KFOG, But Not 10@10

[Big Fingers McGee]

However old Crampton is, the show is so different, a.k.a. awesome, as opposed to than the rest of KFOG's schedule, I may have to start recording it.

Cumulus starting it's own nationwide traffic service -- cheaper than paying Shadow or whoever they use now, I guess

In case you missed this Ben Fong-Torres SFGate piece on the Triple-A radio conference that featured everyone's fave KFOG whipping boy PD:

Looks like Ben F-T is back in DC's good graces.

Listened to the first 2 hours of "Lost & Found" last nite and it was indeed very impressive. Mid-'70s Bonnie Raitt ("Blowing Away" from the wonderful Home Plate LP) and OMFG the Carpenters "Goodbye to Love" were standouts. And more I've-never-heard-of-this-artist tracks than you can shake an iPod at. I do kinda wonder when he sleeps if he's listening to so many albums all the time.

And yes: "I'm 27" is apparently a running joke with him.

"wait... did you hear that??"

Mr Crampton just played Robbie Robertson's "Somewhere Down the Crazy River", which given its frequent-flier status on 10@10 doesn't seem very "lost" to me. And he's just confessed his love for Ingrid Michaelson, so I guess he he's never heard the word "Feistalike".

Would you say it gets much play outside the 10@10 biosphere?

I think it shows up in regular KFOG rotay occasionally.

Much as I enjoyed last week's "Lost & Found", I barely made it thru the first hour last nite -- he followed Ingrid Feistalikeson with Lana del Rey and Bjork and I was outta there.

Yes, it was weird to hear "Somewhere Down The Crazy River" on the show, but I think Gould may be correct that it's essentially lost outside the 10@10 context.

Frankly, I enjoy Ingrid and Lana and all of the "Feistalikes", so that didn't bother me. YMMV.

"Guest DJ" on this morning's show: Former KSFO hate-mongerer Melanie Morgan. Gee, what a shame I had to miss it.

Er, I think you mis-heard.  "Melody" something (one of the women who auditioned for the Renee/Peter slot), is subbing for Irish Greg. (she was the least-talented of the 4 auditionees in December)

Too close for comfort... she mentioned she lived in Marin (as did/does Melanie). I should have known better - she just seemed too nice to have been Melanie. Thanks for the catch.

It seems her name is Melody Walker.

KFOG continues its assault on Live 105 by picking up the latest from Neon Trees & Foo Fighters, as well as the new Imagine Dragons.  The only one of those that is even anywhere near the AAA chart is Imagine Dragons, last week at #34.

This week KFOG has in rotation all of the AAA Top 30, except for:
Ryan Adams (#18)
Ingrid Michaelson (#24)
Jason Mraz (#25)
Counting Crows (#26)
Red Hot Chili Peppers (#27)
Feist (#30)

I'm surprised, but not complaining, that they added lower position bands such as Delta Spirit, Bon Iver, Young the Giant, Imagine Dragons instead of 24-27.  But it's time for a new Feist song rather than "How Come You Never Go There."

It's never time for a new Feist song 

I'm curious as to why that Colbie Caillat "Brighter Than the Sun" song was not a big Triple-A hit (or was it just KFOG that ignored it?).

[RGMike]

as just noted on FB: they played that "digging deep into the KFOG music library" promo to intro... "Drive-By". I swear to gawd.  Un-fucking-believeable.
