BOS, Mr. Argent, sounding mighty fine this morning.  As far as top 10 hits in August, it will start going downhill (IMO) quickly from here.

why can't we... avoid Katrinas?

And if I may say, most of the newly-created drop-ins AL has been using (like those "Chartbusters" things) are really not very good. Note that the computer-voice sounders she started out with in June are all gone.  I understand the desire to make the show her own (and she *has*, IMHO) but why not call a VT a VT -- did they think Dave would sue?

It's a by-product of this format -- if you are playing top 10s, most likely they've already been played a lot.  A WHOLE LOT!!!

what's a drop-in?  The recorded voice inserts? like "use my time machine and mess w people's minds!"

I wonder what happened to the new fan-based voiceover open auditions?

Let 'Em In!  I say

Mshray just called me (his BOS1 goes to Argent, and BOS2 to Foreigner) and wanted me to tell you that he phone AL to suggest a bonus track question:
"The Dave Mathhew Band Song Funny the Way it is -- which is heavy rotation on KFOG --  mentions one of the songs from todays set. Which song does it mention?"

so look up the answer if you don't know, and if AL uses that question, you'll have the chance to pick a top 10 hit from 1980!  and win a new music sampler!  tee hee!

VHM to Shray's dedication to the 10at10 club!!

If she's cold enough, you could end up with a blue morning, possibly a whole blue day.

Oh, she was not untalented. But that LP was one of many at the time that took the Ronstadt template (let's do some ginned-up remakes!) and ran with it, with diminishing returns.

Sheesh, speaking of songs we've heard "a whole lot" -- I'm feeling Knack-ered.

eta: shray called back to say AL will almost certainly use that bonus Q.  Apparently she decided his quesion was better than her original:

name some things in Mungo Jerry Song that are absolutely WRONG things to do in proper society...  like just not wise for you or your karma.. for instance:

Have a drink, have a drive
..
If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel

etc...

actually, '98 and '88 are the only years she has not done since taking over -- so in that sense, I'm rooting for ya. She systematically checked off every other year from '64 thru '99 and then started repeating. Which means that (in theory) we only get each year every 2 months, thanks to the addition of years Dave rarely-or-never did and one theme set per week.  Although, for whatever reason, we got '74 twice in 3 weeks.

It'll be interesting to see how frequently years get repeated from here on. I'm wondering if she didn't go thru nearly every year without repeating just to get her feet wet, as sort of a self-imposed initiation or something. But now that she's done it we might start getting to hear some years more frequently. But she doesn't seem shy about visiting the 70s, or venturing further back in the 60s than Dave ever did, so I'm not too worried that we're going to start getting 90s sets three times a week (sorry, Radical!).

Too bad Shray's contribution got 86'd as the bonus question. Maybe next time.
