aw shucks, I'm blushing. I have a playable copy of that song if she doesn't.  A generally impressive thread, Silly Foghead notwithstanding.

But I knew Eddie & the Hot Rods would hit her "early New Wave" sweet-spot. Hope we get to hear that one.

She's clearly been told not to respond directly to complaints about the "new direction" but she also clearly feels for those of us complaining, if that all makes sense.

Saw your FB pics Geoff, looks like a nice time up in the montanas!  Enjoy!
A 'very 1977' sounding set, all good stuff but, aside from The Jam, nothing spectacular.  Still, I enjoyed it versus most sets of the the past few weeks.  Only 35-min's long, no more going-to-11 (ever again)?  Sigh.

VHM APP.

Missed the set because I was giving my B- blood to the Red Cross in Pleasanton.  KFOG was on in the background, but really couldn't tell what was playing.  Looks like a pretty great set from the list, but didn't ANYONE, anywhere, comment on the segue from Anita Bryant to "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You"?   I hope I can hear it tonight or tomorrow on the replay.

BOS5 early Jam!  where's sundaygal?

I had a breakfast/kid's playdate over a friend's house during 10@10.  I would've reconsidered if I knew she didn't own a radio and had satellite TV beforehand.  Yes, I have the phone app, but I didn't want to sit at the table with my headphones on.  Would've BOSed The Jacksons & The Jam fo sho.  Iggy, too.

Yes, it was discussed on AL's FB page.  "I wouldn't wanna be like Anita Bryant -- but Michelle Bachmann does!"
