11 Aug 2009: it's... 1995

[urth]

Missed another set that I probably would have liked. The repair guys from Verizon showed up at 9:45 to fix some noise on our line, and pretty much killed our internet until the set was just about over--timing is everything.

I'd have BOS'd the Wilco, Weezer and probably the Pulp tunes. VHM for the Neil--that was off the Mirror Ball record he did with Pearl Jam as his backing band. Not a terribly great album. Dave played the Wilco tune twice previously, but once was in a 94 set, which was the incorrect year.

1.  Neil Young - Downtown
   2.  Everclear - Santa Monica
(News:  Connie & Dan break up on CBS News)
   3.  Annie Lennox - Train in Vain
   4.  PJ Harvey - Down By the Water
(X Files wins at the Golden Globes)
   5.  Live - Lightning Crashes
   6.  Finn Brothers - Only Talking Sense (BEST OF SET!!)
(Movie:  Stuart Smalley Saves His Family)
   7.  Weezer - Say it Ain't So
   8.  Wilco - Box Full of Letters
   9.  Pulp - Common People (BEST OF SET!!)
 10.  Chris Isaak - Goin' Nowhere

BONUS TRACK (Robert in Emeryville):  REM - Bang & Blame

Kudos on the Bonus, which Lisa Carr on Live 105 used to call "that song about Alex Bennett's sex life"

BTW, I'm gonna predict '70s tomorrow, that missing '88 set on Thurs and we already know about Woodstock Friday.

BOS - tie between Everclear and REM.

I honestly had no idea Connie Chung was on CBS News. They deserved whatever grief they received.

BOS4 Pulp, "Common People"

I got this tape in Bangkok too, but haven't listened to Pulp in a loooooong time.

the gf/finace is a Pulp/Jarvis Cocker fan, but I don't really know them that well: they don't get played that much in our household.  But I like this... maybe I'll dig out her CDs and give 'em a rip.

Long-after-the-fact BOS vote from me.  They had three outstanding albums -  Different Class, This Is Hardcore, and We Love Life.  The latter two are oft depressing, though.
