TOTHK: Zager & Evans -- didn't RR start a '69 set with this within the last 6 months? I coulda done without this one today, even tho' it's probably getting prominent mention in the novel.
-
Stooges, 1969, OK? An AL staple.
-
Mayberry R.F.D. pre-empted by the draft lottery ---> The Stooges "1969"

Nixon wants peace --> "Politician". The great segues continue!

Nixon inauguration speech ---> Cream "Politician" A relative rarity that we usually hear on Election day.

Also a good way to telegraph the year to those Fogheads who otherwise wouldn't get it.

Oh man, we're off to a flying start here!

Did Nixon garble his Oath of Office? ("I shall consencrate my office...")
Man, this stream is way behind, a couple minutes easy.

Yeah, I'm listening on my phone and it's still in Politician. Is Clapton playing both guitar solos?
-
Zager & Evans -- didn't RR start a '69 set with this within the last 6 months?
actually she played it as song #6 two months ago.
"Space Cowboy" is kinda LN -- going back to the Morey era.

Neil Armstrong ---> Young-Holt Unlimited "Soulful Strut"
(http://weeklywax.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/YOUNG_HOLT_UNLIMITED_Soulful_Strut-AL.jpg)
Oh, AL, you tease...
(ETA: I thought she was going to play the Barbara Acklin vocal "Am I The Same Girl".)
-
well, I never complain about the glorious "Soulful Strut" -- but I wish someone would play the orig vocal version in a '68 set. BOS1.
-
Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice --> "Nothing But a Heartache", another fab slice o' soul. BOS2

Furthering urth's theory: U2 right before 10@10...
At least for me (personal opinion to follow), the effect is to set the bar very low, so almost ANY 10@10 sounds pretty good... :)

Digging the bass playing on these last two songs.

I've never heard that version! Let's take a little Soulful Strut on the Moon. I'm a whole song behind now.

NOOOOOOOOOOO! Another uber-LN/FF: Steam. Seriously, a song I never need to hear again for as long as I live.

I was first made aware of this song from DePaul college basketball games in the late '70's and early '80's, when they were one of the best teams in the country. Their fans would sing it at the ends of games DePaul was going to win. Anyone else remember that?

and winner of this year's IRS (It Really Shoulda...) poll. And deservedly so.

Strong candidate to get my BOS vote once the set is done.

Yeah, what you said.

More Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice ---> Steam "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye"
Looking at the poster for that movie, it occurred to me that if it came out today, it would probably be called "Bob and Carol and Alice and Ted", with the appropriate re-ordering in the bed picture.

Swingy doll commercial ---> Dusty Springfield "Son Of A Preacher Man"

this belongs in the yet-to-be-created Visual Copy Edit 101 thread
there must've been variations (in the porn world, I'm guessing) like 'Bob and Ted and Jeff and Carol do Alice.'

My standards now are if it doesn't sound like the other 23 hours and 15 minutes of KFOG, then it's a good set. So, this is a great set.

Haha, yes. Like "Hannah Does Her Sisters". Not that I'd, errrrr, know.

Is this the same "Tommy" track RR played in that Feb 27th set?

Is this Overture? Underture is way too long for 10@10.
ETA: Overture/It's A Boy!
There was a kid named Walker in a class I taught recently, and he made me think of this song (except I told him about it, and he said his mom didn't take his dad's last name, so it doesn't quite work).
-
The Ventures "Hawaii Five-O" commercial to close things
ETA: AL played the entire track in the background while she did the backsell.
-
and yet another uber-staple: "Boy Named Sue" If I didn't know better, I'd think this was a rerun.
My standards now are if it doesn't sound like the other 23 hours and 15 minutes of KFOG, then it's a good set. So, this is a great set.
I've come to expect that most sets will include a few well-worn songs for the typical Foghead demographic, who won't know Steam from shinola. I can live with a few FFs so long as we get a couple of nuggets to balance them out. (In today's set, that'd be Flirtations, Stooges, and maybe Dusty.)
Another nice segue: Darren & Samantha thinking about boy's names > Overture from Tommy.
-
"The Ventures are definitely INSTRUMENTAL in your LIFE."
Heh heh, I see what he did there...
(And big ups to AL for using the backsell as a means to sneak in tune no. 11. #sogladshesback)

I hear ya, but I also try to close down my prefrontal cortex as much as possible, so I can enjoy the music. That means trying to lose consciousness of info like how many spins a particular song has gotten on 10@10. So, if I like a song, I like hearing it, regardless of that fact. Of course, if I've heard a song so many times in general that I've gotten tired of it, that's another matter. But I don't think that's a function of conscious thought.
-
I guess I just expect more from AL than I did from RR, and falling back on multiple "old standbys" repeatedly is a tad disappointing to me, given what an astounding year 1969 is. I realize "the kids" in the KFOG core demo haven't heard "Na Na Hey Hey" 8 million times... but I have. ;)

I feel like 10@10 irrevocably changed in the summer of DC (2011), so that KFOG more closely started emulating its imitators and playing ten great songs from one great year in one narrow format. This is bad enough in the years 1987-present, but I thought I've heard some of the genre-narrowing going on even in '60's-early '80's sets recently, and that was driving me nuts. So, yesterday's and today's sets including some harder rock, soul, and even a touch of dissonance, was reassuring to me. If the formula for the pre-'80's sets involves familiarity with the individual songs rather than an attempt to manufacture some retrospective KFOG format, I'm happier with that.
This means that AL is boxed in over the air and has to exercise her creativity during the "pre-show" the night before on FB. I can't fault her for this. This also affects my requests in that I usually make them not with an expectation that they might get played, but just to see who else likes them.
Expecting novelty, vibrancy, and an open playlist is a vain hope at this point, I think.

Per AL on FB, BOS The Who; VHM Dusty Springfield and The Stooges
-
Nixon inauguration speech ---> Cream "Politician" A relative rarity that we usually hear on Election day.
BOS! I never tire of hearing tracks from Wheels of Fire. It's perhaps my all-time favorite
album and a desert-island choice; I have three copies on vinyl alone.

"Space Cowboy" is kinda LN -- going back to the Morey era.
This is its fifth appearance on 10@10, and I have no record of Dave ever playing it.
Outside of Steam and perhaps the Who, every song today is firmly in the low-spin category,
although there were no bust-outs.
-
NOOOOOOOOOOO! Another uber-LN/FF: Steam. Seriously, a song I never need to hear again for as long as I live.
At twenty-three appearances, that Steam tune is undoubtably one of the most played on 10@10.
I'd wager there's at least one other song that beats it, although I don't know what it is.

Well, I think it depends on the quality of the speakers you're listening to. If they have high quality bass response, I say crank it up. If you're listening on a tinny laptop, I guess it's not that compelling.

There were a few Weir songs (and almost all Brent songs) that served the same purpose in the first set. (Which, if you'd spent any amount of time slugging beers before the show in the basement bar at Kaiser, would be a necessity.)

You've hit the nail on the head.
There does seem to be some effort to pick songs that haven't been over-played on 10@10, but
for the most part little fresh ground is being broken. I thought AL's re-inaugeral 1971 set was
outstanding, but that level hasn't been hit since then. The tyranny of high expectations, I guess.
I suspect it would be fairly easy to construct an all "big name bust-out" 10@10 for a year like 1969,
and just a couple would be a welcome addition to any set.
