Title: 5 Aug 2011: it's... 1969!!
Post by: RGMike on August 04, 2011, 01:53:37 PM
the new rotation dictates an '80s set ... but wouldn't '60s be swell? it would be the first time we hit 5 different decades in one week, if Al chose to go there.

It's 1969! 

I requested "Matty Groves" by Fairport Convention (seconded by Geoff).  Almost NO chance of that!  8+ minutes of traditional English folk/"rock" -- fogheads would be up in arms!  But it would extend what is traditionally a short set.  Plus it's just a great song.

Indeed, and I seconded someone's request for "Soft Parade", which would have a similar effect.

I wonder if DC has been getting comments from folks re: don't throw the 10@10 baby out with the trying-to-attract-younger-listeners bathwater. This is certainly an unexpected delight to have an "old school" week, rotation-wise.

And it's on a Friday, in accordance with the convention established under the Morey regime.

It is cool to see this, I'll admit.  And I already got my 00s-90s-80s this week, so y'all can have your 60s. ;)  But, now you know how I used to feel. :P (Like, that time we didn't get any 90s for four weeks.)

and we totally feel for ya (really). But if every week could be like this -- something for everybody instead of 2 '80s, 2 '90s and a pre-'1980 bone -- I don't think it would mess up the general demo-youthening, as long as they're still playing "Closing Time" 3 times a day.  ;)

On a field trip in '69 as kids to tour our local radio station "Aquarius" was one of the 45s handed out to us.  I still have it in a steel 45rpm record box deep in the back of a closet.  Time to dig it out and give 'em a spin!

KFOG has dropped the 10at10 Sat Morning Marathon (which sucks as many listeners are busy during the week and catch up with it on Sat's). This message on KFOG FB page:
"Yes, we’ve tweaked the weekends a little, in order to bring you the world famous KFOG mix throughout more of the day. You can still hear 10@10 twice each weekday, at 10 am and 10pm, and Acoustic Sunrise continues on Sunday mornings from 7-11 am, and Sunday evening from 7 to 9 pm. We hope you’ll try it out and let us know how you adjust to the changes! Thanks so much for listening, and for getting in touch."

Needless to say, the negative replies are coming in to their FB post.
