anyone know how to download a qt file from a browser?

If the file is linked directly, then just right-click (control-click for Macs) and you can download it to desktop easily.  If it's not just open like that, but you know the url where it resides, you need to write your own link in an html doc, then do the right-click thingy.


duh. :) i never think to download it from the link. i only think of downloading after i've loaded the page. thanks!

Is it me, or is Peter becoming the most annoying thing about the morning show?  He's spent this morning gushing about American Idol, and predicting that the winner, Taylor, would end up being played on KFOG. (If Taylor is a "poor man's Michael McDonald" as one critic said, and if KFOG hasn't played a new Michael McD record in a dog's age, then logically...)

I can't tell if Peter really believes this stuff or if he's been tapped to play the role of "common man" so as to relate to the Idol-loving masses (i.e., the Fogheads who complain when the show gets too intellectual), but it's painful to listen to.  And he's not all that great a news guy, which would at least compensate.

So Benson shows up for New Releases with the new Keane, which sounds like an outtake from the last U2 album. Frighteningly so, IMHO.

ETA: He's also playing -- hooray! -- the Raconteurs.  KFOG has tried to play the White Stripes, and met with much Foghead resistance. Maybe this Jack White project will click.

I think Peter is being Peter.  Never was the sharpest knife in the drawer.  But he's a good guy.

About Taylor -- I don't believe he's the poor man's Michael McDonald (though he does a great imitation, when he does the doobs).  He's really just an upjumped bar band frontman who specializes in r&b.  So he's a poor man's Peter Wolf.

Yeah, Raconteurs!

But what's this about Foghead resistance to the White Stripes?  Did the morning show take a lot of complaints on the air during a New Music Thurs or something?

Around new year when the DJs got to play their favorite songs of the year, both Big Rick and... Renee/Irish Greg played tracks by the White Stripes.  I wrote back then and said, "C'mon, your DJs know what good music is!  Let them play it!" (or something to that effect).

Here's an oddity, in July 2005 they strangely played White Stripes four days in a row.  And one of the times it wasn't "My Doorbell", but "Blue Orchid".

Also annoying:  This is the FOURTH "New Music Thursday" where they've played this track.  I guess they're waiting for some critical mass of support?  Did you send yours?  :-}

KFOG ignored the first White Stripes LP until the end of that year, when it showed up on the "Foghead Favorites" poll. Then they played a couple tracks for a few weeks only, iirc. When the follow-up came out, they tried to push it but got a lot of negative reaction from listeners (especially about "My Doorbell").

If they've really been playing this Raconteurs track for a month and this is the first time I've heard it on KFOG, that doesn't bode well (for contrast, look at how Gnarls Barkley has taken off). I've been hearing it weekly on Little Steven's show, bless his heart.

another analysis from the Chron's Peter Hartlaub:

http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/05/25/MNG8UJ1GOV17.DTL

He describes Taylor as "a high-energy 29-year-old Joe Cocker clone who looks like the love child of Jay Leno and former 49ers coach Steve Mariucci"  ROTFL!

2 more KFOG "regular rotation Katrinas": Marcy Playground's "Sex & Candy" and Pearl Jam's "Daughter", both of which I've heard a LOT lately (and I only listen to KFOG for maybe 90 non-10@10 minutes a day).

I also notice that whatever song they play right before 6am gets played again right before the pm 10@10 replay. Today it was "Daughter".

Ben Fong-Torres is on KFOG plugging his book -- asked what he thought of Aidin Vaiziri, he said "It's a confrontational, wise-ass style that began popping up in mainstream media about 10 years ago. I find him annoying, but effective."

So's a three-year-old with a water pistol.  Glad BFT called the song exactly what it is (what it is, what it is, what it is).
