I'll never understand how they can deliver this line with a straight face.

Just got the weekly "KFOG e-mail" and it's Kaboom! time once again. The official announcement will be Monday morning but the deets: Sat. May 10th, performers are Matt Nathanson, Collective Soul and Los Lobos, and tix this year are 15 bucks plus service charge* (weren't they 10 last year? if so -- Sheesh.)


I finally dug around and found the "Kaboom" thread from last year -- tix were indeed 10 bucks in '07. So that's a 50% increase.  Again: sheesh.

This Matt Nathanson song (Drown Me In Love?) is leaning heavily toward the bland, and accentuated by the fact that the one line with the hook (somethingsomething, loosen my lips, faith and desire, swing of your hips...) is repeated about 50 times throughout the song with no lyrical variation or anything. Not exactly fine songcraft.

ETA: One hopes he'll go back to playlist purgatory once his Ka-Boom turn is over.

Jinx between threads--I made almost the same comment at the end of today's 10@10 thread.

And the next time around, Annalisa pulled out Bruce's original version of For You.

One last comment and i promise I'll stop: Now they've got the Wallflowers' Three Marlenas. Hope Lou Reed is getting royalties for this--the guitar part is 100 percent Sweet Jane.

Sweet Jane is 100% Louie Louie, Hang On Sloopy, Wild Thing, or whatever.

Ha! Throw in Alice Cooper's "Be My Lover", which always seemed a total cop of "Sweet Jane" to me.

sounds like one of those Rock-of-Ages, 5-decades-with-1-artist sets: Santana across the years.

Today's world class rock of ages commentary: Following 10@10, a Santana twin-spin: Jingo in the 60s, followed by Everything's Coming Our Way in the 70s. Could it be Winning representing the 80s and Smooth for the 90s to come?

ETA: Cha-CHING!!! Three out of four...

"Smooth" is an '00s tune, no?  ('90s & '00s blend together for me)

oops, it's "Put ya Lights on", from the same LP, and yeah, it's '90s -- can't believe that's so long ago.  So what's the Santana "now"?

"Smooth" carried over from fall '99 well into 2000.

and now the '00s santana is that awful thing with the Nickleback guy.  *shudder*  We all deserve a prize just for sitting thru this.

and worse yet, Rock Of Ages means no 10@10 Bonus track.
