So hints AL. Is this our first time in the millenium?
-
Yes ;D (except for the millennium decade set)
People need to stop requesting "Beautiful Day," though...
I requested:
Dexter Freebish - Leaving Town
Eiffel 65 - Blue
Eve 6 - Promise
Fastball - You're an Ocean
-

Yep. 98 and 99 have appeared thrice each, but this is the first time we've had a year that starts with a crooked number.
Anything but Train. Please.
-
Uh oh...we already have a +1 (and AL "liked" it, too) for Joan Osborne - "Love is Alive" :-\
Brace yourself...

Indeed, our first 2000 set... this is really making me wonder WTF is up over there. I've requested Tom Jones' "Sex Bomb" but I'm not at all sorry I have a 10:00 meeting tomorrow. Gawd save 10@10 as we knew it.
-
Ehh, it was bound to happen. And 2000 is older than 1999 was when we first went to 1999 (2009).

Having 2000 on the "Big Wheel" in itself is no biggie (and if AL actually plays Tom Jones, then woo hoo!) but in the past week we've been below 1980 exactly once and it's creeping me out a bit.
People are also requesting Sting's "Desert Rose", which I heard on the morning show just the other day. BTW, we did get a '00s-retrospective set on New Years 2010 and as I recall it was quite good.
-
gosh, I have no idea what to request. I took a look at the Wikipedia "2000 in music" page and I'm still flummoxed. I feel like Joel Selvin must feel when asked about anything after 1978. I will tune in just to hear what kinds of music I should have been listening to back then. :)
I predict Coldplay's Yellow will make an appearance. But I hope we don't get Barenaked Ladies or The Corrs. I hope AL goes all out with some pop -- how cool would it be to hear Madonna or Robbie Williams' Rock DJ?

The songs that hit #1 in Billboard in 2000:
What a Girl Wants - Christina Aguilera
I Knew I Loved You - Savage Garden
Thank God I Found You - Mariah Carey/Joe/98 Degrees
Amazed - Lonestar
Say My Name - Destiny's Child
Maria Maria - Santana
Try Again - Aaliyah
Be With You - Enrique Iglesias
Everything You Want - Vertical Horizon
Bent - Matchbox Twenty
It's Gonna Be Me - *NSYNC
Incomplete - Sisqo
Doesn't Really Matter - Janet Jackson
Music - Madonna
Come on Over Baby - Christina Aguilera
With Arms Wide Open - Creed
Independent Women - Destiny's Child
Damn that's a depressing list.
-
If she plays "With Arms Wide Open", even though I won't technically be listening, I may still hurl.
Almost a dogfight over on FB.... I couldn't help but laugh that right after RGMike pointed out that 1999 was the year for "Smooth", "Maria Maria" was requested.
That Steely Dan song was awful, even by their standards. Yes, I'd rather hear Nickleback (although I don't believe they released anything in 2000).

well, I guess you're going to have to cut some slack if Smooth shows up; it charts high on the Billboard 2000 chart

It still holds the record for most weeks at #1 on any weekly chart (25 on R-n-R's Hot Adult Contemporary), from which a majority were in 2000. IMHO that makes it too popular for 10@10. So of course it will be played.

I think one of the problems is that from a foghead point-of-view (I would consider myself one, as I simply don't listen to much else, even if I don't listen much to KFOG!) is that I don't see hardly any familiar music on the Billboard Hot 100 from that year.

This is gonna be the musical equivalent of watching a car crash. If Nickelback, Creed or Smooth by Santana gets played, I might have to pull a Donny Hathaway...

You forgot the ever-present Vertical Horizon. Not to be confused with Matchbox Twenty or Lifehouse.

My thoughts will be with you in this trying time. Never been so glad to have a 10:00 meeting. ;)
Keep detailed notes, kids!

I like Dylan. This is OK but the times they are a changing.
-
ok, so that first one I know as the opening theme to the Sopranos "Woke Up this morning, got myself a gun (and a track suit)."
... then a snippet of Tony Soprano waxing potic with a few "von-goos"
... then Bob Dylan? Hmm, well if you're going to do 2000, you HAVE to include some Dylan! :-\
-
"I used to care - but things have changed." Yup. BOS.

I hate thinking that way, but it's true. BOS for Everclear.

Heeeere's Coldplay. Wish I got myself a gun.

thanks for identifying it, I have no clue. He sounds like a cowboy.

holy crap, if *I* can predict a song in 2000, you know they're not digging deep.
-
Otherside by RHCP? Anyone request this?
-
Here's your Yellow.
I never much cared for this that year, as it was badly overplayed imho, and I recall it sticking out like a sore thumb when it was used in the 2001 KaBoom soundtrack. Who knew they would go on to become the biggest band in the world within 7 yrs?

Hey Mshray. Long time no talk. All good?

Vertical H. has been added to the "hand-picked" playlist of late, and after the 2nd or 3rd time I heard it got seriously stuck in my brain. Hope to avoid that today.
Finally a song I can give a BOS to, never get tired off the Dandy Warhols.

