Zactly. They'd clearly been listening to some Village Green-era Kinks at this time.

I missed the definition of a "gomer". something to do with "surprise! surprise! surprise!"?

Maybe if we gave surprises a cool nickname...

we'd get more. I think we should call any song or clip that is new
and out of the blue
a "Gomer."
"Surprise, surprise, surprise!"

Another entry for the glossary
-
1993. the year i graduated from high school. 'break it down again' is hitting the spot. probably one of the last casingles i ever purchased.
-
I feel the Proclaimers and Toad the Wet Sprocket approaching. Dare I hope for:
Sade, "No Ordinary Love"
Tina, "I Don't Wanna Fight"
Boy George, "Crying game"
-
I'm glad you bought the cassingle; the rest of the Elemental album was wholly unnecessary (although "Brian Wilson Said" was a great song title).
-
Tina, "I Don't Wanna Fight"
BTW: I see that she's on the AC charts with a song called "Open Arms." Is this a cover of the Journey tune? (And did I ask this already?)
-

that *is* a great title!
another cassingle: zhane
-
another cassingle: zhane
"Hey Katrina-J". Dave musta heard this the one time he went clubbing in '93.
-
another one for songs that quote lyrics from other songs by the same artist. this squeeze song i've never heard before just referenced "coffee...in bed." i'm sure it was black coffee.
-

Sade, "No Ordinary Love"

I fear we'll hear "Fields of Gold"
I wish we'd hear "Informer" by Snow. Guilty pleasure, but haven't heard it in 12 years.
-
another cassingle katrina (and vicarious karaoke favorite): gin blossoms
-
BOS: Gin Blossoms, "Hey Jealousy." One of the best songs of the decade, I'll go out on a limb and say. Will always associate this with my college experience.
-

badoo-doo-dum-dum-dowwww
or whatever he says. i could got for that this morning.

Tina, "I Don't Wanna Fight"
BTW: I see that she's on the AC charts with a song called "Open Arms." Is this a cover of the Journey tune? (And did I ask this already?)
per a Google search, it's a different song.

Yechh. Sorry mshray, but on that we disagree...
I'd much rather hear Oleta Adams.
-
and before I miss the chance, the biggest Katrina of '93 = Haddaway "What Is Love?"
this is also the year of Green Jelly's classic novelty hit "Three Little Pigs". Yeah, like Dave'd ever play that.

not by the hair of his chinnychinchin.

Yeah, '93 was a "lost" year for me musically it seems. I like this Gin Blossom song, though. Fun & pop-y.
-
nooooooooooooooooooo!
no. more. connected.

I'm not saying I need to hear it a bunch of times, but once would be cool.
Now here's a cool song that Dave has turned into a Katrina, "Connected" by Stereo MC's.

Hey, POC: I made CZJ dance, baby. Go check it out in the 'Cool But Not Funny' topic!

Agree on the song but man, did Dave double-clutch the segue from the Squeeze tune into Hey Jealousy or what? Seemed kind of abrupt to me.
-

Well, it is another of Dave's '93 mainstays. But one of the best singles of that year, in retrospect, tho' I didn't really notice at the time.

or in this case, a Cass-trina :D

Oooh, is this a Gomer? Don't know if I've heard Creep on 10at10 before. Too bad not the unedited version.
-
i'm a katrinafest.
why not just play the edited version of this song? instead of the satanic expletive reversal version?
-
Ladies & Gentleman, the UNedited version!
"I wish I was special. So fucking special."
-
I predict Radiohead wins BOS, 'cause they're so gnikcuf special.
Didn't Dave surprise us with Tasmin Archer last time we visited '93?
-

nope, not a gomer. i wish it were the unedited version, too. maybe he can play that one at ten tonight? :)
-
I really like Widespread Panic. Anybody seen 'em? I've love to, someday.
-
Ladies & Gentleman, the UNedited version!
"I wish I was special. So fucking special."
So it's half edited and half unedited? Cause it was censored in the first verse.
-
I may have mention thi sbefore, but in '93 I was living in Taiwan & I had cable that provided me with MTV Japan. When they played this video they (swear-to-God) listed the album as Pabro Honey instead of Pablo Honey.
How's that for reinforcing stereotypes?
-

is that who this is? they sound like a refined april's motel room. amr was a local band on the scene back then.
hmm...we started the set with wp and end with wp (i think this is number ten).

