The lack of a newsperson suddenly became an issue during the Boston stuff this week.

Speaking of which, I wonder how KFOX's morning newscasts went this week.

So, what happened to Gory?  He didn't do much besides recite the morning paper anyway.

we were talking about Live 105 and K-FOX, not KFOG.

AFAIK, K-FOX has no news in the AM.

Interesting... I've only listened to AL a few times before I'm shooed away by the frequency of overplayed geezer rock. I wonder if they make exceptions for remarkable scenarios.

sorry, didn't see any reference; incorrectly assumed the default would be KFOG.

I'm really digging this new Daft Punk song; it's almost a mid-'70s BeeGees kinda thing.  Really wondering whether KFOG will end up adding this one.

I feel like I've heard "Lightning Crashes" more times in the past 2 weeks than I ever did when it was new.

[RGMike]

Steve Masters' retro-mix today was Stephen "Tin Tin" Duffy's fabulous "Kiss Me".. 2 thumbs up!

[RGMike]

Doing AL's lunchtime request-thingy on K-FOX; was delighted to hear Alice Cooper's "Under My Wheels" which I suspect is not in the regular rotay there.

Ditto Rod the Mod's "Every Picture Tells of Storied Donuts".

Masters just played it and apparently the singer is none other than Pharrell Williams of the Neptunes (and for those of you with small children he did the songs for Despicable Me).

OMG: the 8:30 "Modern Mix Classic" is the Pet Shop Boys remix of Blur's "Boys & Girls". Fab. Yoo. Luss!

so AL needs a song that begins with an "N".. and a guy who sounded like a total stoner/surfer/Jeff Spicoli type asked for "(K)Nockin' on Heaven's Door". Uh, sorry bro'.

But you gotta admit that's kinda funny.

DC (a self-proclaimed Daft Punk fan) spun it on New Music Thursday this morning.  Live 105 has also been playing it like every other hour.

I want to love it because it's funky as hell but I just can't get past the inane lyrics.

"We've come too far to give up who we are / I'm up all night to have fun / she's up all night to get lucky / we're up all night to get lucky" WTF...it's as if they're defining themselves by having random sex in colloquial terms.

A funky song with inane lyrics? Gee, that NEVER happens.

TANC: I was about to comment that it's interesting that KFOG loves to add songs after Live 105 discovers them, but the opposite never seems to happen -- Live 105 isn't playing that OMD song, afaik.  And I wish they would... anyway I saw and liked your FB comment about it. Does KFOG only play it on Thursdays?
