Okay, I can give a BOS to "Six Underground".

I do like this White Town song.  BOS

I'm not listening that much - I'm mostly on the Boardwalk with Mike, so to speak - but I'll BOS White Town.

John Popper can sure play harp.  HM for his extensive harmonica-nerd vest.


Ohh!   Sneaker Pimps!    Big BOS - I saw them open for Beck in 97. It was at the cavernous and acoustically-bereft Henry J Kaiser Aud in Chokeland.

Site of my first concert:  Wham! in '85.  Make it big, ya'lls.  What are they doing to that space these days?

HAHAHAHA! She did the news clip of the Heaven's Gate cult as a segue into Sneaker Pimps. Excellent.

Still doesn't make this all-Alice set acceptable.

I dunno. Haven't been there since.  They should keep dirigibles in there.

HM to Cornershop for their homage to Asha Bhosle's cleavage fun-pillows.  


I LURVE Fatboy Slim's remix so much!!!

btw, Asha will be in town at the Jazz Festival.

well, that's the first thing I'm sorry to be missing -- it was a wish-list request of mine the first time she played it. Whatever happened to Cornershop?

meanwhile on the Boardwalk: Amy Winehouse!

how bizarre, how katrina: another song that's been in (seemingly) every other '97 set.

So, I believe Sugar Ray, Smash Mouth and McLachlan are bustouts, although not necessarily welcome ones (I guess we need a new category, "Unwelcome Bustouts" - we need a better name). I think "Brimful Of Asha" is making its second appearance, but the rest are Katrinas methinks.

Is the Paula Cole song also an unwelcome bustout?  They've played Where Have All the Cowboys Gone before, though.

Most of the rest of this set wasn't too welcome either. :-\
 
Cornershop, but that's it. 

Maybe Sarah McLesbian since this was one of her more interesting and less overexposed hits, although that's a little less welcome now that KFOG has been playing it a lot.

"Most Precarious" is the only Blues Traveler song that doesn't make me want to dig my ears out with a pencil, but it was already played before and once a decade is enough. (But that's better than all the other Blues Traveller songs, which are good for zero per decade.)

I like the White Town song, but it still gets played everywhere so it needs to take a few 1997's off from 10@10 before getting played again.
 Sneaker Pimps is part of the trinity-of-downtempo-alternative-songs-by-female-fronted-bands-that-stations-suddenly-start-playing-when-they-decide-to-start-being-cool-again (meaning we've been hearing it quite alot on KFOG, and Live 105 too because they're starting to swing that way again) and therefore unnecessary for 10@10 purposes.  (The other two are "Sweet Jane" by the Cowboy Junkies and "Fade Into You" by Mazzy Star.)

Of all Foo Fighters songs, why does she have to keep playing the same one over and over again?  This is what...appearance #4 for Everlong.

Amen to all that. This set was like 100% Alice in 1997 or half of 101.3 today (when they're playing "oldies").

"Sweet Jane" was my roommate's make-out song. He'd leave that album on repeat for hours, which meant I'd need to find elsewhere to be. I hate mazzy star.  :)
