BOS2 Smooth Smokey, "Baby Baby Don't Cry"
I missed the explanation for low tech 10@10? wha?
He said "everything is broken". Computers all down. No fancy stuff.
That's odd -- I always assumed 10@10 was not computer dependent -- hand-made, as it were. Jingles on carts, etc. Whatever, the tunes are fab.
Probably was that way 'til KFOG put everything on hard disk a few years ago, but this seems to indicate all of Dave's jingles, clips, beds, bumpers, and even Don Pardo are currently residing on the company servers. (Althought I'd bet DM has safety copies of everything in his home studio.)
The meltdown itself was pretty funny. About 9:40 or so, Dave intro'd something from the new Who album. We heard about two notes of it, then dead air--for a good 30 or 40 seconds. Dave broke back in, laughing about "the first computer meltdown of '07" and there was some banter with Irish Greg and obvious shuffling of CDs in the background, then Dave said, "Not to diss the new Who, but this Who is much much better" and then played "I Can See for Miles."
Then when it came time for the set to begin, Dave did a live read of the station ID, Greg sang "let's do the Time Warp aga-a-a-a-a-a-in" (badly) and Dave explained that only the two CD players and the turntable were functional, so they'd be forced to do "the best year" entirely manually on 10@10.
And yeah, it sounded to me like he was having fun doing it that way, too. Hope the replay tonight has all that stuff as it happened.
