presumably the "classic" Labor Day set will be Monday.  "Take This Job & Shove It", etc.  I'll be happy if Dave gives us ONE surprise today but I'm expecting The Blow Monkeys.

Eurythmics' Thorn in My Side to lead off--not a bust-out, but not a common one either. It's probably just the sax, but it's reminding me of the Psychedelic Furballs a bit.

This Eurythmics song is not in my Db (sorry, sorting error, we heard this in March), and now here's an R.E.M. song that we haven't heard in just over two years.  Hope Dave is just getting warmed up, as opposed to having already shot his creatve wad for the day.

if this REM isn't a bust-out it's surely a rarity.  BOS2.

Well, two steps forward, one step back: no particular gripe with this Simple Minds tune, just nothing to write home about.

Well, "All the Things She Said" is surely a frequent-flier, I'd wager.

VHM Simple Minds, "All the Things She Said".  One of my favorites in their catalog & while not particularly rare for Dave it's not a Katrina either.  We only get this once or twice per year.

now this BoDeans HAS to be a Katrina. Or a semi-Katrina.

BoDeans is inching further into Katrina territory, but still a song I like.

Like the last tune it's not a rarity, but  somehow don't think we've heard it quite often enough to make it a katrina either. Although it does well in the voting, so I suspect if it's not one yet, it may be eventually.
