In Memoriam, Happy Birthday / Re: RIH Rush Limbaugh

« on: February 20, 2021, 05:59:10 AM »

I have a FB friend who typically acknowledges deaths with a "Thank you, so and so". In this case it's "Good Riddance".

And I believe this is our first RIH since one of the Kock dickheads.

Huh - Greg decided to post this as "Dave Morey's 10@10 Valentine Day?" today:

> There's more questions than answers when it comes to this truly bizarre 10@10, one that's ostensibly a Valentine's set. We've no idea when it first aired but we're guessing the mid 80's? With barely a recognizable tune in here and the fact that it includes the uncensored "Don't Fuck Around with Love" by the Blenders, one has to wonder who was in charge back then!? Anyway, we hope you enjoy and have a wonderful Valentine's weekend!

Should we tell him it's a "fan 10@10"? Maybe he knows?

There's a Geico commercial where Build Me Up Buttercup (originally charted by The Foundations)
is sung by its characters as a kind of call-and-response. I was a little puzzled that they would
use a song more than fifty years old for this, as I would suspect that few of their target demographic
had ever heard this song. (I know that Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline is better known for the
call-and-response treatment, but it's been played at sporting events for over twenty years.)
[clickety-clickety] I see that BMUB was on the soundtrack for Mallrats. I don't know how it was
used in that film, but that might explain its expected familiarity with the intended audience.

How about There’s Something About Mary?

It's one of those songs whose place in "Tier 2 canon" somewhat mystifies me. I'm thinking 'Late 60's pop that is not overly syrupy, yet not inaccessible'. Back when bar trivia was a thing, it was part of our host's rotation.

Regional 10@10's across the time zones! / Re: Analysis of the 10@10s / 9@9s 5/1-6/5 (1-month sample)

And Norfolk Bob is the only to have played from 5 different decades, which is true to the spirit of the concept, IMHO. Three of the classic rock stations play ONLY 70's and 80's, which probably plays to certain crowds a bit better.

I'm still trying to figure out what they're doing, though. They have put a lot of effort into sweepers that are pandering to local-ness (i.e. a millenial-sounding girl's voice saying "I like to walk my dog at Golden Gate Park and see a show at the Balboa Theater!!" and using the tagline "uniquely San Francisco"

ROTFL!!!

Seriously though, it never ceases to amaze me that there are people out there who, upon hearing what 96.5 HD-2 is all about, would get super-excited about it. I'm just not sure that they'd be listening to HD-2, unless they're led there by an acquaintance that is slightly more with it. So many questions!
