Title: 8 July 2011: it's... 1976
Post by: RGMike on July 08, 2011, 08:20:01 AM: Just posted; AL didn't technically ask for suggestions but that didn't stop me from requesting Graham Parker anyway.

But I'm baffled by the Liberace reference and WTF is Frederick Goodrum talking about?

Quite a while, actually. Married in '86, divorced last year (per wiki).

Today's set was better, but I'm still getting a pretty heavy MOR vibe from most of what we heard this week. I hope you're right that it was just an off week for AL. If the suits are having their say, it can't be good for any of us.

(Anyone recall the Famine of 2000, when for about three straight months, Dave rarely played a set earlier than '78? Those were cold, hard times, many didn't survive....)

yes -- Star 101 went all-'80s and Dave was forced to do '80s sets every day (tho' I don't remember it lasting 3 months; def 4-6 weeks tho'). Horrible, and the only time I can remember such a narrow focus that lasted so long. Somebody upstairs clearly went into panic mode. Of course Star's all-'80s thing didn't exactly take off like a rocket either.

Given that the rest of Constantine's programming tweaks are on the loosening-up rather than the tightening side... all this stuff about "it's different here" and "music hand-picked by humans" and Dred Scott playing old KFOG airchecks (!)... I can't imagine he'd want AL to make 10@10 blander.

Post by: Big Fingers McGee on July 10, 2011, 11:37:04 AM: I belive that "The Famine of 2000" was only about three weeks long - things like that always seem longer in retrospect than they actually were. I suppose I could look at the club site to see if I can figure it out, but that would take some effort.

I'd rate this week's sets:

1985
1997
1976
1980's

but yeah, not a very good one.