Did they play Pabro Cluise too?

I've seen several times an image of a Japanese import copy of an Eric Clapton album that shows his name as -- yup, Eric Crapton.

Then we should be glad to have missed Wilson Phillips.

I'm pretty sure in the first verse he sings "so very special", and the prfanity only comes later.
-
ok, not ending there.
i don't think i voted yet. so i'll bos the last great thing r.e.m. ever did.

they all sounded reversed to me.
ETA: but now that i think about it, i remember hearing a version with "very" sung in the first verse. that's how i used to cover the song. "very" first and "fucking" next two times.

It's Michael Stipe's advice to straight people: "Try not to breed".

"dare me to breed!"
could we have heard the breeders in this set? i loves me some deal!
-
BOS The Ramones.
-
BOS Ramones/Simpsons.
Isn't this gnikcuf set over YET???
OK, so Dave won't play "I'm Still Standing" in the '80s but he plays THIS Elton song in the annual Pride Set AND in '93?
-
double shot of sir elton's love.

I think these Bernie Taupin lyrics are fairly inscrutable, how come it's a Pride set regular?
There's a breakdown on the runway
And the timeless flights are gone
I'm a year ahead of myself these days
And I'm locomotive strong
My city spread like cannon fire
In a yellow nervous state
I can't cut the ties that bind me
To horoscopes and fate
And I won't break and I won't bend
But someday soon we'll sail away
To innocence and the bitter end
And I won't break and I won't bend
And with the last breath we ever take
We're gonna get back to the simple life again
When we break out of this blindfold
I'm gonna take you from this place
Until we're free from this ball and chain
I'm still hard behind the eight
My city beats like hammered steel
On a shallow cruel rock
If we could walk proud after midnight
We'd never have to stop
-

'cause elton's a big ol 'mo

too right! Cannonball charted #44 this year.
btw, Kim or Kelly? Kelly's much more the ho' apparently,
-
WOS - Elton John and the boring "Simple Life," which wore out its welcome in countless Pride Day sets.

so you're saying it's just Dave's fave from Dame Elton & not otherwise Pride-specific?
I'll buy that.
-

'cause elton's a big ol 'mo
And "All the Girls Love Alice" would be too politically incorrect ('cause she dies)
-
Has been pretty middle-of-the-road--who'd have guessed that the Valentines set would be the best of the week so far?
Thinking we're due for 1967 tomorrow perhaps.

You can absolutely apply those words to my marriage. And even more so to my first serious girlfriend. That's what I meant by inscrutable. Anyone can read what they want into them. Unlike Jill Sobule, for example.
-
Wait, wait wait... Elton John's gay?
(just kidding)

(just kidding)
dontcha remember this bit that Big Rick once did:
"You know when I was a teenager I once asked my mother, 'Is Elton John a homosexual?' and she said, 'No, he's from England.' I didn't know, so I asked, 'Does that mean Uncle John is from England, too?' She told me to go to my room."

Well... OK. Elton's written little that's gay-specific, tho', except for "Alice" which as I said is not considered "positive" at this point. I'm assuming it means something to Dave. What year did his partner die?
-

I'm guessing he was one of the early casualties. Dave talked about him being sick almost as soon as they got here, and that was '82. If you got AIDS circa '82-'83 you probaly didn't live to see '85.
Which just reminds me how much I hate Reagan.

I think that's right. I believe Dave mentioned it on his Aidswalk page last year--82 I think, or maybe 83.
And hating Reagan for that is right, too.
