PSBs - What Have I Done to Deserve This?
4. The Alarm - Rain in the Summertime

Three rarities to varying degrees, and then a big ol' LN.

Sleepy Floyd/Warriors vs. the Lakers >

5. Los Lobos - Come on, Let's Go

Nice shoutout to the W's, but I've heard this song plenty.

More Sleepy > 6. GD - Hell In A Bucket

[Here'sToYa!]

More Sleepy

All right! She found some clips. This is the first request I've had played since AL 1.0. Clip requests count, don't they?

surprisingly rare considering it's the Cure. Comes up in regular KFOG rota often enuf, but only one prev 10@10 appearance -- in the Morey era.

7. Depeche Mode - Strangelove

Where's Peter Sellars?

7. Depeche Mode - Strangelove

Where's Peter Sellars?

I dunno, but I think he wants candy

I dunno, but I think he wants candy 

LOL -- double-edged reference!  (Strangeloves did "I Want Candy" and Peter Sellers starred in both Dr Strangelove and Candy)

[urth]

More Warriors > 8. U2 - Bullet the Blue Sky
9. John Cougar Mellencamp - Check It Out

There've been a few relative rarities this set (Cure, DM, PSBs) but they're all bands I really don't have much love for. As a result, we're 8 9 songs in and I don't have  a pick for BOS. Maybe Peter Wolf if nothing else turns up.

Hahaha, Mike. I'm not quite that clever. I didn't know about the the movie Candy. I'll take credit for the rest of it though

Still more Warriors > 10. Prince - Starfish and Coffee

Woot! I know RGM requested this but I think there were others, too.

Hmmm, does this mean something naughty I ought to know about?

It's been requested many times and I always get +1's when I do.  Will have to listen tonite -- but the rest of this looks pretty underwhelming to me -- kinda surprised she missed a chance to note Morrissey's B-day.

Sign O' the Times is such a great double LP. So many of those are compared unfavorably to The White Album; you often hear "if only they'd cut it down to a single LP it woulda been killer!" (Tusk comes to mind.) But the Prince is just fab.
