BOS, Etta James. 

For the most part, a lovely bunch of Katrinas, otherwise.  BKOS, COP.

Not happy with this set. Too many obvious and overplayed songs. The few rareties weren't surprising enough to offset the creeping malaise.

re: Dangerous Liaisons.  I took an intertexuaity class at SF State where we we watched this American movie and read the original French novel (translated).  We might have read the English play, too... I forget.  We did similar things w the Don Juan story (read a text, studied the Don Giovanni opera film directed by Josesh Losey) and Carmen.

   what a great freaking class that was.

no hate for Jane, from me.   if you have to play just two chords on a guitar, this ain't bad.

agreed, esp considering some of the suggestions.  But hey, the Smiths got a BOS vote on FB and they weren't even played!

I definitely heard something Smiths/Morris-ey in there.  I wasn't familiar with it, but it was a nice loud track, so I liked it.

apparently I was on the phone or something, 'cause I missed it. '88 would indicate solo Morrissey, I'm guessing.

update and clarification:  she played the song London from 1988's live Rank album.  she just posted a clip on her FB page.  Glad to know I'm not totally nuts.

I was happy surfing the Katrina Wave until AL picked Jane Says from Nothing's Shocking. Biggest 'Trina-related buzzkill for me since she played the Faces' Stay with Me (maybe not a Katrina, but the only one of their songs that ever gets airplay) over Bad 'n' Ruin on 9/30/11.

BOS Bruce.  VHM When in Rome.  They're still touring.  I saw them a few years ago.  But they weren't very good.  They said (a few years ago) they were working on a new album.  I haven't yet heard anything about it.  I bought their old album at the Tower Records going out of business sale for 50 cents on the last day.  It's not very good.

How many of these get an "F" for necessary? 3? (I'd say 2, 8 and 10 are completely unnec).
