25 Feb 2016: it's... 1999
« on: February 25, 2016, 08:45:01 AM »
well, when a week goes 92-77-84, I have to assume we're getting '00s or late-'90s today, unless a '60s/early '70s treat is in the offing.

ETA: minutes after I posted the above, someone in snipeland said they heard a promo indicating it's '98 today. Feh.

ETA2: it's '99... the promo apparently said "Clinton impeached" which confused people.

1999

is this a remix of the Old 97s song?

ETA: it was a live version of "Murder (Or A Heart Attack)"

It does sound a little different. But I haven't heard it for a long time. I like it better knowing that it's about his cat getting out of the house.

Sounds like Chrissie Hynde. Reminiscent of "The Night In My Veins," but with much less sex.  I liked the early 80s Pretenders a lot.

You like it because it's completely ripped off from a 70's tune, Suavecito.

Missed everything from the Pretenders song thru the Sugar Ray, which I'm mostly OK with except for the Wilco. What song was it, anyway?
Let's get right to it.

It was "Can't Stand It". Or the "Speaking in Code" song, as I think of it.
