least-necessary: SRV. Sorry, but if he were still alive he wouldn't turn up on 10@10 hardly ever.

On my list of Guilty Displeasures.

Since SRV was what I was listening to most in the 80's, I would have to disagree.

yes, he was on my playlist, too.  He was all over the rock stations then.  I was thrilled to see him on Austin City Limits around that time. And then I got to see him in concert twice: he opened for Dire Straits in Toronto (1985) and then I caught him in his post-rehab stage in NYC.  I thought he was better the first time.

Uber BOS of the year to the Blue Nile.
Echo and the Bunnymen and Naked Eyes also get BOS's.

Adrian did get to here the intro...I brought my MP3 player which also has FM radio & headphones to the theater on the off chance that we'd still be viewing trailers as 10:00, and I was right.  But the movie was just starting, so after the first few bars of BotW we focused on the flick.  Will listen to the whole set on the replay.

Ahhh...I die!!!  That song still rules.

YouTube is the best thing ever, I swear.  I remember taping the Belle Stars video off of California Music Channel on KOFY.  We couldn't afford cable TV back then.

That's been not uncommon lately. Last night's started at like 10:08, and I've heard some in recent months kick off as late as 10:15. It's like Big Rick has a certain list of songs he has to play, and until they're done he's not turning it over to 10@10. And I still think he's voice-tracking the last couple hours of his show.
Let's get right to it.

Hrm... you'd almost think they're being paid to play some of these "new" tunes (that are never heard the other 21 hours of the day).

In that case, at least pay-for-play is being put to a good use, for once!

last night certainly supports that theory.  KFOG ran a good 6-7 minutes of ads from a couple minutes of ten to roughly five after, then they played (w/o any DJ intro) two more songs both NTM & sounding very 2010-ish.  Replay started at 10:14.

I'm calling them "schizo-FOG" these days -- it's like they're 2 diff stations day and night.
