1 July 2009: it's...1990

[ggould]

whatever this is sounds like a T Rex mashup or somethin'

you twisting my melon, man.  -- BOS2 this John Congas cover (a nice nod to DM)

Madchester Mania!

BOS #2, and an artist bustout for Happy Mondays.  Yay Annalisa.

[RGMike]

you twisting my melon, man.

translation?

melon = slang for head, skull, cranium.

This is a cover of "He's Gonna Step on You", an obscurity by John Congas that was a Dave fave in '72 or thereabouts.

translation?

A line from the current song, "Step On"

[RGMike]

I'm in the minority here, but IMHO "Wayne's World" (the SNL sketches and subsequent movie) are wildly overrated ripoffs of Bill & Ted.

[RGMike]

Minority again: I never got the love for Black Crowes.

melon I know; who's the artist?

I can see that, but this Skit w Tom Hanks ("Sibilant -- Sibilant") and Aerosmith was certainly a highlight.

Yay for a Depeche Mode song from 1990 that isn't Enjoy the Silence or Policy of Truth! (Not that either of those are bad songs, but...)

Sweet...Happy Mondays.  They remind me of the Soup Dragons.

Not a fan of the Black Crowes either, but at least I don't think I've heard this one before.

The Happy Mondays, one of bands to come out of the Manchester scene in the late 80s/early 90s. See also Stone Roses.

[mshray]

Is this D-Mode?

yup -- possible BOS -- a bustout or a rarity?

At the very least a rarity--Policy of Truth is by far the DM song of choice for '90, although we did hear one called Enjoy The Silence once in 2002. Not sure if that's what this song is or not.

I only heard the last few seconds, which was enough to BOS it. Unless I'm mistaken that was "World In My Eyes", the first track on Violator, from whence the two tracks metioned above. Not only had Dave only played tracks from two of Depeche Mode's first 8 albums*, he never even played "Personal Jesus", which you'd think would be right in his wheelhouse.

*AMG gives 5 of them at least 4 stars.

[radical347]

OMG, is she really playing Social D?!?!?!?

[mshray]

Woo Effing Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Social D RULES!!!

BOS of the week, "Ball & Chain".

[urth]

Now THIS has gotta be a bustout, both artist and song: Social Distortion, Ball & Chain (not to be confused with the one Janis did).
