KFOG, But Not 10@10

[urth]

anyone else hear the Led Zep Song Title Spelling Bee this morning? Truly painful.

yes, it was odd, to say the least.  What's the big Zep deal?  Are they coming to SF?  It seems like yesterday was about the Satanic message in Stairway!

The three surviving members did a reunion show in London last week, and seems like tons of Fogheads can't get enough of it. Lots of rumors, but no confirmation of any further dates at this time. As always, Plant is being rather circumspect, but he did announce European dates with Allison Krause.

yes, even I know about the reunion, and it sounds like it was a good show, but it just seems like a little excess; but then again, excess is what it's all about, eh?

In conjunction with the reunion show, they have released yet-another best-of CD and have released a remastered version of Song Remains the Same with bonus tracks. And those two goodies are a Morning Show prize giveaway every day this week. Hence the "spelling bee", in which folks thought "D'yer Mak'er" began with "G" or "J".

CG's website has a story saying Percy's put the kibosh on a reunion tour.

Was "Carouselambra" one of them?

Hey, did I miss it, or was there almost no discussion of the Concert for Kids after the fact?

Yup. and the aforemention "D'yer Mak'er" and also "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" (and yes -- apostrophes and hypens count!)

I heard them talk about what a fab time they had during the first hour the next morning -- but then that hour's all I usually hear of the Morning Show

Yesterday Dave read the "live" Sharks spot -- "You like your Thornton getting raves and your Nabokov making saves" -- and mispronounced Nabokov.  So today he read it again and simply deleted the Nabokov part.  Guess he doesn't follow hockey -- there's no Latino players

Who's singing lead on this new Eagles tune, "Somebody"?  Doesn't quite sound like Frey to me, and I know it's not Henley. I only realized it was the Iggles when the harmonies kicked in.

I only heard it once, but I though it was Frey.

ETA: according to the AMG review:

"...the second disc of Long Road Out of Eden...generally feels stuck in the late '80s, as Walsh spends seven minutes grooving on "Last Good Time in Town" as if he were a Southwestern Jimmy Buffett with a worldbeat penchant, Glenn Frey sings Jack Tempchin and John Brannen's "Somebody" as if it were a sedated, cheerful "Smuggler's Blues," and the whole thing feels polished with outdated synthesizers."

his voice/my ears are both getting old, I guess...

Hey all -- the new board looks swanky.  Glad all the old posts got migrated over in the update.  :-}

Actually this is 10@10 related... my wife heard a funny "sound button/bite" during NPR's Fresh Air the other day.

She swears it was a classical cover of that song that Dave often plays during 10@10s that has a latin sound/beat to it and a woman exclaiming "Ai, ai..." in ecstacy.

Does anybody know what song that is?  Maybe I'll have to post an audio of my wife doing her version of it to help.  ;-}

I think you mean Jungle Fever by the Chakachas. It's showed up in a few 72 sets as well as one Valentine's Day and one Thankgiving Turkey set.

But we'd still love to hear your wife's version...

Apparently the KFOG jocks have been commanded to post about their favorites of '07. Most of them tossed off a cursory post of a few hundred words or so (although Rosalie must have listed 30+ albums at least). But check out what Annalisa posted. Yikes, she goes on and on and on about her favorite shows--and none of them are currently on the kfog playlist--Iggy, Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Arcade Fire, Patti Smith, and...Kid ROCK?!? And lengthy addenda on Henry Rollins and the Dalai Lama. By far the most interesting blog she's written, and I don't think she uses the phrase "you phenomenal human being" once...

And what did Dave post? He ignored the edict altogether and posted some slides of Morey family Xmases past. Worth a look, you'll get to see what Dave looked like as a longhaired, hippy freak around, say, 74 I'm guessing.

Turns out Dave was the missing Winter brother:
