9 June 2009--it's...1993

[mshray]

I just looked up the Sugarcubes bio...you can't make this shit up:

When they hit big with their first album, the lineup was Bjork Gudmundsdottir (vocals), her husband Thor Eldon (guitar), Einar Benediktsson (vocals/guitar), Bragi Olafesson (bass), Siggi Baldursson (drums), Einar Mellax (keyboards).

And then...(per AMG)..."by the time the group recorded its second album, Thor had divorced Björk and married Magga Ornolfsdottir, who became the group's keyboardist after Einar Mellax left. Furthermore, Olafesson divorced his wife — who happened to be the twin sister of Baldursson's wife — and married Benediktsson, making their union the first openly gay marriage in pop music."

Another HM for Cracker, Low. Another one that Dave once played.

BOS #3 Cracker "Low".

...like some junkie cosmonaut.

I'd say today's set is a good example of a bifurcated response.  Some of us dig the songs some of you think suck, and vice versa.

Second half of set doing nicely with Cracker.

It def. sounds like '93, to my ears, but just nothing here that I was enthusiastic about then, or now. Just a requisite level of mediocrity. Which was kinda the problem with the AAA format, then and now.

So it's mostly HMs across the board from me, but nary a BOS in the bunch.

I like BoDeans, so one more BOS.  I think I've mentioned, a childhood friend dated Kurt Neuman for a few years.  She's now a published novelist & teaches Lit at Univ of New Orleans.  She's also gorgeous.

What's her name?

Amanda Boyden (nee Buege...and it was always Amy growing up).  I added a link to her 2nd novel to my earlier post.  Her husband Joseph Boyden is also a published novelist & also teaches lit at UNO.  His first novel was really awesome.

Shoulda come to The Sound: They just did the loooong Ennio Morricone version of Fleetwood Mac's Oh Well.

that's of interest to me; do they do a rebroadcast?

yeah, that's what I get for trying to give AL the benefit of the doubt. She pulled a decent 95 set out for her debut last week but this one seems to be not so much. Hrm.

Yikes.  Bjork.  Points for coloring outside the lines, but I never got her aesthetic.

I am SO glad to hear I'm not alone in that!  And she seems to be a gay fave in my experience so I'm doubly pleased we're in agreement.

Wailing Souls, "Shark Attack," says my media player.  NTM.

Another one that Ginger played, but I see that Dave played it twice as well.

This was a KFOG playlist staple in '93. I remain utterly astounded that they don't play this at Sharks games.
