A thread for discussion about 10@10 in general.
Comments, observations, insights, complaints, whining...
-
In another thread I mentioned that in six months of hosting 10@10, Renee
has yet to do a "set of mystery." Recently I noticed another staple has
long been absent. The last "vertical tasting" -- re-branded by AL as
"chartbusters" -- was July 5, 2011. I'm not at all saddened by this.
I've never heard a vertical set that I particularly liked. But perhaps
it's of interest to others. BTW, this would correspond to about the
time that shifts were made in the musical direction of KFOG, the
Saturday marathon was eliminated, etc.
-
The one vertical tasting set I enjoyed was a Friday the 13th "Hits From Hell" edition.
I can't remember the exact setlist from that episode, but I do remember John Denver's
"Thank God I'm A Country Boy" was played. ;D

General list of complaints which are specific to RR (and I'm even giving her a very reluctant pass on her rather uninteresting setlists):
1) Pathetic social media interaction.
2) Clips that are:
i) too long
ii) not really relevant
3) Songs being played in wrong (and in many cases multiple) years.
4) Amount of errors, both on the technical and the factual.
5) Lack of sense of humor about #1-4.

VT/Chartbuster sets were always, by their very nature, kinda uninteresting because the idea was that these were "big hits" from the Billboard chart. Dave and AL might throw in one chezzy pop song if it happened to fit, but mostly it was songs that we now call LNs. Given how many hits DC makes RR play daily, such sets would be redundant. But yeah, "Mystery Years"were always fun.
When AL took over, she was told to cut way back on theme sets, so a lot of Dave's great staples (Strictly Instrumental, Motown Monday and of course Hits From hell) fell by the wayside, sadly.

Another complaint, but this one is probably directed at DC...
Not taking requests or suggestions on Facebook (or email).

It's funny, really, how stations fall all over themselves to have a "social media presence" and to *appear* to be interacting with the audience, but AL actually DID that, in spades, and spent many hours each week at it, and suddenly Cumulus was like "wait, you're actually playing songs the listeners ask for? WTF?"
We tend to dump on RR for her "I don't do social media" thing, but I'm sure DC was very happy to let the FB-request thing die. I'd've loved to be a fly-on-the-wall during his arguments with AL about the songs she played that he disapproved of.

One more: the uninspired, cookie-cutter, by-the-numbers (literally) script she reads as a backsell after each set. "...the XXth song of our set today...." More evidence that she hasn't spoken an original thought on-air since the Clinton administration.

Thanks Urth. This, very specifically this. For all the excuses given RR ("oh DC is making her do this"), the very least she could do is make it sound as if she cares.

Yes, this. I just don't think she's ever sounded very good on air and especially not very good handling KFOG's signature show.
#s 3 and 4 are the really big pet peeves of mine. I can probably tolerate some songs being one year off, but some of her songs are off by 3 years. :-/ That makes it sound less like a show about highlighting one year and more like a KFOX or Alice sample hour.
I'm willing to give her a pass for #2. I agree that a lot of them are too long but she--or is it Icky? Is he even still around?--actually has had a bunch of clever/relevant clips, in my opinion. AL and Dave's weren't always relevant either and AL's production was kind of shaky for the first year or so. In fact, interestingly enough I think AL's production & clips only started getting *really* good after DC laid the smack down about song selection.

Re #2, I think they've (RR/Icky or whoever's engineering the show/DC/player to be named later) been coming up with better clips lately--actual news/event related stuff rather than just old commercials and such. And their segues have started to improve as well. AL leaned heavily on vintage car and other sorts of ads in her first year or so, too. Just sayin'.
I do think they're harvesting some clips (and bites thereof) from Dave's old sets. In the 74 set we had recently there were two very brief snippets of Sammy Davis Jr.'s Manischewitz White Concord Grape commercial that Dave used to drop in periodically.
I'd *love* to hear that old M & L Cocktail Lounge spot again.
-
agreed on the above comments about clips. Dave's news clips were often VERY long, esp if he was trying to make a political point, and he played movie clips that were often endless (Victor/Victoria comes to mind, and I recall a Fried Green Tomatoes thing that had to be 5 minutes long). The first thing I noticed when AL took over was that her clips were much shorter, which I saw as a "this is NOT your father's 10@10" thing. And she made it work. I don't mind a lengthy digession if it's interesting, but some of RR's clips just seem too random.

Mystery and Themed sets are often pretty fun (as are mystery theme sets!), but the VT/Chartbusters were uneventful.. Like listening to the last half hour of Casey Kasem's countdowns.
About the clips.. I do not mind long clips. In fact, I prefer longer clips often, esp if the source is something I didn't know too well. I know it's music show, but I'll happily delve into some film for a minute (which is REALLY long by radio standards) if the clip is well-chosen and evocative.
But I agree on the wrong year stuff -- there's no wiggle room there. Pick a standard (US Release date sounds about right) and effing stick to it.
We need some music nerds up in the KFOG, yo! Renée comes off like a so many people in the digital age who half-assedly try some randowm activity -- juggling, ghost riding the whip, mentos and Diet Coke, deejaying a radio show in a major market, whatever -- and claim they have expertise in it because it was captured on film/tape and uploaded to YouTube.

The one vertical tasting set I enjoyed was a Friday the 13th "Hits From Hell" edition.
I can't remember the exact setlist from that episode, but I do remember John Denver's

I have that episode lying around somewhere...

BOS, Styx. Obviously. I love that song.

For some months I have been gradually listening to all my DM 10@10 tapes for
the express purpose of anotating my set lists with the clip information as
AL used to do when she posted her sets on the KFOG 10@10 web page. So the
differences in the use of clips is very fresh to me.
As others have noted, Dave's clips tended to be longer than Annalisa's.
What I have discovered is that there were almost always less of them. Four
or five clips is a lot for a DM set, and frequently it was only three, two,
or even one. And then there were the occasional "news-free" sets that
intentionally had no current events at all. An AL set was usually the
complete reverse, with a seven or eight clips, and sometimes a clip between
every song.
I generally have no complaint about Dave's longer clips, because they were
usually good material. I much prefer getting a longer excerpt of a Beatles'
Christmas record, for example. DM's news clips were often a well-crafted
compilation of reports and quotes that outlined the story arc of an event in
under sixty seconds. He would also over-dub long fade-outs or bridges with
larger amounts of material. As one example, consider my notes for the
Friday Night Champagne Remix of "Time Has Come Today" from 11-Jun-04:
4. Chambers Brothers - Time Has Come Today
(Friday Night Champagne Remix: over-dubbed with: LBJ will not seek the
nomination; Robert F. Kennedy campaign speech; Senator Kennedy shot and
killed; Edward Kennedy RFK eulogy; Democratic National Convention and the
Chicago demonstrations; Humphrey convention speech; Spiro Agnew nominating
Richard Nixon; Nixon chooses Maryland Governor Agnew as running mate;
Humphrey campaign speech; Nixon wins presidential election)
Whew!
Don't forget that DM also created clip theme shows. In between ten songs
from the target year would be a series of clips solely dedicated to one
notable news story from that time: the 1968 Democratic National Convention,
the Apollo 11 mission, the Watergate imbroglio, or the Patty Hearst saga.
I had a brief e-mail exchange with Annalisa a few months into her stint as
time-travel hostess. She admitted that she was concerned about putting
together shows that were as good as Dave's, not only because his were done
well, but he made it look easy! There's a lot of work behind the scenes to
create a good clip montage.
In a related observation, Dave made much greater use of various sounders
(if that's the correct term), such as: "Let's go, go, go, go, go! You're
listening to the go-go sound of all-America radio." And of course, the Don
Pardo bits. It's the kind of interstitial sonic fluff I associate with
Top-40 stations, and I assume that Dave accumulated it earlier in his
career.
I don't understand the complaint about clips that aren't really relevant.
If a news event, movie, television show, or product advertisement is from
that year, how is it not relevant? As far as news versus ads, Dave had them
as well, for example a collection of cigarette ads or the Amazing Coca Cola
Medley.

My recollection is that Dave used both the date of release or the date(s) a
song was on the chart as he saw fit, with the result that some songs did get
played in two different years. But this was a rare occurrence. I don't know
what charts were used or how this might effect deep album tracks that never
charted. My opinion is to give a little leeway on this point, particularly
as I have taken it for some of my own 10@10 set creations.
WRT the comments about half-assing it, I would put it this way.
Dave lived this music history and knows it cold.
AL lived some of the music history and knows it well, studied the rest and
was a very good student.
Renee looks up stuff on the Internet and tries to pass that off as
expertise.

Whew!
Easily one of the greatest single things ever heard in 10@10 history. To which I would add the various "mega-mixes" he did, usually for either "Hits From Hell" or "Turkeys" sets (Cher, Barry Manilow, Ray Stevens) or just because (the amazing Jesus Christ Superstar and Hair medleys and the "Desiderata"/"Deteriorata" mash-up).

<rant>
This is where I diverge from all the non-SF'ers (by that I mean people who weren't listening to KMPX/KSAN in '67) on this tune. "Time Has Come" was totally taking over the local airwaves in late '67. It was playing out of every record store. I saw them at Winterland in 12/67, so for me, it will be '67. I realize I'm just a grumpy old man, but this was important to me at the time, and still is.

This is why I gave Renee a little leeway at first in this regard, but my leeway stopped when it was clear that she and/or "the 10@10 committee" was doing this in just about every set, with no rhyme or reason, and regularly being up to 3 years off.

Wasn't sure where to post this, but I think here is okay.

5. Julian Lennon - Well I Don't Know

6. Paul McCartney - No More Lonely Nights
(Commercial: KFOG TV ad)
7. Nik Kershaw - The Riddle (TANC, RGMike!)
8. Chaka Khan - My Love Is Alive

7. Nik Kershaw - The Riddle (TANC, RGMike!)
hahahaha! There was also a Kershaw reference on the AT40 geek-board, re: they played "Wouldn't it Be Good" as an extra on this weekend's March 1984 chart, and they rarely play extras that never actually made the Top 40.
And of course the McCartney tune is one of my long-standing "wish list" entries for '84.

I archived quite a few 10@10s while I was living in SF, but one of the ones I really regret missing was the Christmas Hits From Hell set Dave did in 2002. It was truly great, and contained a number of songs that never appeared again, to my knowledge. Any chance you have that one?
Here's the list of what was included:
Singing Dogs Jingle Bells
Barbara Streisand Jingle Bells
anonymous Christmas Macarena
Madonna Santa Baby
Chipmunks The Chipmunk Song
Bing Crosby & David Bowie The Little Drummer Boy
Elmo & Patsy Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer
Ray Stevens Santa Claus Is Watching You!

If you listen, let me know what you think.
Listened to this one and your '79 effort yesterday. Both are really commendable efforts--your production skills are aces. These could easily pass for something that was actually aired--were it not for the more adventurous slate of tunes that DC et al would never venture to. Also enjoyed the clip selection, although hearing both versions of Rock Against Reagan reports ran on a bit long; some judicious editing (as DM often did) would have tightened it up considerably. Also the Tipper Gore clip was not too clean, but I'm sure you'd have used a clearer-sounding one if it were available. Sound quality aside, I dug the segue.
Musically I enjoyed it quite a bit-- I honestly don't know the last time I heard either State of Shock or Tina's version of 1984. And I don't think I'd ever heard the Chaka Khan cover of Love is Alive. However, for the average listener I think the set veered a little too far to the obscure (the '79 set fell victim to this more than this one; I'll address that in its thread). Ideally I'd like to hear songs I knew back in the day and haven't heard since then. Several of these (Talk Talk, Julian Lennon, Nik Kershaw and the aforementioned Chaka Khan tune) I had no memory of, although I'm sure that's not the case for everyone.
In any case, I'm impressed with your efforts here. You obviously "get" the concept and are doing a better job of executing it than the folks who are getting paid for it at KFOG. (If you want to reupload the '65 and '96 sets some time I'd love to give those a listen too. No rush, I don't always have time to listen while I work.)

I'm listening to it right now and it sounds awesome! Great production, TOTHC & Ending, and of course I love that Nik Kershaw song.

Wasn't sure where to post this, but I think here is okay.
Here's another attempt from me at sequencing a 10@10 set, this time 1984:
1. The Jacksons with Mick Jagger - State Of Shock
2. Van Halen - 1984 / Tina Turner - 1984

I'm listening now, too! great job again (I heard your 96 set, too.. which I liked)
kudos!
ETA: That Chaka Khan song was completely NTM. Anastacia does a version that is all diva disco, but I like the weird robot stylings of Chaka's here. reminds me a bit of Nona Hendrix's Transformation, although with way more poppers.

If you listen, let me know what you think.
Listened to this one and your '79 effort yesterday. Both are really commendable efforts--your production skills are aces. These could easily pass for something that was actually aired--were it not for the more adventurous slate of tunes that DC et al would never venture to. Also enjoyed the clip selection, although hearing both versions of Rock Against Reagan reports ran on a bit long; some judicious editing (as DM often did) would have tightened it up considerably. Also the Tipper Gore clip was not too clean, but I'm sure you'd have used a clearer-sounding one if it were available. Sound quality aside, I dug the segue.
Musically I enjoyed it quite a bit-- I honestly don't know the last time I heard either State of Shock or Tina's version of 1984. And I don't think I'd ever heard the Chaka Khan cover of Love is Alive. However, for the average listener I think the set veered a little too far to the obscure (the '79 set fell victim to this more than this one; I'll address that in its thread). Ideally I'd like to hear songs I knew back in the day and haven't heard since then. Several of these (Talk Talk, Julian Lennon, Nik Kershaw and the aforementioned Chaka Khan tune) I had no memory of, although I'm sure that's not the case for everyone.
In any case, I'm impressed with your efforts here. You obviously "get" the concept and are doing a better job of executing it than the folks who are getting paid for it at KFOG. (If you want to reupload the '65 and '96 sets some time I'd love to give those a listen too. No rush, I don't always have time to listen while I work.)
Regarding the newsclips -- yes, I realized they went a bit long. Comparing how news reports were back then to now, they went on and on! As for the Tipper Gore one, I couldn't locate a clean soundbite of her commenting on Prince. My other option was some sound from the PMRC hearings, but that was in 1985.
Originally, I had planned to use charting singles by Julian Lennon ("Valotte"), Nik Kershaw ("Wouldn't It Be Good"), and Chaka Khan ("I Feel For You"), but I think those were used in previous 10@10s. I think the question for me was how to balance out the hit singles with album cuts / more obscure tracks as bustouts to keep things "fresh" -- the one thing I wanted to avoid was having any LNs. With the Nik Kershaw and Chaka Khan songs I did use, consider them as "filled requests" ("The Riddle" for radical347 and RGMike, and "My Love Is Real" for RGMike).
I can reupload the '65 and '96 sets this weekend. SoundCloud has a space limit, so I wanted to rotate some of the sets I have ready.

CapnJack, I do plan on listening to one of your sets.... but it might be a couple of weeks before it happens. Sounds like you're living the dream, my friend!

Nice! A larger percentage of tunes I remember from that era, and the ones I didn't all sounded good. Particular props for the REM, Joan Jett, and Bryan Ferry tunes--oh, and Peter Wolf, too. The only negative comment is that the Club Nouveau tune sounds really dated by now. Another excellent job researching pulling soundbites, too.
So when can we get you to repost that '65 set you did a week or two back? I missed it on the first go-round. Ditto for the '96, iirc.

