The New 10@10 / 20 June 2016 -- it's 1975!
« on: June 20, 2016, 09:57:41 AM »
Potential for some good stuff here. But I got a guy coming by at 10:30 to get a truck we are selling, so will probably listen at 11 or so.

The New 10@10 / 3 June 2016: It's 1979!

This has always been one of the most diverse years of the later 70s, thanks to the rise of new wave & punk. I'll be curious to hear how DW interprets it.

Buried in work at the moment, will listen later today.
Btw Rod, I get your point about the imperative of *having* to listen at 10 if you wanted to hear the show. An intangible urgency there, but I like being able to listen on my own schedule too.

Stream of Consciousness / Post-10@10: what are you listening to instead?
« on: April 01, 2016, 10:32:03 AM »
Thought I'd give the Sound's version a try today, but it's pretty much as I remember it. Lots of obvious songs and nothing too deep.
Will probably be spending more time at WTF going forward. Hey, I've never really listened to whatever they program in the 1pm (ET) slot.

KFOG's 10@10 / 26 Feb 2016: it's...1973!!!!
« on: February 26, 2016, 09:19:59 AM »
Just heard a promo, which hinted that it was the year Nixon said "I am not a crook" and Bruce released his debut album. That sez '73 to me.

The late Supreme Court Justice's unexpected death throws a whole new spin on the implications of the upcoming elections.

It will indeed be interesting to see whether the Right follows through on its threat to reject any and all Obama appointments until a new President is sworn in. But that would mean the court would remain a 4-4 ideological tie for over a year, and it certainly would not reflect well on them in the coming election cycle.
