to kick off Local Music Month, natch. Fogheads are making suggestions -- "Just Hits, please" sez Dave.
-
Are they skewing toward recent stuff? If not, I'll put in a request for the Pointer Sisters' "Fairytale," just for variety.

Put on your overcoat -- It'll be a cold day in August if Dave plays that little gem. :wink:

The Wheel
sublime pedal steel from a guy who didn't think he was a very good player on that instrument. We could probably do a 10@10 of songs he guested on w/pedal steel.
-
is this Luce?
-
when we went to the Mountain Winery, the whole crowd sang along on this song!
-
turn up the bass!
-
Pretty cool set so far...

In that case you can tell me what the correct lyric is, this song has a big Mondegreen for me in it.
What did Lido's note say?
Lido be runnin'
Havin' great big fun un-
til he got the note.
Sayin' _______________(?)
-
We Five "You Were On My Mind"
Beau Brummels "Laugh Laugh"
Country Joe and the Fish "Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine"
Mojo Men "Sit Down I Think I Love You"
with the exception of Luce, a pretty good set so far.

I'm afraid listening to crowd singalongs is not the best place to clearly hear the lyrics! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

don't know this one.

OK. Maybe it's not Weezer....
And Mshray:
Lido be runnin', havin' great big fun, until he got the note
Sayin' toe the line or blow, and that was all she wrote
He be makin' like a beeline, headin' for the borderline
Goin' for broke

Apologies for the off-topic post, but it's kinda big, at least for baseball fans.
Rafael Palmeiro, who got his 3000th hit about two weeks ago, tested positive for steroids, just hit the wires about 20 minutes ago:

I edited my post to back off on the Weezer. Sorry. I'm trying to do two things at once here!

Wow... they had a big discussion last nite about whether on not he belongs in the HOF.

Hey, RGMike, who sang that "American Girls" song?
-
BOS Huey, a fave piece of '80s cheeze for me.
-
Hey, RGMike, who sang that "American Girls" song?
er, Counting Crows, no?
-
Do You Believe in Love?
an uneven string of songs indeed today
-

Probably. Are they local? I suppose I should know that but I missed the memo...
-

well, Dave acknowledged this set was "a dumb idea" :wink:

I coulda dug something else, but hey...

"In a prepared statement, Palmeiro said he could not explain how the steroids got into his body"
2 words: counterfeit Viagra.

I took his apologetic intro to mean that he would NOT be repeating the Local Bands by decade sets that he did for Local Artist Month last year. Fine by me--a couple of them were not bad, but hopefully most Fogheads are at least attuned enough to know what bands have local roots.
-
Bump City!
-
er, Counting Crows, no?

Sort of. They got their start in Berkeley, although I think for the most part they're an LA band these days.

Green Day saves the, er, day!

A lot of SF artists started elsewhere, Boz for example. Jerry was a true local.

Somebody to Love
one of our daughters is named Grace

JA -- Dave's playin' the hits, all right. Woulda preferred "Ride The Tiger".
-
well, this being Local Music Month, and with the Morning Show being "on location" every Friday, will we be getting "classics" to end each week or will Dave pre-record new sets for us?

My guess is we'll hear reruns, although last year I think he might have put one or two originals in the can for broadcast during Local Scene month. Time will tell.

What's the on location Friday deal? I want my Friday Aug 19 birthday set! I know, after wonderful birthday sets of years past I said I'd never ask for a special set again. :wink:

They're in a diff location every Friday, including some lucky Foghead's home. This week: the Freight & Salvage in Berkeley. Dave may well be recording new intros & outros for "classics", but I wouldn't count on the year of yer choice.

Continuity alert!
So I get home at 9:35, turn on KFOG and they're playing "Somebody to Love"... which will get played again in about an hour during the "local" rerun.

So my schedule for this month has me at the Voice every Monday from 11am to 1am and every Friday from 11am to 9pm. This takes me out of commission for a lot of sets, including today's, which I'm quite enjoying. I'd only heard Counting Crows' "American Girls" once before: I was actually back in SF for a visit a couple years ago, and was playing KFOG all morning. Heard Norah Jones's "Don't Know Why" for the first time (I'd never heard of her and initially misidentified the track as Phoebe Snow making a comeback) at my friend Brandon's in the Western Addition; then, while walking up Post into Laurel Heights, heard "American Girls" and thought it was perfectly sunny and lovely. Yeah, Adam wanted a hit REAL BAD, and that wasn't it. Still a nice track.
What I would have REALLY liked, though, would be to hear the debut or breakthrough song for each artist in this set. For the Airplane, I would have played "It's No Secret," to bring things back home to the Matrix.
-
D'oh! I gotta meeting at 10am today. Somebody mis-identify a singer in today's set for me while I'm gone, OK?

Then you would hav eloved Selvin On The City last Sunday night, he played 'first records', the first recordings wherein various legendaries could be heard. It was very cool.

A fourteen hour shift? Zoinks, I hope you're gettin' paid hourly (and O/T) for that. You're gonna have a very good reason not to like Mondays.

Joel must be on vacay -- that was (appropriately) one of his first shows last year. And last week he re-ran a Van Morrison concert.

Actually, I love the work so much that I'd happily pull a 14-hour shift every day if they'd let me. I can honestly say I haven't hated a Monday since the BMMB shitcanned me at the end of April. Last week I picked up a few extra shifts doing first-copy reads (usually I do late proofs), which was a great experience. I'd like to be skilled at everything there soon.
Alas, no OT, though: NY law considers OT in terms of a 40-hour week, not an 8-hour day. (Voice union policy is to pay OT above 35 hours, but I'm not in the union yet so that doesn't apply to me.)