I'll repost one of them (your choice of which one first) either Tuesday or Wednesday, and the other I will repost the other Friday. I wanted to upload the 1987 and 1999 sets that I were fresh of the editing block first. ;)
Upcoming new sets: 1980, 1977, and 1969.

Okay, I've taken down the 1987 set and reuploaded the 1965 set:
1. The Rolling Stones - Down Home Girl
(Radio: Stan Freberg/Sarah Vaughan/Quincy Jones "Who Listens To Radio?")
2. The Animals - Worried Life Blues
3. The Kinks - Milk Cow Blues
(TV: Bob Dylan on the Les Crane show)
4. Bob Dylan - Tombstone Blues
5. The Sonics - Night Time Is The Right Time
(Commercial: Cousin Bruce Morrow and Petula Clark "Things Go Better With Coke")
6. Petula Clark - I Know A Place
7. Tom Jones - It Takes A Worried Man
(News: Martin Luther King Jr. speaks at Selma)
8. Otis Redding - Change Gonna Come
9. The Moody Blues - Can't Nobody Love You
(Commercial: the movie Help!)
10. The Beatles - Yes It Is
https://soundcloud.com/capnjack-1/01-10-10-1965
In response to Renee's "short songs" comment, I specifically looked for songs from that year that
lasted at least four minutes - hence the four "blues" numbers that open the set. I admittedly went
overboard by track #9, but what the hell. ;)
As always, feel free to comment.
ETA: Taken '65 down in favor of '69.

As one example, consider my notes for the
Friday Night Champagne Remix of "Time Has Come Today" from 11-Jun-04:
4. Chambers Brothers - Time Has Come Today
(Friday Night Champagne Remix: over-dubbed with: LBJ will not seek the
nomination; Robert F. Kennedy campaign speech; Senator Kennedy shot and
killed; Edward Kennedy RFK eulogy; Democratic National Convention and the
Chicago demonstrations; Humphrey convention speech; Spiro Agnew nominating
Richard Nixon; Nixon chooses Maryland Governor Agnew as running mate;
Humphrey campaign speech; Nixon wins presidential election)
Whew!
Easily one of the greatest single things ever heard in 10@10 history. To which I would add the various "mega-mixes" he did, usually for either "Hits From Hell" or "Turkeys" sets (Cher, Barry Manilow, Ray Stevens) or just because (the amazing Jesus Christ Superstar and Hair medleys and the "Desiderata"/"Deteriorata" mash-up).
I can cite three or four more examples of where Dave created news
montages and overdubbed them in the middle or at the end of songs, which
suggests he did this with some regularity. And many of his inter-song
clips were montages. Just recently I was listening to one of his
mystery sets, and as he did so often, there was a collection of incorrect
guesses in the middle. And then it struck me -- he fielded the phone
calls from listeners, recorded them, edited them into a montage, and
played it less than halfway through the set, all while he was spinning
the songs. It gave me new appreciation for his skill. Can you imagine
the current host being able to do that?
I would guess that one reason we aren't getting any mystery sets these
days is that it would require playing a lot more obscure tracks, and as
we've seen, 10@10 has become in large part "all the hits, all the time."

Pretty cool.
BOS, Brother Louie, a version I've never heard. I can use more vibraphone in my life.
Could have done without the Nilsson, in this case. I was watching a doc on him the other day that mentioned his foray into the standards. I guess this is one of them. Not bad, per se, but it didn't do much for me either.

(Moving this over from yesterday's 1975 thread)
Think there will be a '60s set tomorrow? Today matches the longest gap between '60s sets in the DC/RR era - 17 (week)days.
Given that we've hit the '70s twice already this week, my money is against it.
I agree. I think '71 was our "sixties" set. Although I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised, I would
wager that it will either be early '90s, or... ack! No, I can't even say it!
I am thrilled to get 1964 on top of the '71 and '75 sets we have heard already this week. But the pessimist in me has to assume this is a bone being tossed to the older demographic to keep us engaged. If I'm right, the next few weeks will be predominantly 1983 and newer, and we won't hit the 60s again 'til sometime in late May.

8, 6, 7, 9, 7, 6, 17, 5, 10, 6, 12, 9, 6, and 17. I'm guessing we'll have another '60s set this month.

pretty rich selection. A lot is NTM so it was a nice eye-opening ride. Kudos on the Terry Kath-sung "Jenny," though I thought he was saying Jinny at first. I'm still hearing it as I type, but that's my BOS so far.
The Long Goodbye, I've seen that movie several times, but finally decided I don't like Elliot Gould in that. I often mutter to myself about "Coury brand cat food," though.

Listened to this and the '65 set back to back the other day, and while I liked them both a lot, I think this one is my favorite of the ones you've posted so far. (Not discounting the fact that early 70s sets tend to be my favorites most of the time anyway.) As is the case with your creations, I can only say I've heard 4 or 5 of the included songs (one of which was Jenny), but liked all of 'em (OK maybe the Chuck Berry tune was a throwaway). A big part of this set's appeal for me was the clips. The anti-drug PSAs are excellent, and the segue from the Richard Perry one into Nilsson was pretty subtle.
Gotta ask: what's the deal with all the Tom Jones songs? I'm digging them (and the difference between this one and the one in your '65 set is striking) but he's turned up in at least 3 of the sets you've posted so far. Lord knows I'm certainly not burned out on him--he's one who rarely turned up in any 10@10s.

Uh oh, Tom Jones is to me what the Foo Fighters were/are to AL! :o
Actually, I was attempting to include artists that were generally not heard on 10@10 (e.g. Tom Jones, Glen Campbell, The Monkees mid-68 forward), but I guess I was overzealous in making sure Tom Jones made some appearances (I have him in one more upcoming 1968 set which I just finished compiling today). I have most of his records, if anyone was wondering.
If you have any artists/songs you'd like to hear, I do take requests (unlike DC/RR). :D

1. Little Milton - Grits Ain't Groceries (All Around The World)
(Movie: True Grit)
2. Glen Campbell - Galveston
3. Jefferson Airplane - Wooden Ships
(TV: Mama Cass TV special)
4. Mama Cass - It's Getting Better
(TV: This Is Tom Jones)
5. Tom Jones - Love Me Tonight
6. The Isley Brothers - The Blacker The Berrie (aka Black Berries)
(Commercial: Monkees Kool-Aid)
7. The Monkees - You And I
8. Bill Deal & The Rhondels - What Kind Of Fool Do You Think I Am
(Movie: Medium Cool)
9. The Temptations - Message From A Black Man
10. Mary Hopkin - Goodbye
https://soundcloud.com/capnjack-1/10-10-10-1969
FYI, originally all of the soundbites were variety show clips (Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour, The Monkees appearing on The Johnny Cash Show), but I changed it. As always, enjoy, and feel free to comment! Have a great weekend! :)
BTW, if you're looking for 1996, I'll reupload it on Sunday night/Monday morning.
That Little Milton is excellent!! Ditto for Glen Campbell!
Nice to hear the *other* version of Wooden Ships.
Was that Fred Willard in the This is Tom Jones clip?
Really nice R&B aspect to this set. Isleys, Little Milton & Bill Deal/Rhondels (who I doubt I've ever heard of before) all really nice. And props to TJ, too. He's got soul, too.
Loved hearing Goodbye for the first time in ages. I know I've heard this version before, but I think there's another that I'm more familiar with. Will have to remember to look later. Anyway, this gets my BOS.
Keep 'em coming!

Other!?
This is the real one as far as I'm concerned!

Not arguing the legitimacy of either one, but I've heard the CSN version far more than the JA's, which is why it was nice to hear *this* one.

Glad you liked the Little Milton and Glen Campbell. The CSN version of "Wooden Ships" has been played on 10@10, but not the JA version, so it was a given.
Was that Fred Willard in the This is Tom Jones clip?
No, it wasn't. I'm not sure who it actually is.
Really nice R&B aspect to this set. Isleys, Little Milton & Bill Deal/Rhondels (who I doubt I've ever heard of before) all really nice. And props to TJ, too. He's got soul, too.
The Bill Deal/Rhondels song is a cover of The Tams' 1963 single. An aside, Neil Young played guitar on The Monkees track, along with the Wrecking Crew.
Loved hearing Goodbye for the first time in ages. I know I've heard this version before, but I think there's another that I'm more familiar with. Will have to remember to look later. Anyway, this gets my BOS.
The "Goodbye" I used is from the 1969 Apple single / her Apple greatest hits album. I believe Mary rerecorded the song post-Apple (sometime in the mid-'70s), which might be what you remember.
Keep 'em coming!
In the pipeline: 1980, 1977, 1968, 1975, 1998, and a San Francisco-themed set.
Here's a question for anyone listening... Do you prefer knowing the tracklisting ahead of time, or would you prefer I hold back that info for a day or so until you get to listen? Let me know.

Was that Fred Willard in the This is Tom Jones clip?
No, it wasn't. I'm not sure who it actually is.
I listened to this set again and couldn't get over how much that voice sounded like Fred Willard, so I did a little poking around and found that, among the regular players on This Is Tom Jones in 1969, was the comedy troupe The Ace Trucking Company, who counted among its members Fred Willard and also Patti Deutsch, who later appeared on later season Laugh-In episodes, and has done loads of voice work in the ensuing years.
I was also impressed by the roster of guests who appeared on his show more than once--Glen Campbell, Jerry Lee Lewis, the Dave Clark Five, Moody Blues, the Hollies, Peter Noone, Sandie Shaw, Mary Hopkin (TANC), and Dusty Springfield, among others. A collection of clips from this show would be worth seeking out, at least as a Netflix rental to watch a time or two.

Normally I'd say I'd prefer to be surprised and not know what's coming next. But in the case of your sets, since so much of them are deep tracks I probably couldn't name without a list to consult, I think I like having a list to refer to. But if someone else would prefer not to have the spoilers, I'm OK with that too -- I can relate.

I went back to look at the video, and, you're right, it is Fred Willard!

I think I misidentified a different actor in the bit that I used.

Not to mention Janis Joplin, Wilson Pickett, Johnny Cash, Stevie Wonder, Bee Gees... It's a shame he couldn't have Elvis on his show -- now that would made for great TV!

Best. 1980. Set. EVAH. I actually saw the Jags at the Bottom Line when that song was the New Wave "flavor of the month" on WNEW-FM. And I still have the Blotto EP.

Wow, neat stuff! You're really showing what this could be instead of just complaining about it. You get my vote.
One problem with your editing is too much fade/dead space between the end of the song and the clips. It would be better to overlap them more.
BOS The Jags and Eddie Rabbitt. A record *NO* LNs.

She was a member of the Tubes' entourage in the mid-70s--say, '75 to '77 or so. Unfortunately I have no knowledge about this single.

And the Dylan -- OMG how I loved that one back in the day.
Damn, this is really stellar -- but am i crazy or is that someone other than Adam West playing Batman on that PSA (even tho' it's clearly Burt Ward as Robin)? Holy substitution!

I see three different links with different date IDs: 1975, 1966, and 1974. go figure.

Just noticed the recent 1990 rerun uses the "the one and only 10@10" sounder twice.
I can't remember if this appeared during the AL era, but it certainly wasn't used by DM.
Is there a more certain sign that something has fallen in steep decline and no longer
lives up to former greatness, than continually trumpeting how great it is?

The Corn Nuts spot actually did air, and apparently it caused quite a stir -- people in their cars pulled over to the side of the road in laughter after hearing the ad! :D

Very nice. Picks up after the Beach Boys (not my idea of a good time, impressive harmonies aside, and I'm no Deadhead). That's probably my favorite JA track, and the guitar back ONJ was very cool. The Chicago track was bizarre, with the Beach Boy inspired section. Nice finish with the Mr. Cash.
Enjoyed the heck out of it! Thanks.

I'll listen to this after lunch today. Meeting cancelled; listening now. The ONJ cover of the George tune was much-maligned at the time but I've always kinda liked it. Adore the Denise LaSalle, Isleys, and the JA (which AL played once -- one of my many requests of that era).
And oddly, despite my frequent Dead-bashing, "PITB" is Dead-when-I-still-liked-them.

I dig this because it recognizes that the Dead's strengths were mainly live. The "Skull and Roses" album, which is simply called "Grateful Dead" (many refer to it as the 'skullfuck' album) is a totally classic disc, but DJ's tend to ignore live albums.
And I love the JA song too! Mike and I agree once in a while!

Minor point r/ your 92 set: The KLF/Tammy Wynette tune (which I would so love to hear) is actually "Justified And Ancient".
-
10. Vanessa Williams - Save The Best For Last
Oh my but I love that one. A classy, beautiful piece of old-fashioned A/C songwriting -- co-written by Wendy Waldman, of all people! -- and Ms Williams sings the heck out of it. Deserving of its multiple Grammy noms (it lost to "Tears in Heaven", BTW). Stellar.

Hey, I love what you've been doing but can you give us a few days to catch up? I haven't heard either of the two that are up right now, nor the 89 set. Two or three a week is about my limit right now, unless we can find someplace where you can post more than two at a time.

No problem. I'll slow up down now that Renee is back -- last week I wanted to have something new each day in lieu of Renee "classics". I'll reupload any/all sets that anyone requests.
ETA: I took down the 1971 to add 1974 (for timely purposes). I'll reupload 1971 and 1989 sometime this week.

ETA: Took this down to upload 1994. Let me know if you need me to reupload.

Okay, this 1974 set is fresh off the editing block:
listening now. This Chicago track is a lost gem. And of course the Lamont Dozier is a longtime fave of mine. "Tricky Dick! Stop yo' S**T!"
Damn, never knew that Macca/Peggy Lee story -- lovely tune.
The Richie Havens was NTM -- oddly, since WNEW-FM were huge supporters of his (Pete Fornatale would *always* play a new Richie LP) but I don't recall hearing that one.
and some genius segues, man.

I'm trying to shine a light on some of those Terry Kath-led Chicago tracks.
The Peggy Lee song was the title track of her Atlantic Records debut (after leaving Capitol for the 2nd time). Unfortunately, neither the single nor the album charted (actually, the album bubbled under at #209 on the Billboard albums chart).
The Richie Havens track was taken from his Mixed Bag II, which he had offered on his website prior to his passing.
Glad you liked those segues -- had loads of fun editing them together!

I think the only song in the 92 set that I'd heard before was the Lyle Lovett.

OMFG: half my '88 "wish list" is here. I requested the Lita Ford and Joan Jett tunes from AL and suggested it would make a great "former Runaways twin-spin" but she only played JJ.
"Perfect" -- a UK #1 -- is one of my favorite '80s shouldabeens (later a country hit for Baillie & the Boys, amazingly). The Zevon LP was great. And the Bangles were idiots for turning down "Balloon Man".
ETA: this was truly spectacular, and proof that those boring late-'80s years do not have to be.

Have you listened to either the 92 or 74 sets yet? If so, I'll reupload 89 and/or 71 (and maybe a new one). Let me know.
Yes, listened to both of them yesterday--I will try to remember to give the high sign once I've done so next time.
I think the only song in the 92 set that I'd heard before was the Lyle Lovett.
I'll repost 89 this afternoon/evening, and 71 sometime tomorrow.

