OMG! The last song prior to this morning's "magical" set was by Spoon! I guarantee that band has never been played on KFOG before yesterday (new music Thursday) and they've been around for years.


Are they playing "The Underdog"?  That one has some breakout potential, mostly thanks to the jaunty horns.


Yep, that's the one. Def. an homage to 60s r&b tunes.


I'm pretty sure they've been playing that one for a while -- where's our expert?  (and please tell me there's no connection to Underdog, the movie)


They've definitely been playing it for weeks.  I think the vocal sounds deliberately evocative of Phil Lynott.

urth, are you sure you're not confusing Spoon with Spooner or I Am Spoonbender? :wink:

I'm astounded that KFOG is not playing Amy Winehouse -- I find her 10 times more interesting than Feist,  KBCO has several of Ms Winehouse's songs in rotation.

I agree; I had to find out about Amy Winehouse from one of my daughters!  Great voice, scary looking.

In addition, if you go to the rather lengthy "new releases" page on the KFOG website, most of the songs listed are in VERY light rotation, if they are in rotation at all.  I wonder how songs that are not actually on-the-air but are "available" on the website are accounted for when reported to R&R and Billboard. (I guess they're being played on the "New Music" stream.)

Just heard Annalisa's promo for her show later this morning and about choked when I heard this:

"You don't have to listen to schmaltzy, bland, programmed, at-work music...you can listen to KFOG!!"

After which I detected a slight pause and an inflected roll of the eyes.

Oy.

we almost went this morning, but it blew up and Dave and Renay (sp?) are back in SF.  I was expecting Alicat to have been there, but I see her posting in Regional.  Must have been a pretty fatal problem to come to this.

So today's morning show remote from Redwood City was aborted a little after 8 when apparently they nuked some key piece of equipment or something. There was a rather long music set, then Dave came on via Greg's cell phone and pretty much said the remote was history, and he and Renee would be beating it up to the city to finish the morning show from the KFOG Studios. I got to work about 10 after 9, and apparently they'd just arrived then.

Meanwhile the phoneline to RWC is still open and Peter's wired on Redbull and jabbering nonstop.

Will be curious to hear from Alicat for her blow-by-blow of what happened.

ETA: Sudden thought: wonder if this means Dave will do a "new" 10@10 today, since he's in the studio, or if they'll just play a classic again. I'm going to assume the latter.

Show was fun. Got there about 6:15 and they were live till about 8. Not sure what happened. Dave and Renee had a "drink" prior to leaving. It was a good time!

When I started listening this morning, they were already back in studio.  Evidentally, technical difficulties at the Fox.

Yikes, sounds like quite a kluge.  I've been in the midst of IT probs myself here, totrally missed the 'BCO '75 set.   Sounds like an '83 classic from Dave?

Just heard a commercial on the KFOG stream for John Doe's new album -- the spot was so sped-up that Renee sounded like one of the Chipmunks.
