Oww...this Hurts!

if it hurts when you pee or listen to KFOG, see a doctor ... or change the station, whatever's easier.

[Lightnin' Rod]

Is this the only song KFOG will play off of "Sign o' the Times"? LN3

It occurs to me that an interesting twist for a 10@10 would be "10 great title tracks from one great year."  A 10@10 with nothing but title tracks, like Prince and Peter Wolf in this set.  We could call it a Robin Trower set, as, except for Bridge of Sighs, the only really interesting track on any RT album is going to be the title track ("Long Misty Days", "In City Dreams", "For Earth Below", etc.).

Just a random thought...

Someone on FB said "I love her haunting voice" and I couldn't tell if they meant AL or Michael Stipe. Oh, snap!

And while we're making suggestions (I like Rod's above) I was thinking that since we've been denied a Niners Super Bowl Set for next Friday, maybe a  "NY vs Boston" set -- 5 songs for each city,  either songs that mention the towns or bands from each city or some combo. Just a random thought.

[Here'sToYa!]

indeed, it's an uber-trina at this point (lemme guess: requested by SRW?).

Nope (stickin' up for my South Bay homegirl): "U GOT THE LOOK -Prince"

[Here'sToYa!]

Check it out:  It's the top of the hour LN!

this one has grown on me over the years, despite trying SO hard to paint an epic picture of middle America.  but hey, I guess much (most?) of John Mellonhead's stuff does that.

I love that crazy Midwestern f***er!

[Here'sToYa!]

I've given up asking for . . . "Housequake".

She's made you "shut up already. Damn!"

and DC is the fault!

I really liked today's set overall.  I think AL's choice of clips really helped set the mood for me.  Albert Brooks did a fine job in Broadcast News.  A well-written character and good acting.

I've always like him, and recently I've been (re)discovering some of the work he did for the first season of SNL.  He was tapped to do about a film each week, in fact, and was intended to be a big part of what they were doing there: make fun of TV.  In the fourth show he didn't have a film, and in the opening credits say "No Film By Albert Brooks" -- heheh.

and if you (or anyone here) has never seen his first full-length feature, Real Life (1979), a satire of cinema-verite TV (specifically "American Family" which starred the Louds) it is pretty great.  Shame he was snubbed by the Oscars this week for Drive.
