Title: 6 February 2009--it's...whistle rock!
Post by: urth on February 06, 2009, 10:00:23 AM
Oh jeez.

Originally aired March 2, 2007, and replayed twice since then, prior to today. Does that make this "classic" a katrina?


(Aside: I notice that Webster is now signing off the morning show at around 9:55.)

Oh jeez.


ditto jeez -- this is the 3rd (4th?) time we've heard this set, no?  I'd've preferred a 4th (5th) rerun of "horn rock" if we had to hear a moldy oldie.

If we don't get a date-specific set next Friday (either Fri the 13th or Valentines or --ideally -- both) I'm gonna be quite annoyed.

I'm sure I missed this set the first time around.  Listening while working, prolly won't get to post much.

Wop! Wop! Wop! David insults his Eye-talian fans. And he'll do it again on Casey's Feb '76 countdown tomorrow.

indeed -- a SetTrina, or a KatSet or something. (and there aren't many in this category -- horn rock would be another.)  But 4 airings in less than 2 years is a record of some sort.

At least playing a theme set on a Friday is more in keeping with the established "rules"--preferable to hearing 1989 or some s*** like that.

True -- I was fully expecting 1992.  But I'd've certainly preferred a Soul Patrol. But I'm guessing maybe this one was popular with Fogheads -- maybe Greg (or whoever) is trying to honor requests while Dave's away.

It's possible that Hocus Pocus has the distinction of being the song to have appeared in the most different theme sets, with five: Strictly Instrumental, Turkey Day (three different ones), Kaboom 2004, Whistle Rock, and the Harry Potter Magic set. And it's been in one 1973 set.

BOS from me as well.

I might do London's Heart radio for "Club Classics" (not as good as CGSS, but passable) or my standby WLNG. Your call -- I'll go wherever you go.

I think if a foghead were to show up at Dave's house now, he should make them a set just for effort. (Of course, he'd probably get a restraining order, too. :) )

Heard the set in my car, enjoyed it because it was a theme set on a Friday, but agree that we will soon need a term for overly repeated sets.

But check this out...as soon as the set ended I flipped over to Channel 104.9 and...HOLEE SHIT!!!...they played the Clash's first UK hit "Police & Thieves"! (apparently for no special reason).

I mean, WOW! 

If you don't know the song, AMG review is here. (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=33:3ifpxcqjldhe)

2/6/09 - FRIDAY!!!!!  A good day for...Whistle Rock!!

   1.  Wes Cunningham - So it Goes
   2.  David Bowie - Golden Years 
   3.  Steve Miller - Jungle Love
   4.  Otis Redding - Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay (BEST OF SET!!)
   5.  XTC - Generals & Majors
   6.  Focus - Hocus Pocus
   7.  Peter Gabriel - Games Without Frontiers
   8.  Split Enz - Six Months in a Leaky Boat
   9.  J. Geils Band - Centerfold
 10.  Beatles - Two of us

 BONUS TRACK:  Peter, Bjorn & John - Young Folks

The bonus was, iirc, the song that started the whole "whistle rock" conversation on the Morning Show back in 2007 to begin with.

Post by: Gazoo on February 06, 2009, 10:49:45 PM
I'll applaud the bonus track.  But I must note for the record that several months before that "Young Folks" song became a bona fide modern rock hit, someone in the Village Voice office - I think it was then editor David Blum, but I don't know - would whistle that riff at various points for entire workdays.  I came to somewhat dread it, while still recognizing it for the earworm it was.
