This must be the week we catch up on our post-1980 sets, since we only had one last week.
-
the very beginning of the song the jangly guitar figure sounded kind of like a Bizzaro world version of 'last train to clarkesville.'
-
I'm shocked! KFOG misses an opportunity for shameless self-promotion.
And yes, "The Look" does start out sounding like "Clarksville".
-
'88 Wish List:
Debbie Harry, "Liar Liar"
Kylie, "I Should Be So Lucky"
Yazz & the Plastic People, "The Only Way is Up"
fat chance on any of those actually being played.
-
there's that sexy voice again!
(i know. i'm late)
-
oh, yeah! i forgot! kfog is *the* bay area station that plays robert cray. i'm glad someone does...

True, but I don't get the feeling that they've been flogging the Spring Break thing with quite the same enthusiasm as they have in the past. Fine by me. Low key is better.
(Btw, I heard a promo for it the other night with a tag at the end that said "it's a wing-ding thing" so maybe they haven't abandoned that franchise name entirely.)
-
I got here just in time for "The Night Patrol," boring me to tears. "Oh, they're homeless, that's sad." Songs like this tend to have a "Noble Savage" streak that always irks me -- see "Mr. Wendal" for the case exemplar.
So I missed "U Got the Look," then? Damn!

Beg to differ. LOVE Robert Cray.

you're so weird, bobby. desperation in "the night patrol" bores you, but chapin makes you cry? maybe you don't like upbeat sad songs....
BOS: MINISTRY!!!!!

no, you missed "The Look" by Roxette. IF ONLY Dave would play Prince & Sheena some day *sigh*.

You answered your own question.
From the same folks who would late give us "Psalm 69."

sorry, my cluelessness is legend; please identify song and artist (sic)

Ministry.
And here's a bit of trivia: Ministry's drummer, Bill Rieflin, is now the regular sticks-man for Scott McCaughey's & Pete Buck's popcentric Minus 5.
-
Dylan or Wilburys?

KFOG's 10@10 is a very popular workplace radio I would guess. If you listened hard (after turning off the radio) you would hear the sound of radios all over the bay area being turned off or changed. Where's my fucking advil?
-
Ewww. A Wilbury Twist with my diet coke. WOS2 following the Ministry.
-
Dylan or Wilburys?
The latter. But I thought Dylan at first too.

Just another example of Dave's sometimes maddening perversity. He's afraid to play perfectly obvious pop hits from a number of different years but he'll play that song, which surely KFOG didn't play at the time of release.
-
Sad that it takes some Katrina Oil to light this set up. I don't want to give BOS to "Blue Sky Mining" but I may have to.
Let's have some Whitney, for fuck's sake. She needs the support now.

WRONG YEAR ALERT!
"Blue Sky Mine" is from 1990.

I'm gonna HM "Blue Sky Mine" at least.

My sediments exactly.

I would suspect that, If KFOG had EVER played this song outside of a 10@10 set, it was probably on some long-departed Sunday night Metal specialty show (if there ever were such a thing). I can't picture Ministry ever being part of the daily KFOG rotation.

On second thought, it's probably all the more important to hear this now. Every person who has ever voted in favor of bringing a Wal-Mart in their community should be subjected to regular doses of this song.

headbanger's ball, baby! i remember sneaking that in on saturday nights after snl. or was it friday night??
vhm: tdd!
-
Oh, Lord- it's "Wishing Well".
-
It's by now obvious that Dave owns "Wishing Well" either as a cassingle or on a compilation CD, given his refusal to play anything from this album except this and "As Yet Untitled."
-
Yikes! TTD, "Katrina Well". SO many other great tracks on this LP.
-
More sound clips of dubious audio-quality. The Commodore 64 ad sounds as though it were recorded using the condenser mic on someone's cassette boom-box.
Dave must have a new source for clips, but they're not exactly, ummm, pristine.

Headbangers' Ball was Friday night. Saturday night, IIRC, was 120 Minutes with the annoyingly-accented host Dive Kendall.

Geoff gets the crankypants today! This is what the 80's does to 60's-70's music people, including me.
I do like Wishing Well

My guess is that Dave recently bought someone's home recordings at a yard sale or off eBay.

ha! dave gets cassingled out! likes those people in high school who prentended to own an entire album. "yeah, yeah - i know that song!"
-

And the "1988" bumper stepped all over the end of the tune. Now that's something you rarely hear happen--the 10@10 production values are usually spot-on.

but seriously folks, I really do have a headache now!

oh, yes. then ministry would have appeared on 120 minutes, too...

hey, is this ian mccullough? "neither here nor there."
where's mshray? he would know.
-
the heady glory days of affordable computing! I played Jumpman to death, wrote my own payroll, and production control programs to run on the C64. Wow.

I'm right there with you. Anyone got a suggestion for a Sunshine Pop station after this? (Sunshine Pop = Fifth Dimension, Peppermint Rainbow, Free Design, Monkees, Association, Montanas, Brasil '66, Orpheus, et al -- basically, anything with airy harmonies and pop sensibilities)
-
the fretless zoop caught my ear, but I guess not every UK fretless track comes from Pino.

VHM Percy. Ship of Fools, indeed.

you're probably right. i don't think solo mccullough happened until '90.
-

I think he did some awesome work with Eno.

Thought it might have been, but not in this case. AMG says it's Phil Scragg.

Sister Katrina, Katrina Madly, Crowded Katrina...

Maybe we can get them to fill in for Ralph Barbieri.

You mean the guy who was in Brand X? Percy Jones. Phil Collins' fusion side project. GREAT bassist.
I think Mike was referring to Plant's nickname, Percy.

Thank God THAT'S over...
I think I'll SmoothFM it today.

Sorry gang. I apparently tore a muscle in my calf yesterday while playing hookie in the city (on my way into Amoeba Records, no less). Today is all about doctor visits & getting fitted for crutches. No camping trip this weekend with the extended family afterall.
The only upside, I'll qualify for a temporary handicapped parking pass.
I think the song in question is the Church, if I'm right Dave played it once last year.
catch y'all tomorrow.

Feel, better, bub! You certainly didn't miss anything spectacular in this '88 set. But the Drive's '74 was nice.

Well I hope you didn't let that stop you from picking up a few CDs at Amoeba before hobbling off to the medics.
And now I guess you'll just have to spend the weekend in front of the TV seeing how your picks do in the NCAA. At any rate, hope you feel better and are up and around soon.

Well, that will cancel tonights Great America escapade for you. I got four tickets but not planning to go. I wouldn't get there till after 6pm and just can't figure out what the point in going would be. I'm feeling slighlty old and cranky today.
Get better soon!

Au contraire, I still went, chatted with Greg, Renee, Peter, Dave & Rosalie. I saw the Collective Soul show & it turned out that the 2 guys in front of my in line work at one of my main customers (SanDisk) & we knew people in common. So I had someone to hang with & sit with at the show. My cousin was supposed to join me, but at the last minute he got sent away on a business trip.
Collective Soul started a bit slow, but got going towards the end & eventually had the whole place rocking. For their penultimate song they actually got a large chunk of the audience up on stage with them, like at least 100 people! The sound was badly mixed though. I was in the 4th row somewhat to the left, where the lead guitarist hung out, and for the life of me I could never be sure I was able to hear anything that the rhythm guitarist on the other side was doing. Vocals were mixed in a bit too low as well.
But even a mediocre show isn't too bad when it's free & you're in the 4th row.