Listened to both of these this afternoon. Really liked the '77 set; goes to show that there are some good songs in that year--we just don't often hear any on the current iteration of 10@10. (Really, only AL was able to consistently come up with interesting sets from 77-78. Dave for some reason like to hit the dross in those years almost as much as RR/DC do.)

My 1978 set:
loving this one. that segue from WKRP to "Lotta Love" was Morey-worthy.

Really nice set--far better than most 88 sets we've heard "officially." Particular props for the Zevon tune, the Runaways twin-spin, and the great audio clips. Shirley MacLaine taking the piss out of Letterman was great, and I liked hearing Roy Orbison's comments on the Wilburys.

I've been taking particular attention/care in the late '70s sets (and late '80s), as I've noticed the lack of enthusiasm for them -- especially from dischead. There is good music from these years -- you just have to make an effort to find them. :)

As for 94, you finally put together a set in which there was not a single song I remember having heard before. (OK, I probably had heard the Nirvana song the one time I listened to In Utero all the way through, and maybe the Lyle Lovett 'cause I think I do own that record.)

I'd heard *of* it but had never heard it until now. Huey's always struck me as a ripoff of Macca (circa "Coming Up"). This is a little less bombastic.
But all hail "Eugene", a big hit on early alt-radio, and which actually features Ace Frehley. "Ahm a cool dood in a loose mood." Oh, and Fridays was quite underrated in its day, sez me. And the Michael Stanley Band tune -- their big sorta-"hit" after years as East Coast cult faves -- sounds very much like it shoulda been covered by Rick Springfield.

Big kerfuffle going on on the GS board because Renee didn't do a Mothers' Day set today, and another "grand tradition" has been put by the wayside.
Guess what folks? Dave Morey didn't do a Mothers' Day set between 2000 and his retirement in 2008. So if some big tradition has been sullied, it started way way back in 2010, which was Annalisa's first Mothers' Day in the driver's seat.

Yeah, that's all true. I always wondered why Dave didn't do Mom or Dad sets, and was pleased when AL did. And her Father's Day sets -- especially that one with the requests and dedications -- were great. We'll never see stuff like that on 10@10 again. I'm wondering what the Pride Set -- if we even get one -- will sound like.
-
I've been taking particular attention/care in the late '70s sets (and late '80s), as I've noticed the lack of enthusiasm for them -- especially from dischead. There is good music from these years -- you just have to make an effort to find them. :)
I've always said there was good music in every year. Indeed, somewhat paradoxically, some of
my favorite works have been released in the worst years. I can cherry-pick ten good songs
that I really like from any year. However things are different when someone else does the picking.
My access to your sets is currently somewhat circumscribed, which is unfortunate as they sound
interesting. I assume you are saving your work. In the future I think the line of improved access
for me will intersect with your finding a service that can host more or all of your files.

Also note here that last year's Christmas set didn't have the "Foghead greetings" either. I very
much like those, even though they are for strangers. The holiday spirit really shines through.
In so many ways it seems like we are now getting "10@10 Lite."

I agree. Although I'm not thrilled with Renee in general, it seems like she gets smack for every little thing that she does that's different from AL. I'm not a fan of most theme 10@10's and thought that doubling up on Acoustic Sunrise+10@10 for Mother's Day, Earth Day, etc was overkill. Every specialty program doesn't need to focus on every holiday.

All of which goes to show – you irritate your audience in the beginning, don’t really make up for it, and they’re going to tear you apart for every digression, real or perceived.
But yeah, on the list of “things wrong with this era’s 10@10”, the lack of a Mothers Day set shouldn’t rate a mention... don’t get me wrong, I love my Mom and all, but IMHO it’s the worst of the Hallmark holidays.
-
I agree. Although I'm not thrilled with Renee in general, it seems like she gets smack for every little thing that she does that's different from AL.
What bugs me about Renee is not that she does things differently from AL, but that she clearly
doesn't put much effort into the creation of 10@10. Everyone was worried about what AL would
do after DM, but it soon became clear that she was putting serious work into creating a superior
show five days a week. This was later confirmed in an e-mail exchange I had with her. Admittedly,
a large part of the current suckitude can be traced to the "new direction" changes made the
other July. But there are lots of other indications that 10@10 sets these days -- both the songs
and the clips -- are being assembled largely by rote. Creativity, thought, and a solid knowledge
of the music of the year are all lacking, and it shows.

around your own sets? (And if so, couldn't you find some DM or AL intros instead?)
I didn't have time to listen to the whole thing, unfortunately. I was trying to fix a printing problem
they were having. (And I have failed so far. Very strange problem, and very frustrating.)

I'm using RR's introductions and backsells around my sets. I would use DM and/or AL intros if I
had any to use. The only DM ones I currently have access to are his infamous "Hits From Hell" sets --
which I may post as a reminder of how things once were.
If you're offering me access to your DM/AL recordings, I'd be happy to start/end my sets with their
voices. ;)

cannot wait to listen. This week's "classic" AT40 show is from May '73, and as I've mentioned often, it's a sledgehammery time for me. I'm thrilled to have inspired some of those song choices.
-
1. Beck, Bogert & Appice - Superstition
Now *that* was a top of the hour COOKER!
-
one of my fave 2 or 3 "shouldabeens" from '73 and it was charting right around this time of year: Albert Hammond, "The Free Electric Band".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvKlUfVb90Y
Seriously, how was this song NOT a hit?
-
9. Kevin Johnson - Rock 'N Roll (I Gave You the Best Years of My Life)
This would be a great closer to my fantasy "Wanna Be a Rocker" theme set -- eddie money (wanna be a rocker), bowie (star), BTO (rock is my life, this is my song), etc. etc. -- which would be a good one for the R&R Hall of Fame induction day. Very cool.

I loved this song back in '73 -- this version (the original) was a big "turntable hit" on NYC prog-FM at the time. It wasn't until a couple years later that Mac Davis covered it and it became a big hit.
-

Very nice, Capn'. Can't wait for the next '73. Thanks.

"In order for me to get down, I got to get in D"
That was fabulous, truly. Hadn't heard that Kinky Friedman song in decades. The Carpenters literally brought tears to my eyes. I heard the Doug Sahm version of "San Antone" before I ever heard Charley Pride's... and that summer I worked in a department store and a Muzak version of the tune came on and I nearly fainted.

I discovered Kinky Friedman back in the late '80s thanks to an interview he did with Alex Bennett on KITS (I think he was plugging a book he wrote at the time). I first heard the song as covered by Lyle Lovett on a Kinky Friedman tribute CD which was released back in '99.
Glad the set reminded you of '73!

8. New York Dolls - Looking For A Kiss
So, everything about this band seems like a joke to me. Is it obvious, or is the joke on me and they're really serious?

Out of curiosity, which year did you choose to listen?
I have about 160 recordings, covering most years. All on cassette, of course! But unless you're
nearby I don't think the logistics would work out. I thought somebody else had some DM
recordings online, but I don't know who or where.
Without looking at any set lists, I grabbed 1967. But I didn't even finish the first song. (I was
busy.) But it seemed so unlike anything RR would play, so I skipped to the (nonexistent) backsell.
Suggestion: Create a text file with all your annotated set lists (songs & clips) and put it up
with the MP3s to serve as an index.
-
8. New York Dolls - Looking For A Kiss
So, everything about this band seems like a joke to me. Is it obvious, or is the joke on me and they're really serious?
No less serious than Kiss, methinks. Certainly one of the more flamboyant of the glam rock groups,
but no less valid than many other sub-genres of rock when taken to an extreme. Glam rock seems
to be a phase that a lot of rockers went through in the early '70s, particularly in Britain. Bowie,
Eno, Elton John, Alice Cooper, even Lou Reed.

agreed. And I always felt that in the case of the Dolls, these were guys who just wanted to rock and saw glam/crossdressing as a gimmick to get a foot in a record company door. Oh, and they thought chicks dug guys who wore eyeliner.

It could be just because this set is right in the center of when my musical tastes were starting to develop, but this may be my favorite of all your efforts so far. This one has just about everything--good clips, a great mix of songs from a number of genres; some I remember and ones I don't but scream out '73 nonetheless. Particular props for the Doug Sahm, Dolls, and JB's tunes, but everything was great. Dave would approve.
By the way, where did you find that version of Doing it to Death? I have a 6-minute edit of that on a JB comp that I've had for years, but they stretch out way more on this one. Never got to see the JBs, but I am so happy to have seen James a couple of times while he was still active and touring.
8. New York Dolls - Looking For A Kiss
So, everything about this band seems like a joke to me. Is it obvious, or is the joke on me and they're really serious?
I think there's a bit of tongue in cheek to their act, but you could say that about most of David Johansen's career (Buster Poindexter being the most over-the-top of the lot). But I think they were serious too. And the Ramones obviously copped a good bit of their schtick from the Dolls, just updating it from glam to their own thing, which became punk.

You may be right, I went and looked at the 1985 sets (boy are there a lot of them!), and I don't see it. Now I'm trying to think of the context that I did hear it.

Now this is another I'll have to find the time to listen to. Live 105 played "Deadweight" to death, then the song seemingly disappeared forever. "Electric Barbarella" was DD's last top 40 hit (although they continue to pop up here and there at HAC).... and the others seem intriguing. What - you didn't have room for "Semi-Charmed Life"? :P

Certainly could. As I just commented over on the KFOG thread, two PDs removed from Tony Salvatore and Dave Morey, I don't think 10@10 has quite the same "sacred cow" status that it did even a year ago. And I doubt we could count on Renee to fight for it.

My (first) 1970 set:
This was, of course, spectacular. I just discovered Blossom Dearie in the last year or 2 thanks to the Radio Deluxe podcast; I adore her. And TANC, "Ballet For a Girl..." has turned up recently in the writing I've been doing about the early '70s.
-
My third 1973 set:
6. George Harrison - Don't Let Me Wait Too Long
A criminally forgotten George track from that LP -- it got nearly as much airplay at the time as "Give Me Love" and "Material World" and really shoulda been a single IMHO. I played it often on my college radio show, usually back to back with Carly Simon's "Waited So Long". Thematic segues rule!
-
9. Fleetwood Mac - The Way I Feel
Thanks for this. Even though I have all these, at least on vinyl, I even forget about tracks like this. Sweet.

What is this writing you've mentioned, and will you eventually share it with us?

That Johnny Cash tune sounds like a rewrite of Dylan's Don't Think Twice, It's Alright. Of course knowing Dylan's penchant for "borrowing," it could just as easily be the other way around.

4. Johnny Cash - Understand Your Man
That Johnny Cash tune sounds like a rewrite of Dylan's Don't Think Twice, It's Alright. Of course knowing Dylan's penchant for "borrowing," it could just as easily be the other way around.
Indeed. From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Understand_Your_Man):
Cash borrowed parts of the melody from Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right".

Gotta love a set that starts with Iggy and the Stooges and gradually devolves into Lawrence Welk. BOS: The Meters, but I was intrigued by the Lee Dorsey take on Sneakin' Sally Thru the Alley. That's a new one on me. I still think Robert Palmer's take on it (with the Meters backing him) was better, but this early view of it is pretty cool.

OK, have just gotten thru the last of the current soundcloud sets, this being the last of the bunch. I think this was my fave--thanks for including My Wife! Also enjoyed the PMFM clips--I need to go back and revisit that one. That Ricky Fataar clip came from nowhere though--how'd you find that? (Btw, I think he was the Beach Boy's drummer/percussionist.)
Which reminds me: I saw Neil Innes a few years back at Cobb's on Columbus, and Ricky Fataar showed up and joined him for a few songs. And Peter Finch was in the audience, to bring this back full circle.
-

The Ricky Fataar clip was part of a group of Beach Boys PSAs about registering to vote -- this one was left off the previous 1971 set, and I wanted to use it, but I didn't have anything that would make a nice segue, so I shoehorned it there.
RGMike -- did you ever listen to this one? I threw in Don McLean's "Empty Chairs" after you made this comment:

One more set for the week... my George Jackson tribute:
who'd'a thunk that Travis Wammack would be the commonality between George Jackson and Alan O'day?!?
The George Jackson credit that floored me was "The Only Way is Up" -- I knew the '80s dance version but had no idea it was written in the early '70s.
I'm behiind in listening to these, but I'll catch that '71 set today -- there are so many wonderful forgotten McLean songs on American Pie, and "Empty Chairs" is one; ditto "Winterwood".

6. Michael Nesmith & The First National Band - Propinquity (I've Just Begun To Care)
Damn, what a great song that is.

Oh, an I had NO idea the Grootna tune was later sampled by House of Pain (!)

My 2nd 1975 set:
that "Judy mae" disclaimer was beyond hilarious. (the song itself remains quite dreadful).
FYI, that's not the original "Wildfire", but a re-recording. I know that record like the back of my hand.
That Jackie Wilson/Chi-Lites thing was NTM and it's awesome. Wish it was on the Chi-Lites best-of I have at home.

Oops -- you're right. I had planned to use the album version from Blue Sky - Night Thunder, but I accidentally used a re-recording from a compilation. DOH!
The Wildfire/Judy Mae thing was a nod to the Murphey and Castleman being in the Lewis & Clarke Expedition in the 60s. (They also wrote The Monkees' "What Am I Doing Hangin' 'Round?")
That Jackie Wilson/Chi-Lites collaboration was Wilson's final charting single prior to his heart attack.
ETA: Okay, I fixed my mistake -- I replaced the re-recording with the original album track. Thanks for catching my error, RGMike!

These have been readied for awhile, so I just archived them directly to MediaFire.
who'd'a thunk that Travis Wammack would be the commonality between George Jackson and Alan O'day?!?
The George Jackson credit that floored me was "The Only Way is Up" -- I knew the '80s dance version but had no idea it was written in the early '70s.
Another connection is Dobie Gray -- unfortunately, I don't have the complete "Funky Funky Feelin'" yet.
The Yazz version of "The Only Way Is Up" is in the set -- Otis Clay did the earlier version, I believe.
Okay, RGMike, I've added SoundCloud links. Enjoy!

We fight the version battles all the time with our web application. It's frustrating when a new version of IE breaks functionality that worked with earlier versions. We have numerous clients and a fairly complicated app, so making everyone happy isn't easy.

5. Vogues - American Family (1972)
Oh. My. Fuckin. GOD! I have been looking for this song for 40 YEARS!!
This is not the version I remember -- that was by a solo singer whose name I've long forgotten, and that version got some NYC airplay in early '73. I remember assuming it was meant to cash in on the American Family PBS documentary series starring the Louds. Never knew the Vogues recorded it too.
Cap'n you really made my day/week/month with that one. Wowsers.
ETA: per this profile from Songwriter magazine... "American Family" was recorded by... Larry Carlton. The guitarist? He sings too? Answer: yes... here it is and this is def the version I heard on WPIX 40 years ago:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52pjN2HCLj8
9. Anne Murray - Blue Finger Lou (1975)
this was NTM -- sounds like he wrote it for Helen Reddy.
ETA2: now I'm on to the Jackson 2 set -- hearing the Osmonds tune in the midst of all that gritty soul is (a) kind of hilarious and (b) making me wish Ann Peebles or BB King or somebody had covered it.

