I won tickets to the SF Opera last year from the morning show.  It was a spelling bee, using various opera terms.  (I'm a decent speller, but I admit I had help from my wife.)

Anyways, they actually had a computer mishap where none of the call got recorded the first time through, so after I won, they had me "recreate" the moment.  That's radio biz for ya.  They *did* leave in my kids cheering for me, so that was cool.  :-}

Today's inductee into the Foghead Hall of Shame: the woman who couldn't remember this guy's last name:



"I know his first name is Alice, but I'm drawing a blank..."  Irish Greg responded, incredulously: "Well, how many male rockers named Alice *ARE* there??"

(BTW, it's Alice's birthday -- he's 60!)

New candidate for Most Annoyingly Overplayed Song on KFOG: DMB's "You & Me Together" -- heard it in the 6am hour and here it is again at 9:50.

Just heard a station ID that included a male voice reciting this line (or as best as I can recall it):

"San Francisco, San Francisco, you're a muttering bum in a brown, beat suit. Can't make a woman on a rainy corner."

Great line (Ferlinghetti maybe?), but WTF?

AL just had Jorgen Ingmann's "Apache" playing in the background as she talked.  !

After years of dreaming of winning requestorama, I won this morning. (Graham Nash) I requested Peter Green's Supernatural, just like I always wanted, and they said they couldn't find it, and did I have a second choice.  When it was replayed on the radio, my original request was snipped out!
We might have gone, but we have a gig early Sunday morning.  If any of you wants the two tickets to Stephen Stills at Cache Creek Saturday night, let me know ASAP.  I'll ask around at work if you guys can't use them.

Last couple of times that I've launched KFOG's player it's gone straight to the stream, without the El Cerrito Honda ad as an intro. Another lost account for the Cumulus sales department?

are you launching it from their website or from the link here? (the player on the website doesn't work on my work computer, so I use geoff's link here and it always goes right to the stream without the ads)

I remember Live 105 playing Portishead's "Sour Times" back in '97, but did that station ever play Massive Attack?  I've adored everything I've heard from them to date.

Hey Gaz -- you don't appear to be Facebook friends with our Darryl, but he just posted there looking for advice about an impending trip to Pittsburgh, PA -- things to do & see.

Thanks for the heads-up - I'll seek him out via your FB friends.  (Or, Darryl, if you read this thread, look for me there.)
