They're running that Reno-Tahoe commercial again -- the one with the chick with the uber-country, shitkicker accent talkin' 'bout "partyin' till the cows come home, y'all!"  Honestly, this spot would be fine on KRTY but it's just awful anywhere else.

OTOH... they've finally got a different Events & Adventures commercial without the dweeby founder in it.

the Reno-Tahoe ad campaign has been HORRIBLE in every incarnation I can think of.  The fake concert settings -- whether it's country or hard rockin', or R&B soul lady -- I DETEST  the faux crowd excitement with the call-and-response "RENO! TA-HOE!"  It's absolute torture every single time.

New Releases Thurs: Mike Doughty is "reworking" his Soul Coughing songs. Oh Joy. (Translation: he was too lazy to write new stuff).

also: new John Mayer, "Wildfire" (NOT the Michael Murphey song). Kinda country-ish, continuing his Allmans-y phase.  Not bad.

Just checked Mediabase, and that Capital Cities song is #4 on AAA...  :o

...and KFOG is one of the few stations on the panel not playing it anymore.  ::)

Sodden thought: August used to be Local Music Month on KFOG -- I think it even continued into the DC era last year. But I haven't heard any mention of it this year. (Admittedly I have been listening less this month than I have in a while.)  Did it quietly go away, or have I just not been listening enough?

They've definitely been promoting it pretty heavily.  I've heard at least a couple songs from the local CD every day.

My FB "upcoming birthdays" reminder lists KFOG, which turns 31 next Monday (9/16). hard to believe the big 30th anniv shindig (and AL's departure) was a year ago.  I haven't heard any mention of this year's birthday on-air.

Double Whammy:  4 Non-Talents "What's Up" (which they must play 27 times a week)  followed by that insipid Jack Johnson song. Eeek.

Heard the lemonheads cover of "Mrs. Robinson" yet again this morning -- that's four times in the past week and I only listen in the morning. 

And heeeere's "Rocket Man", a onetime many-plays-a-week staple, making a comeback.

in the last half-hour we heard both "Closer to Free" and "Closer to Fine" -- and I never need to hear either, ever again. Now "Closer to Home", OTOH...