I'm glad I helped you locate the song! The version you remember is from Larry Carlton's Singing/Playing album, which also includes another Alan O'Day composition "Easy Evil" (apparently, that was O'Day's most popular, based on the number of covers).
ETA2: now I'm on to the Jackson 2 set -- hearing the Osmonds tune in the midst of all that gritty soul is (a) kind of hilarious and (b) making me wish Ann Peebles or BB King or somebody had covered it.
Actually, the song was first recorded by Spencer Wiggins in 1970:

Lots of nuggets in this one--the Rutles, of course, and I also liked the Adam Schlesinger twin-spin. Fountains of Wayne is a longtime fave, and one of the few bands that came up in the 90s that I still follow -- their last record is one of their best. Also, the Patti Smith reminded me I need to revisit her 90s revival -- she did some good records after Fred died.
Btw, I've also listened to George Jackson #2, but not the Alan O'Day #2.

Lots here I hadn't heard before.
Fever Tree: Sounds like the Beatles channeled thru Iron Butterfly.
The Skidoo promo was kinda crazy, if not exactly tuneful.
Geoff was right about the Johnny Cash song--Streets of Laredo redux.
Was the Beach Boys song the one cowritten with Charles Manson? Not exactly Top 40 material.
And that must be the original version of Suspicious Minds--Elvis didn't really change the arrangement much at all, did he?

Funny you chose Kingdom Hall to lead off the set. I'd just heard it the day before this on KUSF In Exile.
When Guns On The Roof started, I thought it was the Kinks' "The Hard Way" from Schoolboys in Disgrace. I went and checked, and sure enough, the Clash nicked the rhythm and three of four opening chords for GOTR.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMRtRAzVMpo
(And was it coincidence that the song that followed GOTR was a Kinks cover?)
I didn't realize Heart had gone MOR so early in their career. I didn't think that happened until some time in the early 80s.
Like Mike, I'm curious how many versions of 'Minnie' Cab Calloway recorded over his career. I'm sure he must have done more than that, but that's the one song he's most widely known for.
Loved the WKRP clips. I watched the "Hoodlum Rock" ep last night after I heard this -- as funny as I remember it. Michael Des Barres missed his calling.

The Boz Scaggs was completely new to me. But his catalog is ripe for mining all sorts of nuggets in the 70s -- Runnin' Blue, and perhaps Dinah Flo, to name just two. Yes, that was a hint. :)
I've always loved that Ray Price tune. It was a couple of years at least before I realized it was a country song that crossed over.
A number of songs here that I know in other versions, specifically the Al Green and Long John Baldry. Did Baldry's It Ain't Easy predate the Bowie/Ziggy version? And is that Faces backing him? It sure sounds as if it were.
In the Carpenters tune, is that oboe or english horn? Either way, a rarity among pop songs.
Love the segue from the D.B. Cooper clip to "It's Impossible." (Another great 71 crossover hit., btw.)
Gotta pause it for now; I'll finish my commentary later. Looking forward to the rest of the set!

Last set for the week, 1968:
1. Country Joe & The Fish - Rock And Soul Music
(TV: The Dick Cavett Show - Groucho Marx)
2. Jefferson Airplane - Triad
3. Fever Tree - Day Tripper / We Can Work It Out
(Radio: Guard Scene - Davy Jones and Peter Tork)
4. The Monkees - Auntie's Municipal Court
(News: Martin Luther King Jr.'s final speech)
5. Aretha Franklin - People Get Ready
(Movie: Skidoo)
6. Engelbert Humperdinck - Quando, Quando, Quando
7. Otis Redding - Champagne And Wine

9. The Beach Boys - Never Learn Not To Love
10. Mark James - Suspicious Minds
https://soundcloud.com/capnjack-1/67-10-10-1968
This set was inspired by Renee's recent visit to '68. Enjoy!
Lots here I hadn't heard before.
Fever Tree: Sounds like the Beatles channeled thru Iron Butterfly.
"San Francisco Girls (Return of the Native)" was the only song by Fever Tree to be played on 10@10, so I dug a little deeper into their album for that one. "Eleanor Rigby" should have also been credited in that track.
The Skidoo promo was kinda crazy, if not exactly tuneful.
There's actually a soundtrack, composed by Harry Nilsson, which the promo samples a bit from.
Geoff was right about the Johnny Cash song--Streets of Laredo redux.
Indeed -- this just has a spoken intro.
Was the Beach Boys song the one cowritten with Charles Manson? Not exactly Top 40 material.
Yes, that's the infamous Manson track Dennis Wilson "stole" -- where's Brian Wilson when you need him?
And that must be the original version of Suspicious Minds--Elvis didn't really change the arrangement much at all, did he?
Chips Moman produced the Mark James recording, and he just brought the same arrangement to Elvis when he recorded in Memphis.

My 2nd 1978 set:
1. Van Morrison - Kingdom Hall
(TV: WKRP In Cincinnati)
2. The Clash - Guns On The Roof

7. Cab Calloway - Minnie The Moocher
8. Leila and the Snakes - Rock & Roll Weirdos
(TV: WKRP In Cincinnati)
9. Detective - Got Enough Love
10. Lou Reed - Street Hassle
https://soundcloud.com/capnjack-1/66-10-10-1978
This set was inspired by Renee's recent '78 set. Enjoy!
Funny you chose Kingdom Hall to lead off the set. I'd just heard it the day before this on KUSF In Exile.
You mentioned this track in the last '78 set (Renee opted for "Wavelength"), so I took the request.
When Guns On The Roof started, I thought it was the Kinks' "The Hard Way" from Schoolboys in Disgrace. I went and checked, and sure enough, the Clash nicked the rhythm and three of four opening chords for GOTR.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMRtRAzVMpo
(And was it coincidence that the song that followed GOTR was a Kinks cover?)
Someone noticed! ;)
I didn't realize Heart had gone MOR so early in their career. I didn't think that happened until some time in the early 80s.
Actually, Dog & Butterfly featured rockers on one side and ballads on the other. RGMike thought the title track was LN, so I dug a little deeper in the album for this ballad.
Like Mike, I'm curious how many versions of 'Minnie' Cab Calloway recorded over his career. I'm sure he must have done more than that, but that's the one song he's most widely known for.
Who knows -- hundreds, maybe? There maybe several dozen that are probably lost -- I think it was first recorded in 1931!
Loved the WKRP clips. I watched the "Hoodlum Rock" ep last night after I heard this -- as funny as I remember it. Michael Des Barres missed his calling.
Scum of the Earth, indeed! :)

The Boz Scaggs was completely new to me. But his catalog is ripe for mining all sorts of nuggets in the 70s -- Runnin' Blue, and perhaps Dinah Flo, to name just two. Yes, that was a hint. :)
Duly noted!
I've always loved that Ray Price tune. It was a couple of years at least before I realized it was a country song that crossed over.
I've always had a soft spot for this and "It's Impossible" -- in fact, I had originally segued the two in my first draft of this set...
A number of songs here that I know in other versions, specifically the Al Green and Long John Baldry. Did Baldry's It Ain't Easy predate the Bowie/Ziggy version? And is that Faces backing him? It sure sounds as if it were.
Baldry's predates Bowie's version, and yes, the Faces are backing him on that track (Rod Stewart produced that side of the record, the other side produced by Elton John). "Take It Easy" was recorded by a bunch of artists, including Three Dog Night and Dave Edmunds.
In the Carpenters tune, is that oboe or english horn? Either way, a rarity among pop songs.
According to Wikipedia, oboe...
Love the segue from the D.B. Cooper clip to "It's Impossible." (Another great 71 crossover hit., btw.)
I had fun with that -- I was inspired by a NewsRadio episode, of all things...
Gotta pause it for now; I'll finish my commentary later. Looking forward to the rest of the set!
Wow, you went through 2-1/2 sets today! You get a gold star! :D
-
1. Boz Scaggs - Hollywood Blues
Extra credit points!
-
I've always had a soft spot for this and "It's Impossible" -- in fact, I had originally segued the two in my first draft of this set...
As I've probably mentioned before, I grew up in a showtune/MOR household with a single mom who loved Robert Goulet, Sinatra, and Mr Como. So 1971, with Perry and also Andy Williams making big chart comebacks, was a big year for my mom. Sadly, she wasn't around for "And I Love You So" in '73.
I didn't discover Top 40 radio until the fall of '67, when I was 12.

My usual Tuesday listening destination ended early, and it was a slow-ish day at work (finally!). So I had a little more time to write down some comments.

My 2nd 1978 set:
3. Robert Palmer - You Really Got Me
Sneakin' Sally thru the Kinks' alley.
and I knew I'd heard "Sandra" before but it took Wiki to remind me it's a Barry Manilow tune -- he did it on his 2nd LP. Lovely lyric, and Dusty of course nails it.
-
2nd visit to 1979:
1. Graham Parker - Discovering Japan
2. Carlene Carter - Swap-Meat Rag

(And was it coincidence that the song that followed GOTR was a Kinks cover?)
Someone noticed! ;)
I just found another bit that the Clash nicked from the Kinks. In I'm Not Down from London Calling, at about 0:16 in, they replicate the descending melodic progression from the beginning of Waterloo Sunset, only speeded up a bit.
If you're gonna steal, steal from the best!

Originally, I had planned to upload either a 1970 or 1980 set, but since there hasn't been a '90s set from Renee this week (so far)...

(News: Robert Reed death)
FYI, this clip was in the left channel only. But a fine set, and I'm not usually a '90s kinda guy. Of course, most of these songs would never make it into a KFOG '92 set.

Yeah, that Robert Reed clip was only on one channel from YouTube - I should have folded the audio down to mono for that.
For this set, I made sure to include a bit more pop/dance/r&b to the mix. FYI, I originally had "Rump Shaker" and Dylan doing "Froggy Went A-Courtin'" in an early draft! ;D

While I have the chance... urth, have you finished listened to what I have up on the RetroCapnJack SoundCloud page?

The '82 set yes. Need to finish off the '71 set still, but my usual Monday listening destination is taking the day off, so I'll knock that out and maybe one of the others at least. Thx for checking!
ETA: Just finished the '71 set. So much to comment on in this one -- the Bad Finger, the Ray Price/Perry Como/Babs crossover troika as well as the Carpenters and Bread -- in a lot of ways it was a very MOR set, but in a good way. I'd never heard Al Green's version of Are You Lonely For Me Baby or the Long John Baldry take on It Ain't Easy either -- loved both. And the Ringo clip from 200 Motels was nicely placed too. This was def. one of your best, imo.

Not much love for this one. Just wasn't at all what I was listening to in '92, save for maybe the Lou Reed. The Morrissey song could have just as easily been the Smithereens. (I did get a laugh out of the Dennis Leary bit however.)
-
(David Wigg interviews George Harrison)
10. The Beatles - It's All Too Much
George sounds like quite the Tea Party candidate in that clip. He's a job creator! ROTFL!

3rd visit to 1970:
1. Paul McCartney - Momma Miss America
I surely had not heard this since 1970.
the Campbell version of "Both Sides Now": nice. Inspired by the Collins version in the season finale of Mad Men? "and if you care, don't let them know/don't give yourself away" is surely Don Draper's mantra.
OMFG: this Doris Troy thing is great! NTM and a total gem.

Yes and no -- I had several covers of this lying around (my recent '69 set used Neil Diamond's rendition), but hearing it during the end credits of Mad Men didn't hurt the chances of Glen Campbell's cover making it to this set.
OMFG: this Doris Troy thing is great! NTM and a total gem.
FYI, this song is credited to Doris, George, Ringo and Stephen Stills!

Funny I'dnever heard it -- Ronnie Spector's "Try Some, Buy Some", also a Harry Georgesong, got quite a bit of prog-FM exposure in NY in 1970.

Listened to both the '69 and '70 sets today. Loved the Beatlesian bent to them. Commentary later.

Had to dig to find the origin of that EC tune. I only have it on Taking Liberties, which I haven't played in ages.

10. Holly & The Italians - Tell That Girl To Shut Up
https://soundcloud.com/capnjack-1/48-10-10-1980
Enjoy!
I started this one playing before I opened the setlist to see who was playing what, and thought the first song could have been the Dixie Dregs. Until the horns came in.
Some great power pop in here: Shoes, Holly & the Italians (BOS!), and the Utopia tune is kind of a curiosity, from their "let's see how much we can sound like the Beatles album, Deface the Music.
Two consecutive sets with "Love is All Around." Gotta say, I think I prefer the original, MTM version with the horns to this slightly mellower, countrified version.
Oh, and Robert Palmer covering early Beatles? Man, where has that been all my life? I am certain I never heard it before today. Nicely done.

can't wait to hear this one. That Palmer track is one of my fave Beatle covers; glad ya finally got to hear it, urth!
Minor quibble: the Shoes "Too Late" is totally 1979 to me, being part of the "12-string Trifecta" with the Records' "Starry Eyes" and Bram Tchaikovsky's "Girl o' My Dreams"
-

the Utopia tune is kind of a curiosity, from their "let's see how much we can sound like the Beatles album, Deface the Music.
That's a fun, underrated LP, IMHO. In the mid-'90s when I was heavily into making mixtapes, I did a series of Beatle-related ones, several of covers (including the aforementioned Robert Palmer; I remember buying that LP on vinyl at Streetlight Records just for that song) and one that included Beatle soundalikes (Rutles, Badfinger, Raspberries and something from that Utopia album).
Holly and The Italians -- fabulous. She did a duet of "I Got You Babe" with Joey Ramone that i must dig up.

I never knew '99 could be this enjoyable: the F of W and Joey/Ronnie songs were NTM and just swell.
I used the PSBs tune in a recent SF/NY mix I made.
ok, that PSB song would've fit in any Pride Set. HAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaay! Have they ever done a less gay song? ;)
i was familiar with 4, 6 and 10. Everything else was NTM. So I guess people really were out dancing in clubs in 99... huh?
nice job as usual Capnjack. That Tom Jones clip was a trip. I loved the Dusty Springfield item, too.. Neil Tennant sounded like he was speaking well-crafted lyrics. His elocution is JUST SO.
... but I BQTM (Barfed Quietly To Myself) when I heard Julia Roberts' voice, although I think I remember liking Notting Hill -- mostly likely b/c of Hugh Grant. Can't stand JR, and the segue into Elvis Costello, (often a guilty displeasure for me) exacerbated my nausea. l)

Inspired by Renee's superb '74 set, here is my 2nd 1974 set:
1. Tom Jones - Right Place, Wrong Time
2. Bobby Blue Bland - This Time I'm Gone For Good
3. The James Cotton Band - Boogie Thing
(News: Philippe Petit tightrope walk across World Trade Center)
4. Little Beaver - Party Down
5. Lou Bond - That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be
(TV: Good Times)
6. Jon Lucien - The Ghetto Song
(TV: Sanford And Son)
7. Leroy Hutson - The Ghetto '74
8. Major Lance - Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um
(John Lennon on paying taxes) (RGMike, compare John's remarks to George's from 1969)
9. John Lennon - Old Dirt Road
10. Willie Hutch - (I Wanted To Be A Rock & Roll Star) Woman I Still Got Lovin'
https://soundcloud.com/retrocapnjack/50-10-10-1974
This set had a "soul patrol" feel to it. Enjoy!
-
4. Little Beaver - Party Down
5. Lou Bond - That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be
the Little Beaver is one of the great lost soul records of the '70s --a #1 R&B single that failed to make the Top 40. I had never heard it until I moved here and started listening to the late great KDIA, and I thought it was a deep Rick James track from the '80s at first. Mr Beaver (as the NY Times would say) was a session guy who played the seminal riff on Betty Wright's "Clean-Up Woman".
But OMFG: this soul cover of Carly's "TTWIAHISB" is some kinda revelation. "let's settle down and have about 13 kids -- I don't care what we name 'em..."
ETA: loved the Lennon clip. " i don't object to paying taxes -- it gives people false teeth."
-
Here is the other 1980 set I made (this one after hearing Renee's recent '80 set):

https://soundcloud.com/retrocapnjack/76-10-10-1980
As with the '74 set, it has a "soul patrol" feel to it (half of it anyway). Enjoy!
these ads warning people about food poisoning from improperly stored leftovers is kinda getting on my nerves.
urth, I think you'll especially enjoy the first WKRP clip... ;)

it already blows Renee away on paper (pixels), I'm sure listening will not change that. I learned about the Smiths in this year, from their album Strangeways Here We Come, so I'll BOS Smiths and give you a Haaaay for the Lisa Lisa.

