I've commented in the past about those awful OnStar radio spots with "real people" moaning in agony because they've just been in an accident. Thoroughly unpleasant. You tend to hear them on syndicated formats and shows (like Dick Bartley, and AT40) but I just heard one on KFOG, first time they've run one that I can recall. Sad.

For GAWD's sake, dear: can someone please shoot Snow Patrol and put them out of their collective misery? Just say yes!

Gotta say I like (on first hearing) this Ray LaMontaigne song they just played, "Beg Steal or Borrow " -- very late-'60s/early '70s folk-protest vibe, a bit of early Joni in there too. Nice.

Heh, as soon as I saw his name I turned the volume down for 4 minutes.  I don't get the love for him and Bon Iver.

I'm not a huge fan but the lyric put it over for me -- i really felt like I was listening to prog-FM circa 1970.  And it beats another Cold Patrol clone or Feist-alike on the playlist ;)

I think we need a "like" button for stuff like this.

Heartbreak Warfare by John Mayer needs to go away already.  Seriously.

"Let's just fix this whole thing now". A little "red wine and ambien", perhaps?

KFOG must be glad Energy 92.7 went off the air -- didn't they win the past couple of years?

BTW, I got home tonite (9:30-ish) and flipped on KFOG and they were playing the Raconteurs' "Steady As She Goes", which I love, but as I recall they barely played when it was current.

Whatever happened to A-Z week on KFOG?  Is it gone forever?  Can we start a campaign to bring it back?

It's usually an annual event; I'm trying to remember the last time they did it. Has it really been more than a year?  It tends to be better the longer it runs (10 days or more is ideal), but when they try to cram it into exactly 7 days (as they have sometimes done) you really notice how many obvious songs get left out.

I feel like it's been a couple of years since it's been on the air.  It solidified the fact that though they have a brilliant database of songs, they choose to play Snow Patrol over and over.
