the pattern would indicate a '90s year is due today. Say it isn't so!
In any case, AL completes her 2nd month as mistress of the time warp. And I think we alll agree she's succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.
-

Yup -- 1996. and we're counting blue cars. Tell me all your thoughts on Katrinas.
-
Not too far...yep, you got it--it's 1996...and we're
Driving Counting Blue Cars. Always kinda liked this one, but not BOS material--yet. Would love to hear some Wilco from their superlative Being There record.

I enjoyed this when it came out, especially the harmony in the chorus, but it's pretty solidly in Collective Soul territory now for me. And that's not good.
-
I don't know if Gaz is listening today, but 1996 is when we each moved to SF and became friends that October, so I have lots of specific musical remembrances.
Especially since I'd moved here from Taiwan, where obviously the musical variety was not very good.
I bet Annalisa plays a predominantly Live 105 centric set.

should be a pic of "Slaughterhouse-Five", the movie. Gaz's shocking dis of Vonnegut yesterday inspired me.
BOS Beck's haircut
-
Great improvement over tune 1 with Beck's "Devil's Haircut".
-

For '96 this would qualify. We've only been to '96 four times prior to today, and Counting Blue Cars has turned up twice.
We've also heard Beck twice, but both were Where It's At, not Devil's Haircut. Dodged a bullet there.

BOS Beck's haircut
Seems the image is blocked (just a red x shows for me).
Vonnegut is somewhat depressing, especially S-5. It certainly isn't a happy book.
-
BOS2 LL, "Private Convo"
Doesn't fall into the Live 105 category, but I'll BOS it anyway.
-
BOS2 LL, "Private Convo"
Yay, Lyle! I'm seeing him next week at the Mountain Winery. Always a great show.

OK, now I'm seeing a S-5 movie poster. So either it came unstuck, or you switched to a different image.
-
Vonnegut is somewhat depressing, especially S-5. It certainly isn't a happy book.
But it's an amazing one (and the movie just as, if not more so). So I was taken aback that he would dislike it. Dunno what other KV novels he's read.

Ah, Oasis, with the battlin' Gallagher Bros. BOS3 Wonderwall. Another bustout.
The resident musician at the market yesterday did a nice version of this, along with a whole raft of Lennon/McCartney songs.
-

Hey, I'm going too! I won tix on M3S a couple weeks back. Are you going with the missus?
-
BOS3 Oasis!!!
Now if she'd follow this with the Mike Flowers Pops version:

All right, I'll bite. What's a wonderwall? And is it related to a sugar wall? (As if I knew what that was, though I think I do...)

It was a rather obscure film from the 60s for which George Harrison did the soundtrack, iirc. Never seen it myself.

Yay, Lyle! I'm seeing him next week at the Mountain Winery. Always a great show.
Hey, I'm going too! I won tix on M3S a couple weeks back. Are you going with the missus?
Yup, we're going on Tuesday. If you're going to that show, it might make sense to carpool -- you get all sorts of benefits for having three people in your car -- free drinks, special parking spot...
Check that, free snacks, not free drinks.
-
Oh. God. No. Just say no to Phish.
I like Phish. Fish, too.

I can give "Free" a VHM, but if Annalisa'd played "Prince Caspian" I woulda coughed up a BOS.

Sounds like a plan. I'll call your cell next week to coordinate deets.

"Town Without Pity" -- Brian Setzer?
-
Gene Pitney (songs) still rule on 10at10!
Definitely the BSO, Mike.
-
Whoa, here's a head-turner--and another Bustout, Brian Setzer's big band take on Town Without Pity. BOS 4, just 'cause.
Digging the horn charts on that one--wonder who did the arrangement?
-
So far this has been about 50-50 between 104.5 and 105.3, which was approximatley my listening habit at the time.
-
Sounds like a plan. I'll call your cell next week to coordinate deets.
Is it just you going?
-
Digging today's set so far. Though if I was in a different kind of mood it probably would annoy me. Hard to explain.
Both of the overplayed Hot AC recurrents (Dishwalla and Oasis) are probably my 2 favorite overplayed Hot AC recurrents from that year, so no problem there ;D
Yecch, Phish, especially that one. The Phish news clip was kinda weird too :-\
-
Gene Pitney (songs) still rule on 10at10!