Was hoping to make my comparison this afternoon, but when I hit that link I briefly get a message saying soundcloud can't find that user, then it goes to a blank page with the souncloud banner across the top. I suspect it's weirdness on their back end, but just wondering if anyone else was experiencing similar issues. I work tomorrow too, so I'll try again then.
Btw, the other soundcloud page, retrocapnjack, is just fine.
ETA: Never mind. It is indeed issues on the Soundcloud side. I tried to check out one of the recent legit 10@10s on the station's site (which also uses Soundcloud as their server) and it was down, and the retrocapnjack page is all ferkakte now as well. So I guess I finished listening to 1980 just in the nick of time.

The Stills' version of "Loner" was NTM, as was the Buffett tune -- which is so lovely it's hard to believe it's him. A lost gem, that.

'87 and '74 yes, the other two I'll try to get to sometime today if I can. I'll give the "all clear" when I've heard either or both. I've been away from home for the last 5 days, so it kinda threw off my listening habits.

Love the vintage bumpers in this one!
#6: A great pop hit, but probably the most sexist, misogynistic song ever to hit #1.
#9. Whoa! I know well the Eddie Holman take on this song from the male POV, but I had no idea there was a distaff version that came before. Very cool!
Overall a really nice compilation of pre-British Invasion pop hits. Particular props for the Sam Cooke, Connie Francis, Patsy Cline, and Peggy Lee.

Had not heard "Suite for 20G" in a loooong time. Loved it when it was an FM staple that year. Still lovely.
and the Randy Newman triple-play: awesome. Didn't know Sweet Lou had covered "Cornfield".
And of course I adore Dusty's "Brand New Me" (and Ree-Ree's cover of it too). The Blossom Dearie song about Dusty is a gem.
and I think that Johnny Cash song just inspired a chapter in my novel.
-

It was the flipside of his cover of "You've Made Me So Very Happy".

The song was written by Kris Kristofferson.

That Sonny Curtis song is so pretty.. it's rare that you hear the full version. Now that I hear it, it's no wonder they excised that bit for the Mary Tyler Moore show theme:
You have the looks and charms
And girl you know that's all you need.
All the men around adore you
That sexy look will do wonders for you.

This set was inspired by Renee's recent effort. Enjoy!
This one had some things I really liked and a few that were just the opposite. LOVED that you led off with Bobby Jean, which has long been my pick for the best track on BITUSA--I've always wish Dave/AL/whoever would include it in more 10@10s on air. Liked the Style Council cut, and was surprised that while I remember liking Tina's take on I Can't Stand the Rain back when it was current, now it sounds really dated and I prefer Ann Peebles' original. Speaking of dated, that Alan Thicke song was hideous -- all that was bad about music in 84 packed into one song.
The JJ track was interesting although I can't recall it from back when, and the Mats song is a longtime fave too.
Great clips as ever. Dug the Hoffmans' Grill piece, for entirely self-serving reasons -- that's my last name, but I had no inkling about the grill that preceded me. Also liked hearing that Kate and Allie bit--haven't thought about that show in ages, although I remember liking it when it aired. Whatever happened to Susan Saint James anyway?

2. Smoking Popes - Need You Around
gawd I love that song. Wish Sinatra had lived long enuf to cover it -- seriously, can't you just hear that? This was a pretty decent year for music, tho' you'd never know it from most KFOG 10@10s we've heard. (AL fared slightly better than DM in '95s)
this set was just superb.

Every week I scrape the 10@10 set lists off the KFOG site and add them to a text file for the year.
The same attention to detail that brought us the two 1993 sets within days is also being shown
by whatever primate posts those lists. It's gotten noticeably bad in the past couple of weeks.
Set lists not posted until days later, song title first instead of artist name, ALL CAPS, speeling errars,
and all matter of other formatting irregularities. All this in addition to the continued lack of the
BOS designation. I expect to do a little cleanup to maintain a consistent format, but it's taken
a marked turn for the worse.
grumble, grumble...

Listened to both the '69 and '70 sets today. Loved the Beatlesian bent to them. Commentary later.
Listened to the '63 and '73 sets today, enjoyed both greatly. Will try to add more specific comments later.
Looking forward to your comments on the '69, '70 and '73 sets. I can repost them if you'd like -- I'll be out of town
for the week starting Tuesday, so there won't be any new sets (save for the '68 set I posted earlier today).

NTM and quite nice.

urth, have you listened to the '76 set yet? I want to upload one more set before I leave on vacation in the morning. Let me know!

Is there a way, and if so, how can one d/l (and save) a KFOG 10@10 set from Soundcloud?
http://soundcloud-download.com/
Thank you!
Is that part of their service, or someone else's site?

My last set before heading off to San Diego was not made by me but...
...a classic Dave Morey "Hits From Hell" set from Friday, November 13th, 1998, which I don't believe is in the Shraytabase.
I won't post the setlist, as I'll let the songs surprise you, and, after all, Dave does do the backsell with the artists/song titles.

This was a delightful palate-cleanser after 1997 today. I'd forgotten that "Music Box Dancer" (which I, of course, adore) made it into a HFH set. Only "Sad Eyes" (which I absolutely do NOT adore) made me skip ahead to the next song. uber-BOS the Manilow MegaMix. *swoon*!

I tried this and I'm not getting the desired result. It takes me to an Offliberty page with a button that says "right click here and 'save link as' ." I have done this, but all I get is a 345 byte MP3 file that doesn't play at all. Am I missing something here?

There was a bit of a tizzy here the other week, what with some personal changes and then
a short streak of stellar 10@10 sets (mostly from the late '60s). The question seemed to be
if things had really taken a sharp turn for the better.
Subsequent weeks have led me to conclude the answer is no.
There has been a slight improvement across the board. and we did get a small number of
big winners. The avoidance of anything in the 1990s for a while also helped. But now the
'90s sets have returned and they have been underwhelming. The usual lack of attention
to detail is evident not only in songs played in the wrong year, but the recent occurrences
of songs duplicated within days. I am quite disposed to believe that those excellent sets
were merely happy accidents, the result of fortuitous choices made from a strong year.

"No more fun & games of the mind!"
Wonderful, wonderful. Any one or two of these songs would totally rescue a Renee '88 set.
And I wish Sire/Warners/whoever would put together a collection of the Pretenders' covers, many of which were on B-sides & sndtks. this "Windows of the World" remake is great -- I have the 45 at home; it was from the sndtk of the awful movie 1969.
and gawd this Eric Carmen record is gorgeous.
But BOS Kylie, one of the great pop singles of the decade and one of my all-time shouldabeens.

Something like that, or maybe not...
I, for one, have potential topical set lists like "pop flute" that may never actually get
assembled/recorded. I also keep lists of songs that share certain characteristics of interest
to me, and these could used as source material for other topical 10@10s.

Hey, this was great. urth picked a good one in Boz Skaggs, whom I'll be seeing in Sept at the Fox. But I gotta say, those Irish hippie gypsies sure did like their long songs back then. Listen to the Lion clocks in at 11 minutes. That Van guy really is a mystic. And I liked your insert of Renée saying "Oooh, I lurve it," after the song (finally) ends.
Can we get Supper's Ready on your next channeling of 1972? that would complete side two of Foxtrot. :)

Originally, I had intended to include Supper's Ready, but the set would have run close to 75 minutes, so I dropped it in favor of Steve Hackett's solo Horizons, but I will include it in the next '72 set!

This set was inspired by Renee's recent 1970 set (the one that featured two instrumentals back to back:
Traffic "Glad" and Hot Tuna "Water Song"). Enjoy!
Hey, this was great. urth picked a good one in Boz Skaggs, whom I'll be seeing in Sept at the Fox. But I gotta say, those Irish hippie gypsies sure did like their long songs back then. Listen to the Lion clocks in at 11 minutes. That Van guy really is a mystic. And I liked your insert of Renée saying "Oooh, I lurve it," after the song (finally) ends.
Can we get Supper's Ready on your next channeling of 1972? that would complete side two of Foxtrot. :)
You could add Tull's "Thick as a Brick" (not the single edit), also from '72, and the set would never end.

Originally, I had intended to include Supper's Ready, but the set would have run close to 75 minutes, so I dropped it in favor of Steve Hackett's solo Horizons, but I will include it in the next '72 set!
cool beans. I saw Genesis only once, in 1982 -- WELL after their prog heyday -- but they did Supper's Ready on that tour. SCORE.
I remember that tour. I saw three consecutive nights at the Greek. I'd seen them a couple of times prior to that (all post-Gabriel however), but thanks to Supper's Ready, after those shows I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. They could have played nothing else but Abacab over and over for the entire night and I'd have still loved it. Ah, youth.

This was, of course, a delight -- even ONE of these would be the highlight of a Renee 1989 set. Damn, that Grayson Hugh song is a lost gem. And I didn't remember the Martika song at all -- was surprised to see it charted before "Toy Soldiers".

I remember it vividly -- mid-to-late 80s are in my wheelhouse in terms of musical knowledge (good or bad).
Liked Martika's debut single, then she had the huge HFH "Toy Soldiers", then she had the Carole King cover "I Feel The Earth Move".

This set was inspired by Renee's recent 1970 set (the one that featured two instrumentals back to back:

Finally had an afternoon at the computer so listened to this in short bursts. Thanks so much for the Dinah Flo--one of Boz's more underappreciated songs, imo. But I found a lot of other things to bite down on here, too--St. Dominic's Preview is probably my all-time fave Van record, so hearing Listen to the Lion was awesome (and I'll register a vote for Redwood Tree or Gypsy--or both--next time you get a chance to slip a Van song into a 72 set). Love Van's Marin County period, which I consider the most productive and profound of his career. Also dug Les Brers, a fave off of Eat a Peach that I haven't heard in a long time. And as I have revealed elsewhere, I'm a Genesis head from way back, so Horizons also provided a nice flashback. Liked the JA/HT twofer, and the JJ Cale, although I can't say I knew any of those songs before this.

3rd visit to 1987:
(TV: Fanclub - T'Pau interview)
4. T'Pau - Heart And Soul
that clip of them calling their music "tough pop" was pretty hilarious considering how lightweight they actually were. LOL!
and that Monkees movie never did happen. Ahem.

cool beans. I saw Genesis only once, in 1982 -- WELL after their prog heyday -- but they did Supper's Ready on that tour. SCORE.
I saw them do Supper's Ready in the mid-70s when they were touring for Selling England by
the Pound. What with all the costume changes, it was certainly an eccentric performance
by Peter Gabriel. I'm a little surprised they played it in their post-PG, post-prog incarnation.

Seriously, great reply. I don't often follow up on listening to these, mainly because they want me to work when I'm at work, and I don't like to turn my computer on when I'm not at work. But it is great to see Cap Jacks' efforts, and the appreciation they get.

2nd visit to 1990 (inspired by Renee's '88 set):
(TV: Cop Rock)
Ah, Cop Rock. I liked that show. I enjoyed many of the song and dance numbers, some of
which I recorded. I have a small collection of tapes full of odds & ends, mostly music, from
all kinds of television programs. I could probably find a lot of it on Youtube now.
-
5th visit to 1973, courtesy of RGMike's requests:
It won't surprise you to hear that I found this one uber-wonderful. A watershed year for me personally, and except for the Womack which I didn't pick up on until years later, all those songs were part of the soundtrack. "Superfly Meets Shaft" still sounds like it cost 5 cents to make.

One immediate comparison that jumps out is that the Strangeloves wanted to record Hang on Sloopy as the follow-up to I Want Candy but passed it off to the McCoys instead, and their version, of course, appeared on Renee's 10@10. I learned that by reading ggould's Wikipedia link.

As a collector of that song, I have it on their first/second CD twofer. I like it (Get Together) but find it a little bouncy and cute, and not quite as emotional as other versions. Nonetheless, it's one of the early versions. Have you heard Judy Collins' version for example?

More fabulous stuff. I don't think I'd ever heard that live Wings tune before. Ditto Eddie K's take on "Diamond Girl" -- an instant fave. Dolly's "Higher" beats Rita Coolidge's version by a country mile.
And, strange as it sounds, there was quite a cadre of "Fanilows" (before they were called that) at my college radio station (and yes I was one) and so that Manilow medley got lots of airplay from us.

"Soily" was the Wings closer during their '76 tour, and it was the flipside to the "Maybe I'm Amazed" single. The Eddie K. cover of Seals & Crofts was a happy accident on my part -- I originally had planned to use the single from his album, but stumbled upon this instead, and decided to link it with S&C's single from that year. Dolly's "Higher" was nominated for a Grammy that year, iirc. And the Manilow medley inclusion was inspired by his rejected Hoover jingle (a classic):

that's genius -- and in the '80s, in the UK, ElectroLux's slogan really *was* "Nothing sucks like an ElectroLux"

2. Robert Palmer - You Can Take It (Take My Heart)
holy crap -- I've often praised Mr Palmer for his great taste in R&B covers but I had no idea he'd done this Kool & the Gang tune. Nice.
idea for '89: his take on Jermaine Jackson's "Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming"
And the Madonna song is one I'd forgotten about until it turned up recently as a recurrent on Kiss-FM, despite never having been a single. A small gem.

I originally planned to use "Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming" in my recent '88 set, but decided against it since it peaked on the charts in early '89. I'll probably do a '89 as well as an '84 set soon using the "Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming" (as well as a MJ-themed subset in the '84 set).

the whole set was utterly fab from top to bottom, but lawd do I love Ms Summer -- the only person who could take a Barry Manilow song and make it GAYER. And i love how she sings "could this be a magic" Say what?
ETA: actually I'd never heard the Chicago tune before. That would have to be the "Bottom", then.

yeah, I saw that on YouTube but it's not really a "mash-up"; just the two versions played back-to-back. Apparently there were radio stations back in the day who spliced the two versions together duet-style (as they later did to the Diamond & Streisand versions of "You Don't Bring Me Flowers", which inspired their actual duet).

