HM to Chumbawamba, for the most beautiful use of the word "pissing".

What was that dull clip about producing the Oscars?

ETA: I see, Wag the Dog.
it was the last movie to play at the late, great Alhambra theater on upper Polk St., before it closed and became a gym. So it's a fond memory for me, if nothing else.

Is that where the gym is now?  i remember that one... and what was the other one on further down on Polk?  



the Royal theater was on Polk near California. But it was a bit of a fleabag, whereas the Alhambra was a real old-school movie palace.

I'll give them a BOS for being a weird art collective that made a guilty pleasure song

Diana and Mother Theresa in the same year.  AL, please don't play "Candle in the Wind". Thanks.

BOS to Hank Hill, the Everyman Hero, just trying to keep things together.   I used to find King Of The Hill boring, but I've come around: it's a great family show.

well, after a dreadful start, this one really came around -- as often happens in the '90s, the best songs were the Live 105 staples KFOG was ignoring at the time.

1. Big Head Todd & The Monsters- Please Don't Tell Her
 2.  Sister Hazel- All For You
(Movie: Wag The Dog)
 3.  Mark Knopfler- Wag The Dog
 4.  Fiona Apple- Criminal (BOS-tie!)
(Movie: Men In Black)
 5.  OMC- How Bizarre
 6.  Chumbawumba- Tubthumping
(Ad-Give me a break- Kit-Kat)
 7.  Luscious Jackson- Naked Eye
(News: During funeral for Princess Diana, word of Mother Teresa's passing)
 8.  Radiohead- Karma Police
(TV: King Of The Hill)
 9.  Blur- Song 2 (woo-hoo ; )
10. Mighty Mighty Bosstones- The Impression That I Get (BOS-tie!!)

Ack...I missed my alarm and woke up at 11, only to find I missed a 90s set  :-\

Although, looking at the list, there's an awful-lot of deja-vu.  She's only gone to 97 twice before but 7 of these are repeats (including the MMB which is a 3-peat.)  The other ones are Chumbawamba, Luscious Jackson, (VHM & BOS, those two which I'll be sure to tune in at 10 PM for) and Radiohead, which is just overplayed in general..

I'd've sworn the Radiohead was a bustout -- I'll take your word that AL has played it before but it's a rarity for me since it's not a KFOG playlist staple and I haven't listened to Live 105 in ages.  Guess the MMBs are giving the Runaways a, er, run for their money as one of AL's personal Katrinas.
