Here's hoping...
No dice gang. We get 79 and the Babys. Harrumph.
-
Here's hoping...
Nope -- 1979. This sucks -- Dave's Earth Day set is one of my very faves of the year.
-
I rarely hear this Babys song, so I never noticed until now that John Waite recycled its "Every time I think of you" opening line for "Missing You." He can self-plagiarize, no matter what his friends say.

I'll do Earth Day on my blog on Friday - just to have an excuse to post "Out in the Country." Today I wanted to do something bitter, though.

it always turns out bad.
here's last year's Earth Day set:
1. Three Dog Night - Out in the Country
2. John Farnham - You're the Voice
3. Cat Stevens - Where Do the Children Play (BEST OF SET!!)
4. Joni Mitchell - Big Yellow Taxi
5. Toy Matinee - Last Plane Out
6. Marvin Gaye - Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)
7. Jack Johnson - The Horizon's Been Defeated
8. David Crosby & Graham Nash - Critical Mass/To the Last Whale
9. Grateful Dead - Throwing Stones
10. Spirit - Nature's Way
-
The Babys song led two '79 sets from 2007--good stuff in both of 'em.
Ah, this is the first of those, from Jan 10, 2007. Both sets have Supertramp and Dire Straits representation, and there's a '79 evergreen that shows up in both, as well as a few other nuggets. Should be enjoyable.
HM What Kenny and Michael Believe.

Melanie once sang "Bitter Bad", but I say bitter good. (Fine blog post, bub.)

BOS Iam Gomm-with-the-wind.

HM to Gomm-with-the-wind, "Hold On." And with that, I'm off to work.

JINX, right down to the hyphens!!

I'll be posting Earth Day clips on Facebook all day to make up for this KFOG heresy.

Was that Lily Tomlin in that soundbite?
-
if ya want Rod's body and ya think he's sexy... you're probably a 56-year-old woman.

Ack! WOS. Bailed before the chorus. What's on the Sound?

I always thought that was a clip from Thank God It's Friday. Which would mean one of those women was Debra Winger. But I could be wrong.

it's "album side Wednesday", so no Earth day set from Larry either.

Woo Hoo! uber-BOS2 the great Mr. Curry! Stimulating!

This song redeems almost any '79 set:
Me, I do the only thing that still makes sense to me...
Stimulating.
-
Don't give up 'cause we got Tim Curry doing the Rock.

I always liked Di Maggio
and Rockne's pretty Knute you know
Oh, Tim, you devil.
-
BOS3 DS.
-
Overall BOS to Communique. This is the closest we get to a rarity in this set--twice in the DB, including this instance.
-
well, at least it's underplayed Supertramp.
-
Thanks, Mean Joe!

now let's Boogie!
-

I'd have thought so too, but the DB says otherwise. Gone Hollywood is underplayed in terms of KFOG's daily playlist, but it's the leader among the 6 songs off Breakfast In America with 8 appearances. Take The Long Way Home is second with six, Just Another Nervous Wreck has four plays, and BIA, Goodbye Stranger and The Logical Song tie with three apiece.
Not at all what I'd have guessed either.
-
VHM John Stewart, whom many mistook for Harry Chapin when "Gold" hit Top 40 radio.
-
BOS3, the late John Stewart, getting a helping hand from Stevie and Lindsay spinning Gold into, uh, gold.
-
Turned into a pretty snazzy set. BOS for TH.
-
Finishing off with some o' that Punk Rock Music. BOS4, Talking Heads introducing a little-known Al Green song to a new group of fans. Bet the Reverend's offering plate was a bit heavier that year.

Or a lot of aloe vera!
ETA: At least we got a backsell today!

Is it worth the effort to even e-mail KFOG and complain (in the nicest possible way, of course) about no Earth Day set? This isn't one of those once-in-a-while sets like April Fools, it's one Dave has done every year for as long as I can remember.

Efforts might be better directed in expressing a desire to get Dave producing new 10@10s again. I am thinking that it's management that's dragging their feet by this time, not Dave. If they axed Benson as a cost-cutting measure, perhaps they feel they can afford to just play re-runs that they already own and not pay DM to create new ones. They need to know that we are starting to look elsewhere for fresh material and tuning away from KFOG.

Don't give up 'cause we got Tim Curry doing the Rock.
I think this may be the Clubhouse's consensus #1 song. I can't think of any other one that gets so many people to sing its praises, and never a word of dissent.

Not for a second did I even think an LA station would acknowledge Earth Day.

I was trying to say that seemingly every single person who posts here *loves* "I Do the Rock," and I don't know if there's another song for which that's the case.

Now *that* would be a cool thing to track -- our daily voting as a club. If Dave ever comes back, we might try to develop something. Voting would have to be strictly limited though. One BOS, one WOS, maybe one HM.

So Geoff, do you activley dislike it? or do you not actively like it? I would count the former as a nay vote & the latter as an abstention.

I would never BOS this song. It's mildly amusing, but not worthy. Sorry to spoil this perfect storm. I can't believe there's nothing we agree on!

What about Hot Tuna's Water Song? Is there anyone here who actively dislikes that one? Seems to me it gets a pretty enthusiastic response whenever it's appeared.

you got my vote! But I'm sure someone probably doesn't like it!

Ooh, good call - I enthusiastically love that one.
Since there are some stats geeks among us - maybe someday we could some polls on this site to replicate what we do at the Singles Jukebox: a song is proposed, people vote on it on a 0-10 scale, and songs are ranked by average. "I Do the Rock" would get a 10 from me; "Water Song" probably a 9.
