Title: 26 Oct 2012: it's... a baseball/WS set? Nope, 1985
Post by: RGMike on October 26, 2012, 10:07:10 AM
Better late than never, i guess.

"Glory days" followed by "Centerfield" -- a tad obvious.

coulda been '84 or '85 based on those 2 songs.

Actually, it's 1984.

Could "The Boys Of Summer" be next. Sheesh.

Googling indicates that "Centerfield" came out in '85.

I see, it is '85, Mike updated.  Someone on 'Snipes said '84.  Anyway, BOS Bruce.

Agreed, on principle, but with the WS and all, the Bruce and Fogerty are apropos.

of course the Broooce LP was on the charts for both years; the Fogerty LP is '85 (tho' "Old man Down the Road" came out in late '84 as a 45). But the a-ha is pure '85.

and yeah, I'll give Bruce and Fogerty LN passes due to the baseball connection. But a WS set woulda been much preferable all around.  Imagine the SF-vs-Detroit set Dave Morey woulda done. "Tigers, Tigers, rah-rah-rah..."

apparently Renee's FB thread on the KFOG page said '84 incorrectly and she's "doesn't feel like" editing it. 'Cause that's, like SOOO much work. Sheesh.

LOL, this qualifies as the "Least Surprising Tidbit Of The Day".

I'm almost thankful to be at work where I can't listen.... I mean the WS OR 1985 are so rich with possibilities and then we get this lazy-ass effort. Guess I should know better.

BOS for Tammy Faye. Somewhere Dave is applauding.

BOS for  releasing the Hounds of Love.

I love "Running Up that Hill" but it was one of AL's premier Katrinas, iirc.

It probably took more keystrokes to write "I don't feel like it" than to click the edit button and change the 4 to a 5...  ::)

Things like this really annoy me.  If she misspelled a word then that would be one thing, but the year is a kind of extremely important part of 10@10.  I just posted a semi-rant saying that the year is the most important part of 10@10, KFOG's signature show, and such an easily correctible typo can make a huge difference for the integrity of the show. 

LMAO.  KFOG Radio just replied saying "Are you for real?  People are starving in Africa."  Then she apparently deleted the post and re-did it with the correct year.  LOL.  Well, I have to at least give her credit for that.

Balsiness Award to Renee (ot DC or Icky) for playing "WATW" -- yeah is cheezy crapola personified but it's emblematic of '85 for sure.

Bad form to come out and admit you don't "feel like" correcting a bad mistake, but I don't think you can edit a post like you can edit a comment.  What she did - delete the erroneous post -- is the only way to do it, from what I can tell.

She needs to channel more professionalism and "geeky über radio nerd" if she wants to win us.  She doesn't take this as seriously as she should.

You're very polite to put it that way, Cat.

The on-air presence and song selection are mediocre at best but not necessarily all the dj's doing. Social media is another story, however. Her brook-no-criticism defensiveness (the mildest possible term) is absolutely awful. Annalisa pulled many people in with her Facebook inclusiveness, which took a LOT of work on her part. Clearly her successor doesn't want to put in a fraction of that work, but it seems like a terrible waste to toss all of Annalisa's FB efforts overboard. What Dred Scott does with Connected seems like a good model for how to engage listeners via social media without burdening yourself with a ton of extra work, but the current 10@10 set-up falls well short of that modest standard. Maybe overall ratings aren't affected, so management doesn't care, but they should just scrap the weak thread out there right now.

Given the results so far, Constantine's "Montana-Young" line is a Romneyesque whopper. I do not use that adjective lightly. A more appropriate analogy is your favorite teacher has to move out of town midyear, and you get Cameron Diaz in Bad Teacher as her replacement.

I still think it's hilarious.  Lighten up, folks!   ::)

ETA:  And, to be clear, it's that she posted it during "We Are The World", which definitely is in the spirit of 10 @ 10 self referencing.  Give Renee some credit.
