Request thread is up.

Request thread is up.

and a rather paltry thread it was, considering it was posted early in the evening.  And what up with FP? he requested Fastball and Lucinda Williams with 2 of the biggest FFs of that year.  No doubt we'll hear both.    I'll be skipping this one.

I've noticed that there is a bit of a lag whenever AL returns from vacation. It appears that many of her listeners forget there is a thread to begin with. I guess I'm not overly surprised.

"The Way" is in the "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" class of songs that were cool to listen to, the first billion times I heard them. I thought for a good while that Lucinda Williams would've ridden the coattails of Sheryl Crow's success, but that didn't quite happen. Nice to listen to every blue moon.

The Lucinda tune has come in-and-out of vogue on KFOG in the intervening years -- there have been times, depending on the PD, when it has been in heavy "recurrent" rotation.  I like her, but I always put the song in that category of "artists KFOG played because they sounded exactly like someone else they already play" -- in this case, Bonnie Raiit. There are probably still Fogheads who think it's Bonnie.

TOTHK - Harvey Danger "Flagpole Sitta"

[CapnJack]

Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas ---> Sheryl Crow "There Goes The Neighborhood"

[Big Fingers McGee]

So far, two songs that I very much associate from 1998: Harvey Danger from Live 105/Alice, and "There Goes The Neighborhood", which features a line about wing-ding, and KFOG exploited that fact to death.

TOTHK - Harvey Danger "Flagpole Sitta"

I'm thinking this one has been in at least 75% of '98 sets...

More Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas (with a snatch of Tom Jones "She's A Lady") ---> Beck "Tropicalia"

wow, remember the annual Wing-Ding (and its associated 10@10s?)

Speaking of KFOG shameless self-promotion, they're announcing Concert for Kidz next week -- apparently there'll be  more than one show this year.

Cool song, especially with that soda straw squeaky instrument. (What's that called?)

More Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas ---> R.L. Burnside "It's Bad You Know"

Gracias!

No love for R. L. Burnside. I don't know if I've ever heard this song on regular radio, but it was in heavy rotation on RadioParadise for a while.

Bill Clinton ---> Smash Mouth "Can't Get Enough Of You Baby"