Really though, even in some cases where I offered an array of choices, you picked the "right" one.
I will have to make the effort to download and listen to this one. Although I wasn't listening to
quite all of this music in 1976, I certainly became familiar with most of it soon afterwards, and it is
very representative of what I used to get through the musical drought of the late '70s. As it is
representative of my tastes, I will be interested in hearing what others think about this set.
Perhaps I should start assembling my cherry-picked lists for 1977 & 1978...

3. Stomu Yamashtu/Steve Winwood/Michael Shrieve - Crossing The Line
I used to have this on cassette back then, and listened a jillion times on my commute back and forth to Palo Alto. Totally awesome. Great Winwood singing, the best Al DiMeola guitar shredding you could ask for, deep bass, and atmospheric percussion and synths. I looked it up on Amazon, and could only find it on import CD. Can't even buy it on iTunes.
8. Steely Dan - Green Earrings
Guitar solos by Denny Dias (1st) and Elliott Randall (2nd). Beautiful crystalline guitar.
10. Joni Mitchell - Song For Sharon
I've always loved this, but probably haven't listened to this track in decades. I just suddenly noticed the opening lines about "going to Staten Island to buy a mandolin." A friend of mine used to be a co-owner of that place! I looked up the lyrics on Joni's site, and ran into this:
The following is a letter to the editor that appeared in the April 1997 issue of Acoustic Guitar Magazine
Q: I was listening the other day to Joni Mitchell's Hejira album, and I was struck by these lines in "Song for Sharon": "I went to Staten Island, Sharon / To buy myself a mandolin / And I saw the long white dress of love / On a store-front mannequin." Now, I've been listening to this album for years, but it just now occurred to me that these lyrics may refer to the Mandolin Brothers store in Staten Island. Is this the case? Did Joni Mitchell go buy a mandolin there sometime in the '70s? What did she buy? Am I crazy for even wondering about this stuff?
A: Stan Jay, president of Mandolin Brothers, would like to assure you that you are not crazy, and that he has been asked this question many times over the years. Joni Mitchell did indeed make a trip to his store on Staten Island in 1976, where she bought a Gibson K-4 mandocello, built around 1915. It is a large (guitar-sized) version of the Gibson F-4 mandolin and is tuned C G D A, one octave below a mandola. On the same trip, she also bought a circa 1915 Martin 000-28 herringbone guitar. It was during the ferry ride back to New York City from Staten Island that she began writing "Song for Sharon."

I'm guessing that's the Australian import on Raven Records, "The Go! Chronicles." It's a bit pricy,
but I justified it as a birthday present for myself. The two-CD package includes the entire Go!
discography: Go!, Go Live From Paris, and Go Too. One complaint I have is that it's not fully
tracked out -- each original album side of Go! and Go Live From Paris is only one track.
-
The 801 was NTM -- me likey.
Anyone who enjoyed 801's TNK should check out some of the other album cuts, like East of Asteroid,
Diamond Head, and Rongwrong. Apparently this album pioneered a new method of recording
live shows called direct injection. I sometimes have trouble listening to it, because I'm trying to play
air guitar and air drums at the same time. Note that the other 801 albums are not up to par with this
one. If you're looking for more material along the same lines, I'd recommend Phil Manzanera's solo albums Diamond Head and K-Scope instead.

Inspired by Renee's recent set, my 4th visit to 1980:
2. D.L. Byron - Down In The Boondocks
Produced by Blly Joel! I liked Mr Byron -- sadyly, he never really broke out of the pack of "next Elvis Costello"s, which was, er, gettin' mighty crowded at that point.

Inspired by "We're All Alone" (and RGMike's requests), a vertical tasting of cover versions of songs from 1970 through 1979:
1. Frijid Pink - House Of The Rising Sun (1970)
2. Bobby Womack - Fire And Rain (1971)
3. Tom Jones - Witch Queen Of New Orleans (1972)
4. Donny Hathaway - Never My Love (1973)
5. The 5th Dimension - Soul And Inspiration (1974)
6. The Hollies - 4th Of July Asbury Park (Sandy) (1975)
7. Frankie Valli - We're All Alone (1976)
8. Ronnie Spector & The E Street Band - Say Goodbye To Hollywood (1977)
9. Blue Öyster Cult - We Gotta Get Out Of This Place (1978)
10. Dave Edmunds - Girls Talk (1979)
https://soundcloud.com/retrocapnjack/115-10-10-vt-1970s-covers
There's a little cheating on my part. Dave Edmunds version of "Girls Talk" was the first recorded version, but I included it here since I used Linda Ronstadt's cover in the 1980 set. And Donny Hathaway's cover of "Never My Love" was recorded in 1973, but wasn't released until Record Store Day 2013. With that said, enjoy the set!

Inspired by Renee's recent set, my 4th visit to 1980:
6. Debbie Jacobs - High On Your Love
NTM -- was surprised to see it actually charted (#70) but it got no NYC airplay I guess. A catchy little ditty.

3. Tom Jones - Witch Queen Of New Orleans (1972)
5. The 5th Dimension - Soul And Inspiration (1974)
mondegreens aplenty: Tom Jones changes "zombie voodoo gris-gris" to "zombie voodoo people" and the 5-D change "my heart's inspiration" to "my-y inspiration". I'm sure the songwriters forgive them, since they got paid regardless.
The BOC was NTM -- interesting they covered that one before David Jo.

Inspired by RGMike's request for Robert Palmer's cover of "Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming", here is my 4th visit to 1989:

4. Deborah Harry - I Want That Man

Sorry, it's been a busy week ;)
Great stuff as always -- the first song was NTM, as was the Madonna B-side. Most of the rest were faves of mine at the time.

indeed -- NTM too, as was the Queen track. Just a delightful set; my adoration for "Ariel" is well-documented. Ditto "Sub-Rosa Subway". And it's amazing that Billy Squier, who gave us so much generic AOR product in the early '80s, was responsible for a power-pop gem like "Who's Your Boyfriend".
-
This is a day early, but...
In honor of Halloween, it's Hits From Hell, featuring the voices of Dave Morey and Don Pardo.
This set was compiled from selections chosen by one Andy Rush. Let me explain...
In the late '80s ('87-'89, to be precise), I would listen to the "Wax Museum" on 97.3 KRQR-FM, hosted
by said Andy Rush, which aired on the weekends. He would play AOR cuts from '64 to '79. In the middle
of this program, he set aside a few minutes for a feature called "Bad Wax". He would choose a song
that he disliked (often a record he used to spin as a disc jockey in the '70s). He would tell a story of
why he chose the song, and halfway through the song, he would "nuke" it (i.e. destroy the record on
air). For this Hits From Hell, I selected ten records that were aired on "Bad Wax" (which I don't believe
were selected by DM for Hits From Hell). I'll post the setlist on Halloween, as not to spoil it for you, if you
listen to it now:
https://soundcloud.com/retrocapnjack/120-10-10-hits-from-hell
Let me know what you think!
ETA: Okay, here is the setlist...
1. Bob Lind - Elusive Butterfly
2. Marcia Strassman - The Flower Children
3. Dawn - Knock Three Times
4. The Bells - Stay Awhile
5. Donny Osmond - Go Away Little Girl
6. Neil Sedaka - Laughter In The Rain
7. Frankie Valli - My Eyes Adored You
8. David Soul - Don't Give Up On Us
9. KC and the Sunshine Band - Keep It Comin' Love
10. Samantha Sang - Emotion

So far, so good: I'm thinking Dave played the TO & Dawn tune at least once (I think he may have done a "career medley" of their hits, like he did for Manilow and Cher). Ditto the Sedaka, David Soul and Frankie Valli. OTOH, "Elusive Butterfly" is one of my favorite songs of all time (the late Scott Muni would've agreed with me). But "Stay Awhile" is truly one of my top 5 HFHs -- a horrid horrid song with horrid horrid vocals.
And I'd forgotten about that "Flower Children" thing -- good gawd. Marcia Strassman, aka Mrs Kotter on Welcome Back Kotter: every nice Jewish boy's dream wife.

3rd visit to 1975:
great stuff -- I always loved that underplayed Queen track; "Dynomite" is, well, dyanamite; and "To Each His Own" is a lost early-disco gem.
Patti's "Redondo Beach" always reminds me of Meg Griffin on WNEW-FM -- she used to play that one a lot. And Macca's lesser-heard LP cuts continue to amaze after all these years.

listening to Heroin from RnR Animal right now. Great version, but mainly for Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner.
Edit: OK, now listening to Perfect Day.
edit 2: use Andy's Chest. Not only does it rock and have great varied shape, but you can hear Lou's New Yawk accent in when he says certain words, like the word "all" at :30 here >>

4th visit to 1969:
1. Fairport Convention - Matty Groves
hadn't heard that in many a moon. Reminds me: I'd like to request some Renaissance for your next '73 or '74 excursions. They were HUGE on NYC prog-FM and you never hear them anymore.
That Monkees tune sounded very Buffalo Springfield.
"The monk bought lunch" -- I referenced "Soft Parade" in my writing a few months back, as my lead character is a lapsed Catholic teen and the bit about "you cannot petition the lord with prayer" really speaks to him. An amazing track.
-
That Monkees tune sounded very Buffalo Springfield.
That was a Nesmith-produced track from '66 that wasn't released until '69. I should put together a set of Nesmith-produced '66 Monkees tracks for a themed 10@10 set one day...

4th visit to 1969:
1. Fairport Convention - Matty Groves
Yes! Matty Groves and Tam Lin got a lot of play on WNEW-FM. I've long thought that
Come All Ye would make a good TOTHC. Great album.
6. Chicago - South California Purples
10. The Doors - The Soft Parade
Playing all the short songs, eh?

I remember that, and yet when I looked at their discography I didn't recognize any of the song
titles, and only a couple of the album covers. I guess they didn't click with me. There was a lot
of prog rock in the early '70s, so it was easy to pass on some groups.

The Soft Parade was the second album I bought with my own money. (I can't remember the
third.) While long songs weren't entirely unusual, the spoken introduction struck us suburban
kids as a little outre and titillating. It aired often on the radio, back when eight-minute tracks
were played without a second thought.

"Ashes Are Burning" was I think the most popular, airplay-wise. They had a song about Russia that got played back-to-back with Al Stewart's "Roads to Moscow" iirc. (speaking of cult artists with loooong literary LP cuts)

"Mother Russia" ( 9-minute epic) is what i was thinking of; "Ashes..." is 11 mins +. "Carpet of the Sun" was probably their biggest airplay item (shoulda been a hit single) -- I'd go with that.

oh, and the Isleys did some of the best R&B covers of "white" hits evah.

Over the weekend I listened to Carpet of the Sun and Ashes Are Burning online and both
rang faint bells. So they definitely got some airplay on WNEW-FM. Hearing Annie Haslam's vocals
brought to mind Procol Harum's lovely Fires (Which Burnt Brightly) from the same year.

did you know Al Stewart used to hang out with Yoko Ono before she ruined the Beatles ... er, I mean met John Lennon?
At least that what he said when I saw him at the Sausalito Art Festival back in 2009 or so. Good show, btw. Just him and another acoustic guitarist. Very interesting chatter between songs, he seems like a find conversationalist.

I view this as two from the same group, as the latter is the Jefferson Airplane in everything but
name.
7. George Harrison - Sue Me, Sue You Blues
Another great "forgotten" song. Why we don't hear these gems more on the radio is a mystery
to me. Instead they keep flogging the same "hits."

Agreed. I regard it as perhaps the best "Jefferson Airplane" album. Why it has languished in
obscurity, especially in JA's hometown, perplexes me. As AL was getting deeper into their
catalog, I thought that eventually she would play something from it on 10@10.

and thanks for the fab 12-string-guitar trifecta! Ditto the BeeGees tune, one of those #1 singles you never hear on the radio.

Best '92 set ever -- and the sort of wide-ranging assortment we'll never get from RR. The Neneh Cherry and Dolby songs were NTM and quite wonderful. I know "Achy Breaky" is a HFH for many but it's an earworm and really encapsulates (for me) why Country radio was so much fun in the early '90s.

also fabulous -- hadn't heard that Gruppo Sportivo track in a dog's age. Never understood why that BOC tune wasn't a hit.
An even more ridiculously poppy BOC track is 1979's "You're Not the One (I Was Looking for)", a rather hilarious Cars imitation from their Mirrors LP.
BTW, it took a while to realize the Purify Bros were James and Bobby Purify, who unsuccessfully tried to make a comeback with that LP. Nice cover versions, both.

(Movie: Purple Rain)
2. Prince and the Revolution - Baby I'm A Star
"The Story! The Struggle! The Movie!" Heh.
"Baby I'm a Star" is easily the most unfairly overlooked track from Purple Rain -- I can understand radio being squeamish about "Darling Nikki" but "...Star" kicks ass and shoulda been a single.
Another stellar collection. I remember visiting SF as a tourist that fall and listening to the short-lived radio station The City -- they played that Everly Bros tune quite a bit, and it was all-but-ignored back East.
-
6. Johnny Duncan - Slow Dancing
I remember some of his country hits, which still show up on ClassicCountry stations, but I'd never heard this before, and thank gawd -- that's some kinda cheezy awfulness. ;)
There are some interesting country covers of pop songs that most folks have never heard -- that would make a great theme set, actually.
But BOS Blondie (easily one of my faves of theirs) and VHM BÖC, from their "let's be slick hitmakers" LP Mirrors, which I mentioned a few posts back. Their fans hated it and there was a big backlash.

It's kind of funny. The original "Slow Dancing" from the Funky Kings is one of my favorite songs, so I'm interested in any cover. But, every cover I've heard has a higher level of cheese. This country one is way off the curd scale. But I could see how it might appeal to a country audience. I could imagine a jukebox in some old Texas roadhouse, and an old couple dancing to this song.
To me, the original doesn't sound cheesy at all, just tender and vulnerable.

The original was beloved by radio and music-biz types who all knew who Jack Tempchin was -- everyone was baffled when it failed to be a big hit. I think the Johnny Rivers version (which I quite like) benefitted from that I-wish-somebody-would-have-a-hit-with-this-song! sentiment.

What, pray tell, is the dischead 1970 test? Is it how much I like the set? That's great for me, but
no so much for someone whose taste does not align with mine.
I've been thinking about what would be a great set from 1970 or 1971. To be honest, I'm not
sure if I can assemble a list that would meet my own standards.

This was delightful. Gems you never hear mixed with a few that were NTM (Partridges, Bobby Bloom). Love that Van Morrison tune, used effectively in The Royal Tenenbaums. Which makes you the Wes Anderson of 10@10.

Wow. That looks very interesting. And clips -- you have clips! Excellent.
The Rod Stewart song is on my oboe list -- I missed the horn. I would have gone with the
Who's Overture from Tommy. I also have The Rascals' (I've Been) Lonely Too Long on
my list, although the horn isn't that prominent. I'll have to make the effort to listen to this one.
Well, if that was so easy, how about pop tuba? Pop bassoon?

This was brilliant. I knew a number of these, but didn't recognize the french horn in their arrangements. The Nilsson, Pretenders, and EC tunes were probably my faves of the bunch, but all great. And you had all four of the great British Invasion bands represented, more or less (Beatles, Stones, Who & Kinks).
So you pulled off the French horn? How about the bassoon? Or oboe? Or perhaps all double-reed woodwinds? Tears of a Clown is a must, but there are lots of others that use one or more of these, so you could really have some fun. A couple of the songs from the above set would qualify here too, but I'd suggest they be disqualified just for diversity's sake.
ETA: I just read thru a few of the other posts commenting on this set and see that dischead also called out for a bassoon/oboe set. I'd call that a groundswell of demand!

