[RGMike]

uber-BOS4 Electronic.  Yay lufaphs!

[Gazoo]

YES!  BOS of the week to "Getting Away With It."

[urth]

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

Smithereens sounding like Smithereens: guilty displeasure.

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.

I dug their first album (Especially for You), but they went downhill quickly after that.

What is succotash? Never wished for it and don't even feel inclined to google it.

I heard this song just last night in the Goodwill Store at Fillmore & Geary!   BOS

in addition to everyday bargains, they feature a good store soundtrack.

It's a mixture of corn and lima beans and, errr, peas?  Something like that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succotash

Succotash (from Narragansett msíckquatash, "boiled corn kernels"[1]) is a food dish consisting primarily of corn and lima beans or other shell beans.[1] Other ingredients may be added including tomatoes[2] and green or sweet red peppers.[3] Because of the relatively inexpensive and more readily available ingredients, the dish was popular during the Great Depression in the United States. It was sometimes cooked in a casserole form, often with a light pie crust on top as in a traditional pot pie. In some parts of the American South, any mixture of vegetables prepared with lima beans and topped with lard or butter is called succotash. Succotash is a traditional dish of many Thanksgiving celebrations in Pennsylvania and other states. In Indiana, Succotash is made with green beans and corn instead of lima beans.

The word succotash is used as part of a catch phrase of the Warner Bros. cartoon cat Sylvester: "Sufferin' succotash!" The depression-era exclamation is said to be a minced oath/euphemism of "Suffering Savior". Daffy Duck also said "Sufferin' succotash!" from time to time and it is also referenced in Deee-Lite's song "Groove is in the Heart" -- "My supperdish, my succotash wish...", also in Alien Ant Farm's song 'Wish' - "Make a wish, make a succotash wish..."

Kind of liking most of this set, as 1990 was a year I have quite specific memories of.

Sonic Youth is the first real BOS though.

"Are you gonna liberate us girls from male white corporate oppression?"

Is this the Sonic Youth referenced on Facebook?  Typically noisy.

their songs sounded good on the radio at the time; stodgy AOR stations could play them and seem like they were playing new bands. It wasn't until I saw them live that I realized how similar all the tunes were.

another band I never really "got".

[Tinka Cat]

actually, it's waaaaay too poppy Sonic Youth.  Still, in the context of what we typically hear on these sets and what gets played normally on radio in general, big BOS.

....but you could head over to a decent eclectic college station and hear more stuff along Sonic Youth lines, which is a good thing.

ZsaZsa goes AC/DC!  LOL!

[Gazoo]

So mean to Zsa Zsa!
