KFOG, But Not 10@10

[RGMike]

Ok, so KFOG is playing Mayer Hawthorne's retro-soul "The Walk"

But they won't play Raphael Saddiq or Eli "Paperboy" Reed?

Holee crap!  Just heard Blondie's "11:59" as part of tonight's Connected.

Cheap Trick - Clock Strikes Ten
The Vogues - Five O'Clock World
Blondie - 11:59
U2 - 11 O'Clock Tick Tock

Wow, four songs, none of which would be close to Katrina status. In fact, I'm guessing not more than a couple have ever received a 10@10 spin.

My guess is only one of them has: the U2 tune. The other three, bustouts all.

ETA: Yep, the Shraytabase confirms it.

I've mentioned before that The Peak seems to be consulted by the same people who consult KFOG (even tho' KFOG denies using consultants). Now they apparently ahve a "Connected" type feature too -- their moring woman Caroline Corley posts on FB:

"I'm thinking about a "Caroline's Connection" -- songs by bands that mention OTHER bands in their lyrics. Example: "I need TV when I got T-Rex" a lyric from All the Young Dudes by Mott The Hoople. Got another?"

It's been mentioned, but yeah, these commercials are a definite downgrade from what we used to hear. Case in point: This Walgreens commercial.

And when has "Barely Breathing" been played on KFOG?

I'd've sworn they played it back when it was current. But not lately.

KFOG's new slogan: "Train, INXS and REM: we put that shit on everything!"

To be fair, I did like the Kent Brockman intro.

Five straight hours of KFOG today - and that is enough until I drive to the ferry Monday.

I heard a Principal Skinner thing this morning -- Guess they got Harry Shearer to do a bunch of sounders for them.

This Mat Kearney "Hey Mama" thing is like a white Michael Franti ripoff.

Not "is like," just "is."  Or even better, a Michael Franti rip off of a Black Eyed Peas rip off.

Dred's "Connected" connection tonight is "feel the burn" (for Bryan Ferry tickets).
