Post by: RGMike on April 20, 2011, 08:25:53 PM
The Foghead request thread nearly made my head explode. "Lights"... yeah, NEVER hear that one on the radio.

Our own Swellegant Tim has requested... "Rasputin" by Boney M, quite possibly one of the worst records of all time. *shudder*. Tim, how could you??  ;)

Well, I'm not feeling particularly inspired in my requests tonight, so I thought I'd go for broke.

And besides, I'm sure you'd rather hear "Brown Girl In The Ring" than "Lights".  Ya know, maybe I'll criticize said request. Nah, the requestor strikes me as being nice, so not gonna do it.

Another late start today. It's 10:05 and Webster just called out the name of a Foghead for the Hawaii contest, then segued into Santana's She's Not There. WTF? It's gonna be 10:10 before the set gets underway, or later if we get another round of ads.

I never noticed that until just now, David Banner was the "victim of an accidental overdose" of Gamma radiation.

I mean..., first of all, do people actually use the word 'dose' in regards to radiation?  Any 'dose' should be an 'overdose', right?

Unless you're getting an x-ray. But when I hear the word "dose" I think of two things: LSD or gonorrhea. Thankfully I have direct experience with only one of those.
