3 Mar 2014: it's... 1982

[RGMike]

I'm confused: are we getting a "classic" today or a new set?

ETA: classics, except for the Mardi Gras set tomo'w.  "Lots of '80s this week" sez RR. Oh joy.

1982: starting with "Town Called MaLNice"

But I don't get it. She's there, why doesn't she make new ones?

But I don't get it. She's there, why doesn't she make new ones?

So she can compose a week's worth of witty reparté for her morning show gig!

Renee: BOS Asia

I kid you not!

This morning Renee said she took BOS votes even though this was replay, and the BOS
winner was... Asia, again.

I kid you not!

This morning Renee said she took BOS votes even though this was replay, and the BOS
winner was... Asia, again.

Sometimes I swear she just announces whatever song she feels like as BOS, regardless of how voting went (if she even keeps track in the first place). Oh well, only 4 more sets.

One of the things I'm curious about (and would be able to discover with a true 10@10 database)
is the distribution of BOS among the ten songs.  At times it seems like only tracks later in the
set get the most votes, as if people have already forgotten the earlier entries.

That's definitely been the case in the RR era. Seems like it's quite frequently either #9 or #10, which is partly why I suspect she's not really tallying votes.  When DM was still doing the set, I noticed that Super Hit 6 was often BOS for the day. I always thought that was because Dave stacked the deck and played a song that he felt the listeners would go for in that slot, and in most cases he was right.
