KFOG, But Not 10@10

[RGMike]

eeek: KFOG will be treating us to Jack Johnson's new Xmas CD on New Releases.  Bah Humbug!

[Gazoo]

Nice to hear that formerly unreleased Stones song, "No Spare Parts."  It's a bit overenunciated by Mick, but I've come to really appreciate where the Stones were at musically 1972-78.

And even nicer to hear Folk Implosion's "Natural One" right after.  One of the best and most chilling songs of the decade.

[Big Fingers McGee]

Played at 6:50 this morning: "Feel Good, Inc.", Gorillaz

[RGMike]

Robyn Hitchcock will perform live on KFOg in about 10 mins.

And there's an article about AL and 10@10 in today's Chron datebook -- not available on SFGate until tomorrow, apparently.

But Sunday's Ben Fong-Torres column

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/11/10/PKV01LP4SU.DTL#ixzz1dyoduncm

mentions that on his current book tour (he's written a tome about the Eagles -- *snore*) his "only local stop" was at K-Fox. Guess he's no longer welcome at KFOG?

Or maybe it's that the Eagles no longer appeal to KFOG's target demographic, so they passed on the interview op.

Good point.  I just figured his KFOG piece a few months back didn't please DC.

I would think The Bone would bite, but a look at The Bone's tunegenie shows they played just one Eagles song in the last 24 hours: Already Gone and at 3:58 AM today.

Cool.  I also really like the e-Chronicle interface.  Very cool, I might have to subscribe.

Doesn't work so well  on  my android, which is my only internet option for now. Guess I'll wait for the web  version tomorrow.

I found it interesting that the article says that they're gonna play "Alice's Restaurant" on Thanksgiving Day -- "see, we're still KFOG!"  I thought sure this would be the year that they dump that old chestnut, or at least do a FB Foghead poll on whether or not people still wanna hear it. Also note the mention that AL loves 1966.

Some things are still traditional.  2 or 3 weeks ago, they played the wrong version of Smoke Two Joints, and the DJ (DC?) made some comment about what a mistake he made, and the fogheads let him know, and he wouldn't do it again!

She admits in the article that 1986, 1988 and 2000 are her tougher years.

Maybe we should refer to her as FP on her FB page just to see how she'd react. Bet she'd laugh!

I don't know if I'd describe her voice as 'smoky', though.

and what exactly is the "wrong" version -- Sublime's?    Seriously, how would it even be possible to play the "wrong" version?  They surely only have 2 versions in their database.

Yes, I'm telling you exactly that.  You might not feel the same way, but it's tradition!
