30 November 2011: It's 1997!

WOS-whatever, the Foos.

Grudglingly VHM'ing My Hero.  Listening objectively, this is not a bad song & heavier rock has been oddly absent from this set.  And, at least she went on to one of their other tracks rather than playing Everlong for like the sixth time.

I deleted a similar post last night because I thought I was being too bitchy, but here goes again:
"Katrina" should be rechristened "Foo."

Thank gawd that's over. Sorry, AL -- not everybody loves Mr Grohl.

She posted like, 5 Blur videos last night on FB and didn't play any of them.  Blur-tease!

I wondered why that disappeared -- no such thing as "too bitchy" around here, bub.

I agree with that.  Not a bad song.  Everlong, for example, would garner an AAACCK! reflex, but this one isn't so bad. -- and I think I like Learn To Fly, too, but I can't think with the Black Keys yelling in my ear.

They at least woke me up!

The night before video is an almost certain kiss of death for any off the beaten path request.

Ugh, Lisa Loeb & Marcy Playground.  Just shoot me in the face already.
Rad, you really have to get those Christgau Record Guides.  Put them on your Christmas wishlist!  You'd really enjoy them.

I do. He performs live really well.

Alrighty, two votes to rechristen an AL-specific overplayed 10@10 entry as a "Foo".
