Oh look, Renee does do "social media" after all. And we're getting a year from the 90s.

Thanks - one click on the link reaffirms why I prefer FB over tweeting.

Indeed, and I suspect RR prefers Twitter because it's "easier".
I'll be sticking with 2NG's retro-chart (Oct 1978) today.

And the first two bold choices are "You Get What You Give" and "Never There". Liked both songs, back in 1998, but for now I'll have to give it a >:( and a ::) and a :'(
-
You Get What You Give was the TOTHC. A little LN, but I like it. Two total LN's after that, Cake & Train.
-
Lot of excitement about what indeed appears to be 1998. I didn't tune in right away; I've heard Cake and Train so far. I don't recognize this next song, but it sounds like another KFOG snoozer (singer sounds like Chris Isaak). The debate was more exciting.

So I guess "Wishlist" does indeed have a chance to be today's "rare track".

Thank U
Never There
Wishlist
so far I've got one

Middle of the road rock has sucked since the 70's. Why is it the only music that gets played on sets from 1987 on?
I want sex and candy and for this set list to drive into the ditch.

This set needs a bean ball, not Fastball.

It's ok to have one or two songs like this, but yeah, when the entire set resembles Sex And Candy, it's to find something else.

Yep. What was that movie clip about "franks and beans"?
-
Glad I'm missing this, altho' AL's late-'90s sets were not the greatest either.

This has been really awful, but at least we haven't heard any ska or swing revival -- yet.
-
On a positive note, Renee has responded to my request for a daily thread on the KFOG FB page for listeners to discuss the day's set. But she's offering Twitter as one of the options.

Renee answered Big Fingers' query about a forum for 10@10 by saying Twitter is a possibility. Boo.
Being bitter is weird and kind of addictive. I almost don't want her to play an interesting song.
-
Maybe she's just getting all the hits out of the way so she can dig deeper later...yeah, right.

And Romney has a replacement health care plan all ready to go.

I liked most of these songs but none of them were N or anything close, and we got two of the most LN'y LN's of all time, Never There & Bittersweet Symphony.

Indeed. I'm actually surprised she didn't close with Semisonic. And I don't need to tell you that I'm not referring to "Singing In My Sleep".
So, four sets in - have there actually been any bustouts? Siouxsie from Tuesday's 1988 might be a candidate, and it's possible something in 1978 was, but today was just sad - I guess I'll BOS the Verve for its uniqueness, but that's tepid praise.

Siouxie was apparently a bustout. And the Chris Rea was an uber-rarity; it's not in the Shraytabase but I remember Dave playing it once (and it was the "wrong" version that time). Today... blecchh.

Ah, I'd go for "Fascinating New Thing."
EDIT: Ooof, and of course that's a Dave favorite.

So, apparently Renee said the BNLs song was "the bane of my existence" in 1998... which is funny because KFOG wasn't playing "One Week" in 1998. When did Renee start at KFOG? Did Live 105 play "One Week"? I know Alice did.
-
When did Renee start at KFOG?
1999 (that info is in the article Rad347 appended about Renee)

Ah. I'm not clear whether she went directly from Live 105 to KFOG in '99 or if she had downtime in-between. I remember she was "Renee Rotten" @ Live 105 and was the "token straight" on their Sunday nite gay show, Hibernia Beach. I also remember the morning that Kim Wonderley suddenly disappeared from the KFOG Morning Show and almsot simultaneously KFOG had a help wanted ad on one of the industry websites looking for a traffic person. a month or so later, Renee appeared.
-
Yeah, this is a hilariously awful set. It's pretty much all Alice circa 1998, but not in a good way.
It's weird to have a year that was meaningful to you be so horribly wrong in so many ways musically. Looking at the top 100 songs on the pop list, I could only recommend Madonna (ray of light).
Much deeper tracks would be something by DJ Shadow or Neutral Milk Hotel. You could do a whole set of the latter and it would be entirely praiseworthy. Didn't hear of NMH until lately but love it.
