Setlist from last night (30/31 December)

My parents still are visiting for the holidays, so I didn't take as much time as usual to plan the show. I tracked down the appropriate rock & roll birthdays, skipped my usual parlor tricks (well, except for the Who tribute block), and more or less winged it.

"Ask the Angels" - Patti Smith (for Patti's birthday)
"Bachelorette" - Trip Shakespeare
"The Free Electric Band" - Albert Hammond

"I Wanna Dance (But I Don't Know How)" - The Skaters
"Connjur" - School of Seven Bells (R.I.P. Ben Curtis)
"Beat Around the Bush" - Radio 4
"Implosionatic" - Hot Hot Heat

"Circle Sky" - The Monkees (for Michael Nesmith's birthday)
"Dark Night" - The Blasters
"Louisiana Lowdown" - Cowboy Mouth
"Empty Ships" - Creeper Lagoon

"Disguises" - The Jam
"The Kids Are Alright" - Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs
"I Can See for Miles" - Lord Sitar
"Armenia City in the Sky" - Petra Haden

"Jets at Dawn" - Be Bop Deluxe
"Stay" - David Bowie

"Do Ya" - The Move (for Jeff Lynne's birthday)
"Crossed Wires" - Superchunk
"Some Jingle Jangle Morning" - Mary Lou Lord

"Sick as a Dog" - Aerosmith (for Tom Hamilton's birthday)
"Omegaman" - The Police (for Andy Summers' birthday)
"All You Good Good People" - Embrace (for singer Danny McNamara's birthday)
"Drop" - Tinfed

"Little Mascara" - The Replacements (for Paul Westerberg's birthday)
"Slow Motion" - Ultravox
"My Mistake" - The Kingbees
"Answering Machine" - The Replacements (what I said)

Oh, and thanks, Ira, for crushing all that spam.

"Slow Motion" - Ultravox

Awesome song! Good choice!

Haven't heard the Kingbees' "My Mistake" in 30-odd years. Foir some reason, it managed to gather some airplay on my local rock station circa 1980.

For some reason, the replay feature on the KSER website hasn't been working properly for your last two shows (that one and your guest slot on Poptopia Parkway a few days earlier). I'll try it again today, but you may wish to tell the folks who run the site that the distant world (i.e. me) is missing out !

Yeah, "My Mistake" got some decent airplay as a new single on KILO-94, my local rock station at the time. (That station still exists, and still plays rock ... but its stock in trade diverged from my personal taste a long time ago.) A band called The Sids -- kind of the godfather band on our local scene -- would include it in their sets, too. Always a great song to hear.

That makes two people who've told me the replayer is hosed. I'll notify the station. Thanks!
