Nooo! Not another subpar set!
And that's the way it stayed, with brief glimmers of hope from the Iggy and Billy Idol tunes. At the risk of being the resident naysayer, after the plethora of 80s sets and mediocre song choices we've heard since last week I think there's something going on that we're not privy to. This is NOT the work of the Annalisa we know and love.
Something's definitely going on behind closed doors. Time to write her boss a letter!
and sadly, to most of the FB-fogheads... it makes no nevermind. They were all pleased as punch this morning, from the comments I'm reading.
"We have met the enemy, and he is us".
dudes, it wasn't a complete washout. After all, it had Iggy, Bangles, and Billy Idol.
The biggest offenders were the well-worn songs you hear everywhere: Pretenders, Peter Gabriel, Van Hagar, REM. Each of those songs has fans for very valid reasons, but not exactly new ground. And keep in mind that DM played his share of Robert Cray, despite the general meh-ness about his stuff around here. And to me, the Smithereens are another 'meh' group.
The biggest red flag is the lack of a Facebook request line being opened before today's set. That says 'toe the line, at-will employee,' more than trotting out songs you listen to in your mom jeans.
