Oh man, a few months ago I started but then apparently discarded an e-mail to KFOG's Music Director complaining that it took Katrina for them to notice and play the Subdudes.

This was after seeing the Subdudes play at GAMH and running into the ubiquitous KFOG booth where they were signing up people for their mailing list.  Oh, and there was a ginormous KFOG banner hanging from the reserved balcony above the stage.

As *if* KFOG is a big supporter of the Subdudes.  Heard them on the 'PIG for years before KFOG played 'em.  Man, I should invest in a big ole antenna for my little Miata to try to pull in KPIG via the AM band.  (Yeah yeah, not likely, I know...)

Not that I am arguing or disagreeing with you, but KFOG did put the Subdudes on both of the New Music Samplers in my possession.  FWIW.


yeah, they played the hell out of "you'll be satisfied" when it was released. but the song soon slipped into the kfog "new music we liked so much when it came out, but we've barely played it since" abyss. see: jeff buckley's "last goodbye," paul weller's "all the pictures on the wall," traffic's "nowhere is there freedom," and steely dan's "two against nature."

And proud of it!

It's also worth noting that KFOG has that "New Releases" page on the website, which gives the illusion that they're playing a lot of new tunes that they really aren't.  That Elvis Costello/Allen Toussaint collab is on that page; I've yet to hear it on KFOG (odd, considering their renewed interest in all things New Orleans), tho' KPIG is playing it pretty regularly.

And, TANC, they interviewed Costello/Toussaint this morning and played a track from the new album.


Of course they did--their tour hits Oakland tonight. And tomorrow KFOG will have forgotten all about it.

Anyone else hear the endless interview with the Scientology guy between 6:30 and 7 today?  It was odd, mainly because they tend to give short shrift to far more important/interesting issues -- gotta play those spots! gotta play Gnarls Barkley again! -- but this guy had 30 minutes handed to him.  Weird.  Were they threatening a lawsuit or something?

"Between 6:60 at 7" would be the shortest interview ever!

Seriously, though, this sounds like a tit for tat thing: We'll give you access to Celebrity X *if* you give us what we think is a fair forum.  The Scientologists, despicable though they may be in terms of spirituality and humanity, are good businesspeople: They know they have negotiating leverage, and how to use it.

Well, yes, but lots of PR firms do the same thing. It just seemed really odd.  Didn't catch the guys name but he was an ex-football player (Pittsburgh Steelers).

Depends on the caliber of celeb the Scientologists dangled before the (Cumulus?) execs.  (PS: Did Dave's email addy change after all in light of the acquisition?)  You're right that this happens all the time, but only a handful are able to execute it on such a scale.

While we're on the topic of Scientology, check this out: A bootleg of the Scientology orientation vid. Looks like it was shot by someone in the audience with a video cam, but it's watchable. Also long--35 minutes.

Watch it quick, before their lawyers get it 86'd.

Exchanged a couple of emails with Ginger from KBCO this week, I sent her a bit of triva that she could easily make into a My 3 Songs and asked if KBCO also did that.  She replied that they did, and then asked me if I knew that both PD Dave Benson & Peter Finch formerly worked at KBCO.

Did any of you guys know that?  I sure didn't.

Of course, what with Ginger playing Bare Naked Ladies live from their Studio C recordings today, I mentioned that Peter is well-known for his BNL love and wondered if he picked that up while he was there, as KBCO definitely seems to play them more than KFOG does (even tho' BNL did KFOG's Concert for Kids a couple years back, to tie this back into the other thread here lately).

I knew about Benson, I think Ginger mentioned it the first time I emailed her. I knew Peter had worked in Colorado, but not at which station.

The Peak also has a former KFOG PD, Paul Marzsalek, working there, and I believe he gave them the suggestion to do 10@10.  And the aforementioned Dave Benson is one of Bob Stroud's best friends.  TANC!

Hey Darryl, if you see this I'm curious if you could look something up in your script for me.  Yesterday afternoon Big Rick played Temple of the Dog "Hunger Strike", which I definitely never heard on KFOG before, and so I'm wondering how much of a one-off that was.

I have a question too:
Stats for Red Hot Chili Peps. What else is being played aside from Dani California? Anything from the new Stadium Arcadium?

radio usually only plays one track at a time from a new LP unless it's, like, U2.
