15 April 2010: Tax Day? nope, 1990
« on: April 14, 2010, 12:48:09 PM »
Awaiting confirmation from AL, but I've gotta assume we're getting this 10@10 tradition.

the usual suspects, no doubt, but I'm hoping for:

ABBA - "Money Money Money" (how ABBA-centric Dave managed to avoid playing this one remains a mystery)
Spinal Tap - "Gimme Some Money"
Liza Minnelli/Joel Grey - "Money" (from Cabaret)
Monty Python - "Money Song"

and please: instead of "It's Money That Matters" by Randy Newman, substitute his "It's Money That i Love" for a change.


ETA: bummer, AL's FB post indicates the year Mandela was freed and the Niners won the Super Bowl.  I'm quite surprised -- the Money/Tax set was as much a tradition as Pride or the Halloween Spook-Tacular.

Kudos to our lufaphs for requesting Electronic's "Getting Away with It", which I know Gaz and I would both love to hear. Hope AL takes the suggestion.

Update: after Gaz also commented on the Tax day snub (and requested Calloway's "I Wanna Be Rich" for 1990), AL replied:

Hey guys, I'm sorry to disappoint on Tax Day-I just didn't file this year :) Naw, I guess I just thought we could give all those same old $$$ songs a... tax break this year...but let me know if you really miss it and we can do stimulus package refund set soon...umkay? ... and I love your Electronic request, Tim... Calloway would make sense for the 15th, too, JM...and will do another "power pop" set for sure ...Thanks all..you really have the best taste!

BOS to TMBG and the Turks.

The only people who listened to Jane's at my college were spoiled rich kids.

I wish we'd actually heard some Milli Vanilli after that clip.

Smithereens sounding like Smithereens: guilty displeasure.

Hello Jane,


WOS1. Never "got" them. Never will.

WOS2 Smithereens, past their sell-by date.

(and yes, I'm cranky about no Tax set.)

I never tire of telling the story about the music critic for NY Magazine in '90 who reviewed this LP and said "Istanbul" is "easily the silliest song TMBG has ever written" -- she had no idea it was a tune from the 1920s.

I was hoping for Milli Vanilli, too.  dang.

And I agree on Smithereens, I like a couple songs, but the bulk of their stuff is ho-hum for me.  It's his voice.
