Let's see how AL does with what is traditionally one of the most-dreaded years on the wheel in the computer.

From the Daily Show, "This Week in God", I believe.

This Week in God, as I recall, a old Daily Show schtick that Colbert used to do.  But my memory is a little suspect.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict that AL gives us either "Buffalo Stance" or "Batdance," either of which would make my morning.  (Yeah, it's 1 pm here, but since I just woke up, I'll call it morning.)

Just noticed that "Replacements-Achin' to Be" was listed in the "now playing" window on the old-school KFOG player, which never happened during Dave's tenure. Which tells me that Annalisa's playing stuff that's saved on their server, where I think Dave was spinning CDs (and vinyl) manually, without using the technology.

ETA: And the "upcoming song" field just told me what she was gonna play next. Not sure I like that part of it.

Except it was wrong! It's saying Dylan's Everything is Broken is next, and we got Smithereens.

And this Petty cut is a Bustout, perhaps even an ATBB.

Ha! -- the Neneh Cherry was the first song that leapt to mind when i heard the year. I'd settle for "Walk the Dinosaur" and an avoidance of FYC.

so it's like the Sound's deal (or Ginger's).  As Ray Stevens so eloquently put it: "DON'T LOOK, ETHEL!"

Replacements. During their salad days in Minneapolis, they were jokingly referred to as the 'Placemats' which got shortened to 'Mats by the cognoscenti.

Dave always played "A Girl Like You" in 1990, and now that I've checked, Annalisa's right & he was wrong.  Album & single both released & peaked in '89.
