22 February 2008--10@10 goes to the movies!

[urth]

They've been taking suggestions all morning on the Morning Show. I trust Dave has the sense to shelve the ones for songs from John Hughes movies.

ETA: And I see by looking at the Shraytabase that this has been a regular theme set for the last several years--this one will be the fourth consecutive edition. I'd totally forgotten.

I dunno -- that's KFOG's "target demo" writ large.

There were some good suggestions this morning. Wonder Boys has some good options.

Looking at the lists of the last three years, tho, there are a couple of songs that could be left out--several songs have been played 2 out of three years (If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out; Celluloid Heroes; Streets of Philadelphia) and Misirlou has 100% attendance--all three years. But surprisingly, none from any John Hughes films. So either I have nothing to worry about, or they're overdue.

Okay, now in your best Don Pardo voice: "10at10 goes to the movies!" "Big Don likes it loud!" "And now the long version!" "For hits like that, who ya gonna call?"

UH-OH! KFOG stream not working -- neither their player nor the WM link on our page. WTF?

[urth]

Uh-oh indeed. Not good timing. I'll be crossing my fingers for ya, if not, I'll provide play-by-play.

I got it to work from the KFOG main page.

Forgot it was his birthday, but we sure got the whole gamut of quotes early.

from both sources I get a web page for "com.org" (?!?) indicating the web address has expired/is available for purchase. Why would that only happen to me -- a WM player that's not working I could understand, but this?

I had no problem with the stream.  Happy B-Day, Big Daddy Don!  (Did Dave actually play a set of songs from his birth year once, or is that another invented memory of mine?)

Try clearing your cache. Got to Tools > Internet options, then under Temporary internet files, hit "delete files"

Dave long ago played a set from like 1948 on April fools day, but I doubt even Dave has ten songs from 1918!

Can only go up from here dept: "Back to the Future" clip, followed by Huey, Back in Time.


Btw, nice insta-avatar of Mr. Pardo, there, Mark!

WWWWWWWWWOS to Seger.  My hate for this song knows no bounds.
