8 Nov 2010: it's... 1999

[radical347]

And 'meh' to Macy Gray.  I used to hate this song so much, but I don't think I've heard it in like 8 years, so it gets a pass.  It does seem like a good song to play on 10 @ 10 though.

on this we can agree -- her voice annoys the crap outta me; never understood the love.

Me neither.  Everyone seemed to love it too, it wasn't just the record companies that pushed it to #1.
I got a kick out of her next single though, just because it was self-explanitory: "Why Didn't You Call Me?" :-D

well thank gawd that's over!

I rather enjoyed it, except for Guster, but that one wasn't even that bad.

2 late 90s sets in the span of ~2 weeks.  Loving it!

Macy Gray BOS.... REALLY? C'mon!
I don't share Radical's hate of "Barrel Of A Gun"... if anything I think Guster is sadly underrated.
Yep, Southside is so NOT 1999.
The Pretenders tune is OK, but I really never need to hear it again.
Are Ziggy Marley and Michael Franti the same person? Have you ever seen them in the same room?
For about an hour I had a crush on "The other Sinead".
Len is an ok enough throwaway/guilty pleasure.
Travis had their moments, but this wasn't one of them.
I remember when the Widespread Panic tune was a current, which makes me feel really old.
And Blur is always acceptable.

I had to leave for work midset and am catching the replay.  Had I time I would have strongly defended Guster's song (which I'll always mistitle "4, 3, 2, 1"), a real period piece for me.

But wow, I really listened to Chrissie's lyric on the replay.  Was she dating a junkie at the time?  There's some (not-so-?) coded language in there, but I dunno if/what backstory may be.

The Travis tune sends me back to learning to drive in late '99 in Costa Mesa and the surrounding towns in Orange County.  It was soothing.
