Hopefully this will make Dave proud.

AL has been out-doing Dave with '60s sets, I daresay. But lo, she begins with a Moreytrina: "Do It Again".

For those who are interested, the AV Club has an interesting article about the 17 Weirdest Songs by the Beach Boys.
-
OMFG! BOS Spankymama and Our Gang-o-Papas, "I'd Like To Get To Know You".
-
Ok, this might not be as on point as I'd first thought, but what would be the record for shortest 10@10? Longest? Has it ever gone past 11?
My initial guesses would be:
1) The 60's Soul Patrol sets are pretty short
2) The "Earth Day" 10@10 with a guest host at least approached a full hour.

BOS2 John Fred, eating "lemonade pie" in a brand new car -- watch the upholstery!

OMFG! BOS Spankymama and Our Gang-o-Papas, "I'd Like To Get To Know You".
Very Fifth-Dimension-esque coda on this version that I've never heard before.
VHM John Fred and his Playboy Band.

BOS for "Judy in Disguise". Awfully silly, but haven't heard it in a while.

I'll have to check this out.
VHM to Spanky & Our Gang, a former 3WS staple.

BOS Steppenwolf, even if it's something of a Katrina. A pick-me-up.

VHM Steve McQueen

dunno its status in the shraytabase, but it is easily one of the 4 or 5 most-overplayed oldies evah -- right up there with "Brown-Eyed Girl" and "Happy Together"

fab set so far. I loved the Spanky song, I really dig that soft cocktail singers vibe from the 60s,
like the stuff from The Free Design:

I have to say the trailer for Bullitt might be better than the movie, chase scene notwithstanding. It's pretty slow moving overall.

everything from that era seems "slow-moving" compared to the video-game/ADD editing style that is the norm nowadays.

Shortest: Can't name any specific sets, but we've had a number of mid-60s sets (65, 66, 67) that were pretty short--barely cracking 30 minutes, iirc.
Longest: Dave's annual Foghead Christmas Card sets usually went pretty long, around 50 minutes or so.
More than 11: This one I can cite specifically. On March 6, 2002, Dave ended a 1974 set with Genesis' Back in NYC>Hairless Heart>Counting Out Time from The Lamb as Tune No. 10, but technically stretching to 12 songs " 'cause you really can't break those up."
We've also had a couple of 9-song sets in which Dave got distracted and played one too few songs.

nope, I don't think it's that. I'm generally not a fan of what you're describing, for the record. I just think Bullitt didn't hold my interest like I wanted it to. It's such a seminal movie, creat chase scene, Steve McQueen in SF, etc., it would seem to have everything, but it doesn't hit on all cylinders.

Yep, that was it.

In my humble opinion, whatever that may be worth, is that Bullitt is far more exciting than 95% of what comes out nowadays, even more than 40 years later.
And, in what other movie can you see the Embarcadero Freeway?
-
BOS to S&G, come to look for America. I wonder if they were glad when they found it.
-

Dirty Harry?
BOS3 S&G -- another Moreytrina but i'm not complaining.

Thanks urth! Although, I actually meant "Ran past 11AM". I do remember the 10/12 set from 1974.

Marlboro country --> Johnny Cash! BOS4 "Folsom Prison Blues"; what did I say the other day about AL not being afraid to play country? Bless her li'l pea-pickin' heart!

White country man sings about killing a man just to watch him die = storytelling legend
Black hip-hopper rap about killing a man = thug

good call. I believe Dirty Harry also features the Lefty O'Doul Bridge (aka Third street Bridge near King Street right next to the ballpark). btw, that bridge is also visible in one of the Coit Tower Murals.
(btw, I'll be doing a tour of the Coit Murals this Saturday at 11 AM. It's one of the many FREE tours offered by the SF City Guides -- http://sfcityguides.org)

Lefty O'Doul Bridge
Also in A View To A Kill. In spite of the location, I felt the best thing about that last Roger Moore-as-Bond movie was the theme song.

OMFG! Dark Shadows!! BOS5
BOS6 Jimi.

don't get me started on why that's an oversimplification ;)

It's an oversimplification, but it's also a double standard. White musicians are considered to be intelligent enough to sing "in character," while black rappers get no such benefit of the doubt.

it's a double standard only up to a point. Rock and country have the occasional violent lyric (probably less than 10% of all hit rock/pop/country songs are about people killing people). Gangsta Rap's raison d'etre is violence (either "documenting" it or advocating it, depending on your POV), hence its reputation.

BOS: Johnny Cash, Folsom Prison Blues.
Sodden Thought: Always wondered why, if the protagonist shot a man in Nevada, he was imprisoned in California? Small things...
BOS2, Stones, stayin' close to their roots.
Aside: On the plane from DC last night, the movie was "It Might Get Loud", a real music-geekfest juxtaposing Jimmy Page, the Edge, and Jack White. Made my flight much more enjoyable, but the kids who were expecting to see Harry Potter (which had been announced) weren't so happy.

Yeah, loved that docu -- it didn't do too well theatrically, and is not on the short-list for the Best Docu Oscar (neither is Anvil!). The vintage clips (most of which were NTM) were just tremendous.

I think Mike is right in that gangsta-rap that continually glorifies the thug life is worse overall than the occasional violent lyric in country music, but it should be noted that after Johnny sings the line "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die" a whole buncha rednecks start a-whoopin' and a-hollerin'. They're prob the same kind of dudes that get could be (of have been?) violent against minorities.
OK, enough over thinking it. The song rocks!

It would be interesting to do a test: Have Rob Zombie cover "Cop Killer", and have James Ingram cover "Folsom County Blues", and observe what happens.
