Title: The Peak, 02/27/07: It's 1990

A rather dull set is enlivened by Soho's Smiths-sampling "Hippychick," which I haven't heard in years, drinking coffee in an insolent mood.

PS: Is it just me or do all Smithereens songs sound pretty much alike?

Ditto on "Hippychick", the one non-Moreyesque track in this set so far. And you're dead-on about the Smithereens -- I like them, their songs (individually) sound great on the radio, but when I saw them live in '89 or '90 I suddenly realized how similar the tunes really were. Guess that's just the way it is, baby.

BOS Simpsons theme. Genius.  And now here's Mr Gabriel shaking your, um, tree.

Was "That Is Why" a single?  To me it's one of the lesser tracks off Bellybutton, so I'm always surprised to hear it on 10@10.  "Baby's Coming Back" is a far better alternative to "The King Is Half-Undressed."

Guess Gaz bailed before Jellyfish's "That is Why" -- if so, proxy BOS.
