"Renee Joins Webster for KFOG afternoons!" says the banner on the website -- WTF? She's doing traffic twice a day? They want more women listeners? Wha?

Wouldn't that be a long-ass workday for her?

This morning Webster did the traffic/music news thang on the 5:40 loooong newscast; at first i thought Renee was off but she showed up at 6.  I think she used to come in at 4 (like Peter & Greg)  but that still a lengthy day. Unless they're shopping for a new morning traffic person?   

ETA: AL confirms on FB that Renee is working a split shift: 6-9 with Webster & co and then 4-7 with DC.  Were they using MetroTraffic in the afternoons prior to this? I say bring back Larry "Bubbles" Brown -- he was a hoot doing traffic on Live 105. "Traffic on 101 is moving slower than a PowerBar thru my colon!"

New feature on AL's show at 3pm daily: the "Cloud Cover" -- she plays a cover version and you have to tell her who did the orig, for a prize. Not sure if this replaces "33-1/3" or is in addition to.

She just played Aztec Camera's great version of "Jump"!

The cloud cover probably replaces 33 1/3 since I haven't remembered hearing it the past few weeks.  Could be wrong though.  33 1/3 was nice but I wouldn't really miss it.  I remember when she used to give prizes away during her 3 songs, which disappeared during 33 1/3.  Now, she's once again giving away prizes during the 3:00 hour.  Is the 7:00-something PM quiz still happening, or did that get replaced by Connected?

It does seem strange (Mike mentioned too) that Dred has more creative freedom on Connected now than AL at 10@10.  I have half a mind to ask DC why that is, but I'm kind of afraid he'll dumb down Connected too if I do that.

Tonight's Connected connection is family.

ETA: Missed the first one (two?), but heard "Family Affair" and "We're a Happy Family" (which won the tix.)

I really do like this Mayer Hawthorne retro-soul thing "The Walk", tho' if they can play white hipster-doofuses doing this kinda stuff they really oughta play Rafael Saddiq.

I wouldn't mind the Mayer Hawthorne song except I'm tired of retro/cutesie/folksy/etc-sounding songs with expletives thrown in just for kicks. (Cee-Lo Green, Mumford & Sons)

Tonight's Connected is about MONEY.  Someone better request the B-52's "Legal Tender"...and quick!  Perfect song.  For Noah and the Whale tix.  (Who?)

I see RG requested Simply Ginger Red.  Good luck to both of yous!  I'm hoping he doesn't play (an AL fave) The Flying Lizards.  Never have to hear that one again.

I'd request Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice" ("Got mah mind on my money and my money on mah mind") if there were even the slightest chance I could actually use the tickets. 

There's a cover of that song by an Austin band called the Gourds that'd work for the Cloud Cover feature too.
Let's get right to it.

Holee crap!  It's on right now!  "Walked into the bank, tried to pass that trash..."

The Brains - "Money Changes Everything"
Monty Python - "The Money Song"
10cc - "Wall Street Shuffle"
B-52's - "Legal Tender" 

....and a Swellegant shout-out from Dred!  I was wondering how you pronounced your surname.

Congratulations Swellegant on getting Noah & the Whale Tix! :) (We're starting to becoming popular with Dred...)
