Setlist from last night (30/31 March)

A pretty good show last night, though I say it myself. Lots of birthday tributes, including a full block tribute to Eric Clapton. I also felt the need to include a memoriam to bassist Ivor Young of The Auto-No. Not to mention (although I'm mentioning these things) a commemoration of the Eiffel Tower's grand opening in 1889, a tribute to the 1964 debut of Jeopardy! and an oblique (and somewhat tasteless) remembrance of the 1981 assassination attempt on President Reagan.

"Here It Goes Again" - OK Go (by request)
"Lonesome Street" - Blur
"New Toy" - Lene Lovich (for Lene's birthday)

"Sabotage" - Beastie Boys (by request)

Hey, an Alfred Hitchcock block as well. Regarding the Reagan assasination reference, I think you may have fallen into the same trap I have - "Big Mess" is about some messages somebody sent into to a radio station. "I Desire" is the Hinckley letters.

Regarding the Reagan assasination reference

"Well ... I ... ummm ... heh ... I have .... err ... no recollection of any Reagan assassination."

What sort of history do I listen to? Oh .. I dunno.

Hmm.
Yes?
Really?
I see.


Mostly alternative, I guess.

Yep, I did make that mistake with the Devo selection. Oh well, I didn't announce it on the air as a Reagan observance, so hey, no harm, no foul.

The Hitchcock block was my wife's idea, when I got a copy of "Psycho," the advance track from the next Muse album.

I'm also covering "Party Out of Bounds" this coming Friday night, and "The Blue Moon Lounge" next Monday. Any recommendations -- Eighties/retro for the former program, Americana/roots-rock for the latter -- are most welcome. (Both shows are 8:30 PM Pacific time.)

The Slickee Boys were always cruelly underplayed (for the Party show).

this ain't Everett delvin.

I know that, Steve. I've been to south Florida, and the difference is noticeable immediately.

differences ass side delving.
your pot is legal but ours is better.
