Oh hey, if anybody wants to hear a "Geezer" embarass himself, tune in for tomorrow's 7:30AM "Mind the Gap", where I miss a really easy question. To be fair, 1) I shouldn't have been using a speakerphone, 2) I should've asked them to replay the clip, 3) I had Google open, 4) the prize is a concert that's on a school-night, so we wouldn't have been able to go anyways.

Yeah, I'm just trying to make myself feel better. Also, the "hipster" was a 29-year old guy from Berkeley who's going to be on Jeopardy next month. Gah!

you're practically a part-time deejay at this point!

I meant to mention earlier that Kaiser has purchased temporary naming rights -- "from the Kaiser Permanente studio" sez the promo.  I remember when AL was on K-FOX they had the "DGDG.com studios" so it's become a widespread thing I guess.

New Releases Thursday has mysteriously morphed into... New Releases Tuesday. Renee, NoName and Greg each play a fave new song of theirs in the course of the show. Renee's pick today was Father John Misty (he's not a priest).

Yeah, that is weird how it moved to Tuesday. A search for New Release Tuesday turns up... a podcast of Christian music?

Looks like they killed New Release Thursday back in December: http://www.kfog.com/common/more.php?m=56&r=23&mode=3&is_corp=0

Ah I heard that too. So weird. Does that mean they can get flu shots during the show?

Whoa, "Today in Rock History" -- I don't think I've ever heard that canned thing before. Have they been playing it long?

radio history trivia: stations used to do a lot of special things on Thursday mornings (big contests etc) because that was the day-of-the-week that weekly Arbitron diaries traditionally started (when folks used to fill those out by hand). Now that ratings are done differently, I guess Thurs is just another day. The Peak does New Releases Wednesday, iirc.

A month or two, at least. I think it's a space-filler for the stream, I don't think it goes out over the air.

Ah that would explain it, as I seldom listen to the stream.

Renee's pick for New Releases Thursday Tuesday was "Kansas City" from that New Basement Tapes project. Better late than never, I guess.

It also appears they haven't dumped Mike Inouye's traffic reports after all.

Siouxie's "Kiss Them For Me" in regular rotay seems a mild surprise to me; don't recall hearing it outside 10@10.

KFOG is having their Holiday Party today -- WTF?

The Decemberists "Make You Better" is a welcome addition to the rotay, and I don't say that very often.

OTOH: I never need to hear "Hey There Delilah" ever again. And my word is good.

Mine, too.  When I heard the beginning of that I was sorely tempted to actually call in and complain loudly, but given a 'Classic Set' was in the offing, I figured there was probably no one likely willing to pick up the phone and listen to my rant.

True fact though...the Delilah in question was his real college sweetheart & the reason they were so far apart in the lyrics is that she was training for the Olympics in Track (hurdles, iirc) and made the team as a 1st alternate but never got to compete.

Song is still waaay overrated & was WAAAY, WAAAY overplayed back in the day.

Steeplechase actually. Check out a Wall Street Journal blogger try to learn to do it from her in their funny series "How Hard Could It Be?"

But yeah, I don't like the song either.

Altho' I don't have much use for DMB -- and here he is for the 2nd time this morning -- I'll concede it makes sense for KFOG to play him a lot because, really, who else in town does? Alice, maybe? certainly not The Bone or K-FOX. OTOH, "Tainted Love" is played by KISS-FM and probably even KOIT.
