Love both the song and vid for "Don't Come Around Here No More". Nice production by Dave Stewart, might I add.

This isn't one of my fave Huey Lewis & The News songs, but I like them anyway (for different reasons than RG).

'93 was a fabulous year in music...in England!

I mean, really...it's day one. Isn't there a 90 day probationary period when you start a job? Christ.

« on: May 26, 2012, 08:10:15 AM »sundaygal and I invaded the KFOG studio yesterday (actually we were invited... well, actually one was invited and one tagged along, heheh). It was pretty nice being there. My first time in a real big radio station! (thanks SG!)
AL was pretty accommodating, showing us all sorts of high-tech things, like the touch screen that brings up the sound FX for 10at10's the BeeepBoopBoop time machine sound, the choral "Ten At Ten!" inserts, the list of news and TV clips she has (I was *this close* to looking for the Bosom Buddies "Sunny Sunny Sunny" clip and erasing that bastard!). Super cool. The KFOG playlist is all digitized. The A-Z comes from a disc drive mostly. If they needed to, they could pop in a CD, but a station like KFOG w a defined (?) format has all that stuff digitized for easy access. Their CD library in the studio takes up one wall, full of Mark Knopfler, Steely Dan, Stones, etc. You know the drill. I espied the Kinks "Muswell Hillbillies" CD and thought of Urth, a true Twentieth/Twenty First Century Man. (I also saw their Train CD collection and naturally thought of all the deep sadness in the world.)
Renee was there, too. DC was around, heard his voice I think, but no face time w him.
We also got to meet the new morning show jock, Tony! Not surprisingly, he was pretty nice as SG as I chatted with him, I mean grilled him, about things, like what kind of music he liked.
SG: Ok, quick: Your top five bands.
Tony (without pause): Billy Joel.
Mike prob has a crush on him already! HAHAH
Me: The last concert you attended as a FAN...?
T: Green Day. I drove three hours to see them. (He used to live in Kentucky, and he was used to, he said, "people putting their firearms on the table.")
I asked him how man different fart SFX the morning show would have. He answered "probably a dozen." (kidding! he said "only two or three...") ok, seriously, no fart SFX will be heard. I asked him about "Twitch" and (I think, anyway) he was pretty careful to imply that was his OLD self.
He's not too keen on certain popular "gimmicky" (I think he used that word, didn't he?) 80s music, and he cited one of the XM Satellite 80s stations -- the one that plays the pop hits, -- as something he didn't really like. (Frankly I would probably agree with him on some of that. That particular station isn't that earth-shattering and they play the obvious.)
I get the feeling he's pretty liberal. He seems to be in his mid 30s, married w a brand new baby. Thinks Florida is full of weirdos. Could be worse!
I love it that TC skimmed over the fact that during the visit he mentioned Rush at every given moment possible. Good gawd.

Lighting the corners of my mind, Dred played P.M. Dawn's "Set Adrift On Memory Bliss". (!)
