5 Aug 2011: it's... 1969!!
« on: August 04, 2011, 01:53:37 PM »
the new rotation dictates an '80s set ... but wouldn't '60s be swell? it would be the first time we hit 5 different decades in one week, if Al chose to go there.

It's 1969! 

I requested "Matty Groves" by Fairport Convention (seconded by Geoff).  Almost NO chance of that!  8+ minutes of traditional English folk/"rock" -- fogheads would be up in arms!  But it would extend what is traditionally a short set.  Plus it's just a great song.

Indeed, and I seconded someone's request for "Soft Parade", which would have a similar effect.

I wonder if DC has been getting comments from folks re: don't throw the 10@10 baby out with the trying-to-attract-younger-listeners bathwater. This is certainly an unexpected delight to have an "old school" week, rotation-wise.

And it's on a Friday, in accordance with the convention established under the Morey regime.

It is cool to see this, I'll admit.  And I already got my 00s-90s-80s this week, so y'all can have your 60s. ;)  But, now you know how I used to feel. :P (Like, that time we didn't get any 90s for four weeks.)

and we totally feel for ya (really). But if every week could be like this -- something for everybody instead of 2 '80s, 2 '90s and a pre-'1980 bone -- I don't think it would mess up the general demo-youthening, as long as they're still playing "Closing Time" 3 times a day.  ;)

WOS, The Banana Splits

The 'oo is much better.

"you know where to put the cork"  That line always made me uncomfortable.  Bad imagination!

I'd rather a spliff than a Split, esp in 1969.

well, so far so overly-familiar. Even this moon landing --> Bowie segue has been done a few times. But I guess we shouldn't complain.

Good as it is, I don't need to hear it on 10@10 ever again.
