Hmm. Hoping she can work her magic on this one as well as she does otherwise.
Dylan a good TOTHK.
Things Have Changed. No. Fucking. Shit.
-
BOS1 "Things Have Changed," a major late-career high point for him.
-
first BOS for Things Have Changed
-

Agreed, tho' I still think he's ripping off the melody of "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition...)" more or less.
Damn, AL has worked overtime on the clips. Kudos!
Are we getting one song from each year?
-
WOS to the election of GWB, I'm already sulking over how sucky this decade turned out.
-
WOS2 to Jack Johnson, even more boring than usual.
-
WOS2 to Jack Johnson, even more boring than usual.
Amen to that, although this is at least a song we haven't heard to death in the course of "KFOG variety." Hoping for better from here on.
-
HM to Dylan.
BOS1 to Jack Johnson, since this was before he became horribly overrated. This album really was fresh-sounding back in the day.
-
And we're getting it. BOS2 Wilco, Jesus Etc.
-
Oh, WOW. BOS of the month if not the year to "Jesus, Etc.," my favorite Wilco song, and one that really captures the post-9/11 vibe (even if it was recorded months before).
AL, thank you.
-
Holy crap...when she played the 9/11 clip I wondered if she really would play "Jesus, Etc." This gets a BOS2 from me.
-

Indeed, Mr Johnson is boredom personified. This 3rd song is familiar, but I can't identify who it is.
-
the irony is that some simpleton like me who doesn't listen to much besides KFOG or KPIG doesn't recognize some of the obscure tunes AL's been spinning to please you hard-to-please guys. Tune#4 for example. What the hell is this?
-
"Mission Accomplished!"
AL is nailing the decade, that's fo' sho'.
We have to hear "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley at some point, no?
-
VHM (I can't possibly give another BOS vote) to "Seven Nation Army." I never warmed to Jack White's voice, but the riff is undeniable.
-
AL is really getting political, as well she should.
BOS3 White Stripes, Seven Nation Army.
-
The White Stripes...HUGE alternative hit. Not quite a VHM, but still good choice. A band I generally respect even though I don't like anything by them.
LOL @ Janet Jackson.
-

It would be a good choice, and it should work within the framework she's got going. That was 2006, iirc (it was all over the radio in the UK when we were there that year). I was kinda hoping for Hey Ya for '03, but it's just a little too bouncy-happy for this set.
-
I'm going to Wichita to give a BOS to White Stripes.
Are there any other Jack's she can work in?
-

BOS2 from me -- ironic since KFOG barely played the White Stripes this decade, even after Fogheads named the album a fave-of-the-year.
BOS3 Green Day!
-
Sad how big a deal the nip slip became. Janet Jackson's career was killed (not that she helped herself with her halfhearted albums).
-
Despite the overkill of "21 Guns", I can still BOS "American Idiot".
subliminal mindf*** America
-
AL takes it to GW, big time. Another BOS for American Idiot, beeps and all.
-
Ugh...not this song. WOS Green Day.
-
I'm going to Wichita to give a BOS to White Stripes.

How about Flaming Lips' "Thank You, Jack White, for the Fiber-Optic Jesus That You Gave Me"? Aww, that was '03.
-
this is such a non-KFOG set.
-
Uuuhhhh, the iPod was introduced in, what, 2001?
-
The Arcade Fire...wtf, this song is still a current on Live 105.
-
Appearance of Arcade Fire may be biggest surprise of set. I was in Montreal at the time of Katrina, and their "Neighborhoods" song was in their version of the Billboard Top 10, alongside Black Eyed Peas, etc. Was odd to hear on the radio in that context since they're a fringe act here.
-
WOS 43 "Brownie, you're doing a heckuva job."
Not sure I've ever actually heard the audio on that before.
Annalisa keeps hammering away.
-
this is such a non-KFOG set.
as are most of her Live-105-ish '90s excursions. Speaks volumes about the wussiness of the Triple-A format.
-
Uuuhhhh, the iPod was introduced in, what, 2001?
There were plenty of MP3 players in '01, but I don't recall iPods appearing before mid-decade.

Bingo.

This is a band I confess to having a kneejerk reaction to--they were too hip too fast, and I just said "pass."
-
I've never liked Arcade Fire, and this song isn't an exception, though I haven't heard it before. I just don't dig the dude's whine.
-
Damn, Arcade Fire NEVER got played on KFOG that I ever heard. Major kudos & another BOS.
-
here's your Crazy
-
Ha ha ha! Bless yo' soul, AL! BOS4 Gnarls.
-
We have to hear "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley at some point, no?
Good call, Mike! Another BOS for this - my personal song of the decade. "I just knew too much ..."
-
Uuuhhhh, the iPod was introduced in, what, 2001?

