9 Aug 2011: it's... 1996
« on: August 08, 2011, 08:12:43 PM »
can't remember the last time AL did '96 *and* solicited suggestions.  Here's hoping this set don't suck.  Giter Dunn beat me to a Butthole Surfers request!

OTOH, someone wants DMB and Matchbox 20. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I was tempted to suggest a London riots set. "Guns of Brixton", "Ghost Town", etc.

ETA: one of the '96 requests is the Brian Setzer cover of "Rumble in Brighton". Hmmm...

but for the first time I'm in agreement with Silly Foghead: he requested Brooks & Dunn's cover of "My Maria"

I should have requested Leah Andreone's "It's Alright, It's O.K."

BOS1 Cake. One of the better examples of covers-that-reinvent-the-song.

"1979" is probably my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song, but I think I've heard it enough for the next few years.

SmashPumps "1979" is way too "regular KFOG rotation" for me. Sorry.

Beck, "Devil's haircut". He's trying a little too hard on this one but VHM.

I'm very thankful for Devil's Haircut and not Where It's At.

WOS to this swing band throwback. Straycats, whoever, deserve no credit for reviving but not innovating rockabilly.

WOS Crapton. If I could change the world, I'd not kill 10@10 momentum in the middle of the set. If we have to listen to it, why isn't this song a closer instead of smack dab in the middle?

VHM Clapton -- yeah, you read that right.  Always liked this song -- you should check out Wynonna Judd's version
