25 March 2008: 1989

[urth]

I have a hunch that Annalisa's bonus may make up for this charade, tho'. 

Depends--how do you feel about the Neville Brothers? Not Yellow Moon, but Voodoo, another cut off that album, so there's a plus.

ETA: OK, as I suspected.

for a brief shining second I thought that, since the quiz question involved "Veronica" we might get "My Brave Face"...

What is it Dave has about ignoring Flowers in the Dirt? It's not a bad record, and there are several tracks on it that would be set-worthy, besides just My Brave Face. Figure of Eight particularly, but several others were tuneful and probably his best post-Wings album since Tug of War.

i've never heard this "i will know that i am loved" song. sounds a bit like melissa etheridge.

After hearing tunes 2-10 in the car, I almost didn't want to read this thread because of the scathing comments I expected (& which I was voicing aloud in the car).  Only took a peek to see what y'all thought about the Peter Himmelman.  Once drove across North Dakota, and somewhere in the middle of the state we saw a tree on a hill.  Stopped and took pictures because the 'scenery' was such a contrast to the drudgery on North Dakotan corn & wheat fields.  That's how I felt about "245 Days".
