26 Aug 2009: WTF?? it's 1970?? Oh, a '70s VT...

[RGMike]

Sheesh, speaking of songs we've heard "a whole lot" -- I'm feeling Knack-ered.

It's not "Do You Think I'm Sexy" (aka, worst song ever), so I'm okay with it.

lucky for you, "DYTIS" was #1 at New Years (iirc).

[Tinka Cat]

Mshray just called me (his BOS1 goes to Argent, and BOS2 to Foreigner) and wanted me to tell you that he phone AL to suggest a bonus track question:
"The Dave Mathhew Band Song Funny the Way it is -- which is heavy rotation on KFOG --  mentions one of the songs from todays set. Which song does it mention?"

eta: shray called back to say AL will almost certainly use that bonus Q.  Apparently she decided his quesion was better than her original:

name some things in Mungo Jerry Song that are absolutely WRONG things to do in proper society...  like just not wise for you or your karma.. for instance:

Have a drink, have a drive
..
If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel

etc...

[Davefish]

Eek, Emotional Rescue.  I shaved my legs for this???

[RGMike]

Yeesh!-factor continues: bonus is Mick on his fine ah-rahb chahhh-jahhh.

That's 3 in a row.  AL's treading on thin ice with me 

*crosses fingers for 1998 tomorrow*

actually, '98 and '88 are the only years she has not done since taking over -- so in that sense, I'm rooting for ya. She systematically checked off every other year from '64 thru '99 and then started repeating. Which means that (in theory) we only get each year every 2 months, thanks to the addition of years Dave rarely-or-never did and one theme set per week.  Although, for whatever reason, we got '74 twice in 3 weeks.

It'll be interesting to see how frequently years get repeated from here on. I'm wondering if she didn't go thru nearly every year without repeating just to get her feet wet, as sort of a self-imposed initiation or something. But now that she's done it we might start getting to hear some years more frequently. But she doesn't seem shy about visiting the 70s, or venturing further back in the 60s than Dave ever did, so I'm not too worried that we're going to start getting 90s sets three times a week (sorry, Radical!).

Too bad Shray's contribution got 86'd as the bonus question. Maybe next time.

she prolly figured it was too easy, given that they play that DMB song 87 times a week

[Tinka Cat]

OK, I was an uncool music geek. I had Rita Coolidge records when I was a kid. There I said it.

I suggest you close the window and calm the light.  You'll feel better soon.

ha!  I always thought she was singing "Close the window, come alive"

[Big Fingers McGee]

I've been urgently waiting for a girl like you to let me know what love is. That was yesterday - say (what) you will, but I don't want to live without you until the end of time.

[Big Fingers McGee]

Kind of a disappointing set - I'll give BOS to War, WOS to Wings.
