6 July 2011: it's... 1997
« on: July 06, 2011, 07:38:13 AM »
the promo says "the year we said hello to Dolly the Sheep (born 1996) and goodbye to a beloved Princess" (Diana died in '97). So, er...

ETA: OK, Wiki says Dolly's existence was "announced to the public in 1997".

yup.  it was in all the papers ;)

This is the year I've gotten the most requests played in, amazingly: Cardigans, Cornershop, Reel Big Fish, Space, White Town (all Live 105 songs that KFOG ignored in '97). Hoping for Hanson; expecting frequent-fliers like Chumbawumba.  Please, AL: no "Candle in the Wind" remake.

'97 is kind of an odd year for 10@10s... it seems as if there is something of a gap in KFOG's catalog, so we don't get a lot of the usual snoozers to drag down the set. But yeah, we don't need to hear Elton.

Here's hoping for "Electric Barbarella" or "D'Ya Know What I Mean?"

early WOS: 3rd Eye Blind. Wish I was 3rd Ear Deaf.

WOS2 "Most Precarious", which this set certainly is, so far.

it could be worse, like Blues Traveler, perhaps?     And props to Stephan Jenkins for getting Charlize Theron.

I second the 3rd Ear Deaf, but I'm enjoying the BT tune - haven't heard it in ages.

I can never remember the names of these bands. This is all Friends music to me.
