28 Oct 2010: it's... 1997
« on: October 27, 2010, 09:26:09 PM »
last time we hit this year we were lucky with requests (I got both "Lovefool" AND "Brimful of Asha"). This time I've asked for

Hanson, "MMMBop"
Reel Big Fish, "Sell Out"
Ben Folds Five, "Battle of Who-Could-Care-Less"

ETA: "MMMBop" seems to be getting multiple requests, I'm happy to report.

FYI, here's the last '97 set -- hard to believe it was in mid-August.

Quote
1.  Foo Fighters- Everlong
 2.  Huffamoose- Wait
(TV: Teletubbies-hold hands)
 3.  Cardigans- Lovefool
 4.  U2- Do You Feel Loved?
(News: Local /Mayor Brown new 49r's stadium)
 5.  Portishead- All Mine (BOS!!)
 6.  Beck- The New Pollution
 7.  Third Eye Blind- Semi Charmed Life
 8.  Cornershop- Brimful of Asha
(News of Mother Teresa's passing during Princess Di funeral)
 9.  Widespread Panic- Hope In A Hopeless World
10.  Radiohead- Paranoid Android

at least 3 of the above tunes are being requested again this time. *sigh*

WOS Mighty Mighty BTs, this is a '97 Katrina at this point, and my Reel Big Fish request woulda filled the ska-revival quota in a more interesting way, methinks.

OMG -- here it is!!  BOS "Sell Out". All is forgiven, AL! (these songs appear back-to-back on my best-of'97 mixtape).

VHM to the MMB, although this one (like Song 2) is becoming too much of a Katrina too.

Never could get into this song then, still can't.  WOS Reel Big Fish. (No offense.)  But at least it's not a repeat!

I just checked the archives.

This is trip #4 (from AL) to 1997.

So far we've heard:
Blur 3x  ::)
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones 4x  ::)
Third-Eye Blind 3x  ::)

I'll second that -- I like this song.

Whoa!  Unedited version!

I know we've heard this bluesy thing that sounds like ZZTop before (John Lee Hooker?), perhaps from Ginger if not AL.

That's true, the banjo and the harmonica aren't bad.  But in general it sounds kind of droll to me.  That and I don't like the lyrics, for instance "la la la shame on you" in context doesn't really make sense IMO.
