KFOG, But Not 10@10

So over this Mayer Hawthorne song.  Fo real, though.

Yeah, me too.  It's pissing me off.  He can take his song's long legs and walk them right off of KFOG.

Wow, I sure walked right into that one.

Despite the swearing, I like the song, but Kfog does play it like every two hours.  That's enough to kill the joy for most people.

This week's "news" auditioner, Melody Walker? Melanie Walker? is IMHO not very good and she's really overdo-ing the bleeding-heart Bay Area liberal bit -- near;y every story she does seems to have that angle to it.  Because she  thinks that's what the audience wants?  Talk about yer cultural stereotype.

Plus she's from Minneapolis and has been mis-pronouncing local city and street names up the wazoo.

I do agree she's overdoing it, but it made me realize how little Peter used to put his heart into the news.  He was basically reading the morning Chronicle, while I was also reading it eating breakfast.  She is at least bringing some passion.  Webster shuts her down pretty quickly though.

She sounds like she's stumbling over words and is trying to act peppy but hasn't had her morning coffee.  I don't like listening to her.

OMG...Dred is playing Poe "Angry Johnny"!!!!!

OMG...Dred is playing Poe "Angry Johnny"!!!!! 

I went to college with "Poe" (Annie Danielewski). I was supposed to play guitar with her (I was talked up by some mutual friends), but that never happened.

Well, Peter was a real NEWS guy, and he felt (correctly) that he was supposed to be objective. His "heart" came out in other ways, like when he talked about his theater stuff.  It's clear (if you've heard the promos on KFOG for KGO, "your news & information station") that this new "news lite" direction is another corporate-synergy thing --now that Cumulus owns other stations besides KNBR & the Bone, there's more "let's keep our stations from stepping on each others' demos" nonsense to deal with.   I can't help feeling that Peter has been sold a bill-of-goods with his transfer to KGO. More than one conspiracy theorist has suggested that the KGO format tweak was an excuse to unload a lot of high-priced talent... and when the ratings for all-news are disappointing (KCBS and KQED are the kings there) they'll fire the news folks and run syndicated talk (your Glenn Becks, etc).

Also, Staind's "It's Been Awhile" seems to have entered KFOG's regular rotation.

Live/Archives 18 is officially sold-out.  Is this the longest it's ever taken for that to happen? or do they make more of them than they used to?

And this week's morning show newsvictim is.... "Cat", another veteran of Live 105.  Didn't hear that much of her today but what I did hear made me think she's one of the better choices so far -- she sounded like a smarter, snarkier (yet somehow less annoying) Renee.  Time will tell about the"less annoying" part, I suppose.

I like Greg Gory too but I'm guessing that if Renee has really been reassigned to afternoons-only, they'll go with a woman for their traffic/non-news newsperson.

Was thrilled to hear Cat on the radio this morning.  She was my favorite Live 105 DJ and I was disappointed when she got canned.  She's about 10000 steps up from last week's.
