14 April 2011: it's... 1994
« on: April 13, 2011, 08:04:22 PM »
Amazingly, we haven't hit '94 since December.  I'd've sworn '96 and '99 are more overdue. Get yer licks in -- we're already getting requests for Corrective Soles.

But props to Meredith Santiago for beating me to the Carpenters-covers-CD punch and requesting Shonen Knife, which I heartily seconded. It's looking good for us to hear that one, methinks.

Put my requests in for Cracker, Kate Bush, Smashing Pumpkins, Sass Jordan and Aimee Mann.

I don't think I've heard this song since 1994. It sounds alright today.

BOS "That's Just What You Are," a fitting sentiment in my world today.   ::)

One that was actually a KFOG playlist staple at the time.

VHM REM, "Bang & Blame" -- or as Lisa Carr used to say on Live 105, "here's a song about Alex Bennett's sex life"

VHM "Bang and Blame."  I didn't recognize the Equal clip.

Just got here, what was the TtWS song?  I like them because they are Santa Barbarians like I (& Geoff) used to be.

Kevin Spacey, Swimming with sharks -- relatively obscure, as AL movie clips go.

another *big* KFOG song from that year, NRBQ doing their best John Hiatt imitation.

REM's least annoying song...but still annoying.  Not to mention it's totally an ALtrina by now.

Overheard the first few songs but just got to the computer. VHM Toad -- snoozy but a good album for contemplating the cycle of life, aging, and death. Aimee Mann was NTM, and I liked it.

A "shrug" to REM with their grunge album. Big REM fan but Monster was just one-note and irritating. I like a few songs (Crush with Eyeliner, Strange Currencies) but it's definitely a low point.

Heh, that explains why I thought it was Hiatt.  Anyway, HM.
