Someone on the KFOG FB page was complaining about that "Events & Adventures" commercial, which runs incessantly.  I feel her pain.

that was me.  I wanna punch that guy.

He sounds like such a dork -- a millionaire dork. Feh.

Ugh.  It's among a small group of commercials that make me get out of my chair and switch
to something else immediately.

That commercial needs to go.

KFOG sounds like it's starting to skew back to slightly newer.  The 90s (and 00s) sets have returned to 10 at 10, and we have the new songs by Franz Ferdinand and Beck in rotation.  Are they trying to out-alternative Live 105 again?  It could have worked if, by the end they hadn't been so blatant about ripping them off, esp. to the point of sounding like a train wreck (i.e. Capital Cities next to Bonnie Raitt.)  What they should do IMO, and what DC did do for his first few months, is add songs by alternative but lighter acts (i.e. Belle & Sebastian, Noah & the Whale, Fleet Foxes, The National.)

I think your idea is a good one but honestly? I don't think they know what they're doing.

I heard Echo/B'men "Killing Moon" this morning around 6. That was a nice treat.

But please, KFOG, you shouldn't play the "New Releases Thursday" sounder and then follow it with DMB's "Ants Marching" for the 18th time this week. Oy.

yeah, heard that DMB segue, too.   oy. 

I thought I missed the very start of 10at10 and Chris Isaak's Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing was part of it, but it turns out that it was just a lucky coincidence that they played a song from 1995 right before a 1995 10at10.

Luke Crampton's "Lost And Found" did not air last night. Checked KFOG's homepage, and the schedule excludes the show, although it still has a link on the homepage.  >:(

hrm.  I didn't listen often (I'm elsewhere at that hour) but I think it's a fine show -- it's one that DC brought to the station, so I'm guessing the contract was up and Pugh decided not to renew.

Always nice to hear them play James' orig of "Laid" rather than the remake.

I'm digging the interview, actually, and I like his stuff when I'm in that kinda mood. But I'm guessing this samba-ish track they're playing right now has had a lot of Fogheads changing the station.  ;)

Gory clearly finds him hella sexy but is trying not to drool too much.

"KFOG: Musical discovery, every day" -- yeah, esp if you've just arrived from Mars and have never heard "Sweet Dreams" before.
