It may be just a Morning Show thing, but KFOG seems to be playing more "classics" (esp '70s stuff) than they were 6 months ago. Mostly obvious stuff (Cars) but the other day I heard "Stuck in the Middle with You". And Kevin Hunsanger of Green Apple Books, who along with Tim Goodman got the heave-ho after the Webster-and-Irish Greg purge, has been brought back to do book reviews (!).  They had Joel Selvin on recently too  -- geezers are takin' over, yo.

this morning in the first hour I heard "Have You Ever Seen the rain", "Kodachrome", and "Dream On"

When I posted about this on FB I said "remember when they used to play 'Rocket man' 27 times a week?"  Well, guess what appeard at 6:20 this morning?  ::)

Also, fresh from yesterday's 10@10, we head Freddie Jones Band "In a Daydream" in the 6:00 hour.

I've been noticing an uptick in U2 the last week or so (both on KFOG and a couple of Portland stations), and more recently Los Lonely Boys seem to be in regular rotation, too. My assumption is they have albums and/or tours coming.

Webster led off his show this afternoon with David Bowie's "Andy Warhol" -- that's one I don't think I've heard on the radio since the early 80s -- and that was college radio.

And just to reinforce my aforementioned theory, it was followed by U2's Invisible.

Wow, that would have been a surprise for sure.  If I was awake at that time.

Ah, yes--some Warhol sketches were discovered on a floppy disk from a Commodore Amiga or some other long outdated computer. You may have hit on it.

Fogheads are idiots, episode 346:

Renee just played a phone call with a foghead who apparently called in right before 10 to request a Coldplay song. And the guy goes on about how he's been listening to KFOG and 10@10 since he was a teenager (he's in his 40s now). AND THEN he asks if Dave Morey is still doing 10@10.

Big fan. HUGE fan. Right.

No mention in this thread of the latest change: Mr Pugh is gone and they brought in a new overlord from Chicago to run KFOG & The Bone. And the usual "OMG! KFOG is Doomed!" comments appeared on social media bur it doesn't seem that way to me.

Yep, as I mentioned in a couple of places, when you really stop to think about it, KFOG's stability over the past 30+ years is actually fairly remarkable. I predict no real impact.

I do not know about the specifics of KFOG/Cumulus/the radio business, but in general, never underestimate the
ability of corporate suits to fuck something up.

From a FB Foghead (neither a 'snipe nor a member of this forum): "Annalisa is a huge asset to KFOG. I always liked her Acoustic Sundays."

Clearly she's thinking of Rosalisa.

I mentioned elsewhere that Radiohead's "Creep" has been showing up a lot. Ditto multiple Cars songs.
