Just realized we get another Friday the 13th next week.  "Holiday Hits From Hell" -- which Dave once did on a Friday 12/13 -- would be awesome but I somehow doubt it will happen.

12/13/02 - Friday the 13th....oh no, that means....HOLIDAY HITS FROM HELL!!

1. Singing Dogs - Jingle Bells
2. Barbara Streisand - Jingle Bells
3. Christmas Macarena
4. Madonna - Santa Baby
5. The Chipmunks - The Chipmunk Song
6. Bing Crosby & David Bowie - The Little Drummer Boy
7. Elmo & Patsy - Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer
8. Ray Stevens - Santa Claus is Watching You!
9. Cheech & Chong - Santa Claus & His Old Lady
10.Bobby Goldsboro - Snuffy's Goodbye Song

Throw in that Train Christmas song from a couple years ago and Renee could run it again!

Be careful what you wish for.

Actually I enjoyed that set a lot when it aired. It was one I regretted not archiving at the time, and of course it never reappeared as a classic. C'est la vie.
Let's get right to it.

Here are the debut dates of the last ten years to be added to the big
wheel.  I do not have the set lists to make any earlier determinations.
To be clear, I am talking about an entire set dedicated to one year, not
the appearence of individual songs.  Theme sets often have more
contemporary tracks.  Notably on December 31, 2009, Annalisa did a
decade review, playing one song from each of the "aughts."

July 2011 saw the instigation of the infamous program director-mandated revamp that emphasized format-friendly songs over oddities and more recent years over sixties and seventies. Also, the end of the Saturday marathon.

The pattern seems to be that Dave would introduce a new year in January, except when he
skipped doing that for a couple of years.  Annalisa largely ignored new years, until she caught
up by introducing four of them in one three-month period.

ETA:
July 2011 saw the instigation of the infamous program director-mandated revamp that emphasized format-friendly songs over oddities and more recent years over sixties and seventies.

Ah yes, that probably inspired Annalisa's additions to the Big Wheel...

With Monday's 1968 set, I thought it would be all downhill for the rest of the week.  And Wednesday's
2003 show, which held almost nothing of interest for me, seemed to confirm that.  I was really hoping
for an early '70s appearance, which fortunately we got on Thursday.  And then Friday's Beatles (Yay!)
tribute.  So that was three above average shows this week, and it's the first time in a looong time
that I've missed having the Saturday morning marathon.

I was thinking the same thing. It was also that rare week without a '90s set (tho' 1989 is close enuf, I suppose).

So this being the third week of the Annalisa Era 2.0, we finally seem to have gotten a decent representation of years for the week: 60s, 70s, two from the 80s (both ends), and 90s.  Far less gripe-worthy than the first two weeks. And the sets seem to be improving too. Guess maybe she was a little rusty. (Although from day 1 her sets were still far better than most of what we got from her predecessor.)
Let's get right to it.

Well, the production values have improved a thousand-fold. And the delivery -- she loves what she does. I'd say that '90s and '00s sets are still a problem and that's probably out of her control. (The Peak's '90s sets generally suck too). But '60s '70s and early-to-mid '80s are gonna be swell, generally.

While she hasn't yet equaled her stellar March 10th 1971 debut, I agree that we've seen a marked
improvement over the previous year and a half.  It seems likely that more good and great sets
will be forthcoming.

I may be a little late in figuring this out, but I just realized that KFOG's Soundcloud page (where all their audio content gets posted on the SOundcloud site) has everything they've posted on Soundcloud back to the first of this year, and earlier (I just haven't scrolled that far back to see how far it really goes).

So if you want to hear Annalisa's first set back on KFOG or you're missing the sound of Renee's voice saying "let's get right to it" they're still there for you.

ETA: OK, I scrolled back as far as it went. Looks like there are 10@10s  back to September of last year (and one random one from late August), but there are also a whole lot of what I'm guessing are Playspace sets (short, mostly around 10 minutes) going all the way back to October of 2012.

This article is about radio in general, but it could pertain to 10@10:

Whereas some in the industry invoke the word “stable” to describe its condition, Scott does not equate that to being “healthy.” Since his adulation for the medium extends to when he was five years old, his desire is that it should be better than stable. “Part of that healthiness will come from kicking it,” he suggests. “Hopefully, the future is bright for radio — but — those in charge must wake up a bit. They have to realize that there are so many other methods to hear product. Even my mom streams online. She knows how to type in the Righteous Brothers and create her own station. Even under the context of a specialty show, you cannot just continue to play it safe. You must start to have fun and provide Olivia Newton-John listeners with an experience that will occasionally keep them away from other entertainment platforms. I do not know why some program directors are so scared to play certifiably huge number one records. When people hear Olivia Newton-John’s ‘Let’s Get Physical,’ they smile and remember the video. I do not know of one person who has a negative opinion of the artist. She is beautiful, her songs were cool, and there are tons of them. Still though, I do not know of one classic hits or oldies station that plays ‘Let’s Get Physical.’ That part is a shame.”