That was fun... very interesting. There was a surprising similarity in the songs' "atmosphere," for
lack of a better term, at least wherever the horn was used. It's unfortunate that the instrument
is largely used as background; I think it has potential in a leading role. I note that both Handbags
And Gladrags and Harpies Bizarre have the trifecta of flute, oboe, and horn. Elvis wins
the triple crown though, because I think at one point all three are used simultaneously.
-
I would have gone with the
Who's Overture from Tommy.
me too!
-
Well, if that was so easy, how about pop tuba?

Frightening that I came up with more than ten songs with tuba. :o
Yes, it does raise some questions...
(Radio dial: Mary Hopkin - Those Were The Days)
The one song on my list, although I hadn't given any serious thought to a tuba set. I will have
to make the effort to d/l and listen.

Oboe is not terribly difficult to do; I have ten mostly well-known songs on my list. I also stumbled
across a short list of songs that use bassoon -- they're all songs on the oboe list. I doubt any of
them use the bassoon as a lead instrument; they provide either accompaniment or counterpoint.
There is some precedent for a 10@10 set focusing on one instrument -- Dave's "Cowbells of Rock"
show from October 29th, 2003. More generally, he's also done a "brass rock" set.
-
how about recorder? Jefferson Airplane's "Comin' Back to Me."

I *might* have a Pete Seeger tribute set by tomorrow.
In the meantime, dischead suggested something...
...a "Strictly Instrumental" set. I'll take the first 9 request via PM and I'll generate the set over the weekend.
How does that sound? If you're game, PM me your request(s).
The recent theme sets are a nice change...

I ended up with two selections since I only received eight requests, and I wanted to get this up before
the weekend so dischead, who requested this set in the first place, could hear it. Hope you like the
results -- feel free to comment!

Other instrumentals used just before the network news on the hour were Peaches En Regalia,
Apollo 100's Joy, and some of the tracks from Wendy (nee Walter) Carlos' soundtrack
to A Clockwork Orange. Pick Up in the Morning by the New York Rock & Roll Ensemble
was a popular 6am show opener, as was Mungo Jerry's Have a Whiff On Me. I can't
remember if it was Mike Harrison or Dave Herman who favored those.
Next stop on the nostalgia train: Alison "The Nightbird" Steele's favorite tracks for kicking off
her late night slot at 10pm...

Since the Superb Owl was a stinker, here's my 4th visit to 1974:
1. Professor Longhair - Rum And Coke
2. Stevie Wonder - Birds Of Beauty
(Paul and Linda rehearse "Sally G" on piano)
3. Paul McCartney and Wings - Sally G
4. Steely Dan - With A Gun
5. George Harrison - Dark Horse
(Commercial: Memorex featuring Ella Fitzgerald and Nelson Riddle)
6. Chicago - Italian From New York
(TV: Midnight Special featuring Al Green)
7. Al Green - The City
8. Earth Quake - Friday On My Mind
9. Jimmy Buffett - Brand New Country Star
(Commercial: The Rolling Stones It's Only Rock 'N Roll)
10. The Rolling Stones - Fingerprint File
https://soundcloud.com/capnjack-1/144-10-10-1974
A brief overview of how this set was put together:
With RGMike and dischead reminiscing about instrumental openings on NYC radio,
it reminded me of NYC vet Alex Bennett's opening theme song during his Live 105
days (Professor Longhair's "Rum And Coke", thanks Alex for the ID!). That,
combined with Chicago's "Italian From New York" (a leftover from the "striclty
instrumental" set), and the start of a '74 set is created!
Renee's previous visit to '74 brought grumblings from RGMike about how deeper
cuts would improve the set, so deep cuts from Fulfillingness' First Finale, It's
Only Rock 'N Roll, and Pretzel Logic were chosen (not to mention Living And
Dying In 3/4 Time and Al Green Explores Your Mind).
Geoff mentioned he would like to hear Earth Quake's "Friday On My Mind" cover.
I had Macca's "Sally G" in my back pocket ready for use in a '74 set. And I with
Renee's "year of the horse" set on Friday, it reminded me of George Harrison's
"Dark Horse", but I didn't want to use the album version (subtly known as "Dark
Hoarse" due to his vocals), so I dug out his solo performance from a BBC radio
interview. Add a few sound clips, and, voila!
Let me know what you think!

Love that you got 15 songs in and the set is still around 42 minutes. A couple of sledgehammers for me here too, as I have fuzzy memories at age 3 of driving from Sacramento (where I lived w/ my folks) to San Mateo to visit the grandparents at least once a month. And on the radio we'd hear songs like Ramblin' Rose and I Left My Heart in SF. If you'd included Ray Charles' Hit the Road Jack, my memories would have been complete.

lovely stuff. Stellar as always.
here are a couple of Beatle-related songs from the mid-'70s. Barclay James Harvest take a bunch of Beatle song titles and string them together for a tune titled (appropriately) "Titles"":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRS10BeQOz0
And Bruce Foster wrote this "American Pie"- like song about the Fab Four's career in 1977. It was a mid-charting single that got quite a bit of East Coast airplay:

OMG, I love these clips, well done! Even after hearing the actual Beatles songs since forever, the clips here are breathing new life into them. (also, nice job on splicing together the Renée intro...)
I love the girls from Brooklyn as heard on the "Mutual Broadcasting System coverage of fans at JFK Airport" clip:
Q: How long have you been waiting
A: Foh-aw howahs! (four hours)

And to continue the Beatle theme, there was a Rhino collection that came out on vinyl back in the early '80s called Beatlesongs!, an anthol of Beatle-related novelty records like the Carefrees' "We Love You Beatles"

Since the Superb Owl was a stinker, here's my 4th visit to 1974:
1. Professor Longhair - Rum And Coke
2. Stevie Wonder - Birds Of Beauty
(Paul and Linda rehearse "Sally G" on piano)
3. Paul McCartney and Wings - Sally G
4. Steely Dan - With A Gun
5. George Harrison - Dark Horse
(Commercial: Memorex featuring Ella Fitzgerald and Nelson Riddle)
6. Chicago - Italian From New York
(TV: Midnight Special featuring Al Green)
7. Al Green - The City
8. Earth Quake - Friday On My Mind
9. Jimmy Buffett - Brand New Country Star
(Commercial: The Rolling Stones It's Only Rock 'N Roll)
10. The Rolling Stones - Fingerprint File
https://soundcloud.com/capnjack-1/144-10-10-1974
Let me know what you think!
As usual, a very fun set. Particularly enjoyed the twangy twofer of Sally G and With A Gun. Fingerprint File is one I don't hear often enough -- has it ever made an appearance in an offical 10@10? Not in the Shraytabase period, but I don't recall if AL ever got around to it or not. The Earth Quake take on Friday On My Mind was a real sledgehammer, and 'Fess was the best TOTHK I've heard in a good while. The only negative was the Chicago tune, imo -- the synth squeaks and squawks are a jarring intro, and the rest of the tune just left me flat -- not one of their better ones. Now Mongonucleosis (which I recall you have included before) from the same album (VII) is another matter.

I'll have to agree with you. I originally wanted to use "Mongonucleosis", but I didn't want to repeat using a tune I had used not too long ago (the reason why it didn't make the "strictly instrumental" set, fyi), so I settled on one of the shorter "jazz instrumentals" on VII.

clocks in at just under forty minutes. Let me know what you think!

4th visit to 1996:
1. The Hi-Fives - Skybolt X-66
2. Eleanor McEvoy - Precious Little (per radical347)
well, these first 2 were NTM and I dig 'em both -- Hi-Fives are local boys. Live'n'learn!

I want to say AL played "Precious Little" as part of a 97 set (which was when I charted it).

AL played it once, much to the delight of radical347.

My Valentine's Day set:
5. Peggy Lee - Till There Was You
just getting around to this set. As I mentioned during the Beatles set, this is one of my fave showtunes of all time, and TANC The Music Man was on TCM last nite.
-
15. Nilsson - You're Breakin' My Heart (censored version) (per RGMike)
TANC: the Uncensored version of this song was featured in this week's episode of Girls.

Enjoy!
ETA: I should give a nod to Larry at Funky16Corners (http://funky16corners.com/) for pointing me in the direction
of the cuts from Duke Williams and the Extremes, Jay Berliner, and Herbie Mann; and
Jeff Jank at Stones Throw Records (http://www.stonesthrow.com/funky16/corners.html) for the heads up to the cuts from James Reese and
the Progressions and Shawn Lee's Incredible Tabla Band (not to mention some funk
from Stark Reality (http://www.stonesthrow.com/artists/starkreality)).
-
2nd attempt at Strictly Instrumental:
6. The Pretenders - In The Sticks (per RGMike)
I've always thought this one sounded like the theme from F Troop.
and this whole set was, of course, Fab. Yoo. Luss. I've been working on a couple of all-instrumental mix CDs (they're mapped out, just haven't had time to burn them) and there's at least 6 songs here that are on one or the other (including the orig "Apache"). Next time: "Bongo Rock".
-
Another suggestion for the next Strictly Instrumental: Nicky Hopkins, "Edward the Mad Shirt Grinder"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME2pTRseMBA

Knocking this one off before the weekend... a fifth visit to 1980:
1. Devo - Freedom Of Choice
2. The Pretenders - Tattooed Love Boys

(News: Macca released from Japanese prison)
7. Paul McCartney - Frozen Jap
(Sports: USA Olympic hockey miracle)
8. Robert Palmer - Sulky Girl
9. Steely Dan - Glamour Profession
(Movie: Airplane!)
10. Talking Heads - The Great Curve (per urth)
https://soundcloud.com/capnjack-1/142-10-10-1980
Since I didn't hear this when it aired, reading how the first three tracks were given rave reviews,
I kept the first three tracks intact; kept the artists the same for the final two tracks but switched
the tracks to lesser heard numbers; and filled the rest of the set with other tracks (courtesy of
some suggestions by RGMike and urth and from my recent "strictly instrumental" set). Voila!
Let me know what you think of this revision!
-
6. Professor Longhair - Crawfish Fiesta (sounds like "Rum And Coke" to my ears)
(News: Macca released from Japanese prison)
7. Paul McCartney - Frozen Jap
Agreed on the Prof Longhair. And I'd never heard the Macca track before. Fab stuff as always!
-
Given that Renee gave us a "rum afterglow" '97 set today, to placate RGMike, I present my fifth visit to 1968:
1. Tom Jones - Get Ready
2. Paul Mauriat - Love Is Blue
(Commercial: Oreo)
3. Herb Alpert - This Guy's In Love With You
4. Hugh Masekela - Grazing In The Grass
(Commercial: Things Go Better With Coke - Gladys Knight & The Pips)

12. Engelbert Humperdinck - By The Time I Get To Phoenix
13. Hugo Montenegro, His Orchestra And Chorus - The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
14. Booker T. & The MG's - Hang 'Em High
15. The Human Beinz - Nobody But Me (listen closely to the intro and outro)
https://soundcloud.com/retrocapnjack/134-10-10-1968
Originally, this set was ten songs, but it barely clocked in at 30 minutes, so I added five additional tracks to
get the set's length up to 49 minutes. This nearly became a "'68 strictly instrumental" set based on what
you'll hear. This is what '68 sounded like (to my ears, anyway)... Enjoy!
ETA: A corresponding '69 set should be done sometime this week...

More proof that the 90s don't have to suck. Dug hearing the Nada Surf for the first time in ages; ditto Imperial Teen. And the Fool's Garden was totally new to me, but loved it. Gotta seek them out!

Been meaning to ask, Cap'n -- which CDs of Coke/Pepsi/etc commercials do you have? They're mostly out-of-print and hard to find. There was a Coke CD I remember seeing at Tower in the early '90s -- maybe it was a 100th Anniversary thing -- And I was very sorry i didn't buy it then.

"used" color TVs?? WTF?

Inspired by AL's recent set, here is my 4th visit to 1986:
2. Loudon Wainwright III - Your Mother And I
another fab set overall, and this LW3 lyric is just lovely.
The Manilow was NTM -- I saw the title and thought it was a Wham! cover. And that is a great forgotten Costello nugget.

This is a week late, but, at RGMike's suggestion, here is a Good Friday/Jesus Rock set:
This was spectacular, Cap'n. Hadn't thought of the Judee Sill song in ages. Love the BJ Thomas and Glen Campbell tunes. Dorothy Morrison's cover of "SITS" is amazing.
I'd've added Tom Paxton's "Jesus Christ, SRO" but that's probably hard to find.
But methinks that was the Carl Anderson movie sndtk version of "Superstar" and not Murray Head.

Oops, I think I did use the movie soundtrack version.
I should have asked for requests -- should I do a follow-up Easter set? I do have that Tom Paxton album (Peace Will Come). If there are any Jesus/God/etc. songs you'd like to hear, let me know. This set focused mainly on the late '60s-early '70s (save for Johnny Cash).
Dorothy Morrison (who you hear on "Oh Happy Day") turns in a funky performance, no? It managed to chart in late '70.

threaded by three covers of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now".
Feel free to comment!

Hey Cap'n, any chance you could put the Jesus Rock and 1982 sets up again? I was kind of distracted with some personal stuff that week and missed them altogether.
Loved the Comic book set, btw. Many thanks for sharing all your labors with us!

Very happy to get a chance to hear that one -- several things I hadn't heard in many years, but the Kris Kristofferson track really resonated with me. "Everybody needs somebody to look down on" -- explains a lot of the trolls we find around the interwebs today. The Dorothy Morrison take on Spirit in the Sky and the Judee Sill tune were both NTM, and I loved Oh Happy Day -- can't help but smile when I hear that.

Suddenly my office computer's browser (IE 8 ) is "no longer compatible" with SoundCloud. So I'll have to wait until tonite to hear this one. But it looks fantastic.

My "big name bust-out" theory: there's gold in them thar hills! Plenty of unmined nuggets on
the albums of the big artists. After all, that's why they're on the other end of the spectrum
from "one-hit wonders" -- they have a deep catalogue and most of their albums have lots of
good material. I was compiling some wish lists for 1970 & 1971, and to my surprise most of
the songs were from well-known artists and were relatively well-known in their day. It would
be easy to assemble a great show for those years with only big name bust-outs.
Inspired by dischead's comments, here's my 7th visit to 1971:
1. Flamin' Groovies - Have You Seen My Baby?
2. Lobo - Intro / Me And You And A Dog Named Boo (per urth)
3. New Riders Of The Purple Sage - I Don't Know You (per Geoff)
(TV: The Dick Cavett Show - John & Yoko)

9. Chicago - Mother
10. Rod Stewart - Mandolin Wind
11. Stonewall Jackson - Me And You And A Dog Named Boo

Can you update your Flash without having to get permission from an IT supervisor? That sometimes makes a big difference for me with streaming media, and it seems like they issue updates about every third day so it's not hard to get out of date.

