Stream of Consciousness / Pinfield's Playlist
« on: May 19, 2016, 12:16:36 PM »
So they've been doing this bit around 8:30-9:30AM where Matt digs through his "deep musical collection and knowledge and playlists" to make some "amazing" pick relating to the topic of the day.

Let's take a look, eh? (BTW if anybody happens to know what they played on May 10, 11, and 16, I'd appreciate being able to fill this in. I'm looking at my playlist and nothing jumps out at me, all of the songs played during that timeframe seem to be from the main playlist. So *maybe* they were rare enough to not be recognized by TuneGenie? Seems pretty damn unlikely though.)

May 19, 2016 - Joey Ramone's Birthday: "What a Wonderful World"

May 18, 2016 - #SongsAboutGold: "Golden Years" by Bowie

May 17, 2016 - #HallandOates: "I Can't Go For That" (with an overly long intro and then like only 10 seconds of the excellent Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers Van Sessions cover) (Also, they were giving tickets away to Hall & Oates show at Concord Pavilion)

May 16, 2016 - ?

May 13, 2016 - #Fridaythe13th: "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk (with overly long intro re: the great Nile Rodgers, yes yes, we know)

May 12, 2016 - #BiketoWorkDay: Infamous pick "Fat Bottom Girls" by Queen (as opposed to the "obvious" pick of "Bicycle")

May 11, 2016 - Hear a song & a story about something that barely exists anymore. ??
- I'm guessing it's a payphone.

May 10, 2016 - Garage Rock Songs & their Covers: ??
- Was it "Big Yellow Taxi" by Joni? Ok, that's weird. Then again, it did follow Jewel's "You Were Meant for Me". Oh, that's probably when they had Jewel on. Weird!

May 9, 2016 - Whistling Songs: "Games Without Frontiers" by Peter Gabriel?
- Yeah, probably this. I believe the pattern is they play the pick early in the morning and then repeat it later. In this case it was spun at ~6:51AM and then later at ~8:45AM. There's a line in this song, "Whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle". So... yeah, ok.

Capital Gold, other Internet Radio / KTKE - Truckeetahoeradio.com

So we were up in Tahoe this weekend and I tuned into KTKE, a local station that I've always enjoyed when we were up there in the winter.

They didn't disappoint. On the way back to the hotel after seeing Michael Franti, they played a new song off of the Paul Simon album that *wasn't* the same one KFOG has been playing to death. Nice. Then they played a version of Van Morrison "Crazy Love" that I still haven't been able to i.d. (Their playlist only goes back about 3 hours. Time to write another script...)

So yesterday I got the fine folks at Receiva to add them to their database, and now my Livio Internet Radio can tune them in. Tuned in tonight and heard "Under Pressure"... ok. A little later heard a Red Hot Chili Peppers song that I hadn't heard in a while, "By The Way", and then they played Train's new song, then Geggy Tah's "Whoever You Are" (a little dorky, but I love that song), then The Sam Roberts Band "The Last Crusade" (?), then ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man", then Shawn Mullins "Beautiful Wreck" then Jimi's "Purple Haze"?

Yeah, kind of all over the place. But I like it. I think it's something KFOG could aspire to, in terms of mix.

Funny observance about Phil Spector's Christmas album:

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2008

Question of the Day

So when Phil Spector put out A Christmas Gift for You back in 1963, was it free? If it wasn't, shouldn't it have been called A Christmas Gift for You to Buy and Give to Somebody Else?
Alas, most of the Youtube links for older posts have fallen victim to takedown notices.  Idiots.

Stream of Consciousness / Goodbye to Dave's era of 10@10's

Sorry, Annalisa-haters...

OTOH, they're very explicitly soliciting suggestions.  Well, step up, folks.

Thursday, May 28, 2009

Dear Foghead,

Thank you for a terrific start to a very unique year.  Because of you, we came together for a spectacular night of fireworks at KaBoom, donated over $300,000 to Bay Area Food Banks through Live From the Archives and soon we'll devote a full month celebrating some of the Bay Area's best during Local Music Month.  We say it often because it's true...we couldn't do it without you.

It's also been a year of change for all of us.  Our beloved Dave Morey is now happily retired.  And while our wish was to have Dave continue as host, his commitment to 10@10 will wrap up this month.  Coincidentally, the incomparable Don Pardo has also announced his retirement (at age 91!).  As you can imagine, this will mean a few changes to KFOG's 10@10.

As always, we look to you, Fogheads, for your input. 

