The Peak, 05/12/06: It's 1990
« on: May 12, 2006, 07:03:50 AM »
Big year for world events, not so much so for music.  We kick off with "The Only One I Know" (and hey, have I bigged-up the new Charlatans release here yet? : http://www.villagevoice.com/nycguide/ev90492,1.html ), a likely BOS.
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”

WOS: The Wilbury Twist.  Completely gratuitous waste of time, like they needed one more track and wrote something on the spot.

And yet its utter silliness made me smile for the first time in this set. That's worth something. VHM.

Proxy of Cairo: "Black Velvet", if you please. This always reminds me of those subway ads for Black Velvet whiskey, with Tanya Tucker in a cleavage-enhancing black velvet gown.

WOS2: "Love Comes Over You" was the most boring thing I've heard this week.  Crapton with choir?

Paging Beej" Das Cradle O' Love approaches.

Comments on neither the Oingo Boingo nor the Posies?  Dang, those are the ones I would have been all over.  Plus The Charlatans & The Sundays, too.

Ooh, just remembered that Christina is headed to SFO this evening to pick up her dad, so I can crank up the replay as loud as I want.  Oh yeah!
