indeed, Dave played it at least twice (ETA: once in '97 and once in "Guilty Pleasures) but I couldn't get AL to do it.

My files show Dave played it on January 4, 2008 (A "Brand New" Year....1997!!!) -- his only
1997 set.  Annalisa played it on June 29, 2012, in a "Guilty Pleasures" set.

Oy vey: WOS Aqua, "Barbie Girl", but still, it's a non-KFOG pop record so that's a good sign IMHO.

OMFG. Been requesting it forever, but I go on vacation yesterday and now she plays it.  (Didn't Dave play this in his '97 set too?)

I believe he did.  Interesting that we got '90s 2 days in a row (a rarity for *any* decade to appear back-to-back with itself) and in both sets we got at least one out-of-format pop record.  Still a few too many LNs for me but this may be the trade-off.

4 (or 5) in common with Tuesday's set. And the others don't exactly distinguish this set - Third Eye Blind in particular, a rather dull Springsteen track, and the ever-LN "All For You". "Barely Breathing" used to be a HAC staple (and for awhile KFOG played it to death too), which leaves us with Crow (which frankly I'm ok with) and Paula Cole. If this were played today, we'd be screaming.

uber-LN "Naked Eye".

FF for sure, but where can one hear this nowadays? Probably not on Alice anymore.

Answer: on Live 105 at 6am today.

Should I be happy or sad that I'm missing today's set?

unless you love Hanson or "Barbie Girl" I'd say you're lucky to be away, Cap'n.

Should be interesting to see who gets BOS today.

So who did get BOS?