KFOG's 10@10 will continue to deliver 10 great songs from one great year covering everything from the '60s to today.  We'll add in a lot of your favorite 10@10s including classic 10@10s from over the years, Foghead 10@10 sets handpicked by you, as well as themed 10@10s voted by you.  And it will be you, the Fogheads, who will vote each 10@10's "Best of Set."

And we found the perfect host to introduce each day's 10@10 while allowing the music, news and additional audio highlights speak for themselves.  Drum roll, please.

Starting Monday, June 1st, our very own Annalisa will take the baton as your new host for KFOG's 10@10.  (She'll also continue as KFOG Midday Host on KFOG 104.5/97.7.)

You may already know this but Annalisa is a self-proclaimed music junkie, a phenomenal lady and she couldn't be more excited!  Most importantly, she wants to hear from you.


So tell us and Annalisa ... what would you like to hear on KFOG's 10@10? Email us at fogheademail@kfog.com.

10@10 is a Foghead tradition as much as it's been a KFOG tradition.  We're looking forward to hearing your contributions as we grow 10@10 in the days ahead.   You can also email good wishes to Annalisa.  (It's always great to have support from friends when starting a new gig!)

Include your name and mailing address.we'll send you a KFOG New Music Sampler as a small token of our thanks for your input.  (While supplies last.)

Thanks, again, Fogheads.  Now, who can guess which year Annalisa will pick for her first 10@10?  We'll find out together on Monday!

Love,
KFOG

love your 10at10 index, thanks for the service!! my girlfriend told me she heard a 10 at 10 a few years ago where the songs were all about california. i've been opening your links one at a time to search (for "california" of course), but that's very tedious. if you could please do a search and find the date when that
 aired, we'd really appreciate it - i believe you could do it in a few seconds(?)

Sounds like a job for the Shraytabase.  I've sent him a link to this thread.

Closest I could find was this.  Not really right:

   01/12/2007 - FRIDAY!!! A good day for...1971!!

   1. Rare Earth - Celebrate
   2. James Brown - Make it Funky
   3. Led Zeppelin - Goin' to California
   4. Joni Mitchell - California
   5. Graham Nash - Military Madness
   6. Guess Who - Albert Flasher
   7. Beach Boys - Surf's Up
   8. Rod Stewart - Reason to Believe (BEST OF SET!!)
   9. Cat Stevens - Tuesday's Dead
   10. Jackson 5 - Never Can Say Goodbye

Grace Potter:  "Nothing But The Water"

Homepage:  http://www.gracepotter.com/

Heard on KFOG around 9PM tonight with very little talk-up from Big Rick (or maybe I missed it).  22-year old Vermont woman with a voice that reminds me of Joan Osborne.  I need to hear more, but what I heard on the radio sounded great.

Hey -- so I know there's KPIG listeners here, and its various virtues have been discussed previously.

Do any of you listen to Radio Paradise, run by the guy who set up KPIG to stream early on?  http://www.radioparadise.com/

Big Rick's website had a link to an article about another "one man's labor of love" station based in Arizona:

http://www.southflorida.com/news/la-fi-kcdx1may01,0,1769239.story?coll=sfe-guide-headlines

Free stream at:  http://www.kcdx.com/

Pretty cool so far:

1:19 pm - Huey Lewis And The News - Who Cares
1:23 pm - John Mellencamp - Human Wheels
1:28 pm - The Police - Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
1:32 pm - The Beatles - Get Back
1:36 pm - Electric Light Orchestra - Hold On Tight
1:39 pm - Poco - A Right Along
1:43 pm - Greg Kihn - Testify

Whaddya think?

Stream of Consciousness / Fun stats
« on: May 02, 2006, 02:38:42 PM »
Anybody here like stats?  Ultimately it'd be better if I could figure out what tracks were "new", but that's beyond my feeble programming skills.

For instance, for April, here were the top 10 spins (first # = number of times played during the month):

81 U2      ORIGINAL OF THE SPECIES How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
75 Death Cab for Cutie     CROOKED TEETH   Plans
73 Jack Johnson    UPSIDE DOWN     Curious George Soundtrack
73 SANTANA I DON%27T WANT TO LOSE YOU
71 Hard-Fi CASH MACHINE    Cash Machine EP
57 Ben Harper      BETTER WAY      Both Sides of the Gun
55 Susan Tedeschi  LOVING YOU IS SWEETER TH        Hope and Desire
51 INXS    AFTERGLOW       Switch
49 MARK KNOPFLER AND EMMYLO        THIS IS US
47 Jackie Greene   I%27M SO GONE   American Myth

Anybody interested in previous months?
