The Peak, 6/4/09: 1991
« on: June 04, 2009, 07:10:54 AM »
Rob pulls out a semi-rarity that I remember well: Live, "Pain Lies by the Riverside."  The boys from York did some great stuff early on but lyrically perhaps should have stayed in the shallow water.  Their end-of-'90s stuff was kind of embarrassing.

Smithereens' "Top of the Pops" is NTM.  Musically just like everything else they ever did.

Hrm... this is the 3rd late-'80s/early-'90s set Rob's done in a week. Hope that doesn't indicate a change in focus.

BOS the Carmen Sandiego theme!

I Did Not Know That: Rob says EMF's "Unbelieveable" has a sample of Andrew Dice Clay? I always thought they stole the title from them old Billy Crystal/Christopher Guest bit from SNL.
