KFOG, But Not 10@10

[RGMike]

New Releases: nice new tune from Joan Osborn , going in an Americana direction, and an Aussie band called Cat Empire (not to be confused with Cat Power).

Meanwhile, if I hear the commercial for Man of the Year (the Robin Williams flick that is reportedly just AWFUL) one more time... I will go postal.

This Saturday, KFOG is doing a good old-school Beatles A to Z day. Don't know what that means for the the Marathon, but I guess since KFRC isn't around to do them anymore, at least someone is.

I'm sure it starts right after the marathon -- and probably wraps up around 10pm.

So, since Dave's latest blog entry is all about his Myrtle Beach vacay, I thought I'd  post a comment telling him about VIPRadio's Friday Beach Music show, and I also mentioned that XM is doing a recreation of CKLW (jingles and all) this week.

I went back a while later and my comment wasn't there. I thought maybe I screwed up and I posted it again, and again, a while later, it disappeared. So I emailed the info to Dave directly.

Then tonite when I got home I had an email from Dave (predating my email to him) telling me not to post "commercials for satellite and internet radio on the KFOG site".  Jeez, ya try to be a nice guy and hip somebody to something you think he'll like...

Big Brother! Does his contract allow him to only listen to KFOG? I second the jeez. It's a great big world out there.

I'm not surprised or upset at all.  This site is paid for by KFOG, and there's not reason they should allow competitors 'equal time.'  I'm sure  Dave listens to music other than KFOG, it's just that he knows his job.

I suppose such things can only be communicated by email and IM, then.   :x

He has been very open by phone and (in the old days) fax.  I myself have been bitten on the butt by things printed online, even in 'private' emails.

well... whatever.  But given how few comments get posted on the DJ blogs (unless Dave solicits suggestions for a theme set on-the-air) it seems to me not very many people would've ever seen my "commercials" :wink:

[RGMike]

just went to the KFOG site (cuz the player still ain't workin') and the just-played box showed "This Love" by Kim Richey -- the song from her 2002 CD Rise that she co-wrote with Chuck Prophet. I don't remember that song getting much KFOG play at the time, and now it's showing up in rotation? WTF?

[ggould]

they were discussing this "follow you into the dark" song, which made me think of Fleetwood Mac's "Dust" from Bare Trees:

Fleetwood Mac

Dust

Written by Danny Kirwan.

When the white flame in us is gone
And we that lost the world's delight
Stiffen in darkness.
Left alone
To crumble in our separate light
When your swift hair is quiet in death
And through the lips corruption thrust to still the labor of my breath
When we are dust, when we are dust
When we are dust, when we are dust
When your swift hair is quiet in death
And through the lips corruption thrust to still the labor of my breath
When we are dust, when we are dust
When we are dust, when we are dust
When the white flame in us is gone
And we that lost the world's delight
Stiffen in darkness
Left alone
To crumble in our separate light
When your swift hair is quiet in death
And through the lips corruption thrust to still the labor of my breath
When we are dust, when we are dust
When we are dust, when we are dust

Only Darryl can answer this definitively, but does anyone else think KFOG is playing a lot more new-and-recent stuff and a lot less "classics"?  Sure seems that way to me, but then I only listen at limited times (5:45-7 am; right after 10@10; the half-hour before the pm replay).  The mix used to be 3 or 4 old tunes for every new one; it almost seems like that ratio has been reversed.
