Seems more Dead being played than in years past.  Like.

I've noticed that too.  I think one of DC's theories is that the local angle works for his format.

Dred introduced our next H song, "Henry" from Keb' Mo'...and then played a horrendous live version of "Only Wanna Be With You" by Hootie & the Blowfish.  Whoops.

I heard that too.  At first I thought it was a parody that was going to turn into something else, presumably called "Henry".

It may be my imagination, but today it feels like the playlist is skewing more towards KFOG's new style with more Killers, Fray, Foster the People. It's a secret plot to make you think it's still good. I've had to switch it off numerous times...

I think it's just a function of where songs fall Alphabetically. One hour seems "modern", the next sounds '60s-centric.  This morning, I heard "Hey Joe" and "Hey Jude" back-to-back -- and luckily I missed the "Hey Mama"/"Hey Soul Sister"/"Hey There Delilah" trifecta. But there's been (overall) a surprising number of "old KFOG" songs in the mix and I still can't decide if it's an attempt to broaden the base again or if it's "the last farewell" before a drastic switch.  Like, maybe The Bone is gonna become KNBR-FM and therefore KFOG needs to play more "classics" again.

When's the last time you heard Elton's "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" on Kfog?  It's okay by me, but a bit disengenuous.

I can't say I've heard it on KFOG before.

I think it's kind of evil!  They are playing wonderful music, true classics, and they exist alongside all this other drek 'in the library.'  So, by association, the new music is just as good as the old music.  You know, the old music is just nostalgia for old farts, Foster the People is supposed to represent future classics.

I don't want it to end!  I hope they bring this back again next year without having to fire people.

Turned it on just in time for the "Jesus" songs. Will we get BOTH "Jesus is Just Alright"s?  I much prefer the Byrds to the Doobs.

Sadly: Doobs only. On to "Jet"

Didja see this from DC on the KFOG front page?

A message from Dennis for Fogheads:

One of the most difficult things in life is dealing with change. We get into our comfortable patterns. Challenging those patterns and finding new ways of doing things is scary, but it can be invigorating and even exciting.

After much consideration, I have made the very difficult decision that it’s time to introduce a brand new morning show on KFOG. It’s a show we’re calling KFOG In The Morning, and it will debut right after Memorial Day.

The Morning After will feature a fresh cast of characters that will immediately put you in a great mood, starting your day with information that’s relevant to you and, of course playing great music to give a positive start to your day. We hope that you will enjoy the new KFOG In The Morning with Tony, Greg and Melanie.

Unfortunately, this will mean that Webster and Irish Greg are leaving the station. We sincerely appreciate their years of service at KFOG and the sacrifices in they have made to get up early every morning to entertain Fogheads. They have been and will remain friends of everyone here.

Thank you for your support of KFOG and we sincerely hope you will find KFOG In The Morning with Tony, Greg and Melanie an enlightening and inspiring experience.

Dennis Constantine
KFOG Program Director

So is the "The Morning After" or ain't it? Anybody know who Tony and Melanie might be?
