I already hate this James Bay guy: his song is called "Let it Go" but it's not the Frozen hit.

Let it go
Let it be
You be you
I'll be me


Jeebus.

Renee played "The Promise" by When in Rome this morning around 6:45; I can't remember that one being in KFOG rotay (tho' it certainly oughta be).  It's something of a staple on Kiss-FM these days.

KFOG announced they are banning the play of "Royals" until the Series is over.

So, in KC is there a station refusing to play Young the Giant?

If 1990 were to appear soon, AL really oughta play Giant's "I'll See You In My Dreams", forgettable as that hit was.

There was some discussion on the "Fogheads for the Old Format" FB page about the current music mix, and comments along the lines of "artists they used to play all the time" that aren't played any more. Hardly news to us. And speaking of former KFOG staples, The Bone played Kenny Wayne Shepard this afternoon, which was something of a surprise to me.

New contender for KFOG's most-repeated oldie: Queen "You're My Best Friend", which I have heard 4 or 5 times this week -- and The Bone has it in rotation too.

I prefer this to Killer Queen.  Fond memories from summer of 76.  :)

Oh I do, too -- and apparently their most recent focus-group felt the same way.

good lord I am so sick of "Riptide". They must play it 6 or 7 times a day. No joy in Vance Joy.

This morning I was stunned to hear them play the live Fleetwood Mac at the Record Plant from 1974.  A great KSAN broadcast.  They played Black Magic Woman > Oh Well.  Of course Renee said it was from 1973 instead, and made no mention of it being Bob Welch on lead guitar/vocals.

Did she at least mention it was from KSAN?

It's rare that I express any approval for a commercial, but I gotta say I get a bit of nostalgic enjoyment from the Berkeley Shreds spot that runs on the KFOG stream, with two actors portraying Beethoven and Mozart, complete with cheesy German accents and wacky pronunciation ("com-pooter"). Hearkens back to the days when radio stations produced a lot of their ads in-house with crazy scripts like this one.

On the other hand: I am really tiring of Train's latest "Angel in Blue Jeans" single. (Where did they steal that title from anyway? I know I've heard it elsewhere.) The song apes the relatively recent Mumford/Lumineers/neo-pseudo-bluegrass trend, but I don't consider that a positive. Time for it to go away, along with a number of the other songs in heavy rotation (Kongos, Hozier, Vance Joy, Milky Chance, and the list goes on).
Let's get right to it.

as I said when it first appeared, the Train song is a blatant example of Desperately Trying to Sound Llke Everything Else on the Radio.  The way that songs stick around in current and recurrent rotation for months and even years is one of the many things wrong with radio these days.