Per ipodhistory.com, it was intro'd in October of 2001. It took a while to reach critical mass, but I remember seeing 'em on the street in the spring of 2002.

And kudos to Mike for the crystal ball action. VHM Gnarls B.

it didn't take off until much later though. I remember going to the very first live and local at the Winchester on Friday the 13th of June, 2003 & when Renee gave one away to the attnedees she had to explain what it was & clearly I was one of only 3 or 4 there who had already heard of it. The first ones used MusicMatch, it wasn't until Apple rolled out the iTunes store that it really went places.

True, but there are a # of legitimate Triple A songs I can think of this decade that would have been good choices. Life On a Chain, When You're Falling, Camera One, Destiny, Ghost, Cannonball, The Little Things, & others.
As for her 90s sets being Live 105 ish that's true also but when did AAA officially become a format of its own? If I recall most Alt. stations in the 90s were very similar to Triple A now. I mean even Jewel was an alternative staple back then.
-

This weekend I heard "Keep the Car Running." It wasn't on the side show either.
-
BOS3 Crazy!
WOS2 to KT Turnstile. She has better. (Though at least this isn't "Black Horse & the Cherry Tree.")
-
First "happy" song of set - KT Tunstall, who KFOG got me hip to a year before "Cherry Tree" became a smash.
-
Tired of January. Tired of June. Tired of KT Tunstall.
-
BOS Obama

It's at least appropriate to play KTT, as KFOG legitimately played a significant role in her breaking through in the states.
-
finally they play a song I have heard, and...
it's Coldplay! ackk!
-
BOS Obama
The girl who won the 9:00 pop quiz this morning didn't seem to think so ;)
Viva La Vida = overplayed but still Coldplay at their finest & a good rep of 2008. BOS4 on principle.

I think AAA came into being around the same time, '92 or so--think Lyle Lovett, k.d. lang, Rembrandts, 10,000 Maniacs etc.
-

True, but not as significant as American Idol :-\
-
VHM to Coldplay, overplayed though "Viva la Vida" may have been. Still sends chills when the mood is right.
-

I'm glad she held of until this album, I really didn't warm to their first couple albums but Vivi La Vida is quite good top to bottom.

Triple-A has been a separate format since the early '90s. That's what made KFOG diff from Live 105 all those years. If you heard Arcade Fire on KFOG this weekend, I'm guessing it has something to do with Fogheads' best-of-the-decade lists (see previous post about the White Stripes).
[righty nutjob voice]OMG! Obama screwed up the oath! He's not really Prez![/righty nutjob voice]
-
Was this big on KFOG? I've actually never heard U2's "Magnificent" until now, though I know it charted on the Hot 100.
-
I guess it makes sense to play U2 & Coldplay back-to-back.

this is one of the most-played tracks from the album on KFOG

Well there's your first break, and then there's your big break. KFOG gave her the former when they had her open the Concert for Kids in Dec '04 before her album or single had been released.
-
A nice way to end the set! BOS5 to my #29 song of the year. My full top 50 live countdown will be posted whenever I get finished. (Probably in a week or two...and don't worry, there's no Jack Johnson. 8))

Yeah, they spun it in medium-to-high rotation for a few months. They they dropped it in favor of IGCIIDGC. (which I'm glad she's not playing)

I almost never listen to KFOG outside 10@10. Given what you guys describe, I don't suppose I miss much.
-
appropriate that we follow Coldplay's U2 imitation with the real thing. ;)
Damn, AL did a fine job with this. I always thought there should be a year-end recap on 10 @10, and then the year should be mothballed for a decade. But Dave never went there.
It just occured to me that the voiceover guy at the very end sounds like Jason what's-his-name from the Daily Show (Samantha Bee's hubby).
-
Big ups for the sounder at the end: "It's ten great songs from one...(pause)...decade. Well, the music was good."
-
everyone have a nice safe night. Gaz, if you ever stop in to Lansky's on the upper West side, http://www.lanskysnyc.com/ and you see a six foot tall waitress, it's probably my daughter Sonja. Say hi!

I liked that song immensely; I just never bought it on iTunes. Same with Pete Doherty's "Broken Love Song," (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BP72cFjx69U) which actually is my #1 song of the year.
