My prediction from yesterday stands--or at least, the 1982 part.
ETA: Dave sez "destination early 80s" so I'm feeling pretty good about this one....yep!!

don't worry... 1982 won't hurt you.
Well, unless he plays that damn "beginning of KFOG" tape for the gazillionth time...
BOS Prince, tho"

Just about the best TotHC I could hope for: The Purple One "1999", with the freaky intro, so hopefully he'll let it play out through the "Mommy?..." at the end.

indeed, and "why does everybody have a bomb?" always leads to an interesting political segue.

I seem to recall hearing that the last time we hit '82, so hope that means it's on the "do not play" list for this go-round.
-
VHM "Dirty Laundry", still relevant... maybe moreso than in '82.
-
one of the funnest songs from the one my wife calls "the whiner."
I just love the phrase "Bubble-headed bleach Blonde"
-

My sediments exactly.
It's interesting when people die...

2. Peter Godwin - Images of Heaven
3. Missing Persons - Words
4. Clash - Straight to Hell
5. Van Morrison - Cleaning Windows
6. Simple Minds - Promised You a Miracle
7. Members - Working Girl
8. Squeeze - Annie Get Your Gun (BEST OF SET!!)
9. Strange Advance - Worlds Away
10. Men at Work - Down Under
BONUS TRACK: Peter Gabriel - I Have the Touch

This was his first post-Eagles single, yes?
-
Also quite timely (and a great segue): Israel's invasion of southern Lebanon into Stand or Fall.

I keep hoping someone will trot out Human League's unjustly ignored "The Lebanon".

Yes!
Pretty good set so far, everything at least of VHM quality if it were in a more typically subpar set. Inessa's Radio song theme is also interesting, Reunion just coming on right now.

Ditto that, such a great song.
Oooh, here's that voice..."More Than This" BOS #3.

the weren't exactly bad at this point, but kind of ubiquitously excessive?

Talk about songs which are at least, if not more relevant today:
She dreams of nineteen sixty-nine
Before the soldiers came
The life was cheap on bread and wine
And sharing meant no shame
She is awakened by the screams
Of rockets flying from nearby
And scared she clings onto her dreams
To beat the fear that she might die
And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon
The Lebanon
Before he leaves the camp he stops
He scans the world outside
And where there used to be some shops
Is where the snipers sometimes hide
He left his home the week before
He thought he'd be like the police
But now he finds he is at war
"Weren't we supposed to keep the peace"
And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon
The Lebanon
The Lebanon
From the Lebanon
I must be dreaming
It can't be true
I must be dreaming
It can't be true
And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone?
From the Lebanon
The Lebanon
The Lebanon
From the Lebanon

reminds me of a night in the early 70's down in Sunnyvale. Some kids plowed through a stop sign, hit another car, and one kid (probably on reds) kept doing this screaming "Dude! you were cruisin!" thing to the other kid.
-
wow-- BOS FOS, "Telecommunication". A bustout?
-
and BOS2 Waitresses!! "SUCKER! hahahahaha!"
-
WOW!!! A Flock of Seagull's bustout. BOS "Telecommunication"
Another BOS, the Waitresses. Dave suddenly cranks this set up a couple of notches.
-
That car wreck clip with Spicoli from Fast Times is starting to sound a little too familiar. But the songs that's following it, Telecommunication by Flock of Seagulls and The Waitresses' I Know What Boys Like--the first is likely a bustout, and I haven't heard the latter here for a good while.
-

Waitresses may be a bustout too -- I can't remember Dave playing it. Certainly a rarity.

How can FOS and BOS exist in the same sentence?

Girls in baggy overalls with hair under their arms, could they possibly get this video on the air today?
Best Zeitgeist anyway, Dexy's.

I think a great case can be made that their debut LP was terrific synthpop.
-
BOS Come On Eileen. I know it's so overplayed but I just really Still Love this song!!
Also BOS2 for the Waitresses. And I really liked the Jeff Spicoli clip... reminds me how good that movie was at least for all of his scenes.
-
And BOS3 Split Enz, Six Months in a Leaky Boat.
How the hell do you spell Ayatearama?

