« on: January 20, 2016, 07:52:33 PM »Looks like this hasn't been mentioned here, but Big Rick has been cashiered from his afternoon drive shift and is only doing weekends and fill-in at KFOX as of a week or two ago. No idea who's taken his slot, but a drag for him. Regarding the KFOG playlist, I still fondly recall him once saying "I don't write the menu, I just serve the food."
Tim Jeffries and Rick effectively swapped gigs -- Tim's doing the Weekdays and Rick is weekends. He said on FB that this was his choice, so that he can do more "community work" or something.
Tim had a short retirement. "I am afraid my days of working in corporate radio are over" will go down as this century's "Read my lips: no new taxes!"

In Memoriam, Happy Birthday / Re: RIP David Bowie
« on: January 16, 2016, 09:28:33 PM »This one is especially hard. He seemed outside of time. I never imagined a world without Bowie.
Which is dumb, of course. He wasn't an elf, immortal and magical. Maybe I read too much fantasy...
Given that I read too much fantasy, my lasting impression is of Bowie as "elven". Slightly alien, constantly casting illusions, he was always questing towards ... whatever the f*ck elves quest for. The next magical thing, I guess. He started his own ISP - that was pretty cool. It's only a metaphor.
Anyway, if he makes it to the Grey Havens, he can hang out with Frodo.
Seriously, though, RIP David. I don't even know how to deal.
Well said

KFOG's 10@10 / Re: 8 Dec 2015: It's... John Lennon Remembered
« on: December 08, 2015, 10:33:28 AM »5. Crippled Inside
6. Whatever Gets You Through The Night
I don't have a problem with Crippled Inside, but WGYTTN is as close to an LN as we've heard so far.
Expecting that #10 will be Happy Xmas, so we have three more wild cards. Let's hope for all aces.
Imagine is the most prominent Lennon standard, so I imagine we'll hear that.

« on: November 14, 2015, 08:48:18 AM »Tuned in just in time for a Spinal Tap click and the Kinks, Living on a Thin Line. Not one of their more notable songs, but a VHM nonetheless.
But employed very well in a memorable Sopranos episode

There are a lot of good choices from that album. Bone Machine and Gigantic both got airplay at the time.

« on: October 16, 2015, 10:42:40 AM »a '60s set would make it a 5-decade week. But I'm not holding my breath.
I guess 1988.
ooo... so close! "greed is good" in 1987
I don't know why I'm taking into account how long it's been since a year has been played. As you've pointed out, the person who is picking the sets doesn't care.
