Regional 10@10's across the time zones! / 1964 on Tuesday 4/5/05

« on: April 05, 2005, 07:32:43 AM »

Don't blink! these '64 sets are notoriously short.  Which is good, because Dave's supposed to interview the author of that bio of Sylvester, which is supposed to be great.

KFOG's 10@10 / Mon 4/4/05 -- it's Strictly Instrumental!

First time in ages. Dave's soliciting suggestions via email.  Apparently he's unearthed the demo version of "Telstar".

KFOG's 10@10 / Half Marathon

« on: April 02, 2005, 11:06:16 AM »

So I awoke at 7:45, in time for the last half of 1978. When Dave announced that '92 was next I switched over to Oldies 1510 and came back about 45 mins later to hear that 1987 was next. So I switched back to Oldies again. 45 mins further on, I was lucky enough to catch 1970, which turned out to be the last set. Which means they must've played 1980 at around 6:30.

Why run endless promos about how "the marathon now starts at 7 for all you sleepyheads", and then screw up 3 weeks in a row?

But belated BOS for "the looong version" of "Somebody's Been Sleeping".

Stream of Consciousness / The Bone A to Z

« on: March 31, 2005, 12:39:39 PM »

in case you didn't know, The Bone is doing the A-Z thang this week (they're somewhere around J at the moment).  Looking at the playlist on their site, they're unearthing some relics -- Frijid Pink! (sorry I missed that.)  

Which reminds, KFOG is overdue for their own alphabetized trek.

I'll head over to the Bone after CG finishes playing "My Boy Lollipop".

"Hank" is the country version of "Jack", and a station in Indianapolis has switched:

Stream of Consciousness / Best. South Park. Ever?

« on: March 31, 2005, 07:53:33 AM »

I don't know HOW they're able to bang out an episode on a currently hot topic so quickly (and so brilliantly), but last nite they took on the Terry Schiavo fiasco (Schiasco?) and it was just genius. It'll be repeated tonight at 10.

And on a related topic, the woman in Ent Weekly who replaced dalton Ross on the "What to Watch" pages (her name escapes me) has officially declared that The Simpsons "sucks" this season.  Any thoughts on that?
