Title: 7 Dec 2011: it's... 1994
Post by: RGMike on December 06, 2011, 07:47:53 PM
made suggestions, tho' I don't have high hopes for any of 'em. Please let me be wrong. '94 is precisely one of those years that is often stuck in KFOG-playlist limbo, when it desperately needs some pop-chart and Live 105 type action.

I'm assuming Thursday will be our '60s-or-'70s day and Friday will be the first of several Xmas sets, specifically a Concert4Kids-themed thing (like she's done the past couple years)

ETA: the Foghead who wants to hear Counting Crows AND Sheryl Crow AND Sarah McLesbian AND the Gin Blossoms is offically on my shit-list.

Webster just played the Gin Blossoms' "Found Out...", which was a FB request, so I guess we'll be spared at least one frequent-flier.

I wonder what the record is for closest plays, 10@10 and otherwise.

I have heard the evening person (going back years) play a song at, like, 9:45 that was played again on 10@10 at 10:15-ish.

BOS1 Green Day.

I like Cake (the band AND the food) but "RnR Lifestyle" is getting TONS of regular KFOG play of late...  so this gets an F for Necessary under the Radical system.

thankfully, I don't listen to KFOG that much, so I don't share that feeling.  HM to Cake for quoting Bill Kirchen's signature riff from Hot Rod Lincoln.

another HM to Corrective Soles (I love that moniker) for Shine... though it gets played often.   This is kinda Christian rock, no?

Talk about a band that went from zero KFOG airplay to saturation overnight...  I'll give it a VHM; proxy BOS for sundaygal.

indeed, it's always amusing to hear songs that KFOG ignored when they were new.  Still needs a pop bustout or 2.

AL is cherry-picking a lot of what was sounding good on alternative radio back in 94. If she hits Come Out and Play by the Offspring it'll be a clean sweep.

BOS3 Alice in Chains.

Is this Todd Snider making fun of grunge? Very good.

I like Offspring too, especially Come Out and Play, though Self-Esteem was be much more bustouty.

turns out it was released in '94 and went nowhere, then Good Morning America started using it as a theme and it hit in '95.

No complaints here about the Meat Pups--Backwater was def. their most radio-friendly song. Their sound had been smoothed out a bit for that album, but they deserved whatever success they got; those guys were road warriors.

AL mentioned that Chris and Curt K. were guest musicians on the Nirvana Unplugged. She didn't say that their Lake of Fire was one of the songs Nirvana played on that show.

That song was part of a Meat Puppets suite, including Plateau and Oh, Me, all from Meat Puppets II, one of the best albums of the 80's.
I like the greatest hits of "alternative" theme going on in the recent sets. Much better than Toad the Wet Sprocket.

urth, I forgot to mention that they were one of the best live acts and Curt Kirkwood THE most insanely gifted musician I've ever seen.

I'll second that.  This was the year I started listening to radio and it so reminded me of Hits 106.  They had the Green Day, Collective Soul, Nirvana, Hole, Alice in Chains, Des'ree, and Meat Puppets songs on their playlist.  AL still should have played Real McCoy or Ini Kamoze.  Or Headline News by Weird Al.

You'd get no argument from me. I saw 'em a number of times in the early to mid-90s, and was pretty blown away by the interplay between the two Kirkwood brothers. I'm glad to see that Cris has shaken his addictions and they've reformed the band (albeit with a different drummer), and I have heard they're playing well. Can't say I've seen 'em though--they've only played Portland a couple of times and never on a night I could get out to see them.

Listening to Alice in Chains on the replay, and feel I gotta add a RIP to Layne Staley, who wasn't so fortunate in his battle with heroin.