Thought so. A great song -- it was actually nominated for a Best Song Oscar, tho' it has little to do with the rather grim film (of the same name) it was written for.

-
WOS Brian Setzer over Phish. I remember distinctly thinking back then when "Jump Jive N Wail" came out that big band does NOT belong in the 90s. >:(
-
Ha! BOS4 Cake's hipster take on "I Will Survive".
-
VHM Cake's very-much-ironic (like everything they do) take on I Will Survive. I still have trouble getting my head around the fact that John McCrea is now a Big. Rock. Star. I still picture him playing dives and opening for other local bands in various pubs around Sacto.
-
Sounds like a plan. I'll call your cell next week to coordinate deets.
Is it just you going?
Most likely bringing my son, he really wants to go to a concert & I figured this was reasonably appropriate for a 9.5 yr old. And my wife wants me to take him, too.
-
his voice is very slacker-daisical, but I dig the axe.
-
is this Garbage? BOS
-
BOS Garbage! ;D (My other favorite overplayed Hot AC recurrent from this year.)
This was my very second CD (I bought it because I liked "Queer" and "Only Happy When It Rains" and was ecstatic when "Stupid Girl" got released to radio!)
and HM to Cake.
-

He's built his entire career on that.
-
I found those last two interesting as rarities, but not something to get excited about.
I can definitely give Garbage a BOS though.
-
More Live 105-ery: Garbage. No, the band, not a comment on it's quality.
remember when we'd get angry if Dave did a '90s set on a Friday? This one's most entertaining, but then it's far more KITS than KFOG. (KFOG wouldn't discover Cake for several more years.)

Definitely safe for kids. We took ours when they were younger than that; they did get a little antsy by the end. It's fun music.
-
EVERYTHING'S FINE!!!!
-
wow, VHM Tracy Bonham "Mother Mother"
-
EVERYTHING'S FINE!!!!
I didn't know Tracy Bonham went back this far. I really like her more recent stuff. This rocks!
-
WOS Jars Of Right-Wing Christianity.
-
EVERYTHING'S FINE!!!!

BOS, though I've never heard it before.
-
Jars of Clay gets least necessary of set for me, though it is some of the best Christian Rock I've ever heard.
-

Anybody ever see her with the Blue Man Group? This is such a totally cool video, I actually have the DVD this is on.

which is akin to saying " 'Cheez Whiz' is the best processed cheese product I've ever tasted"

Most def kid-safe. Lyle is a very proper Texan, doesn't sing about sex (at least not overtly) and looks askance at pot smoking at his shows.
-
Al Gore's Macarena deletion gets BOS for me. That was funny.

What A/C stations do you listen to that play Oasis and Garbage??
Most of the Hot A/C ones that I know of...I know Alice plays both of those quite a bit, then both of the ones in San Diego did (My 94.1/KSCF 103.7.) And Star 98.7 in LA played them before they flipped to the more alt. '98.7'(Although they're probably still playing them.) I don't listen to Star 101 that much but I wouldn't be surprised if they do either.
The Oasis song was also a fairly big pop hit, and those are notorious for becoming overplayed Hot AC recurrents especially if they're light enough. Hot AC in general didn't play the Garbage song as much when it was out (just the more renegade ones did) but as years went on more and more played it as a recurrent.
-
hearing this set makes me realize I ignored a lot of what was current in 96.
-

LOL. I loved that too. Although I would have to give her props for guts if she actually did play the Macarena.
-

I'll dig out my "best of '96" mixtape tonight for comparison -- the LL and Oasis (and the Mike Flowers cover of "Wonderwall" too) were on it, but not a lot else from this set.

Wow. That was awesome. Gave me goosebumps, really.

