Was in meetings this morning, but BOS Burning Sensation, a major sledgehammer for me.  (Not the sensation, the song  )

[dischead]

Very "meh" set for me today. Nothing I am hugely repelled by (OK, maybe the Goat) but nothing I can enthusiastically BOS either, save perhaps for the M*A*S*H clip.

Other than not being repelled by Ms. Nicks, this captures my sentiment exactly.

Judging by the frequency counts of my 10@10 recordings, I would place the height
of the New Wave wave somewhere in 1983.  A dart-throwing monkey would be able
to pick a more interesting set, but instead we get this lackluster effort.  Bleagh.

Is there already a thread somewhere to discuss 10@10 issues in general, other than
commenting in the daily set topic?
