15 June 2009: it's 1975

[urth]

Wow, sounds like I missed a pretty superb set. Hope I can get home tonight in time for the replay. 'Cause I doubt I'll be up at 7am on Saturday for that one!

I've e-mailed Annalisa a couple times since she took over and got responses to both! And one was just a BOS vote last Friday wherein I complimented her on the set overall, segues, etc. So either she's not getting a lot of feedback from the audience, or she's spending a LOT of time answering email.

Btw, I did tell her about our board and gave her the URL and she promised to check us out, so don't be surprised if she comments on air about something we post.

may be the latter -- remember, Greg told shray that she was very "chatty" (which was a nightmare for Greg when she used to sub for Dave -- he couldn't get her off the phones! -- oops, we kid, Annalisa, we kid!)

Just noticed that the above list has the Doobie Bros in both the #1 and #10 slots--now that's a first. Does AL have a new intern or something?

Damn fine set so far however--we're mid-Tangled Up as I type this. Looking forward to the Tubes, Beck, and 10cc. Queen would get my BOS so far.

Database bustouts from this set:

Little Feat
Springsteen (which shocks me no end)
10cc

The Beck and Queen tunes are making their debut in year-based sets. Previously they had appeared only in Strictly Instrumental and CAR-tunes sets, respectively. And this is only the fourth appearance (and second in a '75 set) for WDYWFL,

Was amazed at how many times 10cc has appeared in various sets (46), and how few tunes there are comprising those appearances (6).  Blackmail and Good Morning Judge are the most plentiful of those, with 11 apiece.

It was Lenny Bruce, wasn't it?

Yup.  Which I didn't know until someone in the Clubhouse (probably Mike) mentioned it in a previous WDYWFL appearance.  For which I was ever grateful.  I've still never seen an actual Lenny Bruce live sketch - surely I could remedy that via YouTube.

BOS to George at his giddyest, another in my someday-wedding mix.

his stand-up stuff is on CD, dude. And it's brilliant and very political. You would love, methinks
