26 January 2010: it's 1989
« on: January 26, 2010, 10:04:55 AM »
That's what I'm guessing from the Alarm tune that's leading off anyway--Sold Me Down the River. Can't stay though--got a meeting at 10:30. Here's hoping AL pulls out something better than what we've come to expect from past sets.

yup, we're being sold down the '89 river. I'm astounded to see that our last trip to 1989 was a Morey calssic in October (!) Is that really possible?  Anyway, here's hoping AL makes this dreadful year tolerable. "Seize the day" indeed.

Ooops, spoke too soon -- here's The Call with an uber-Moreytrina.

It's raining and I rode my bike to work today.  I feel like I "Rolled Me Down A River" --

WOS just because of the watery lyrics.

Nope.  The Call gets WOS from me.  I can't stand 'em.  Both this and the Alarm tune were Moreytrinas of the highest order.

Thought I'd see what The Sound in LA is up to, but they taint much better --  they're doing 91 1990:


10:17 - What It Takes  by  Aerosmith  wiki  Buy Now iTunes
10:12 - Jealous Again  by  Black Crowes  wiki  Buy Now iTunes
10:07 - Policy Of Truth  by  Depeceh Mode  wiki  Buy Nw iTunes
10:04 - Joey  by  Concrete Blonde  wiki  Buy Now iTunes
10:03 - Man In The Box  by  Alice In Chains  wiki  Buy Now iTunes

altho the Alice In Chains and perhaps DM are good

BOS Mike/Mechanics. Truly lovely, after all these years it still gets me a bit choked up. Honest sentiment, as opposed to sap. Rare in a pop hit.

methinks that's actually 1990, but I've no desire to hear it either way.

and the board is again painfully slow.

I know a lot of people who are suckers for this M+tM song.  I'm not one of them.  WOS3.
