The Sound (LA), 3/3/09: 1984

[Gazoo]

BOS3 to the Bangles.  I'm sure that if I had heard this at the time (Pittsburgh radio took a pass on it), I'd have assumed the "UB40 in your hand" was an album rather than a form.

[Davefish]

Ahh, here you are.  Is this a real station, or internet only?  Nice quality stream in any case.

Ahh, silly question since it says 100.3.

Real station, with a couple of ex-KFOG staff on board.

[urth]

Proxy of Mike, Bangles "Going Down To Liverpool"   BOS #3 & early candidate for BOS of the Month!

ETA: in fact I think this is an ATBB, unless Rob has played it.

Thought that was who this was. They were still a couple years from striking it big.

[Tinka Cat]

Let's play guess the vinyl!

Oh wait, deejay just told us to "hang on," here comes vinyl from the Purple One : "Let's Go Crazy" is another BOS

Yes, I see Mike Powers on the list.  He's pretty much indistinguishable from Webster.  I bet Webbie's having a tough time doing weekends as well as mornings.

Mike has often pined for GDTL, and I have heartily seconded the opinion.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today because KFOG keeps playing retread sets from 1987."

BOS # 4 Prince.

LOL

The Sound's Music Director is Haley Jones, formerly "Haley Jones MD" every Thursday at 8:30 on the KFOG Morning Show.

BOS4 (!) to R.E.M., "So. Central Rain."  Ah, for the days when Stipe could be a heartbreaker (a mode he's captured this decade only with "Leaving New York").

[mshray]

Dang me, this is turning into a much better than expected set.  BOS #5 R.E.M.

[urth]

And it's REM from every quarter this morning. KFOG played Fall On Me a few minutes before 10@10, It's the End of the World As We Know It was the #3 song in their set, and now we're getting So. Central Rain. Buck and the boys are sure racking up the mechanicals today!

ETA: Oh, and Davefish reminded me that KPIG played their cover of Wall of Death shortly before 10, too. Is it someone's birthday today?

Damn, sure wish he'd let Big Bottom roll there. Instead we get Hot For Teacher. Well, it is LA.

Not sure how trail blazing she would be here in her MD role, and I can't recall the texture of the playlists when she was at KFOG, but I do remember that I found her new music Thursday appearances just tolerable.  Like just a notch above Annalisa in the annoying department.

And I heard "Wall of Death" on KPIG.  And commented on Urth's status on Facebook to that effect, whereas his status was "Jim Hoffman is buy the sky and sell the sky..".  So there.

Hey Gaz, been meaning to ask, can you forward that photo you took of Christina & me?  She saw it on your Facebook & we both agree it's one of the better shots fo us in recent years.
