As of 11:23 pm on the 17th, no clues. Guess she's doing it all herself tomorrow.

I wonder if the new rotation means we'll get '90s Chartbusters at some point.

Or a 70s chartbusters.  It's been a while since the 70s landed on the wheel.

I just heard a 10@10 ad saying OJ Simpson Trial...so we're getting 1995.

Still hoping for "Run Away" by Real McCoy...but that's not going to happen.

Wouldn't mind hearing Martin Page's "In The House Of Stone And Light" either, but that probably won't happen either.

Would've requested "C'mon Billy" by PJ Harvey, which might've been played a few months back, but not now!

AL just posted that it's '95 on FB but didn't solicit requests.  My meager 1995 wishlist

Waterfalls (TLC)
You Gotta Be (Des’ree)
I Need You Around (Smokin Popes)
Pouring Water on a Drowning man (Elvis C)

isn't worth the trouble (MAYBE the EC might get played, as KFOG actually played that song in '95).  I'm gonna skip this one today -- first of many absences on my part, I'll wager.

A boring set is somewhat redeemed by Portishead's "Sour Times" - which my memory places in 1997, but oh well.
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”

These are the Good Sour Times!  Saw Portishead on this tour.  Freakin' amazing.

Love Wilco, but "Box Full of Letters" has been played more than a few times, no?

I was wondering if Chris Isaak would show up.  Love the twangly geetars in his music.

I see on FB that AL played Edwyn Collins again. A fave of mine, absoulutely, but another '90s Katrina as of now.

Seems like this was underwhelming, overall. Sad, really.

Video clips of Empire Records look pretty cheesey, but I'm a sucker for Liv Tyler, so maybe I should get around to watching it.

Could've sworn that was Clint Eastwood doing that Windows 95 promo, but Google says no.

Oh wait, was there music played too? Huh, so I guess there is a Wilco song I like. Go figure.

a better soundtrack than a movie, that's for sure. As '90s teen flicks go, it's no Clueless.
