Next to last Friday set with Dave "in the building"--where we going, gang?
-
ooo! '68 -- "Ah Cain't STAND it!"
I suspect a Beatle Xmas message may sneak in here.

I've never heard this before. Sounds a lot like "I'm Losing You".

BOS1 in any case; BOS2 "Tin Soldier".
-
Here's a likely BOS candidate: Small Faces, Tin Soldier. Must look to see how this did on the US charts.

Chambers Bros, believe it or not.

I can't explain what song number 2 is either. Is it the Faces? Shades of Itchycoo Park.
ETA: Small Faces, that is.

I tuned in late, but from the description I think that's the Chambers Bros., "I Can't Stand It."
Pre-emptive 10-way tie for BOS; it's very hard to go wrong in '68.

They did occur to me, actually, despite sounding awfully, errr, white on that song.
-
Ooh! Doo-di-di-di-Darlin'! One of my very favorite Beach Boys songs, though the production and lead vocal are a bit slapdash.
-
it's very hard to go wrong in '68.
unless we get Bobby Goldsboro's "Honey" ;)
B-B-B-BOS3 for "D-D-D-Darlin'"

The Small Faces AMG singles chart tab doesn't have anything on it. Is it possible that nothing by them charted? Or is it an AMG glitch?
-
Is it just me or was that a totally new '68 olympics clip? Very cool bit of history in any case.
ETA: chades of Elton John, this was on the 4th(!) album they put out in 1968.
-
Who was that being interviewed? Sounded like Tommy Smothers or Dan Quayle, though I imagine it wasn't.
-
Is that Olympic protest clip a bustout?
How do you like my Simon & Garfunkel avatar? ;)

"Itchykoo" definitely made the Top 40 -- "Tin Soldier" maybe not

AMG glitch. When I went there, it says that Itchycoo Park made it to #16, Tin Soldier didn't crack the top 40, only hitting no. 73.

Koo-koo-ka-choo, Mrs. Bancroft -- the princess loves you more than you will know.

Speaking of the Mighty Quinn, what's MTV VJ Martha Quinn up to these days?
-
Two more songs, two more BOSes: S&G, and Manfred Mann, who is definitely my cup of meat.

and of course, those were the days of "regional hits" -- there were cities where "Itchykoo" was Top 5, while in NYC it did next-to-nothing.

All filed under Faces, perhaps?
-
My top 20 Singles book says the Small Faces had lots of success in the UK (Tin Soldier to #14 in Jan, 1968), but only ItchyandScratchycoo Park made the top 20 in the US.
-
BOS4 commercial medley.
-
Two more songs, two more BOSes: S&G, and Manfred Mann, who is definitely my cup of meat.
yep, me too. Of course there was a long time before I knew the word 'queue' so I always heard that as "jumping cubes and making haste".
-
ItchyandScratchycoo Park
Haha!! They spark! And spark! And spark and spark and spark!
-
BOS5 Foundations, mainly 'cause it's "Baby Now That i Found You" and not the overplayed "Buttercup".
-
BOS of BOSes to "Baby, Now That I've Found You," from the fabulous Foundations.
-
BOS the small faces! Steve Marriot rocked

The LP chart postions are listed (which is why I was astonished to see that Tin Soldier came off of the 4th(!) LP they released in 1968)

radio geek that I was, I thought they were "jumping cues".

I'd have BOS'd either one, but that's cuz Buttercup is an all-time fave here. But no complaints about BNTIFY--it's nearly as catchy! And a thoroughly satisfying SH6.

I love Mike's current sig quote, but Rod, I love yours even more. ROTFL!
-
BOS of BOSes to "Baby, Now That I've Found You," from the fabulous Foundations.
I remember seeing them on This is Tom Jones and being astounded that they were a multiracial ensemble. (I had assumed they were 4 white English guys)

BOS6 Jimi -- tire tracks all across yo' back, baby!

I completely believe that. They never got the recognition they deserved here in the US. Itchykoo was a fluke hit for them, and I think most people thought that song was full of sincerity, when it's pretty clear they were dissing the silly hippes.

Mine was inspired by Mike's, which is just freakin' great.
BTW, that song never needs to be played on the radio ever again, imo. Went from catchy to annoying real quick for me.
-
BOS, Jimi.
'tire tracks all across your back, i can tell you had your fun'
-
another great song and candidate for BOS.
Jimi should've taken a bike, it's much quicker when you gotta get across town.
-
LAWD! BOS7 Sam & Dave!