I'd like to hear a 10@10 set of Beatles' covers... TOTHC: T.N.K. (Tomorrow Never Knows) from 801 Live.
I've been compiling a Beatles cover set with you in mind. I will start off with your suggested TOTHK.
The set will probably go to fourteen to match the number of songs on a typical Beatles album.
Hopefully I will have this finished by tomorrow.
As a memorial on the third anniversary of his passing, I offer a potential 10@10 set of my favorite
works from Gil Scott-Heron: musician, poet, visionary. While many notable musical talents have
been lost in the struggle with drug (ab)use, I think that his was perhaps the greatest loss.
I have also compiled a GSH set using your suggested setlist with a few minor additions (courtesy of
RGMike). I just need to add a few soundbites and it should be done before the weekend.
And I'm working on Hits From Hell (for Friday the 13th) and Father's Day sets as well.
Some themed sets to look forward to in the near future!

Fourteen songs and nary a visit to the I Am Sam soundtrack. Well done.
Brilliant set, one of your best efforts IMO. Most of these I've never heard before (the one exception being the Teenage Fanclub). Very interesting how some of them are very faithful copies of the original (Fool's Garden and Flamin' Groovies, to name two) while others are really interesting reinventions (the 801 and Nilsson songs, for instance). And the Al Green cover of I Want To Hold Your Hand is completely his. Superb! Also I love that you slipped Dave in at the end -- YAY!
This is one that could easily see a second volume (not so subtle hint), as so many people have covered the Beatles. I'd suggest Yes' version of Every Little Thing from their first album (there's also a live version of them doing I'm Down from the mid-70s, ironic as that was also their most bombastic prog period). And speaking of I'm Down, Adrian Belew covers it on his second solo record. And Steve Earle does a nice take on I'm Looking Through You on Train A-Comin', his first post-addiction record.
Btw, I think I am caught up on all your currently posted efforts -- listened to both your recent '71 sets this week (caught one in the nick of time, it was gone the next day) and also your '78 and '95 sets too. Will try to expand more on all of the above later, but enjoyed various parts of all of them.
One more thing: what other bands might be ripe for a covers set in the same vein as this one? I'd bet a Kinks set could be assembled, and likely the Stones as well. What other artists have been covered sufficiently to have a deep catalog of tributes?

It really isn't a HFH, but I threw it in there to see what kind of reaction it would get. I think Dave has played Stevens as a "turkey" (a medley of his career hits, IIRC).

A very sweet set, some of my favorite "radio" songs here. Particularly liked the Sports, and actually all of the first five are big faves, as well as the last three songs, too. And the three that came between them were new to me, but perfectly suited for this, so hat's off.
I know "radio" is a seemingly overdone theme, but there's so much material to be drawn from, I'd think there's enough that you could do several more sets and not repeat a song. "Midnight Radio" from "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" is a particular fave. I have others, but not the time to recall them all right now. More later.

Using dischead's template (as well as clip suggestions), I modified the setlist with some country marijuana (!) songs.
Let me know what you think of the results!
Excellent set. Not sure which I enjoyed more -- the songs or the clips. And I was fine with the country stuff. Loved hearing the Shel Silverstein stuff for the first time in eons. The newer ones I'd never heard before (Ashley, Kasey, Brandy -- sounds like a Cal sorority) were fine in a hot-young-country sorta way. BOS for me was Henry, also the Arlo tune (glad you left the afterbit on that one).
Also. *loved* the various Child's Garden of Grass clips. I had a college class that used that as one of its texts, but don't know if I ever heard the audio version.
This is another theme that could easily stand a revisit, should you get the inspiration. I thought of a couple while I was listening -- Fats Waller's "If You're a Viper" being one and I'm blanking on the others. They'll come back to me, probably while I'm nowhere near the computer or the phone.
Question: How come you're still using the Renee intro/outro clips instead of phasing in Annalisa? Not a huge deal either way, I was just curious.

If you can remember any songs that you'd like to hear in a future 420 set, let me know -- I keep notes. :)
In regards to the intro/outro clips, I've been building up a cache of AL's sets, so I should be transitioning my sets using AL's voice soon -- especially when she giggles!

Inspired by AL's choice of 1991 for Wednesday's set, here's my 3rd visit to 1991:
1. Marshall Crenshaw - Better Back Off
2. Shanice - I Love Your Smile (per RGMike)
(Radio dial: Amy Grant - Baby Baby)

(Radio dial: Wilson Phillips - Impulsive)
10. Boyz II Men - Motownphilly (per RGMike)
http://soundcloud.com/retrocapnjack/176-10-10-1991
This set was rapidly put together with the idea that 1) AL might not play any of these tracks in her set
(although I think she might play Siouxie) and 2) folks here are generally not happy with a '90s set
due to a lack of variety (which I hope this set has). Let me know what you think!

that looks utterly fab -- several oft-requested tunes (by me), and the Climie Fisher tune is the Best. Rod Stewart. Imitation. EVAH, so... nice segue there. Sadly I still can't listen to these at work until they upgrade our PCs (soon, I'm told)

A request driven set, inspired by dischead's comments (http://10at10club.com/forum/index.php?topic=10292.msg178513#msg178513), here is my 7th visit to 1972:
Ah, if I had only known, I could have filled out the set with requests and even a guilty pleasure
or two. Mostly great choices here, although I am not a Wings fan. And I would judge One More
Saturday Night to be LN for a Dead song, as it was used frequently for an encore or second set
closer in shows. Had you caught the hint from my recent sigs it would have been Brown-Eyed
Woman instead, and Mr. Charlie would have been an inspired choice as well. It was wonderful
being reminded of that gem from NRPS, and it was great hearing the GSH track again.
Among other reactions, for me this set highlighted the difficulty of creating a cohesive show
when assembling tracks from disparate genres.

What's to get? They're possibly the best prog rock band and probably the most talented.
I picked River because in addition to being a personal fave it's also one of their most
accessible tracks. Rather than write about them myself, here are a few relevant passages
lifted from Wikipedia:
Gentle Giant were a British progressive rock band active between 1970 and 1980. The band
was known for its extreme complexity and sophistication of its music and for the varied musical
skills of its members. All of the band members, except Malcolm Mortimore, were
multi-instrumentalists.
[...]
Gentle Giant's music was considered complex even by progressive rock standards, drawing on a
broad swath of music including folk, soul, jazz, and classical music. Unlike many of their
progressive rock contemporaries, their classical influences ranged beyond the Romantic and
incorporated medieval, baroque, and modernist chamber music elements. The band also had a
taste for broad themes for their lyrics, drawing inspiration not only from personal experiences but
from philosophy and the works of both François Rabelais and R. D. Laing.
[...]
From the start, Gentle Giant was a particularly flexible band because of the exceptionally broad
musical skills of its members. One Gentle Giant album would list a total of forty-six instruments
in the musician credits -- all of which had been played by group members -- and five of the six
members sang, enabling the band to write and perform detailed vocal harmony and counterpoint.
The band's approach to songwriting was equally diverse, blending a wide variety of ideas and
influences whether they were considered commercial or otherwise.
It is the depth and complexity of their music that gives it the staying power for continued
enjoyment after repeated listenings over decades. How many times has some pop song been
played on 10@10, and someone here makes a comment to the effect that they don't need to
hear it again for X years? Yet I could play my Gentle Giant albums every day and it would
be weeks before I would tire of them.
It's like the difference between reading the Sunday New York Times and one of those free local
papers that cover high school sports and print the city council minutes. The difference in
vocabulary, sentence structure, and sophistication of ideas makes the latter disposible and
enables the writing of the former to remain interesting weeks or even months later.

4th visit to 1966:
One more RR set to go! In the meantime, let me know what you think of this one.
A short and fun set.
1. The Beatles - Doctor Robert
As a group the Beatles released just over two hundred songs. Yet we haven't seen them all
on 10@10. This would be a bust-out
4. The Rolling Stones - Stupid Girl
The Stones cover Garbage! :)
5. Bob Dylan - Visions Of Johanna
One of my all-time favorite Dylan tracks. "And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out
on the D train" -- naturally I'm not sure exactly what he means, but if memory serves, the D train
ran for several minutes and tens of blocks without a stop on the way under and up to Harlem -- a
notably long run in the NYC subway system.
6. Frank Sinatra - Strangers In The Night
This says 1966 more to me than any of the other songs... accompanying my mother on errands
and while shopping... she still listened to WNEW-AM out of New York, where this was standard
fare.
8. The Lovin' Spoonful - Coconut Grove
Another favorite track; ditto the other comment about John Sebastian being underappreciated.
-
a pleasant enuf set I guess, but given the year and the suggestions... hardly earth-shattering.
I feel no great urge to catch the replay tonite.
yes, while pleasant, most of this set seemed to fall into the FF/LN category to my ears.
[paste comment about wasted potential here]

While today's set is better than average, I still have to give it mixed marks. In the beginning
I thought we might finally be getting more of a rock set, but it quickly swerved back into pop
territory and never looked back. However we did get three good bust-outs, and just about
everything else was a relative rarity on 10@10 -- a very low LNQ.
There's so much stuff happening in 1970 that it would be possible to have great 10@10 sets
from each of many genres: pop, soul, funk, ten different kinds of rock... so it's frustrating that
'60s sets have been notably pop-heavy. It's also disappointing because there are bands like
Jethro Tull, Chicago, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, etc., whose later material gets regular play on
KFOG, but their early work -- the releases that established them as big artists -- is all but ignored,
even on a specialty show like 10@10. I just don't understand that. It seems like KFOG has
become afraid of rock music in the past few years.
DING DING DING!
Triple-A has been, essentially a mellow-rock-leaning version of Hot A/C for some time now, and I think that, in Cumulus' corporate mind, KFOG's job is to share as few songs with The Bone as possible. So while they may play a lot of the same artists, we get the "mellow" side of those artists on KFOG (see: Zep's "Tangerine" or "Going to California"). This new PD seems to understand the importance of pop cheeze in the context of 10@10 -- it makes for great "oh wow" songs -- better than DC did, and I salute him for that (but then, I *like* pop cheeze). But yeah, there could be more deep rock and prog tracks, esp in '70s sets. My other request yesterday was Ten Years After "Love Like a Man" -- I'll have to keep flogging that one.
There's also the '60s and '70s For Dummies factor: People in the younger demos are probably more familiar with stuff they heard on Oldies stations growing up (the "classics") than with obscure LP tracks that guys like us remember fondly.
And with the above comments in mind, here is my 9th visit to 1970:
1. Ten Years After - Love Like A Man (per RGMike)
2. James Taylor - Lo And Behold

Fresh off AL's set (and because dischead likes to rock and likes 'em lengthy), here's my 6th visit to 1969:
1. Chicago Transit Authority - Introduction
2. Bob Dylan - To Be Alone With You
3. Steppenwolf - Monster / Suicide / America (per RGMike)
4. Barry Goldberg and Mike Bloomfield - Jimi The Fox (Dedicated To Jimi Hendrix)
5. Jefferson Airplane - Hey Fredrick (per dischead)
6. Tammy Wynette - Stand By Your Man (per RGMike)
7. Joe Cocker - Dear Landlord

8. Neil Diamond - Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show (per RGMike)

9. Aretha Franklin - The Weight (per RGMike)
10. The Who - Underture (per dischead)
https://soundcloud.com/retrocapnjack/213-10-10-1969
The set is balanced out with some of RGMike's requests. That said, this set clocks in at over 56 minutes -- enjoy!
-
(and because dischead likes to rock and likes 'em lengthy)
Oh, I don't have any particular fetish for long songs, but if something is good, who doesn't
want a lot more of it? No, when RGMike mentioned a couple of long songs it reminded me
of several others, and I even forgot to mention King Crimson's In the Court of the Crimson King
and Do What You Like and Had to Cry Today from Blind Faith. And there were another
half-dozen that I thought might qualify but it turned out they were from 1968. It seems like
everybody was putting long tracks on their albums at the time, and it was viewed then as a
radical departure from the previous singles-oriented world.

I only remember KFOG playing the Beck, although it's certainly possible Costello got a few plays. While there are a few pop hits here, I wouldn't say anything is LN... yet. I do think "SexyBack" will eventually become the golden oldie our descendants will never want to hear again.

Just started this one -- That has to be the Band on the Run song that gets the least radio play -- maybe one of the least-exposed tunes in Macca's whole catalog in fact. Nice.
and that New Riders song -- hadn't heard it since '73, probably. "Plenty pretty people in the city/I swear some of 'em are girls" -- LOL.

I don't understand why KFOG doesn't play any New Riders at all... their music is an excellent fit, they're a local band,
there's the Grateful Dead connection... even Hot Tuna, who apparently have only recorded two songs during their
entire existence, at least gets that small exposure.

Doing a short shift at my day job for vacation coverage, so taking this opportunity to catch up here. And let me say you haven't lost your touch. First off, I never knew Salt N Pepa's "Whatta Man" was a cover. No idea whatsoever. Really nice mix of R&B and pop tunes here. Loved the Humphrey and LBJ clip - Johnson could not sound less sincere. And Cowboys To Girls is a longtime fave, always good to hear. So in short, yes, I am glad to see you creating new sets - definitely keep posting, but only 2 or 3 new ones per week please; that's about as much as I can keep up with.

1 - Yes, that's an early version of "Leaving on a Jet Plane", from his self-released album (250 copies made).
2 - White Rock soda was a NY/Northeast area thing -- I included it after hearing it on a NY-radio aircheck (forgetting which DJ at the moment).

we had 3 big local sodas in tne NY metro: White Rock and Hoffman (which were both in the supermarket -- Hoffman made a Chocolate cream soda that was sublime) and Hammer, which was home-delivery only. (I never got the point of having soda delivered special to your house)

Well done. Thanks for including Natalie Cole. I had no idea she recorded Pink Cadillac until I was poking around on Youtube after hearing about her death. I prefer her version to Aretha's now.

Is the version of "Good Morning Good Morning" just a basic track? I'm not hearing any backround vox or horns or any of the other embellishments, just guitar, bass, drums and lead vocals.
Love hearing the Gerry & the Pacemakers version of How Do You Do It. I've almost gotten more accustomed to hearing the Fab Four version from the bootleg I've had for ages.
That Ivor Cutler cut was just weird.
None better than "Hey Bulldog" -- "d'you know anymore?"
Two thumbs up.

Yes, it's from Anthology 2 -- this set was put together from themes/ideas I was planning when Mr. Martin passed, and I cobbled everything together.

Once again, Irish Greg has posted on FB about a 10@10 that he's not sure really aired on KFOG:
"It starts with the Ben Folds Five "Army" which drops a "fuck" in the opening line, followed by "Ugly Girl" by Fleming & John and later includes Britney Spears "...Baby One More Time” and a Willie Nelson song for good measure. The backsell at the end is garbled which makes us think that maybe this is a musical version of fan fiction, where somebody uses the 10@10 intro and outro and just inserts ten songs of their choosing. Maybe not though as there's a long news actuality in the middle about the Columbine High School Massacre..."
Sounds like another "fan-assembled" set. Does the above sound familiar to anyone?

Not even close. My records span from late April 2002 through the end in 2016. According to my files,
neither Ben Folds Five's Army nor Spears' ...Baby One More Time ever appeared on 10@10. Ugly Girl
was only spun twice. This was not a KFOG 10@10.
