They've been spinning Thomas Dolby's "I Love You Goodbye" a LOT lately.  This is the second time this week I've heard it.  My wish (one of them, at least) has finally been granted, it seems.

The Foo Fighters' "Walk" has suddenly become a frequent flier too.

Interesting -- it appeared on A-Z but they never added it when it was out (although they did spin the follow-up, "These Days" in low rotation.)

Worth mentioning, I suppose: KFOG has re-designed their website yet again. It's clearly a Cumulus corporate template that all their stations are using -- there's actually a built-in SweetJack Link at the top of the page (!) as well as separate links for KFOG's own player and for iHeartRadio.

ETA: after someone posted on FB about the user-unfriendliness of the new website, soemone at KFOG replied:

"The sites were dropped on us yesterday with little information...but our web director is working as fast as he can to make updates. At the top of our list is to move the 'just played' featured to a more prominent spot."

so, your typical corporate clusterfuck, then.

Is Icky still around?  Heather's doing the scoop now.

I figured he was just subbing in that capacity until they found a (female) replacement for... damn i've forgotten her name, the chick from Minnesota.  I assume Icky's still with KFOG, but I haven't listened in the morning for a while.

Hearing Steely Dan's Kid Charlemagne on the morning show rignt now--I don't think I've heard many (if any) tunes from this era get played during regular (i.e. non-10@10) programming since AL left.
Let's get right to it.

I think about once an hour they play the "It's a KFOG Classic!" sounder and then something old pops up.

Now Greg Gory is doing the scoop.  I haven't heard Heather for the past week.

Heard at 6:05 AM: "Brick" by Ben Folds Five.  The song's opening line: "6 AM, day after Christmas..."

Well played, KFOG.

Obviously not a Renee idea.

so, the new KFOG website has been up for over a month and the "Now Playing" widget in the upper left corner STILL doesn't work?

At least they're back to posting the 10@10 set-lists on that page.

Small gripe: They're posting the new ones at the bottom of the list, so you need to scroll down to see the latest setlist. Picky-picky-picky, but they should put the latest content at the top.

agreed, it's totally ass-backward but then that's not really surprising.

Gotta love the Foghead on their FB page who asked if they were going to play "Alices Restaurant" yesterday.  He actually thought it was a New Year's thing. Did he ever actually listen to the song? Yikes.
