Benson the PD is there for New Releases Thurs -- just played something new by Death Cab For Cutie... was amazed when he told where they got their name! I'd've never guessed.


I know "Death Cab for Cutie" as the awful song sung by the awful singer with the awful teeth in the mostly awful "Magical Mystery Tour."  Is that where they got it, or do both have a common source?


I've never seen MMT but "DCFC" is a song by the Bonzo Dog Band (where Neil Innes of Rutles fame got his start) so I assume that was them in MMT.

You've never seen "Magical Mystery Tour"?  That really should be remedied.  It's bad TV, interminable at times, but it runs well under an hour and the "Your Mother Should Know" tuxes-dancing-down-staircase scene justifies it all.  I recommend it as a double-feature with "Rock & Roll Circus."  If only for completism purposes.

Well, Dave's back -- whether he makes it thru the whole show is another question. And whether he does a new 10@10 or leaves us with another "classic" is still another. (He's been doing very little talking in an effort to conserve his voice.)

ETA he went home sick; another "classic" on the way...

Did Renee really call "Long Cool Woman" a "classic from Graham Nash"? 'Cause he was long gone by then...

Maybe I misheard?

So they're promo-ing this latest Local Scene concert.  that song by Samantha about Frank Sinatra & Stevie Wonder (!) is kinda cool, but the Dub-F/X  song is a total rip of that "La-la-la-la-la" song by the guys who did the theme from "Cops"....

You didn't mishear. I emailed mornings@kfog... to bust her on it.

And per Dave's KFOG blog, posted this afternoon:

Meanwhile...I'll be blogging live on the Morning Show Wednesday and Thursday and will do my very best to be at Friday's LIVE&LOCAL from Santa Clara.


"Blogging live"? Sounds to me like what my coworkers mean when they say they're "working from home." So it looks like "classics" for the remainder of this week as well.

OK, I am calling on the collective consciousness and wisdom of the folks on this board to help me out with a puzzle that pertains directly to 10@10.

Specifically, I'm compiling a list of songs for my soon-to-be-requested birthday set (hopefully to air on Sept 16), which I've decided will be a 70s power-pop vertical tasting (70 thru 79). For the most part, I haven't had any trouble coming up with plenty of songs, but the issue arises when it comes to avoiding duplicating any one artist. I've narrowed my picks for each year, but because of the no-dupes rule (self-imposed, I admit), I'm drawing blanks for 1971 and 1975.

So, what I need from you are suggestions of great power pop songs that were released or charted in 1971 and 1975, that are not by any of the following artists:

Badfinger
Raspberries
Sweet
Todd Rundgren

The other artists I've chosen didn't have hits in those years anyway.

Thanks, gang.

I guess I don't know the exact definition of power pop, so I don't know who to suggest.

I guess the Osmonds don't count, eh?  :wink:

Would you settle for the Grassroots' "Temptation Eyes" or "Sooner or Later" in '71? Or maybe T.Rex, "Ride a White Swan"? My first thought was "Fresh as a Daisy" by Emmitt Rhodes but good luck getting Dave to pull that one out.

And '75 is tough... "Butter Boy" by Fanny? "Magic" by Pilot?

Morey Held Hostage, Day 9:  Dave's participating in the Morning Show by blogging.  And Greg let slip that Dave's seeing someone named "Ramon". Why are we not surprised? LOL!

ETA: I posted a comment on Dave's blog... here's how it came out:

"Dave,

We miss you terribly. 10@10 "cl * ics" can only go so far. Methinks you're having way too much fun for somebody who's sick :-)"

Yes -- their system censored the "ass" in the middle of the word "classic"!
I also used the 10@10 board as my "homepage" on the form, so there's a link to it under my post -- we may get a few new visitors...

KFOG just played New Radicals "You Get What You Give", nice to hear that after a spell of it not being in heavy rotation.  Went to look it up on Top40 db and was astounded to see it only got as far as #36 in Billboard.

10:00 meeting today so I'll have to miss the latest "classic" (or "Cl * ic" as the KFOG blog would say).
