It'll be no odyssey, I'm sure.
-
I just replied (and saw someone else did), but the topic isn't showing any replies. Is this happening to anyone else?

yes -- it was like that for about 15 minutes and now all the comments are back. Weird. But not as weird as someone wanting to hear "Southside" by Moby. ;)
-
Now it's happening to me... I see the likes, but not the comments.
-
Ok, comments are back & here's my 10 (which I do with every year 1999+):
Josh Joplin Group - Camera One
Dexter Freebish - My Madonna*
Eve 6 - Here's to the Night
Darude - Sandstorm
Eminem ft. Dido - Stan
Poe ft. Mark Danielewski - Hey Pretty
Delerium ft. Sarah McLesbian - Silence
Aurora ft. Naimee Coleman - Ordinary World
Gigi D'Agostino - I'll Fly With You
Andreas Johnson - Glorious
*The only reason I requested this instead of "Leaving Town" is because I've requested LT for all the previous 2000 sets. Not that she's going to play either.

At least it would be in the right year this time.
And do you realize that you used up all my willpower to make me not "minus one" your request? ;)
-
Somebody lost my respect with these requests:
Hanging by a Moment-Lifehouse
Life of my Own-3 Doors Down
Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get out Of-U2
Jaded-Aerosmith
The 3DD and Aerosmith... yeah, maybe, but the other two can go without ever being played again.
-
I requested the greatest hits of "alternative" in the hopes of getting something on the air. I'm a flip flopper!

Too late for me to make requests I'm sure. I'd go for Disturbed, Weezer (Hash Pipe), Rage Against the Machine, The Offspring, Incubus, Godsmack, NIN and Alien Ant Farm. There's more but that would be a good start.
-
I just wish I could be there for and join in on the howls of protest when the inevitable This Is How You Remind Me or Drops of Jupiter or Your Body Is a Wonderland is played.
-
start w quote from Steve Jobs "...announcing iPod. .. the cool thing is that your whole entire music library can fit in your pocket!"
... but you'll still hear the same songs again again on 10at10. aw, yeah...snap!
Lenny Kravitz for tune number one. Must be called Once You Dig In. hook-laden, simple pop, easily forgotten.
-
The former Mr Lisa Bonet digs in.

VHM PG -- I'm surprised this isn't a 2001 Katrina already.
-
WOS and LN1: Coldplay, "Yellow"

I'm sure the answer will be a "well duh" once you tell me, but PG = ??

Peter Gabriel.
-
BOS for the Shins! They're one of my favorite bands right now.
And WOS for that terrible Yellow song. I have no idea why KFOG pushed that song so hard. I did NOT think Coldplay was the next big thing based on that song.
-
Yay my devious plan to guess which songs are going to be played and "request" them is working ;D
-
Shins -- also borderline unnecessary, since we'll probably get it in the first 2004 set too (via "Garden State")
-

Peter Gabriel.
Along with the Afro-Celt sound system. IIRC this one, Pete Yorn, Josh Joplin Group, Train (DoJ), & David Gray spent most of the year in the AAA top 5.

not recognizing this one.

High-five!
This set isn't half bad so far, except for that awful Yellow song.

And now we're two for five. We will probably not get David Gray today because AL thinks that's 1998. Three for five featuring the JJG (but NOT Train) would be nice.

Pete Yorn's annoying voice filter: WOS2. And this is not its first 2001 appearance.
ETA: I am utterly baffled by the FB love for this one.

Well, duh. Take it's "When You're Falling".

More like Debelah Morgan. It has to be a remix of her hit, "Dance With Me."
-
uber-LN3: Cake. Seriously, how many times a month does KFOG play this one?

I wonder what happened to her? Now, she would be a good candidate for a one hit wonder celebration. And I'll admit that hit #2 on my personal chart.

