KFOG has just started ID-ing songs after they end with filtered-voice drop-ins --y'know, like Live 105 has been doing for ages. 

And pre-set, I'm hearing "Brass in Pocket" for the second time in 24 hours.

in the first hour of the Morning Show, I heard Elvis C "Veronica" and Indigo Girls "Closer to Fine", both for the 3rd time in less than a week.

sheesh, the repetition is really becoming annoying. Hearing Black Crowes "Hard to Handle" right now, and I swear they must play it 3 or 4 times a day.

eek: they're running new promos, of the man-on-the-street interview type -- y'know the ones, everybody does them, random people saying things like "yeah! I like the music!" or "I listen all day at work!"  and then the KFOG voice guy tags it all with "KFOG. It's Different Here."  Not different enough, sez me.

Heard 3 early-'70s nuggets in less than an hour this morning: "Changes", "Superstition", and "Over the Hills & Far Away". I was beginning to think the new PD was phasing '70s classics out in favor of more '80s & '90s but I guess not.

Last nite around 6:30, I'm in the car, and KFOG is playing "Love Shack". This morning at 9:30, I'm in the shower, and KFOG is playing "Love Shack". Oy.

I've noticed a short that comes on at 11PM each weeknight that deals with the blues - sometimes it's Dan Ackroyd (aka Elwood Blues), sometimes it's CC Rider. A nice little nugget - anyone else hear it?

That would be Aykroyd's syndicated "Bluesmobile" thingy (formerly "House of Blues"). They still run the Hour-long weekly version on Sunday at midnite, I think. I thought they had been airing the daily version each midnite (Mon-Fri), so maybe they just moved it up an hour.

Just me, or does the stream just go quiet during the ad breaks lately? Kinda disconcerting, you never know if you're still connected or not.
Bad user experience, as they say in the Intarweb biz.  A couple days ago it was quiet for like 10 minutes after 10@10; somebody had to nudge AL via FB to turn it back on.

two nice surprises this morning: 1) Steve Rockwell filling in for producer Leanne "Mud" whetever-her-name-is. I could get used to a Rockwell & Renee pairing.

2) they just played "Cleveland Rocks" for LeBron. Heh.

At 9:50 on Friday, July 11, let history record that Renee played Ian Hunter's Cleveland Rocks, a song better known to the masses as the theme to the Drew Carey Show.  I honestly don't think this has been played on KFOG outside of 10@10 since about 1983.

ETA:
2) they just played "Cleveland Rocks" for LeBron. Heh.

Oh, *that's* why they did that.

yeah. cue "Goin' Back" by Nils L, The Byrds, Dutsy Springfield, or Carole King.

I I don't think the Rockwell/Renee thing was random -- they really sounded good together and I think it was a tryout for something permanent.

Yeah, I agree -- they sounded much better in tandem than Renee and her pal Mud/whatever who is barely there. If the pairing of Rockwell with Renee works out, we might want to start calling her "Wally Pipp." (See 3rd graf here for reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wally_Pipp)

For just a second, when I first heard Rockwell's voice I thought it was Greg Gory returned from LA and cringed visibly. So glad to be wrong on that one.

Just looked back at the KFOG Tunegenie playlist and saw this entry for the Run DMC song in today's set:

Walk This Way (To the Crack)
Rum LSD

WTF?!?
