There are some good thoughts being expressed here but too much of this set is sounding like the regular KFOG playlist (John Mayer, New Rads, Foo Fighters).

I think the Joey tune will likely be the vote I actually cast.

nice enough song, but not quite sure what accoustic Foo Fighters is doing here.  (ETA: especially if we don't get Timbuk3  :evil:  )

Once again Dave makes a big deal about getting suggestions on his blog & then ignores half of them.  At least we got "To Sir..."

LOL!  Nice tongue in cheek selection - "It's Money That Matters"

I think he asked on-air for e-mail suggestions, so no telling what else he got.

I know, I know.  But not getting Timbuk3 gives me the crankypanyts!  Mulitple votes on his blog for it.

Yeah, no My Old School or Closer to Fine either. Dave actually avoided a number of what I thought were unavoidable choices.

I think I missed the bonus track--anyone hear what it was?

my 10@10 story
« Reply #39 on: June 15, 2007, 11:31:38 AM »
so, today I was a little slow getting out of the house to go to the office, and Martha was packing up some boxes of our oldest son's stuff (he lives nearby, is 29, and is unlikely to move back in.) for me to take over to his house on my way.  10@10 is playing, and 'Sunscreen' starts on the way over.  I'm a pretty sappy guy, and among the items in Jesse's boxes are things like his photo keychain from his high school prom, and such.  I fear that he will not care as much about some of these things at this point in his life as he might later.  I'm in a perfectly receptive mood for the lyrics to 'Sunscreen' at this point.  When I see Jesse, I show him the keychain, and tell him that if he were my father, I wouldn't want him to throw this away!  What a sap I've become!

As I drove on to the office, Listening to 'To Sir With Love' made me reflect on my first full year as a full-time teacher, and how I'm moving on to another school next year.

'Teach Your Children' is always nice.  Always dig Garcia's pedal steel  work.

OMGWTF!  It's the Natalie Merchant and Michael Stipe version of "To Sir With Love"!  Dave scores a few points, though Lulu would have been grand.


He got that from me on his blog -- I said I'd prefer Lulu, so naturally he plays Stipe/Merchant.  Just from what I've read so far, I second Mark's comment -- Dave asks for suggestions and then plays whatever he wants.

Too much resonance of "Deteriorata" in "Sunscreen," I'm thinking now.


Am I the only one who actually likes it? It's a wonderfully well-written piece, IMHO. Yes, I know it wasn't Vonnegut (as was the rumor), but it did begin life as a newspaper op-ed piece iirc.  Clearly Luhrman was going for a Desiderata/Deteriorata feel (if that wasn't his model, I'd be amazed), but it's the words that carry the day.

BOS Joey Ramone, however -- my memorial service closer, right after The Kinks' "Days" makes everybody cry.

Razsty would beg to differ -- gawd how he hates Ms Merchant.

Unless you were referring to Michael Stipe as "she"... :wink:

BTW, final thought: how many 22-year-olds (the target demo of this particular set) actually, y'know, listen to KFOG?