Saw them play my college for just $5 in 1980!

Really? I thought they were all black! Shows what we know.
-
I still remember right-wingers using "back in the USSR" as proof the Beatles were Commies.
-
Now Dave, go ahead and play the entire White Album!
-
Dave would usually play the Fab Four's X-mas greeting before the song, not after, so I think he's taking a pass this year.
BOS #8 either way though.
-
BOS Beatles -- still sounds great turned up loud!!!!

did you hear Joel Selvin on KFOG yesterday? he was playing his usual blowhard dinosaur rocker dude, talking about how pop music sucks these days (some caller actually called him a "self-important blowhard," heh heh) and Dave & Co. played "Are We Human" to see what he thought of it. he seemed to think it was ok, actually... although I don't recall anything being mentioned about that nonsensical lyric.
-
Talk about your quick sets--I believe we're heading into tune #10, and it's all of 10:28. Unless the last cut is Inna Gadda Da Vida or something.
-
Apollo 8 Christmas '68 was cool to follow on TV when I was a lad.

Hey Rich, good to see you. Is it just me or have you been scarcer than usual lately?

Selvin was indeed playing that role to get a rise outta people, I'm sure. They got LOTS of e-mail, pro & con.
But the lyric's not nonsensical if you get the Hunter S. Thompson reference.

Well it sure won't be the "Time Has Come Today" megamix.
-

Yeah, I missed about 5 songs in the middle by stepping away for a few minutes to do some "work" -- grrr.
-
Wow, who is on speaking on this clip?? I feel like I *should* recognize this...
-
Dave would usually play the Fab Four's X-mas greeting before the song, not after, so I think he's taking a pass this year.
Speaking of Xmas greetings, anyone heard any clues as to whether he's doing a final Foghead Xmas Card set next Friday? I'd love to hear it, but he'd have to put it together at the station, as I'd bet his home studio is boxed up and ready to go on the truck by now. And those things are no small amount of labor.
-
Well, song 10 is Kermit -- that's sorta Christmassy ;)

Always dug Canned Heat, wish the radio would play more than their 3 hits.

Nothing has been said -- my guess is he doesn't want his last "live" 10@10 to be the Xmas card, but he could solicit greetings early next week and record one for playback on the 24th. (he'd just have to voice-track; most of the work would be Greg's or some techie)
ETA: Peter actually asked that very question the day Dave made the big announcement; Dave tersely replied "it's 2 months AWAY, Peter -- I'm not thinking that far ahead!"
-
Canned Heat always cracks me up... love it. ;D

Your post gave me the following idea for an email which I just sent to Greg:
Hi Greg,
Loyal Foghead here. I was just chatting with a bunch of my other Foghead buddies while listening to the 2nd to last Friday 10@10 with Dave in the studio.
We began to wonder if he'd be doing the semi-regular 10@10 Christmas cards, but the consensus was we suppose that with his home studio packed up...probably not. But then it occurred to me that maybe you, Greg, would be interested in taking some calls from Fogheads wishing Dave a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year & Best Wishes for his life in Michigan.
What do you think? If you could set this up with a time to call & tape them without Dave knowing in advance, I can pretty much guarantee at least 10 of my friends would make the call & give very sincere wishes to Dave. If we in turn spread the word informally I'm sure you'd get as many as you could use.
Or maybe you're already doing something like this, in which case could you let us know how to contribute?
Thanks very much,
Mark
And less than 10 minutes later Greg replied:
Hi Mark,
The next week is going to be crazy full with various projects that require a lot of time and energy of everyone here. Best thing to do is try and call during the week and let Dave know how you feel. The whole week is basically devoted to that so there should be plenty of time to get everyone in.
Thanks so much and Happy Holidays!

"crazy full" -- I love it when white guys use hip-hop slang. The best is when the incredibly white folks on the Weather Channel talk about "mad snowfall" and "sick precipitation".

I love it when people actually respond to their e-mail with a fair degree of promptness. (I can be guilty of not doing this however.)

Well I hope for your sake you switched away from KFOG, 'cuz they're playing it now.

Hey, why no 10at10 replay this morning? I was looking forward to hearing some that I missed. Really makes it feel like Dave is already gone. :(

I just tuned in, and they're playing the 68 set right now -- maybe the started really late?

Maybe there was some technical problem. I kept checking in periodically between 7 and 8am and it was all Acoustic Sunrise.
