And I have no idea who this is singing at the top of the show.

Hey! I passed 900 posts! Cool!

sounds kinda Gin Blossomy
-
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was the Gin Blossoms.
BOS to INXS's "Beautiful Girl." I never pass up a chance to remind people that the Welcome to Wherever You Are is an unfairly slept-on classic album.
-
'just go ahead now' or something
-
I know it's fashionable to trash the Spin Doctors, but "Two Princes" is a great dumb pop single that sounded great on the radio at the time.
-
Gawd. WOS to the Spin Doctors. No fault of theirs, but this was easily the most overplayed song of the decade, and the law of diminishing returns set in over a decade ago.
-
yikes, Portraitrina. Practically the only R&B record Dave knows from that era.

"here we go again," indeed.

What song is this?
-
These early 90s sets are good educations for me. I think I was still in my- "if it's current I don't wanna hear it" phase.
I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now.
-
BOS Simpsons.
-

What song is this?
"Here We Go Again" by Portrait. Dave plays it A LOT.
BOS the Simpsons; WOS Dave for censoring the Ramones ""you old bastard" or whatever it was they originally said.

Methinks thou dost protest too much!

"Go to Hell, you old bas-tahrd!
"I think they really liked us!"
-
WOS Haddaway. Yeesh.

Remember the video, with the old fashioned subtitle cards?
"Mark makes his move."
-
old Mac game (not sure if it was on PC too) called something like "Jewels" or something that had a soundtrack almost exactly like this "What is Love?" Eurotrash disco SNL parody Roxbury thingie
-
As I said before: early 90s sets are very educational for me. And the lesson I'm learning today? I didn't miss a whole lot in 1993 music-wise.
-
"Here We Go Again" by Portrait. Dave plays it A LOT.

No, Mike's right on this one: If we went back and compared the past ten 1993 sets, I guarantee that Portrait song would appear in at least seven of them. It's a very forgettable song -- a last gasp for New Jack Swing before gangsta took over the R&B landscape -- so I can understand the seeming unfamiliarity ... but it's a definite overplay.

Amen Brother!

This was a really fun dance tune back in the day, but I bet it is now the single worst Katrina, based on total percentage of year specific sets it shows up in. We don't hit '93 so often, but I bet Haddaway appears in Every. Single. One.
-
Watch Beej's avatar -- almost in sync with this "What is Love?" song.
Which, BTW, is a guilty pleasure of mine. Loved it in "A Night at the Roxbury", a film that is also a guilty pleasure...
-
I never felt educated enough on NAFTA to have an opinion on it.

Almost any song from 1993 would qualify as an overplay, but I don't think the song was ever played in regular rotation on KFOG then, so it becomes kind of existential as far as Katrina-worthiness is concerned. How many 1993 sets have there even been?

True, I think, but Haddaway appears more often even.

That didn't stop Ross Perot, why should it stop you?

BOS to this "What If I Came Knocking" song that I've never heard before. This can't be John Mellencamp, can it? Damn, he got a fire here.
-

Has to be.
ETA: as I thought, it's from Human Wheels, a disc I've owned (courtesy of Columbia House) since '93, but haven't listened to in ages. Gonna have to rectify that tonight.
-
Biggest gap of logic in set: the use of "Soul to Squeeze" in the Coneheads movie. I mean, wha?
-

I'm right there with ya. My first thought was "BOS by default", but this sounds quite good this morning.

I hadn't heard the Portait song before (or am just blocking it) but have certainly heard this JCM song before.
-
HM to what I think is the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

that's how I felt about the Annie Lennox song
-

Yep!
Okay, here we finally go, BOS to Tasmin Archer.
-
HM to what I think is the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
it is, and I like them, but his rap/scat amalgam is not wearing well.
BOS2 "Sleeping Sattelite" ... whither Tasmin Archer?
-

BOS2 for "Sleeping Satellite"! Another sad tale of a talented artist who never had a follow-up hit b/c she didn't want to do what her label told her to.
-
Tasmin Archer!
Sleeping Satellite is hot, reminds me of a trip to Germany.
I don't agree with the songs sentiment, but love the song, have the CD
-
Think we'll escape '93 without hearing 4 Non Blondes?
(I hope so)
ETA: I mentally flipped a coin between this & Soul Asylum. And lost.
-
HM Tasmin Archer- a song I think I might actually remember from 1993.
-
"Runaway Train" is probably a Katrina by now, but it sums up what 1993 sounded like to me. You couldn't escape it on MTV, which I was still watching regularly at this point (hey, I was an undergrad).
-

Betting it's the bonus track, myself.
Another guilty pleasure, though.

And MTV was still playing videos back then....
And you still can't escape this song. There's some K-Telesque "The Buzz" compilation CD of every over-played songs the late 90s through now has to offer that features this song.

I don't agree with the songs sentiment, but love the song, have the CD
and what IS the song's sentiment?

I interpret it as a statement against the existence of a space program when we've got so many urgent matters on this sphere to take care of first. To that extent, I *do* agree with the song's sentiment. But here are the lyrics; YMMV ...
Sleeping Satellite
I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
when I wonder why
are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
Did we fly to the moon too soon?
Did we squander the chance?
In the rush of the race
in the reason we chase is lost in romance
and still we try
to justify the waste
for a taste of mans greatest adventure.
Have we got what it takes to advance?
Did we peak too soon?
If the world is so green
then why does it scream under a blue moon?
We wonder why
the earth's sacrificed
for the price of its greatest treasure
Did we fly to the moon too soon?
Did we squander the chance?
In the rush of the race
in the reason we chase is lost in romance
and still we try
to justify the waste
for a taste of mans greatest adventure.
And when we shoot for the stars
what a giant step
have we got what it takes
to carry the weight of this concept?
Or pass it by
like a shot in the dark
miss the mark with a sense of adventure
Did we fly to the moon too soon?
Did we squander the chance?
In the rush of the race
in the reason we chase is lost in romance
and still we try
to justify the waste
for a taste of mans greatest adventure.

Gaz is correct about the sentiment, and I just happen to subscribe to the benefits of the space program. The reason there are poor people on Earth has nothing to do with space exploration, and everything to do with greed and corruption [see the reign of W]
PS, as a former aerospace worker, all the graphite necked guitars and basses I've made over the years would not have happened without the space program, not to mention the computers we are using now, as far as microtechnology development!

Nicely done, good sir. I hate it when we're right about things. It's never a good sign.

I'm with Geoff on this one. Aspiring to put a man on the moon pretty much paid for itself in purely macroeconomic terms, and such aspiration (imho) was good for the human condition generally. The simultaneous aspiration to stop the Communist "domino effect" in SE Asia cost about a trillion in current dollar terms, several millions dead in the region & tens of thousands of US servicepeople, and absolutely zero measurable benefit for anyone in the long term.

Well, there were at least some lessons that should have been learned from Vietnam, but we can now see our collective memory doesn't seem to work that well!
