6 Nov 2009: it's 1990

[urth]

And that's 10K.

Woo Hoo!

Man, you're quick with those! But thankya, thankya verramuch!


TANC: I just looked back at the setlist from the date when The Emperor's New Clothes first appeared. That day it was followed by The King Is Half Undressed just like today. Can't argue with a good segue, though.

[RGMike]

damn good coffee;


highly overrated TV show.

and TMBG has an uber-Trina.

[urth]

One more K to finish the day: Birdhouse in Your Soul, TMBG.

[urth]

OK, one more. Not a K, but it plays one on the radio: Indigo Goils, Hammer and a Nail.

[RGMike]

VHM Indigos.

[RGMike]

yikes, aren't we done yet?

[urth]

yikes, aren't we done yet?

That's what I thought, too, but I'll take Social D. any day. Not in the DB, but I wanna say AL played Ball and Chain in one of her previous forays to the 90s.

[RGMike]

hammer & nail... ball & chain...



Not an unpleasant set, but almost entirely Moreycentric.  What is it about the '90s that stymies all 10@10 hosts?

We def heard this within the last 4-5 months.

Yep, AL played it on July 1, which was probably her first visit to '90. That set's TOTHK was the same World Party tune that today's led with. Hrm.

ETA: And that day's bonus track was Emperor's New Clothes. Now I like all of those songs, so can't complaint too much, but I'm just sayin'.

well, she's a newlywed, so she's busy doing... other stuff     But a little mindless pop-chart stuff would help these '90s excursions. Janet Jackson, Lisa Stansfield, Maxi Priest, Prince...

I think I may "Disappear" if AL doesn't shake things up a bit.

If it makes you feel any better, Disappear has only one previous appearance in the DB. It's all those other plays during the other 22 hours of the day that makes it *seem* like a K.

I'm pretty sure I remember Annalisa playing Disappear before in either a 1990 or 1991 set...but I have never heard it at all during the other 22 hours on KFOG (though they play plenty of other INXS songs all the time).  It gets BOS1 from me.

...and BOSs 2, 3, 4 and 5 go to Murphy, Hiatt, O'Connor, and TMBG.

1990, that's more like it.  True it was a bit very Morey-esque but I've waited 4 weeks for a 90s set so I'll take it, even tho this one barely qualifies.  I know 60s and 70s seem to be more popular around here, but seriously it's been a month and that's ridiculous...I mean, I wouldn't even wish a month with no 70s sets on any of you!

As Bill Clinton used to say, "Ah feel your pain!"  And tho' I wish such sets were more well-rounded, pop-wise, I completely agree that the lack of '90s sets is odd; we seem to have gone in the opposite direction, demographically (since everyone usually chases after younger listeners) and I can't help thinking the arrival of 103.7 The Band  has something to do with it. This morning around 6 they played EJ's "Daniel" and Aerosmith's "Dream On" back-to-back -- 2 '70s cuts in a row is something they used to avoid doing.
