KFOG, But Not 10@10

[RGMike]

In addition to doing 10@10, Renee is now officially the Music Director.

So Annalisa was the DJ equivalent of Joe Montana? Way to go, AL! (No way do I buy Renee as Steve Young though, unless they mean *after* the concussions.)

she's more like the water boy/girl.

If she has the job for several years and suddenly improves to 'mediocre', Alex Smith

Damn, they're playing "Skyfall" a lot.  I *like* it -- best Bond theme in years -- but it's gonna get old quickly at this rate...

[RGMike]

I like this Jack White cover of "Shakin'" but why does he change the lyric from "St Vitus dance" to "St Rita dance"?  Is St Rita Dance even a thing?

heard it today for the first time.  It's very good!  Reminiscent of some other Bond theme or incidnetal music used in one of the movies ... Thunderball, if I'm not mistaken.  It's got great tension, drama, and they work in some strains of the 007 Theme, too. 

can't wait for the movie!

So this morning Greg Gory mentions that today (Friday) is National Coming Out Day.  Tim Jeffries comments how great that is, asks how Greg and his partner will be celebrating the day.

Gory jokes (?) that they'll just hang out at home and catch up on "Project Runway" (or maybe it was "America's Top Model").  Or no wait, they'll fire up the DVR and watch "Glee".

Jeffries chuckles and they move on.

Thing is... did Jeffries just "out" Gory?  Was Gory making a joke about stereotypical "gayness", but then he really is gay?

I mean, if this was a morning zoo show, this could not have been a more scripted exchange between two totally hetero shock jocks.  But I seem to recall reading a rumor that Gory was in fact gay.  (If so, definitely a Log Cabin Republican or Libertarian... Yeesh.)

Anyways, anybody else hear it?  Thoughts or comments?

No, Gory is "out" -- at least as of a few months back. It wasn't  a big announcement, more like offhand comments. I think he mentioned being gay during his interview with Teegan & Sara. And I'm told that on his FB page vthere are tons of pics of him and his partner.

[darryl]

Yeah, I had heard about photos on Facebook as well. Well, I guess it was just yet another awkward Jeffries/Gory moment. Ugh, when I listen to them it always feels like they are trying too hard. (And Icky's "What's Trending?" Uuugh.)

Hey I'm a big fan of sarcasm/crankiness, but I always felt that at his core, Irish Greg was a good guy. I don't get that vibe with Gory. He's nice enough in person, but on-air he kind of grates. Like, is he consciously trying to bring a right-wingnut "viewpoint" to KFOG or does it just naturally come out?

[RGMike]

Icky's subbing for Rosalie this morning -- hoping he's not doing Acoustic Sunrise tomorrow.  Does this mean Rosalie will be in for Renee all this week?

14, 15, and 16 get LN's for already being on at least 6 other AAA samplers by this point (in fact, I could've sworn that that Edward Sharpe song is on a previous KFOG one) but overall it looks pretty good this year.  Especially tracks 1,5,6,9,11,13,19,20.

It's also on Peet's website, although for some reason it has a slightly different tracklisting.  There are tracks by Emeli Sande and Jimmy Cliff that aren't listed on the one on KFOG's website.

Tuned in early (9:45-ish), Tim played Green Day ("Oh Love"), Portishead (!) and Tower of Power's "What is Hip?" -- not bad, I must say.

[RGMike]

mentioned this on FB... listened to the KFOG Morning show today -- they had a traffic woman added to the mix, Heather, who I assume is Heather Hommin (or however it's spelled) a longtime Metro Traffic person. So they now have four voices competing with each other (Icky's there too). 

However, Tim intro'ed Heather by saying "she's been with us all week" which seems to imply this is another we're-auditioning-people-a-week-at-a-time scenario.

ETA: Heather's still there this week (10/29) so presumably she's a permanent hire. Smart, I think, for them to beef up news/traffic and the whole multiple-voices-in-the-studio thing. I love AL but she sounds so ... isolated in the morning on K-FOX with no newsperson.

[radical347]

They've been spinning Thomas Dolby's "I Love You Goodbye" a LOT lately.  This is the second time this week I've heard it.  My wish (one of them, at least) has finally been granted, it seems.

[RGMike]

Another radio-thon?? Jeezus.
