Title: 7 Feb 2013: it's... 1976
Post by: RGMike on February 07, 2013, 08:44:04 AM
the "clue" apparently involves the founding of Apple, but with Renee that could mean anything.  It's been a lot longer since we've done '76, however: 11/14/12, as opposed to 1/4/13 for '77.

1976 -- there was mention of the Olympics in the 9:30 promo.

1976 -- there was mention of the Olympics in the 9:30 promo.

Predictions: Steve Miller, Foreigner, Boston, Rod Stewart, Fleetwood Mac, Boz Scaggs, Stevie Wonder, EWF.

here's the last one, from Nov:

Quote
1. Boz Scaggs – Lido Shuffle
2. Chicago – If You Leave Me Now
3. ABBA – Dancing Queen
4. Bob Dylan – Hurricane     
5. Rod Stewart – Tonight’s The Night       
6. Warren Zevon – Poor Poor Pitiful Me
7. Wild Cherry – Play that Funky Music
8. Al Stewart – Year of the Cat
9. Genesis – A Trick of the Tail
10. Stevie Wonder – I Wish

If the repeat song (which sadly is becoming a common occurrance) is "Dancing Queen" I may go postal.

they FINALLY (after, like, 3 months) got their Now Playing widget to work.

Jeezus effing Christ: the repeat song is uber-LN "Tonight's the Night". Honestly why does this have to happen every day when there's a HUGE pool of songs to choose from?

Now we just need the Seal version to appear in a 1996 set. Don't hold your breath, although one of the other 10@10's played it as part of a cover set.

And the college glee club wouldn't only have sex between classes, they would also write a song about it.

They were probably listening to Baby, I Love Your Way whilst making WHOOPEE.

Her "enthused" mode has always seemed fake to me, going back to her Morning Show years. But as I've said before, 10@10 was a labor of love and a creative outlet for both Dave and AL. Now it's just ten songs and some hastily-assembled clips.

And that's why, when a lot of us were ready to hate on Annalisa when she took over,  we found we had entirely misjudged the girl. She showed a passion for it that we couldn't mistake or ignore, and we ended up loving her and her "art." Somehow I doubt Renee (or DC) consider this art.
