5 May 2015: it's... 1980

[RGMike]

AL must have loaded up her backpack with nuggets from the record cellar. She mentioned last week that she doesn't have the vast KFOG music library to draw from any more -- a lot of it got jettisoned when they relocated from Hawthorne St. So most anything we hear that's a deep cut, it's probably off her own record.

You're kidding...they thinned out their music library? Lame!

Physical media is so 1998.

I don't think they got rid of digitized songs so much as they haven't loaded them into the new system yet. But anything that was CD-or-vinyl only, yeah, I suspect that's gone to various deejay's personal collections. And we know AL's was already considerable. I'm sure the Fools song came from home.

And I'm going out on a limb and suggesting they did not offer the discards to Fogheads.

not over the air, but iirc they mentioned taking crates of CDs to some outdoor event they were at.

uber-BOS5 Broooooooooce "Sherry Darling".  this is the 3rd or 4th 'snipe request today.

Do we need to guess who requested this one?

(It is a pretty great song, one we could certainly hear a little more often. BOS for me, too.)

astoundingly it appears to be our second bustout.

Seriously? I could swear it's another of those "once, five years ago" songs.

But this Mink Deville tune, if it's not a bustout I'd be gobsmacked.

Went old-school and took a look at the Shraytabase, which told me that we did indeed hear Sherry Darling once before, on May 25 of 2004. I guess it was due.

(That was before we moved the board to this platform, so not going to surface any search results here.)

it is indeed. The non-East-Coasters in snipeland were baffled by this one and The Fools. 

Okay, which Mink DeVille tune did AL spin today?  I requested "Mazurka", so I'm curious to see if she actually played my request.
