Meanwhile, that new Decemberists song is very REM.

Probably because it features Peter Buck! (As does "Down by the Water.")

The Portland connection strikes again.

As heard on the morning show:

"That was the Lemonheads, doing Mrs. Robinson... oh wait, that sounded horrible... I didn't mean it like that"

Oh geez, Webster...  :P

This week begins a parade of week-long auditions by various newsfolk to take over Peter's spot. KRON's Marty Gonzalez used to be the go-to substitute when Peter was off, but I guess he's too old-school (and expensive) to be considered now. Jen... somebody, one of the Metro Traffic folks, is this week's victim.

It appears Renee is no longer doing AM/PM double duty?


and in other news: Don Bleu longtime K-101 morning mainstay (he's older than Dave Morey!) will move to Oldies 103.7 in January. Which says (a) Cheap Clear Channel is determined to make a go of the format and (b) K-101 (or Star 101 or whatever they're calling themselves) is looking to skew younger in the morning.

finally figured out what Coldplay song Adele's "Someone like you" reminds me of -- only it's not Coldplay, it's Keane. Same difference...

I hate to say it...but KFOG's current playlist is becoming stale.

At the immediate "changeover" we got an onslaught of new songs, many of which hadn't hit the AAA Top 30 yet, a few which never did.

They've slowly dropped off the semi-obscure/non-AAA hits & waited for the others to enter the Top 30 before adding them.  Now all we have are past & present AAA Top 30 hits.  AFAIK the only current they're still playing that wasn't a hit on AAA is that Airborne Toxic Event song (and they even have a newer song out now), probably because they're doing their concert for kids.

It also seems to me that when the changeover first happened, virtually all the "gold" cuts were alt-radio hits (or semi-hits) from the '80s and '90s -- all the mainstream stuff (your Petty, your Dire Straits, your '70s stars who were still having hits in the '80s) was gone. Slowly but surely, as DC has tweaked the library, we're hearing Petty, Don Henley and the like creep in.

If it sounds like a Phil Spector sendup, it's the Tubes from their second album, circa 1976.

and another thing: Maybe i just keep missing it but it seems that "Request-O-Rama" has been mothballed.   And Irish Greg seems to have less airtime of late (even tho' he's mentioned and is clearly there doing his producer duties).

eek: in one 20-minute segment just now Rosalie played Counting Crows, "Mr Jones"; Train, "Drops of Jupiter"; and Pearl Jam's cover of "Last Kiss". Shoot me.

This week's Peter Finch substitute is none other than former Live 105-er Greg Gory. It was because of him that Greg McQuaid became "Irish Greg" -- Alex Bennett needed a  way to differentiate between the 2 Gregs.

I didn't know that. Happy to have new knowledge.