I'll BOS this, too. I saw these guys open up for Tom Petty at the (Berkeley) Greek Theater. They know how to appropriate hooks, I'll give them that.
ETA: Heh, on Facebook someone said this:
XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
Did The Rolling Stones get a cut of this song, because it is essentially Brown Sugar
XXXX XXXXX
My first thought was someone is doing a cover.
-
"Otherside" and "Yellow"... well at least they're not "With Arms Wide Open".
My in-the-dark stab at a decent 2000 10@10:
Go Let It Out, Oasis
Tonight And The Rest Of My Life – Nina Gordon
Stand Inside Your Love – Smashing Pumpkins
Leaving Town – Dexter Freebish
Fa Fa – Guster
It Wasn’t Me - Shaggy
Case Of The Ex – Mya
Rock DJ – Robbie Williams
Hello Time Bomb – Matthew Good Band
Stellar - Incubus
-
BOS Dandy Warhols
-

More or less. Lots of crazy activity with the startup (which is called Fastor Systems, btw), plus a few hospital visits for each of the in-laws in SF - one planned, one not - but they're all fine now. Wife has started a new job at Cost Plus HQ in Oaktown, so she's not coming home for lunch anymore.
-
that Meet the Parents clip reminds me that I still think Chris Martin's mother-in-law is better looking than his wife.
-
"Nope. Autobiographical"
John Cusack, best actor of our generation to not have an Oscar nom to his credit.
-
Gigantic BOS for "High Fidelity", the best thing in 2000. HM for Aimee Mann.
-
"Nope. Autobiographical"
Classic.
-
Wow, it's a Fastball song other than the big hit. Not great, but unusual.
-

so far the quality of the movies from 2000 has outstripped the quality of the music heard so far.
Oops, take that back, BOS #2 for Green Day, especially after the election news clip.
-
Nader did pull votes from Gore, but it didn't cost him the election. Gore ran a poor campaign. He didn't even win his "home" state of Tennessee.
nice lesser heard Green Day.
-
The set wasn't great, but it wasn't bad as I thought it was going to be.
-
I recorded this set, our first 2000! msg me for more info.

It's not mutually exclusive. Gore could have run a poor campaign and won. I don't think you can say Nader didn't cost Gore Florida, besides the fact the Supremes gave it to shrub.

From what I'm reading this coulda been much worse -- I'd've BOSed Dandy Warhols. But there's a comment in the thread on AL's FB page about "thanks for the Flight of the Conchords clip" --er, WTF?

7/12/11 - Tuesday!! Our First Trip Back to 2000!
1. A3 - Woke Up This Morning
(TV: Sopranos)
2. Bob Dylan - Things Have Changed
(News: Dan Rather: Election "hotter than a Laredo parking lot" )
3. Everclear - Wonderful
4. Coldplay - Yellow
(Movie: High Fidelity- music snobs)
5. Dandy Warhols - Bohemian Like You (B.O.S!!)
6. Ben Harper - Steal My Kisses
(Movie: Meet The Parents)
7. U2 - In A Little While

(News: CBS- Election/"Bush owes Nader a cabinet position")
10. Green Day - Warning
Missed this morning's show due to meetings, may listen tonight.
-
Looking at this list, yeah, it could have been a lot worse. Could've done without the Everclear, and don't really need to hear "Yellow" again, but AL did well considering the circumstances. Extra points for reminding me of the Dandy Warhols, and of course "High Fidelity", certainly in my Top Ten movies for the 2000's.

so, did that Foghead think "High Fidelity" was "Flight of the Conchords"?
By my count, 7 of the 10 songs were actually on the KFOG playlist at the time; only Everclear, Fastball & Green Day were not, iirc (but I'll admit to being wrong if someone disagrees). Glad the Dandy Warhols won BOS; that was during one of those "let's be more like Live 105" jags that KFOG would go thru periodically, and that song really stood out on the KFOG playlist.
When did AL arrive at KFOG? This is one of the rare years where she was actually working here and can remember what was being played.
-

No, I think it was the singer at the very beginning of Alabama 3's Woke Up This Morning.
The singer sounds like he's doing a Jermaine impression, specifically his song It's Business Time. You can hear it here, starting at about the :20 mark:

well... yeah, except FOTCs wasn't on TV in 2000. Oh those ever-wacky Fogheads.

Yay, Fastball! I finally got a request in for the first time in like...many months. We also got Swellegant's Green Day. Also enjoyed A3, Dandy Warhols and Everclear. If she had to play a single off of All That You Can't Leave Behind, I'm glad it was their least overplayed one. Yellow gets WOS by a landslide.
Infinitely better than last week's 1997. I just hope we don't start hearing 7/10 of these songs in every future 2000 set like seems to be the case for the 90s+ sets. We'll probably get Bohemian Like You and something by Coldplay in every future 2000 set.
-

I'm guessing '97. I looked up the interview BF-T did with her in his Radio Waves column, which says she got to SF in '95, worked at KRQR for awhile, then jumped to KFOG when 'RQR was about to become Alice. I know she was on KFOG when I moved to SF in the fall of '98.

"I used to care - but things have changed." Yup. BOS.
woulda been my BOS too. Gonna miss tomorrow's set; going to De Young Picasso exhibit.

I heard parts of this set, and it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been. I always imagine 99-00 sounds like Alice, which is not a good thing.
The Flight of Concords thing was a very short clip she put between songs where the robot voice says "the year 2000". It's from their song "The Humans are Dead".
