2 April 2008--it's 1983

[RGMike]

I've got some errands, so I'm about to disappear wit'out o trace...  But this is Dave's best '83 set in some time.

[RGMike]

I'm this close to giving my overall BOS vote to BJ's paean to Christie.

I bet a lot of people these days think she's married to Chuck Norris.

? ? ? ?  (no idea what that means)

They team up to do infomercials for exercise equipment.

But this is Dave's best '83 set in some time.

Indeed--we've had three strong sets so far this week and it's only Wednesday. (I'm inclined to vote yesterday's set as Set o' the Week (so far) but no telling what the rest of the week holds.

We're getting a post-set but pre-Annalisa 83 bonus track--Eddie G' rockin' down to Electric Avenue.

OK, not so much of a bonus. But 83 lives on.

and now here's Mr Henley again, ending the innocence -- and last nite we got double Zevon: 10 mins after "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" appeared on 10@10, "Werewolves" popped up. KFOG needs a continuity person.

Hell, since 98% of their music is on a hard drive, they could just write a script that would detect if a certain artist had been played in, say, the last hour or two, and kick said artist out of the rotation for a preset length of time (with a manual override of course, in case someone dies or something). I bet Darryl could write one in his sleep.

I'm guessing that 10@10 is not on the hard drive as a list of songs -- that's why the songs Dave plays during the set don't show up on the "just played" generator.  He likes to assemble it "live" from many pieces (whereas Ginger and Bob have fewer pieces and less creative control, so their 10@10 songs show up on their respective "just played" lists as they air, 'cause the songs are preloaded). The digtially-recorded replay is in the computer as a single 45-minute event, rather than 10 separate songs. So unless someone is paying attention... and I assume Big Rick is out the door as soon as the replay starts.

agreed, but I'm also sure Urth's right about Darryl being able to write a script like that in his sleep.
