Title: 16 July 2013: it's... 1997
Post by: RGMike on July 16, 2013, 07:45:51 AM
The year Web MD went online, sez Nay-Nay. Wiki says that year is '96 but with Renee all things are possible.

ETA: of COURSE Renee knows better than Wikipedia. It's 1997!

TOTHK: Meredith Brooks, "Bitch", beyotches!

'97, right on target. More or less.

Meanwhile, life is a bitch. And so's Meredith Brooks.

Oy vey: WOS Aqua, "Barbie Girl", but still, it's a non-KFOG pop record so that's a good sign IMHO.

Damn, I was hoping this was just a between-song clip. Def. a Hits from Hell candidate.

In the same category as "Ice, Ice Baby" to be sure, but I'll take it over a typical 1997 AAA snoozer.

The Sound is doing '82 -- given their penchant for AOR dreck (Asia etc) that's not an alternative, IMHO.

indeed -- gives me hope that we might hear "MMMBop" at some point.   If we can just avoid Chumbawumba and the Bosstones today...

And "Semi-Charmed Life". Which means we'll get "Fly" and "Walkin' On The Sun"  :P

Still, no AAA snoozers yet.... as unnecessary as Chumbawumba may be (and they did have another hit which we'll never ever hear).

hehe, but it certainly evokes the time frame, donit?  Same w Tubthumping, which is not only a great song, but brings you right back to 97. for the record, I like both songs.   I'll have to take your word on The Verve being played on KFOG a lot, because I don't really listen to the station :), but can the same be said for Chumbawumba?  Does KFOG play it much?


ooh, Hanson!  MMMBOS, mmmkay?

Oh hells yeah. They were playing Chumbawumba 27 times a week during the DC era.  maybe not so much at the moment.

Oh. Fuck. The Bosstones -- as LN a FF as ever there was.

Most of these were decent songs by themselves, but the set was less than the sum of its parts.

My files show Dave played it on January 4, 2008 (A "Brand New" Year....1997!!!) -- his only
1997 set.  Annalisa played it on June 29, 2012, in a "Guilty Pleasures" set.

I believe he did.  Interesting that we got '90s 2 days in a row (a rarity for *any* decade to appear back-to-back with itself) and in both sets we got at least one out-of-format pop record.  Still a few too many LNs for me but this may be the trade-off.

Yes, he did.  Here is the set list, including AL's Bonus Track, for everyone's entertainment.
Note that this would be the first 1997 set on 10@10.

01/04/2008 - FRIDAY!!! A "Brand New" Year....1997!!!

1. Chumbawamba - Tub Thumping
2. Paula Cole - Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?
3. Bruce Springsteen - Secret Garden
4. Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
5. Hanson - Mmm Bop
6. Third Eye Blind - Semi-Charmed Life
7. Sheryl Crow - If it Makes You Happy
8. Sister Hazel - All For You
9. Aqua - Barbie Girl
10. Duncan Shiek - Barely Breathing

BONUS TRACK:  Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Impression That I Get

8. Sister Hazel - All For You
9. Aqua - Barbie Girl
10. Duncan Shiek - Barely Breathing

BONUS TRACK:  Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Impression That I Get

4 (or 5) in common with Tuesday's set. And the others don't exactly distinguish this set - Third Eye Blind in particular, a rather dull Springsteen track, and the ever-LN "All For You". "Barely Breathing" used to be a HAC staple (and for awhile KFOG played it to death too), which leaves us with Crow (which frankly I'm ok with) and Paula Cole. If this were played today, we'd be screaming.