Both are new to the Db, and for that to happen twice in an 80's set is pretty rare for Dave.
as far as AFOS goes, Dave plays "I Ran" and "Space Age Love Song" regularly, but even "Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)" is only in there once.

I was just gonna say "6 Katrinas in a Leaky Set".

Thanks for posting these lyrics! The song was on the air in Pittsburgh regularly but missed the national Top 40, and I haven't heard it since '83.
War, war is stupid.
And people are stupid.

one of the funnest songs from the one my wife calls "the whiner."
She's not the only one. :)
PS: I *still* think this is Hot Chocolate's "Emma" every time the drums start on this song.
-
Great set, though I don't remember a few like the Flock of Seagulls tune.

the FOS was definitely a breakout fore dave; it was a "deep album cut" from that LP that got some play in NYC back then but I'm not sure how widespread it was in the rest of the country.

1. Prince - 1999
2. Don Henley - Dirty Laundry
3. Fixx - Stand or Fall
4. English Beat - Save it For Later
5. Roxy Music - More Than This (BEST OF SET!!)
6. Police - Secret Journey

BONUS TRACK: Go Go's - Vacation
MOVIE: Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Indeed. That FOS-into-Waitresses segue (hard cold ending into hot beginning) was, sonically speaking, killer.
Note that we avoided the '90s for yet another week.

I'm not foward to when the late 90's comes up in a couple years. 1998-2000 was, perhaps, the worst era in rock music history. Way too much sugar (teen pop). 2000 bought us Carlos Santana's worst song ever with the talentless hack from Matchbox 20.

And I guarantee that song ("Smooth") will be the first official Katrina of that year.

Should we have a term for a song that's a Katrina in the non-10@10 KFOG playlist? I wouldn't call it a "Grey Seal," but I haven't listened to regular KFOG much lately ... thoughts?
PS: No Doubt will be the first Katrina of 1997. Or else Natalie Imbruglia.

I've called the KFOG playlist Katrinas "Killer Queens" but it could just as easily be a "Rocket Man". We should ask Darryl for stats on, say, the last five years.
What No Doubt song did you have in mind for '97? Their breakthru album came out in '96; was "Don't Speak" a late '96/early '97 hit? That would be ironic, in any case, since KFOG ignored them at the time (tho' they were HUGE on Live 105). Indeed, most of the years's best songs were ignored by KFOG. Here's hoping Dave will have the sense to play "Tubthumping" and "Mmmmbop".
My '97 Katrina money would be on one of these:
Green Day, "Time of Your Life".
Duncan Sheik, "Barely Breathing"
Sarah MacLaughlan, "Building a Mystery"
Shawn Colvin, "Sunny Came Home"
Sheryl Crow, "Everyday is a Winding Road" OR "If it Makes You Happy"

My recollection is that "Just a Girl" had hit in the summer of '96 and "Don't Speak" was hitting radio around the time I arrived in SF, late '96, and stayed there into the early months of '97. A few other songs got heavy airplay on Live 105 -- "Spiderwebs" and "Sunday Morning" are the two I recall -- and I imagine all three getting reps.
I have "Don't Speak" on a cassette mix, composed mostly of Live 105 tapings, that also includes these 1997 gems:
White Town, "Your Woman"
Squirrel Nut Zippers, "Hell"
Space, "Female of the Species"
Wallflowers, "Sixth Avenue Heartache"
OMD, "Walking on the Milky Way"
R.E.M., "E-Bow the Letter" (grossly underrated track!!)
Poe, "Angry Johnny"
Folk Implosion, "Natural One"
Cardigans, "Lovefool"
U2, "Discotheque"
Chemical Brothers f/ Noel Gallagher, "Setting Sun"
Portishead, "Sour Times (Nobody Loves Me)"
Good times, good times.

Great stuff, and indeed, except for the Wallflowers and U2, all were ignored by KFOG. Gawd, Live 105 was one hell of a station back then.
