This morning they were giving away a Peet's Gift card, so the quiz was "famous Petes". The clue was "this Pete was a betting baseball player". And the woman on the phone blurted out "Pete Seeger!"

Oh right, I forgot about his banjo emblazoned with "This Machine Pulls The Ball To Extreme Left Field."


bwahahaha!  Line of the Week!

Dear KFOG,

Concert 4 Kids is over; you can stop playing the Doobie Bros now.

Thanks,

Fogheads 4 variety.

KFOG is playing the retro-JB-ish "How You Like Me Now" by The Heavy -- not sure how old or new it is; it's currently featured in The Fighter.

The first exposure I had to this tune was in the KIA ad with the sock monkeys and such.

KFOG asked Fogheads on FB for New Year's Resolutions. One guy posted:

Quote
I am listening to KFOG 100% of the Time. I deleted all my other radio streams. Everytime I used them, I regretted it, thinking, "I bet KFOG is playing a song I like."

Something tells me he's a big Train fan...

Not to mention a huge brown-noser.
Let's get right to it.

Train did "Hey Mole Blister" on some NYE show (yes, I had a wild night)  When Pat Monaghan sang "I'm so fly I'm so thug" or whatever, I wondered if he was trying to be funny.  I mean intentionally funny.

They were on both the Daryl Hall WGN thing (which was mostly great, except for them) and also the Dick Clark "New Year's Rockin' Alzheimers" show.

can someone explain the extreme love for Florence & the Machine? The lead singer is another woman who sounds like 17 other women currently on the radio (Sarah MclachFeist). I don't get it.

And don't even GET me started on Owl City.

These ads telling people to knock back a 5-Hour Energy shot instead of coffee are a tad creepy.

Dunno if it's supposed to be a regular feature or just coincidence, but for 3 days in a row, at around 6:40am, Webster has played a "deep track" that isn't in regular KFOG rotation. Monday it was "Girls on Film" (which showed up again 4 hours later on 10@10); yesterday it was "Oh Well" (the loooong version, which led to a discussion in which Irish Greg made fun of it); and this morning it was "Cantaloop".

Oh and hope Geoff heard the Request-O-Rama winner's prize track this morning: "Mission in the Rain" by Jerry Garcia.

I can't in any way disagree...thought so 12 yrs ago & haven't stopped thinking so.  That being said...he is still only in his apprenticeship vis a vis Michael Bolton in the category of high-paid assassins of beloved classics.

Turned out I misread AL's post; she was calling TOP's original a "Soul Train" version, or something. So we're spared Train's version of "SVHTG"... for now.  But the Daryl Hall special on NYE pointed up the diff between Todd Rundgren's great cover of H&O's "Wait For Me" (he did it on Hall's web show and you can find it on YT) and Train's version of the same tune (which aired on the TV show).
