Sadly, my prediction was correct. Blorf. Only our second visit to '05. The thread is up, but I got nuthin'.
our previous set from the year:
1. The Killers- Mr Brightside
(News: Hurricane Katrina devastation)
2. Allen Toissaint- Yes We Can Can
(TV: Daily Show: Pres Bush vacay response to hurricane damage)
3. Beck- Black Tambourine
4. White Stripes- My Doorbell
(Movie: Brokeback Mountain)
5. Bonnie Raitt- I Will Not Be Broken
(Movie: Brokeback Mountain)
6. Silver Jews- I'm Getting Back Into Getting Back Into You
(Movie: Brokeback Mountain)
7. Coldplay- Fix You
8. My Morning Jacket- Wordless Chorus
(News: "the facebook.com trance")
9. Spoon- I Turn My Camera On
(TV: Daily Show US not on board w/climate control Kyoto protocol)
10. Arcade Fire- Wake Up
I may request Kanye or Gwen Stefani just to try to prevent another Triple-A fest.
-
Per the thread, she seems to be threatening to play Weezer's "Beverly Hills" which is in constant KFOG rotay these days.
I'm gonna predict, based on its appearance in a viral news story this week, that we hear "Mr Brightside" despite its previous appearance.
And someone requested Gnarls B's "Crazy" but it's from 2006, which presumably we'll hit sometime this year.
-
Okay, I think I've managed to request a diverse set of songs -- let's see if AL chooses any...
ETA: If anyone was wondering...
Ben Folds "Bitches Ain't Shit"
Paul McCartney "Friends To Go"
Al Green "Everything's OK"
Fountains Of Wayne "...Baby One More Time"
Three 6 Mafia "It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp"
Fiona Apple "Extraordinary Machine"
-
Throwing half my year end chart against the wall. Maybe one or two might stick...
New Order - Krafty
Joseph Arthur - Even Tho
Bob Mould - Paralyzed
The Chemical Brothers - Galvanize
The Thievery Corporation f/ Perry Farrell - Revolution Solution
Duran Duran - What Happens Tomorrow
Erasure - Breathe
Moby - Lift Me Up
John Hiatt - Master of Disaster
Ben Lee - Begin
The Shore - Waiting for the Sun
Dirty Vegas -Walk Into the Sun
Bruce Hornsby - Circus on the Moon
Slow Train Soul - Twisted Cupid
Garbage - Bleed Like Me
Billy Bob Thornton - Orange County Suicide
Straylight Run - Existentialism on Prom Night
Hot Hot Heat - Middle of Nowhere
Pitty Song - Radio
Depeche Mode - Precious
-
I went out on a minor limb and requested "Kids With Guns". AL told me last Saturday that the only Gorillaz song the KFOG library has is "Feel Good Inc.", so that tells us a number of things.

Really? But they've played "Clint Eastwood" a bunch of times.
-
no surprise, I'm sure, but I'll be sitting this one out. Have fun kidz!
-
Very inauspicious beginning with Train.
Wait, what, it hasn't started yet?
Black Hole Sun ain't from 2005.
And what's this about the "Evolution" coming April 20?
-
Very inauspicious beginning with Train.
I don't think the show has started yet. 10:06 and we just went into "Black Hole Sun", so it sounds like AL may be scrambling to get her clips together. 10@10:10 anyone?
-
And what's this about the "Evolution" coming April 20?
I heard that, too. Nary a clue. But I am guessing it doesn't have anything to do with smoking dope.
-
Well, I don't know what the heck is going on. But at least it's commercial-free. More evolution weirdness.
I think the smoking of the dope may have already started.
-
Black Hole Sun into How Soon Is Now... one almost might be forgiven for thinking
that KFOG still knows how to rawk...
Are we heading for 10 @10:30? I wonder at what point they give up and play an encore.
(Not that I'm particularly looking forward to a 2005 set.)
-

And this time they referred to it as "4-20" so maybe there is an herbal component.
For a sec I thought maybe it was advance warning of a format flip, but they'd be asking for trouble if they tipped the audience that KFOG was going away.
-

what exactly did that "Evolution" thing say? I fear a format change, tho' those don't usually happen on a Wednesday, which is what 4/20 is this year.
-
Sheesh, I have a bad feeling it's gonna be robots on KFOG for the next 20 days. This is weird. And then who knows what.
No info on AL's page.

