Not sure if any of you are friends on FB with Mike Slavko better known in his younger years as M. Dung, but he seems to be in a bit of a bad way. Information here:

Dave apparently is in town -- he made a brief appearance on AL's show yesterday, according to sources.

It occurred to me today that this is the first year in quite a few that I haven't heard the Cal Academy of Sciences "Tis the Season for Science" commercial where they parody various Xmas carols.

I've heard it ... the one with "Jack Frost nipping at your proboscis?"  Maybe it was some other station, though; except for 10at10, I avoid KFOG.

that's the one!  I haven't heard it on KFOG, and traditionally I'd hear it every morning in the 6:00 hour, from Thanksgiving to New Years. Of course, I tend to listen to KCSM in the car these days so I dunno who else might be airing it.

So, "My 3 Songs" is now called "Playlist Puzzle"?  WTF?

ETA: oh, and "KFOG A-to-Z" returns Monday morning. Color me underwhelmed.

I note that their website says A-to-Z is "Jan 4 to Jan 10", meaning it'll be a rather perfunctory effort, I guess. (Last time they did it was exactly a year ago, and it lasted 8 days and held few surprises.

I was listening the other morning and Renee said it's a partial selection of A to Z, because, you know, with *all* the variety of the KFOG library, it would go on all year.  Whatever.

Someone on the "Fogheads for the Old Format" FB page posted: "Who sings that song, that goes... take me to church....... I like that song..."

Yes, after a year-and-a-half of them playing it 6 times a day, he finally noticed it. SMH.

I would welcome that.

New Releases Tuesday... which was formerly New Releases Thursday.. is now New Releases Friday. They've also moved Movie Jesus and Weekend Sherpa to Fridays, so that the Fri Morning Show is now your one-stop, get-ready-for-the-weekend headquarters.

Looking at TuneGenie for the last 3 hours, KFOG played exactly ONE song from before 1980 -- the Cars, of course, "Bye Bye Love" from '78... which I think they play multiple times a week. So much for that "ooo! they're playing more old stuff!" thread in the Fogheads for the Old Format FB group.

Man, KFOG's "oldies" are really getting well-worn. Pre-10@10 we got "In Your Eyes" followed by "Personal Jesus".  Sheesh.
