This KFOG live remote at Village Music is a delight -- music geek heaven.  And the lady who did the Mill Valley song is coming up!


She's wonderful, telling the story behind the song -- Tommy Tutone was her teacher's aide in 1970!   God, I love this song.

God bless that label.  Sunshine (pop), thy name is Varese.

I've been concentrating pretty hard on work, but since 10 @ 10 ended, I don't remember a commercial or Annalisa -- just music and station breaks.  But maybe I'm not paying enough attention...

Well, here's Annalisa for Mid day mindgames, so maybe I'm just too into my work!

Anyone else get the "KFOG E-mail" today, with the link to the Foghead Music Panel?  10 songs clips to give your opinion on:

1. Glen Hansard/Marketa (sndtk of Once) - "Falling Slowly"
2. Spoon - "The Underdog"
3. Matt Nathanson - "Car Crash"
4. Wilco - "Walkin"
5. Robert Plant - "Gone Gone Gone"
6. Kooks - "She Moves in her Own Way"
7. Colbie Collet - "Bubbly"
8. Kaiser Chiefs - "Ruby"
9. Snow Patrol - "Shut Your Eyes"
10. Peter, Bjorn & John- "Young Folks"

Most of these are in pretty heavy rotation; but I've only heard the song from Once on KFOG... well... once. And a lovely tune it is, glad it's finally getting some radio exposure.  

But jeez, I've heard that Colbie Collet tune a dozen times and thought it was Feist. This whole Feist/Corrine Bailey Rae soundalike thing is outta control.

I did. I hate the first one. I turned the radio on and that song was on. I thought I had the "Light Rock, Less Talk" station but realized I had KFOG on. The 1st song is really the only one listed I hated. A couple I didn't care for but I didn't mind the others.

I've never heard that but there was another new Kaiser Chiefs song, "The Angry Mob," that I liked a lot.  Did it get any spins?

Wha???

"Ruby" got played to death out here on at least 4 stations, incl. KFOG, definitely second only to the Plain White Tees for the Summer Song of '07 race.

Conversely never heard "Angry Mob" that I'm aware of.

The CD is titled Yours Truly, Angry Mob so I guess that's the more-or-less title tune.

Sounds to me like they're trying to figure out which songs people are sick to death of, as most of them have indeed been in heavy rotation since summertime.

And I agree fully about that Colbie Caillat tune--a dead ringer for Norah Jones to my ears, but Feist, Corinne Bailey Rae, same difference. Pretty lightweight, too.

I think there are a couple in the list that haven't gotten into the playlist so much tho--I can't say I've heard the Plant or Wilco songs too often on KFOG, as well as the Hansard/Marketa tune.

First played 06/19/2007 - 165 times
> 7. Colbie Collet - "Bubbly"
First played 05/23/2007 - 223 times (no *wonder* we're sick of it!)
> 8. Kaiser Chiefs - "Ruby"

Hey Darryl,

If you have a chance, I'm wondering how much this Rock of Ages thing is resulting in significantly deeper albun track digging by the MD at KFOG.  This morning around 9, the 70's track was Little Feat "Oh! Atlanta!".  How often does that get played on KFOG otherwise?  Likewise Mamas & Papas "California Dreamin'" yesterday.

Anyone have any others?


I def have heard tracks that usually only pop up during, say, A-to-Z. Blind Faith's cover of "Well Alright" this morning, f'rinstance.


and right before 10@10 this morning Dave played Booker T's ""Green Onions".


Sorry to get to this so late.  But yeah, I heard "California Dreamin" too and totally thought it was out of place.

And yeah, there were certainly some other rarely heard tracks.  Which to me really makes that whole "Rock of Ages" thing especially lame, because they have to dig out songs they hardly ever play to make it work.

"California Dreamin'" was heard 03/23/2007 and 09/26/2006.  I don't have any record of it otherwise.

"Well, All Right" was heard 04/01/2007, 09/30/2006 and 09/27/2006 (probably during the last "Rock of Ages" promo).

"Green Onions"?  Never showed up outside of 10@10 (3/16/2007).

Speaking of green, CCR's "Green River", not heard since last September.  Two songs later, Alan Parsons Project "Games People Play", heard 5 times since June 2006.

Oh this is interesting:  James Taylor, "Fire and Rain" on 09/17/2007.  "Mexico" played on 05/05/2007 (hahah, Cinco de Mayo), a few spins in February, but then a whole lotta JT in December, when they played all of his Christmas hits.  Yeesh.

Well, anyways...
