sheesh. Starting with the predictable Crowded House, "Sister Katrina"

But BOS to Bobby B, "My Perogative", before he discovered Prep H and "doodie bubbles".

Yikes, WOS Cheap Trick, "the Flame". More evidence that Diane Warren is the Antichrist.

So, I'm not hating '88 as much as I thought I would today.

Oh... maybe I spoke too soon...
nakes? On my plane?

There was a promo for today's set running over the weekend, but so far this is way below the quality of the sets we had the last 10 days or so.

Oh. My. GOD! it's.... DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPP!!!

Just one breakout would satisfy me at this point... another Prince tune, perhaps? "Alphabet St" qualifies.  Or better yet, Rick Astley!

Was that Church tune a bust-out? I don't recall hearing it before, but somehow I think maybe you were hoping for better.

BOAVMS = REM

(best of a very mediocre set)

Midnight Katrina. OK, I realize it's Monday, I'll cut Dave some slack in anticipation of a FAB "Atlantic Records Lovefest" tomorrow.

But that doesn't mean I'm enjoying today.

I'd settle for stuff that was big in the day, like Erasure, George Michael, or...

Hey it's Robyn Hitchcock!  That's more like it.

Did you guys know that he had a small but vital role in the remade Manchurian Candidate?

Yep, pretty sure that was me.  At least, I thought the same thing this time.  BOS for Robyn Hitchcock!

Can you believe the Bangles turned this song down?

OK I guess I'm satisfied with this breakout. I'll be quiet now.
