4 Sept 2009: Holiday Weekend

[RGMike]

AL drives south with Hiatt.

[mshray]

anyone besides me try to listen via radio broadcast in the 20 minutes before the set?  I was in my car & as far as I could tell KFOG was off air from at least 9:38-9:54. Not even static.  Came inside, fired up the laptop & all seems to be well on the stream.

BOSFRA: ZZT, "Party on the Patio" -- can I predict that "Twistin' by the Pool" will follow?

Still off I think.
Whats up?

No idea, but the stream is working.  Which is weird if not downright implausible.

VHM to the "Good Times" theme, even if present day hardly feels like good times.

Same here.  The radio, both 104.5 and 97.7, are still not working.

LAWD! VHM Good Times, followed by Chic's "Good Times".  Clams on the half-a-shell!

Glad I'm on the stream. We had ZZ Top follow the Hiatt, Party On The Patio. OK, but wasn't a big fan back in the day, and still not--they've done better.

Now we're hearing the theme to Good Times, followed by the Chic tune of the same name.

Anyone else thinking this theme is kinda on the lame side?

actually quite plausible -- they're in the studio doing the show, it's going directly to the web. It's the connection to the transmitter that's f---ed up.

I was distracted by the radio being off air, but can anyone explain to me exactly how the Hiatt tune qualified to kick off this set?

Dave did a similar thing on a couple occasions ("here comes the weekend", or "party weekend" or somesuch). She needed a theme set, and Moday (presumably) we'll get the tradiional "work songs" set.

"it's a long weekend and we're drivin' south."

I am working from home, listening on TV -- channel 984, and all is well.  I just turned my clock radio on -- nada.  And then I started tuning down the dial -- no fm reception at all!  Will go try my stereo later...
