It's funny -- it's kind of a guilty pleasure, but I find myself really liking it when they spin Van Halen, which they've been doing on a regular basis since the Cumulus takeover.

Just these two tracks, though: Dance the Night Away and You Really Got Me.  Every 3-4 days.

Well, as long as they don't start spinning Van Hagar.

And I'm still a little ambivalent about hearing Boston's "More Than A Feeling", which got a few spins back in July, and one last Tuesday.  It's really a little too Bone for me, I guess.

at this moment, KFOG's playing Jimmy Cliff, "Wonderful World, Beautiful People".  Dave's played this on 10@10 many times, but I think this is the first time I've heard it in regular rotation.

Tue Feb 21 10:57:00 2006        Jimmy Cliff     "WONDERFUL WORLD, BEAUTIFU"      Wonderful World, Beautiful People
Thu Jun  1 23:33:00 2006        JIMMY CLIFF     I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW   Unavailable
Mon Aug 28 11:00:00 2006        Jimmy Cliff     "WONDERFUL WORLD, BEAUTIFU"    Wonderful World, Beautiful People [A&M]

Dave played it during the Morning show one day a few weeks ago. I think it tied into something--topic of discussion or some such. But it blew my s**t right away too.
Let's get right to it.

A man after mshray's own heart:  This morning's Request-O-Rama winner was offered Dave Matthews tix as a bonus, and he declined, saying "I'm going to see The James Gang at the Mountain Winery."  And then he requested "Tending My Garden"!

New Releases Thursday: Johnny Lang's back. Oh joy.

ETA: Yikes, he's making a bid for annual inclusion on the MLK Day set by including King samples in the song.

and here's the new Beck, "Nausea".  No, that's not my reaction, it's the name of the song.

Anyone else notice that "world class rock" seems to be skewing to the 90s a lot more lately? Been hearing several Nirvana tunes and also a lot of Alanis of late, to name just two.

And I'm thinking I'd like to start a movement to have You Oughta Know banned from the airwaves--sure, I get that the song is written from the POV of someone who's been harshly dumped, but the negativity and venom in that song is just bad--it never fails to put me in a foul mood. We have enough of that in this world.

Alex Bennett once called her Alanis MoreUpset -- I've called her that ever since. Never mind the anger, I find there to be somewhat of a double standard in that it's OK for a woman to direct that anger at a guy in a  song, but a guy saying the equivalent things to a woman would be considered misogynist.

I note that they've got Rocco DeLuca playing at the Bridge-to-Bridge Run party.  There's a new docu about DeLuca called I Trust You to Kill Me, his band is signed to Keifer Sutherland's label and Sutherland went on tour with them as their road manager.  A sample critical quote from the NY Post:

"Too bad nearly half the film is about DeLuca, who has an irritating Freddie Mercury wail and is both obnoxious and moronic."

LOL!