This gets an A/F for good/necessary from me.
-
Like humans doo-doo. another 2001 Katrina candidate.
-
Sorry to crash the party...but WOS2 and LN3 for Pink, overplayed on StarMixAlice for the past ten years.
& LN4 for Cake, but that's inevitable.
Yorn & D. Byrne are borderline LN's, but having four already doesn't make me want to LN them any less. So they each get half-LN's, for a total of 5.
-

I wouldn't mind an actual girl in a short skirt and long jacket.

to my mind, Star/Mix/Alice have no bearing on 10@10 necessary-ness. It's a good "stoopid" pop record (and every gay guy I know thought she was singing "I'm coming out", not "I'm coming up"). And one of those per set is all I ask.
Now HERE (post-set) is unnecessary personified: "Rolling in the Deep" -- followed (good gawd) by Satriani!

Fair enough. Me personally, I guess I'd rather hear something that was overplayed on KFOG 10 years ago (but not anymore) than something that still overplayed on non-KFOG stations. I'll at least give you that she's more necessary than Train. ;) Maybe I'm just grumpy because I find the song annoying too. But forget every gay guy, every single person I knew also thought she was saying "I'm coming out." :P

Radical's Ratings - 2001
(Borrowing IE's formatting ;) )
Good / Necessary
1 B+ / B
2 A- / A
3 D- / F
4 A- / B-
5 B+ / A-
6 A- / C
7 B / F
8 F / F
9 C- / F (This doesn't really seem like a song. It just seems like he's saying a bunch of lines over generic Cake instrumentals. I realize that's kind of their style, but it seems even more "broken up"/unmatched here.)
10 B- / C

It also reminds me of when Live 105 used to become "K-GAY" every year on Pride Weekend. (something they sadly no longer do) They used to play that Pink song every 2 hours the whole time.
-
FYI, 3 of the songs we heard today were in the first 2001 set on 8/1/11: Yorn, Cake, and Byrne. From the 2nd 2001 visit (11/8/11) only Mr Kravitz's "Dig In"was repeated.
-
I'd love to see the numbers and see if all this generic s**t has really increased ratings, like in Austin. Corporate radio guys probably want to put their b-school degrees to use by preaching about the importance of "brand" identification. Let's hope they're wrong, at least in this market.

per the recent SF ratings, KFOG's cume is actually down a bit over the last 3 months.
http://www.radio-info.com/markets/san-francisco
Tho' I'm sure their demographics are younger than they were 6 months ago. (The Bone is down too and Alice is up slightly, FWIW)
It seems (to my ears) that Triple-A, which started out 20 years ago as a more-eclectic, less-hard-edged variant of AOR -- basically album rock for older folks who wanted to feel "hip" by being exposed to non-threatening new music and who didn't want to hear "Stairway to Heaven" endlessly -- has morphed into a rock-leaning version of Hot A/C. There was a time when Triple-As would have "no-repeat workdays"; now we get the hot hits played every 3-1/2 hours. I realize that the people-meter ratings technology has not been kind to Triple-A, and therefore (theoretically) playing "Rolling in the Deep" 6 times a day is supposed to induce "average" listeners who are jumping around the dial to stay put for 5 minutes. But lawd it's hell on the rest of us.
also worth noting: KGO plummeted from a 4.4 to a 2.8 after their format change.

But the KFOG changeover started happening months before that. (around July, IIRC.) It had a 3.1 by November; I think that's the first time in years it's been above 3.0, though I could be wrong.
What would be useful is if we could get our hands on the ratings for the 10:00 hours.
Also, the most recent ratings listed are for Holiday 2011. The stations that went all Christmas got a huge bump up(namely KOIT - 5.9 to 8.2, and to a lesser extent the SJ station KBAY which went 1.7 to 2.2 in the SF market and 6.3 to 7.6 in the SJ market) at the *slight* expense of just about everyone else (except for the Mexican stations) -- Alice, as you mentioned, looking like one of the few exceptions.

CHR Pop has become CHR Rhythmic, Hot AC has become CHR/Pop, AC has become Hot AC, Triple A has also become Hot AC, Smooth Jazz has become AC...etc etc. There even was a time when CHR/Pop had "no repeat workdays."