Just heard another one -- this one included the statement "we're still broadcasting, can anyone hear us?" so maybe this does have to do with some kind of direction change for the station. And it's now 10:28 and no sign of 10@10. Did AL walk out when she heard about whatever this Evolution thing is?
-
OK, this is getting weird. 10:30 and we're still hearing just the usual KFOG mix of currents and 80s hits.
ETA: 10:40 and now we're hearing the music loop that they play when ads are running. So I have to assume that 10@10 ain't happening today.

per 'snipeville, AL said at a gathering over the weekend that they were getting a "new boss" this week. This does not sound good.
I turned on KFOG (apx 10:35) and after a bunch of commercials I got that "Evolution" promo followed by music.
Interestingly, NoName has been absent the last couple of days but neither Renee nor Greg said where he was.

Oy, sounds very bad.

But, as I also pointed out in G-ville, the "End of KFOG as we know it" has been predicted a few times before. Somehow it's survived so far... let's hope...

Someone posted this on the Radio Discussions message board:
"Following the exit of Jim Richards last month, Cumulus Media has hired Brian Schock as new OM/PD at KFOG and KSAN.
Schock most recently served as interim PD/MD of AAA 102.1 KPRI San Diego, which unfortunately was sold last year. He has also programmed two legendary San Diego stations: alternative “91X” and classic rock (like KSAN) KGB. Bryan was the first on-air host and Music Director at AAA 101.9 WRXP New York when it launched in 2009, so it looks like KFOG is thankfully in good hands. "
To which I replied "dunno -- sounds like they just blew it up"
-
I don't really care what happens to KFOG as a whole, but if 10at10 is gone, so am I.

If the new guy is rebranding to make KFOG "younger", there is the possibility 10@10 could move to The Bone (where is is also the new PD). But I'm not hopeful.

This was posted on All Access (a radio industry news site) this morning. That part where the Cumulus suit says "This is a transformational time for KFOG" may be the most telling part of the article:
CUMULUS MEDIA has appointed BRYAN SCHOCK as OM/PD of Classic Rock KSAN (THE BONE) and Triple A KFOG/SAN FRANCISCO, effective APRIL 4th.
SCHOCK has programmed successful radio stations for the past two decades, serving as PD at Classic Rock KGB-F/SAN DIEGO; Alternative XTRA (91X)/SAN DIEGO; Adult Hits KJAC/DENVER; and KNRX (92X)/DENVER. SCHOCK’s 33-year radio career also includes programming and on-air positions at stations including: WRXP/NEW YORK; KNAC/LOS ANGELES; WLZR/MILWAUKEE; WHVY/BALTIMORE; and KCUV/DENVER.
VP/Market Manager JUSTIN WITTMAYER said, “BRYAN’s vision and passion for KFOG and KSAN are unrivaled. This is a transformational time for KFOG. We are confident that his plans will exceed the expectations of both of our audiences.”
SCHOCK said, "I grew up in CALIFORNIA and I LOVE rock music ... talk about landing the perfect gig! I can't wait to take KFOG to new heights in the Triple A world while keeping a hand in my rockin' roots with THE BONE (KSAN). Big thanks go out to JUSTIN WITTMAYER, TROY HANSON, DAVE MILNER and MIKE MCVAY. This is a dream job and I can’t wait to get started."

Maybe KFOG will evolve into San Francisco "Bob"
-
Per urth's post above, I was not aware that the previous PD had left "earlier this year" -- interesting that just around the time he left AL started doing the FB 10@10 request thing again and playing a bunch of bustouts... that can't've been a coinkydink.
-
Alright, I need to put this out of my head and get some work done. What say we move this discussion over to the "KFOG but not 10@10" board, and if anybody hears anything concrete, post it over there, 'k?
-
Unless there was any 2005 content, I guess we should change the subject line?

I suppose, but, it was *going* to be 2005 the day 10@10 died, so maybe it's historically significant...

This isn't some horrible April Fool's joke? :(

Starting promptly at 10pm is an encore of the 1977 show from 24-Mar-16.

Will there be a 10@10 marathon Saturday morning?
ETA: listening and hearing AL's voice during the backsell... I hope she's getting royalties for this!

Doubt it. I don't think Dave ever did.

This question has been posed elsewhere - all I can say is that if it were, it'd be the lamest of 4/1 jokes, a category for which there is stiff competition.

that's really weird and I have to assume it was a computer error -- if they're trying to erase the airstaff why play old 10@10s? (note that it was last Thursday's set.)

I think the key phrase is 'computer error', which may be a harbinger of how awful the Devolution will be.
