the suggestion thread is up early, kids -- and we've already got requests for "Wishing Well" and "Sweet Child O'Mine" (!?!). Help stamp out Katrinas!
ETA: Bless you Swellegant Tim for reading my mind and noting that "WW" needs to be retired! (and for requesting "Little Walter" by Tony Toni Tone -- I was thisclose to asking for it myself).
My suggestions:
Gladys/Pips, "Love Overboard"
Debbie Harry, "Liar Liar"
Kylie Minogue, "I Should Be So Lucky"
Lita Ford, "Kiss Me Deadly"

Yeah no kidding... even by Katrina standards, they are Katrinas!
-
Nice requests, fellas! Especially loved Domino Dancing. All day, all day!
I suggested some UK indie faves: Crash by The Primitives & Christine by The House Of Love. Was gonna ask for Loosey's Rap by Rick James and Roxanne Shante, but figured it would be waaaay too WTF for KFOG.
-
Y&S: we've also got people asking for "Roll With It" and Cheap Trick's "The Flame" (*shudder*)
-
Wouldn't "The Flame" violate 10@10's implicit "No Diane Warren Ever" rule?
-
Wouldn't "The Flame" violate 10@10's implicit "No Diane Warren Ever" rule?
Sadly, that ship has sailed: "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" and "If I Could Turn Back Time" have both made appearances. And I'd give dispensation for "Rhythm of the Night" by DeBarge
ETA: per Wiki, Warren didn't write "The Flame", tho' it's crappy enuf to have been one of hers.

Just checked AMG to see who *did* write it (Nick Graham and Robert Mitchell), and learned that while Diane Warren did not write this song, she did co-write another song that appears on the same album: Ghost Town, with Rick Nielsen.

AAACK! Sistah Mad-trina, waking up the dead and putting me to sleep.
-
Yes! BOS1 Crash - The Primitives! :)
I loves me a perfect little pop song.
-
VHM Primitives, a semi-'trina but still fun.
a very good year for women, musically speaking.
and speaking of women: "Ana Ng". BOS1
-
Yes! BOS1 Crash - The Primitives! :)
I loves me a perfect little pop song.
Ditto. Saw them in a intimate nightclub that year in San Diego. Fun show.
-
WOS - TMBG. Hey, at least it's not Istanbul...
-
I don't want the BOS, I just want your half.

BOS3 and proxy of Gaz, Erasure!
-
into the Hothouse. Warming up for the "Irish" set on Thurs?
-
BOS1 Primitives
BOS2 TMBG
BOS3 Erasure...is this their first 10@10 appearance ever?
-
BOS #4 Treat Her Right. Haven't heard this in ages. Great harmonica.
-
BOS3 Erasure...is this their first 10@10 appearance ever?
13 appearances in the Morey era (divided among 5 songs) and not sure how often AL has played 'em.
-

BOS Erasure.
This sounds like Mark Sandman, but I'm hearing non Morphine sounds, too, like harmonica, backing vox and a guitar..
-
BOS #4 Treat Her Right. Haven't heard this in ages. Great harmonica.
a rarity if not a bustout, so VHM on that basis (but a proxy of GazWOS, I'm sure)
I'm Shocked -- Michelle Shocked! BOS4 .
ETA: Fogheads seem flummoxed by the last 3 tunes.
-
BOS3 Erasure...is this their first 10@10 appearance ever?
checked the Db, kind of interesting...between 2/9/04 and 5/12/05 Dave played 5 Erasure songs a total of 9 times. Then he only played 2 songs a total of 4 times after that.
-
BOS5 Morrissey, but of course.
-
BOS2 Everyday Is Like Sunday. Why so glum, Moz?

Hmmmm...that may have been why I thought so, then. I wasn't here in 05, didn't catch any after that...and I don't think Annalisa's played them before.

glad to see Chains Of Love is in there the most. It's my favorite.
BOS2 Morrissey!
-
Uber-BOS4 Morrissey!!!!! ;D
-

It's the Audacity of Mope!
Love the Pretenders cover of this, one of their many great B-sides.
-
I may be the only one to give a BOS to the Sugarcubes, but I liked this album a lot. And I had them in my limo once.
-
The Sugarcubes are getting "most unnecessary," only because they've been spinning the hell out of them on 92.3 these past two weeks.
-
and speaking of "caterwauling" as we were on Friday...
Bjork Sjucks.
sadly, despite many requests for pop & soul, the closest we got to the Top 40 was Erasure and Percy.

that's what SHE sa... oh, nevermind.
I'll give them an HM. I had one of their cassettes. Here Today, Tomorrow, Next Week!

BOS #4 Treat Her Right. Haven't heard this in ages. Great harmonica.
and one for the self-referential songs list:
I tell her that I play for "Treat Her Right"
She asks me if I'm gonna play tonight - Yeah!

I once saw Cheap Trick at a show and they took some time to introduce The Flame by saying it was their record company's idea to record it. The band hated the song, but they weren't selling records like they used to, so they took their label's very persuasive "advice." (i.e.: "record this sure-fire hit or we dump you," probably was how it went). Most Cheap Trick fans don't think highly of it, but it was good for their sales.
It's sappy and bombastic, with ringing echo-ey acoustic guitars, and cheesy lyrics, but Robin Zander is on lead vocals, and he can make anything sound good. When they played it at the show (it was at the Napa-Sonoma Fairgrounds in 2005, I think) those who had lighters held them up, natch.

...BOS to the Sugarcubes...And I had them in my limo once.
that's what SHE sa... oh, nevermind.
I knew if I served up that straight line somebody would at least take a lunging swing at it!
Actually this was one of top 2 or 3 experiences I had as a chauffer. I drove headliners New Order for the day, but got to hang with PiL's bassist & manager (Ted Gardner, who co-owns the rights to Lollapalooza), chat with Johnny Lydon/Rotten, and invite various members of The Sugarcubes to check out the interior of my limo, as they (& PiL) had come there by van. Bjork was as intensely shy as you might ever have imagined. Those who have long memories will recall various anecdotes from that experience that I've written up over the years.
