1 June 2011: it's... 1991
« on: June 01, 2011, 07:57:16 AM »
no clues on FB, but it is AL's 2nd Anniversary as keeper of 10@10 -- she took over on 6/1/09. I wished her a Happy Anniv on FB and here's what she wrote:

"aw, thank you very much, Mike. I'm a lucky girl to be able to time travel w/the best here and keep Dave's baby rolling. I look forward to it every day. June has a few big anniversaries for me. June 5th is the day I used my one way ticket to... fly to SF. A few suitcases, a few bucks and a cat named Edith Piaf. Not exactly Mary Ann Singleton :) but close. The best move I've ever made! Here's to another fun day w/musical surprises."

(and her birthday is Friday)

EEEK, it's 1991. A mosquito, my libido.

I think it's really the drumming that made this band's sound so special. And that singer guy's lyrics, too, I guess, though I outgrew them long ago. The drumming still sounds cool today. Lots of dynamics that make what might be otherwise boring songs eventful.

Damn you Kurt for offing yourself and leaving us with the Foo Fighters!  BOS1

BOS2 Divinyls.  Dumb song, but catchy as hell!

all my '91 requests woulda been in the pop/soul vein (LLCoolJ, Boyz2Men, Londonbeat, Prince) so good luck hearing anything like that today.

BOS Richard Thompson -- we might not top this.

I always think of Pee Wee Hermann when I hear this.  He (actor Paul Rubbin's Rubens) got arrested around this time, and the Roxie Theater played a midnight showing of Pee Wee's Big Adventure and they blasted this sone right before they showed the movie.

I think so but he's hardly a frequent flier. Most welcome this morning.

 I cannot recall, but BOS from me, too.  I saw him at Hardly Strictly a few years back, just him and his guitar, and he brought me to tears, literally.

Fans should experience his CD/DVD of "1000 years of popular music" >> http://www.richardthompson-music.com/1000yrs.asp

Mark Cohn always says 1991 to me. At least it's not "Walking in Memphis". word/absurd/Thunderbird.

I've seen him several times solo at Villa Montalvo -- way up close.  He's amazing.

the FB page isn't exactly a hotbed of BOS vots so far...  ;)

WOS Clarence Thomas -- even more evil than we could've dreamed in 1991.

WOS2 RSF. yeesh & sheesh. Poor pussy... cat.

B.A.D. another frequent '91 flier.

BOS3 Big Audio Dynamite.  Ushered at the Warfield back then and got to hear their soundcheck.  Sweet memory.

This is NTM, but I'm afraid I don't like it.  I wanna like it, but it isn't happening.
