Vote early and often! Here's hoping for a Genesis and Tom Petty-free set.

From your mouth to DC's ear. ;)
I sense a possible groundswell for Warren Zevon but I've been wrong before.

Is that a bad thing?

No, 'cause it was my request! Sentimental Hygiene is, I think, one of the great underrated LPs of the '80s and it would be a bustout to boot. Anything from it would make me happy.

Here's wishing you luck!

Methinks we'll hear some INXS... :P
-
I'm hoping for some Prince or LL, damnit!
-

Bah. I hope AL plays "The Damage You've Done" or "Runaway Trains". But not "Jammin' Me".
-

LOL! she played "Mystify" last time. (and TP's "Jammin Me" -- but no Genesis)
-
aaack: KFOG stream playing 2 commercials at once.

yeah, that was annoying.

That was distoibing. Thought maybe I had a web page playing a commercial too.
-
now I *know* AL played "Paw Some Sugah on May" fairly recently...
-
Pre-emptive 10-way WOS tie. I'm outta here. And in NH for the weekend, so catch "y'alls" on the flip side.
-
I'll take Classic Moreytrinas for $500, AL: "Hourglass".

I have the same feeling... but you never know.

Same here, those are the only two TP songs I legitimately like.
-
HeyHey, it's George Michael! VHM Faith
-
I'll take classic segues for $1000: Jim & Tammy --> "Faith"
-
hey Jack Kerouac, Natalie M wrote a really boring song about you. Your estate should sue, 'cause you were not boring.
-
'trinas by the millions etc.
-
Jack Kerouac-->Alex Chilton--> ? ?
Seems like a My 3 Songs in the making.
btw, was anyone listening ten minutes early? They were playing Chumbawumba for no apparent special reason, and I almost thought the set was starting early

Squeeze: I ask you, is this any worse than 86-87 era Genesis?

Holy Crap! It really was a M3S in the making. Uber BOS for ABC & Smokey!

That's gotten a few spins on the "new" KFOG.
-
BOS ABC -- the fab 45 that is "When Smokey Sings"
-
FINALLY
BOS for ABC!
Nothing can compare....
-
'trinas by the millions etc.
My biggest complaint with DC isn't that he's playing more new music that I don't necessarily care for. Rather, it's that anything from the past now has to be a "golden" oldie. No deeper tracks from the past allowed.
-
BOS ABC! Clever of AL.

Yeah, this is true. At least he's bringing back some "golden oldies" that got laid off for many years...but it does seem that almost all of them were singles.
...and then an overplayed (but otherwise decent) Cure song comes on. :-\
-
another appearance by the Cure, 2nd only to INXS in 10@10 spins lately.
-
BOS #2 for Warren! Hope he is enjoying his sandwiches in heaven.
-
VHM Warren Zevon.
-
BOS #2 for Warren! Hope he is enjoying his sandwiches in heaven.
ditto on both counts -- truly a great underappreciated LP all the way around.
-
BOS WZ.
-
BOS WZ.
cool! they haven't blocked this page or kfog yet!
BOS!
-
BOS WZ.
He's doing a pretty credible Neil Young on this one, both in the sound of the song, and the guitar solo. I've never been fond of this, but I do always wanna hear Warren.
ETA: Well, never mind the imitation. It IS Neil on the geetar.

sorry: WOS the Dead.

I was a HUGE fan but Dave put me off this one for life -- he played it sixteen times, per the shraytabase.
-
I've always liked "Throwing Stones" especially if it gets played other than on Earth Day. When I was in grad school at UCSB I had a really cool t-shirt that had the line from this song: "And the kids they dance and shake their bones" with Calvin & Hobbes dancing.

I like "Throwing Stones". This was a time in my life when I saw the Dead many times at Frost Amphitheater at Stanford. Good times. Though I do think it's a terrible guitar solo.
-
BOS Sinead.
-
BOS #3 "Mandinka". IIRC, Dave played this a couple times, but usually in the wrong year.
-
Sinead arrives with a Man-'trina (sorry, couldn't resist) VHM for her politics.
-
"Tune #7, Just Like Heaven"...oh, Annalisa.
-
Webster gets to make TOTHK requests? WTF?
-
sorry: WOS the Dead.
damn! I missed it!

Grateful Dead/Calvin and Hobbes shirts are the best!

The Dead at Frost; that was special.

BOS Sinead. Helluva song.

Yes indeed. Beautiful.

indeed, odd. He was, like, 26 in '87, it's not like he was some high school headbanger then. Of course, I was 32 and I'm def requesting "Talk Dirty To Me" next time.

Amusing (as always): the difference in perceptions of the set. Just as I (about midway thru) posted on FB that we were covering familiar 10@10 territory, someone else posted "great to be hearing all these unfamiliar tunes today!" and a 3rd person said they hadn't heard "Alex Chilton" by the Replacements since '87! I realize we're uniquely geeky here, but it's like some of these people only listen to 10@10 once a month or something.

You mean the same people who post on FB everyday? ;)

I think it's because even though Dave played them a lot, we haven't heard most of these too much during the AL era. Also, at least today didn't sound KFOG sample-hour-ish.

yes, I can see that.
(also, to clarify, my orig post should have read something more along the lines of "This is just as bad as 86-87 era Genesis, isn't it?" -- I actually prefer Genesis to the Squeeze usually, even the late era stuff. I'm not a fan of Tilbrook's voice.)

My biggest complaint with DC isn't that he's playing more new music that I don't necessarily care for. Rather, it's that anything from the past now has to be a "golden" oldie. No deeper tracks from the past allowed.
That's my read of the switch... I think the general move to more recent music was inevitable, but it shouldn't come at the cost of the lesser-known earlier tunes. I'm not ready for yet another Gold 150 ("Only music you are familiar with - do not think, stay between the lines") format.

Agreed, tho' even before the switcheroo, they were playing the same "old" songs repeatedly. They've basically just swapped out "Rocket Man" and "Sweet Home Alabummer" for "Wild Wild Life" and "Closing Time". Again I recommend that Eastern L.I. station, WEHM, which manages to play quite a lot of interesting older stuff (Randy Newman's version of "Mama Told Me..." and the like) in the midst of Coldplay and Foster The People.
