8 March 2012: it's... 1990
« on: March 07, 2012, 09:52:43 PM »
I suspect I.E. Tim's prediction of 2002 may be dead-on.  But it's also Int'l Women's Day and 10 songs by/about women would sure be swell.

ETA: well, it's 1990 instead. Meh.

If my eyes aren't failing me, we haven't had a 2000+ 10@10 since 1/25's 2001. I wonder if the "braintrust" realized those sets were too recent.

I'm sticking with 2NG -- this 1975 chart is full of OMGWTF oddities and rarities  (Telly Savalas at #1, covering Bread's "If" -- I kid you not).  Let me know if one of our requests gets played, kids.

There are many positive aspects of the recording of Suicide Blonde, but I'd always found it grating.

The song that made AB block me on FB! I minus oned his request for that and apparently he took it extremely personally.

Mind you, I like the song, but yeah, LN.

Lol.
In general I don't love UB40, but afaik this one has only one previous spin, not quite an LN.

Though by this point, LN's have becoming such a recurring theme that they're almost not worth mentioning anymore.

I'm assuming the UB40 in question is "The Way You Do The Things You Do". Yeah, maybe not technically an LN, more of a "HN" (hardly necessary). The definition might be "not overly played, but doesn't really add anything".
