I don't care how much of a "geezer" you are, if you listen to KFOG even casually you ought to know who Ed Sheeran is. Meanwhile, this morning's "hipster" was able to ID David Soul. These kids today...

Nope.  I have no idea who Ed Sheeran is.  A lot of this stuff goes in one ear and right out the other.

Finally decided to listen to "Nuthin' But Nineties" for awhile this morning, and it's been mostly standard-issue KFOG playlist staples from that decade. Nirvana, DMB, Sheryl Crow, U2, Lemonheads, Counting Crows, Fastball, the Foos... with the very occasional only-played-on-10@10 nugget like Jamiroquai or the Beasties thrown in for spice.

In other words, any Foghead who says "OMG! I haven't heard this song in ages" this weekend hasn't been paying attention. Didn't see any complimentary comments about this gimmick on the KFOG FB page.

Next Tuesday KFOG will be giving away Foo Fighters tix. They're calling it "Foosday Tuesday".

And after a big live promo for the aforementioned Foosday, they went to commercial while putting the stream into some a loop of one chord semi-funk that is just repeating over and over and over and over....

Better that than "Budapest" :)

Happening again. I guess that means that the Samuel Adams "I love the summer ale!" campaign has finally come to and end, so at least there's that. (Wonder what became of This Day in Rock History though -- those were kind of entertaining.)

I've never been a big Florence/Machine fan; her voice is just this side of caterwauling to my ears. (Not Bjork-level caterwauling, but still.)  However I do like "Ship to Wreck" and it's a shame it's become one of those every-4-hours KFOG currents.

Newest entry in the "OMG I hear ths song every time I turn on KFOG" sweepstakes: DMB "What Would You Say". I say "enuf already".

ETA: Police "Message in a Bottle" is another one.

Not sure which I am getting more worn out on -- the Imagine Dragons or that damn space-filler music that seems to pop up on the stream at least a couple times an hour for 5 minutes or more at a time. Their sales department is really lagging on finding a new account for that space.

I dunno - I still find it catchy enough. Granted it gets played too much, but then again it is doing well in various formats.

And the daughter of Schneider sounds nothing like I'd expect. And she doesn't use his name, so you have to give her at least some credit for that. It's not like we're talking about Willow Smith here.

To my ears it's quite disposable. It's like some producer said "let's find a girl and make her sound like a cross between Lorde, Florence and Adele"

I like the song reasonably well, but it seems to me like she's borrowing heavily from the Amy Winehouse style manual. However, Amy's not using it anymore so someone might as well. And frankly, I'd say being Rob Schneider's offspring might be a handicap, so I give her a bit of credit there too.

TANC: She was an answer to a Mind the Gap question today -- they played a clip of the song and the "geezer" said "oh... oh... it's that Amy Winehouse soundalike!"
