11 December 2008: It's 1987!

[urth]

another VHM LL. Bob's doing '87 tomorrow; be interesting to see how his version (fairly rare in the Drive's rotation) stacks up -- can't be worse, but then I'm sure we won't get Bananarama either

As 87 sets go, I don't think this one was so bad. Yes, we got the two major Ks for the year, but from SH6 on, 4 of 5 songs were pretty darn good (excluding the way overplayed U2 cut), including one ATBB. Not a set for the ages, but I think it could have been far worse.

Well, OK (i'm feeling VERY crankypants of late, so forgive me) but OTOH I can't imagine Bob giving us both Crowded house *and* "C'est La Trina".  Serious kudos to Dave on the Bananarama -- exactly the sort of '80s pop you'd think he'd be totally into (if we could get Kylie Minogue in an '88 set I'd scream like Gaz at a Pat Burrell book signing).

One more strike against Annalisa: today's bonus track is JCM's Check It Out. Two songs before 10@10 started, we heard another JCM song (Cherry Bomb). Just read the log, for cryin' out loud--she could have just as easily offered up any number of other, better songs that KFOG doesn't play 10 times a week. (Tinka: you're welcome.)

ROTFLMAO!  glad I'm not the only cranky one

even worse is when the Exact. Same. Song shows up in reg rotation half an hour before it appears in a 10@10 replay (happened recently with the Jack White/Alicia Keys "unholy mess").
