...and yet, they're still playing that Snow Patrol song (which was never great in the first place).  I'd rather hear Piano Man 5 times a day on Oldies 103.7 than this crap.

Oh no you didn't!  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(  ;)

Dude.  Seriously...this song has a case of whiskey-dick.  It tries to get you there, but...ya know.

One '90s track I'd love for them to rediscover is Blondie's 1998 comeback, "Maria". KFOG completely ignored it at the time, which was baffling since they still had "Heart of Glass" playing regularly.  I seem to recall they also passed on playing a B-52s album, even tho' "Roam" and "Love Shack" were (are?) in regular rotation. So why not play a good new song that sounds like one of their old songs? But they never did. Alice played the hell out of the Blondie track, tho'.

Hey my buddy just shared this link on Spotify. Are y'all on it yet?

The Short Fuses – Maria

Decent cover -- the album name made me laugh though:  "How Many Bands Does It Take To Screw Up A Blondie Tribute"

Damn -- just turned on KFOG in time to hear Dred play the White Stripes' "My Doorbell". That's impressive, ahtellyouwhut.

Just heard a new one (for KFOG): "Lazy Eye" by Silversun Pickups -- & it was an acoustic version to boot.

Just turned KFOG on at 8:30... no 10@10 marathon? WTFF??

Per AL on FB, the marathon is no more.  :'(

Ugh...this is NOT a good way to start off a Satuday. :(

I've supported most all of the other changes (dumping the LFTA Rerun Sat & Sideshow (which had run its course) in favor of Lost & Found, adding Rockwell & Dred (who's grown on me) and, of course, all the new music) but knocking out the 10@10 marathon is NOT cool.

Fogheads are PISSED...just look at the KFOG FB page.  Could it be enough to reverse the decision?

I'd like to think yes but PDs tend to be my-way-or-the-highway about such things. This is 4 or 5 hours where "reportables" -- current tunes that determine chart postion and so on -- will now get played instead of oldies. Record companies tend to like that. "oo! another 2 spins for Matt Nathanson!"

Funny: one of the things I said to AL in my exchange with her yesterday was that it was a relief not to be hearing "Sweet Home Alabama" 17 times a week.  So I'm in the car just now and I punched up Oldies 103.7 and... guess what they were playing?  ::)

It's "Magic Carpet Ride" that gets me everytime on 103.7.  Oh, and they've been playing "Angel of the Morning" a LOT (not that I'm complaining!)

I just sent Dennis a spunky email. Maybe too spunky. Hope he replies.

I think many folks here will find the playlist from KSAN 107.7 FM (The Bone) to their satisfaction.  They seemed to have moved more toward the classic rock staples since KFOG made room with this recent move.  Yes, the pull out the AC/DC & Def Leppard with regularity, but they're making room for things like Bowie's 'Changes' and U2's 'With or Without You'

chk out their tune playlist:  http://ksan.tunegenie.com/

Too bad their morning Deejays are too often a juvenile embarrassment.

Ugh. Suckage. I just posted:

10@10 Marathons = less time for commercials. But I bet Saturday mornings are a pretty low listenership for most stations. So big mistake, because clearly 10@10 was a big draw for the folks here.
