Well alright then. INXS is getting a new sensation.

Wow, the last time went to 1988 was all the way back on April Fool's Day.

WTF!?

[RGMike]

OK this is really getting ridiculous -- we got '92 twice on 10 days, and now '88 twice in less than a week. Who's keeping score over there? jeez.  I'm off to 'LNG or someplace more pleasurable.

and The Sound is playign album sides, so no alternative.

Holy Toledo, he just sucked all the energy out of this set with the lackadaisical Sweet Jane.  I've never gotten into this version.

Bummer. How quickly we got spoiled by having an out.

This set is from 12/13/2006, and tune #3 is worth sticking around for, but after that it's a Katrina fest.

I'd speak up for tunes 7 and 9 as being worth a listen, but yeah, you're right about the rest of it. All the usual suspects.

I was gonna proxy you on "Get Started (Start a Fire)" if you hadn't posted.

their "just played" feature says otherwise -- looks like 1985 to me. (their album-sides feature is the first Wednesday, methinks)

absolutely agree.  the junkies were in nodding-off mode when they laid this one down.

Hi there,

I'm a longtime Foghead and a longtime 10@10 fan... I totally understand that we're getting "classics" for an indefinite period while Dave regroups in Michigan. But seriously -- who's keeping track of what's getting played every day? Today we're getting our second 1988 set in less than a week. Friday we got our second 1992 set in 10 days.  Surely it's not that hard to keep an eye on these things so that there's a bit more... balance?  There are enough years on "the Big Wheel" (and enough sets in the database) to keep this from happening, don'cha think?  We love you guys (and BTW Webster's been doing a fine job in the Morning) but this is getting a little frustrating.  Thanks for anything you can do to alleviate the problem!

And two of the songs in today's set were Nos. 1 and 2 in last week's. Atrocious continuity. If playing the same year twice in a week weren't bad enough.

They did a March Madness album compettition & The Beatles White Album won.  I clicked on their player every few minutes, and it alwasy gave the same message.  But it finally began to play the 10@10 set a few minutes ago.  In time for the Firm & now the Smiths.

I'll be anxious to hear what sort of response you get, if any.