Yeah, it never fails to send a chill up my spine, even just now rewatching it on YouTube.
I've watched it literally a hundred times at home, and if I ever need a pick-me-up this usually does the trick.
-
A fine set -- and we avoided Deep Blue Something (I think AL played them in another year recently, but they're "legal" in '96) and Alanis MoreUpset (who is legal in both '95 and '96).
-
playing golf instead of listening to radio; not a bad day to do that for an old fart:
7/31/09 - FRIDAY!!! The not too distant past...1996!
1. Dishwalla - Counting Blue Cars
2. Beck - Devil's New Hair Cut
(Sports: Mariucci new Coach of Cal Bears)
3. Lyle Lovett - Private Conversation
4. Oasis - Wonderwall
(News: Phish Riot at Red Rocks)
5. Phish - Free
6. Brian Setzer Orchestra - Town Without Pity
(Movie: Beavis & Butthead Do America)
7. Cake - I Will Survive
8. Garbage - Stupid Girl (BEST OF SET!!)
9. Tracy Bonham - Mother Mother
10. Jars of Clay - Flood
BONUS TRACK (Chuck in Newark): Luscious Jackson - Naked Eye
-
Vonnegut is somewhat depressing, especially S-5. It certainly isn't a happy book.
But it's an amazing one (and the movie just as, if not more so). So I was taken aback that he would dislike it. Dunno what other KV novels he's read.
The only other KV I've read was Breakfast of Champions, which I found infinitely more depressing. It's not a dis of Vonnegut - he's very good at what he does - it's just not what I needed to read at that particular moment.
Lots of sledgehammers in this set for me, catching on the replay.
-
EVERYTHING'S FINE!!!!

Sorry, WOS from me. Always seemed ham-fisted to me. "Oh, I get it! She's screaming EVERYTHING'S FINE but everything's not fine!!!"
Jars of Clay harmonized well but laid it on a bit thick with the "40 days" thing. You know you can get metaphors from other sources even if you're a Christian rock band, right?

What A/C stations do you listen to that play Oasis and Garbage??
"Wonderwall" might also be the most overdone karaoke song of the '90s - it's tailor-made for people who can't sing. (I say this as a fan of early Oasis, and of the song.)

Never thought about it, but running the melody thru my head I see what you mean. Very simple melody, with a range of about a fifth at most. And hitting the notes does not seem to be a big concern for Mr. Gallagher, so why should any potential karaoke-ers worry about it?

I'll dig out my "best of '96" mixtape tonight for comparison -- the LL and Oasis (and the Mike Flowers cover of "Wonderwall" too) were on it, but not a lot else from this set.
In addition to the above-mentioned, My '96 mix included:
Primitive Radio Gods
Butthole Surfers ("Pepper")
Nada Surf ("Popular")
Local H ("High-Fivin' Motherf---er")
Imperial Teen ("You're One")
Lush ("Ladykillers")
Blur ("Charmless Man")
No Doubt ("Just A Girl", tho' I could've picked any of their hits)
Crapton (yes, really -- "Change the World")
a bunch of alt-country stuff by the likes of Junior Brown and BR5-49
Fugees ("Killing Me Softly")
a couple by the late lamented satrical group The Foremen
and of course the "Macarena", included for posterity, not because I liked it.
-

Care to specify? I was listening to a lot of "y'all-ternative" back then and would be curious to know what caught your attention. Bottle Rockets? Old 97s? Scud Mountain Boys? Backsliders? I liked both of the acts you named back then, but as time passed the novelty side of their acts came more to the fore (see also: Southern Culture on the Skids who made no bones about their tongue-in-cheek side), despite the fact that they could play like mofos.

back then I got my alt-country from Sully Roddy's late lamented Sunday night shows (first on KSAN, then on KNEW). The Mavericks were huge faves, obviously, and Steve Earle. Also:
'95
"8 Feet High", Stacey Dean Campbell
"Hello Cruel World", George Ducas
'96
"A Real Country Song", Dale Watson
"Blue", LeAnne Rimes (yes, her first single, when she was channeling Patsy Cline and Brenda Lee, before she started doing Diane Warren crap)
"Planet of Love", Mandy Barnett
"Corpus Christi Bay", Johnny Rodriguez (from his comeback album, You Can Say That Again, covering the likes of Lucinda Williams, Dave Alvin, and Robert Earle Keen -- a real find if it's still in print)
'97
"Every Kind of Music", Robert Shafer/Don Dixon
"Inner Redneck", Red Meat
"Every River", Kim Richey
"If My Broken Heart Would Ever Mend", Prairie Oyster
"When Losers Rule The World", the Cicadas (a band featiring Rodney Crowell that sounded to my ears like a countrified Rockpile)
"I Still Havent Found What I'm Looking For" (yes, the U2 song, in a bluegrass cover by a woman who sounds a lot like Alison Krauss)
-
BOS Cake, which I think I played at rgMike's "covers party" way back when.
