17 July 2009: it's... a '60-thru-'69 VT!!

[RGMike]

Notice that even tho' she's still using the "game over" sound, AL seems to have ditched the stuttery computer-voices.  Foghead complaints?

You might like to (hear) my organ: ride, Sally, ride!

so Bruno's not the only one with a singing penis?

[urth]

no surprise that this was a short one -- the '60s VT Dave did last year (2 years ago?) was equally brief.

I'd forgotten he did one, but you're absolutely right. October 10, 2007, to be specific. Only one artist common to both. (This one went from 61 to 70.)

Dovells   Bristol Stomp
Chris Montez   Let's Dance
Jaynetts   Sally Go 'Round The Roses
Roy Orbison     Oh Pretty Woman
Gentrys   Keep On Dancin'
? & the Mysterians   96 Tears
Jackie Wilson   Higher & Higher
Grass Roots     Midnight Confessions
Creedence Clearwater Revival    Green River
Jackson 5   I'll Be There

That, or maybe program director complaints?

BOS2 Beau Brummels!

Gets my vote (so far). 

Trivia: For five frink points, why did the Beau Brummels choose that name as their moniker?

So Billy Joel would have a touchstone reference for "It's Still Rock & Roll to Me"?

I just looked up the reason(s) on wikipedia.  good one!

if KFOG actually *had* a PD, maybe Don't think they've replaced Benson yet; one guy's running KFOG/da Bone/KNBR/The Ticket. But I'm guessing AL's gotten a lot of "make it your own but don't reinvent the wheel, either" feedback.  We're hearing a lot more of the drop-ins and jingles Dave used lately; they were absent the first few weeks of AL's reign.

Yeah, I've noticed a lot of the choral year-ID bumpers and such are back. Not a bad call. Give the longtime 10@10 fans something familiar to latch onto, and since Don Pardo is now retired too, that eliminates a lot of old clips right off the top.

WOS to the Top 40's only mention of huarache sandals.  Never enjoyed the surf scene.

I guess Gaz has the cranky baggies on!

Beach Boys debuted in '63. In what year will the Beatles (yay) pop up?

Whew--wikipedia's essay agrees with what I'd heard was their reasoning. Which is that "Beau Brummel" follows "Beatles" alphabetically, and therefore, would put their records right after the Fab Four's in record store bins, thus resulting in more sales. Or that was the theory, anyway.

I decided to leave my comment up when I saw yours, as I was making a direct pun on pants, with the surf version!  But point taken.  Sometimes when you can't post during the set, things get passed over!
