No clues as of 8:45 Sun nite. I'm re-guessing 2003.

I believe you are right. I did hear a promo, "a year we've never been to before".

eek. Hoping against hope for Outkast -- about the only thing that would make a 2003 set bearable.

I am guessing we will get a little ditty about Stacy's Mom.

wow, was that 2003? Jeez. I remember KFOG barely playing it at the time.

2003? Where's the novelty in that? I remember Dave's rule was it had to be at least 12 years ago. Eight years ago is like...now.
-
No surprise: White Stripes, "7 Nation Army". BOS1

exactly. Actually Dave went back as recently as 9 years for a while. But I suspect we'll get 2004 and 2005 in the coming weeks.

from Witchita to "Amsterdam". I forget who this is.

Guster.

Guster.
thanks for the Guster, buster.

I second that!

Thirded. My second favorite Christopher Guest effort.

BOS3 Jet -- hard to believe this is 8 years ago. The first "Coolest Song in the World" I heard when Little Steven premiered on The Bone that year.

Ya know, I was just thinking that this would be a likely candidate. I wonder if Audioslave will appear.
I really hope we don't get "When I Look To The Sky".

so many things wrong w Barenaked Ladies doing some dubby reggae thing, like this. Not a BNL fan in any case.
yikes! I cannot get the image of Peter Finch doing a white man's overbite dance on this one.
-
BareNakedLadies -- guess this is no surprise either, tho' I don't remember it being a KFOG staple in '03.
-
and we're STILL waiting for the Arrested Development movie...
-
Yay for "Arrested Development". Such a fantastic show.
-
Luce? Rob Thomas?
-
No thanks for Matchbox 20. Waste of breath.
-
Luce? Rob Thomas?
The latter. Making me wonder why I bothered tuning in. Feh.
-
Luce? Rob Thomas?
Mr Thomas and his Matchbox compatriots. WOS1.

I can't tell which band is whiter...BNL or They Might Be Giants. In any case, ugh.

made-up fact: he and Cher went to the same vocal coach.
this next one seems NTM -- has some jangly pop elements, not too bad.

BNLs are whiter by virtue of also being Canadian. Even Robin Shabotsky thinks they're lame!

Jayhawks, during their non-Mark Olson period. (He's back as of last year.)

TMBG embraces their dorkiness with gusto, which makes them waay cooler. They're also from Brooklyn.

"Rainy day"? it was quite a KFOG staple but I'm blanking on the band.

Dixie Chicks = ATBB? nice, so what if it's a cover?
great song.
-
Yay Dixie Chicks. BOS4
-

I'll give a BOS for the Chicks and their stand. And Landslide is such a beautiful song. They do a nice job on it.

America's reaction to their lead singer's fairly innocuous comment r/ W is one of the low points in this country's history.

Los Lonely Boys are making blooze for the yacht rock set with this one.
-
sounds like Fountains of Wayne listened a lot to the Cars.
-
VHM Los Lonely ABB Santanas.
-
AL is on FIRE today. JK. 8)
But it's better than I expected at any rate. BOS, Jet. VHM Dixie Chix, Los Lonely Boys...
-

Oh it's a very deliberate hommage for sure. BOS5. This set coulda been alot worse.
-

In their live set they do an irony-laden montage of late 70s tunes in the middle of Radiation Vibe (their first hit). Cars and Joe Walsh are prominently featured. Styx, too, iirc.
-
Damn, this set could've used some Justin Timberlake!
-
oh my, is this that hyperbolically glam English band?
forget their name, but BOS!

Gotta give her credit. Whenever a year comes up that makes me cringe, she rises to the occasion and finds the gems among the shite.

heh, I enjoy all those bands without that convenient irony!
Irony (i' ron e) - something hipsters use to make listening to crap rock an acceptable pastime

YESSSS! uber-BOS6.. AL outdid herself, considering the year.

I enjoyed that more than anything else in this set.
hey Dave, I was at the Stanford/SJSU football game, and met someone who said they had seen you there. Looked for you on the field after the game, unsuccessfully obviously.

She really did find some of the higher moments of '03. Next question: were there enough good songs from that year that she could do another set without repeating any of what we heard today? (Hey Ya is yet to be called upon, so that's one.)

good question -- another "recent" set ('01? '02?) was also pretty front-loaded and made me wonder the same thing, re: next time.

I'll bite:
“Hey Ya”, Outkast
“There There”, Radiohead
“Honestly”, Zwan
“Dirty Sticky Floor”, Dave Gahan
“Crazy Beat”, Blur
“The Boys Of Summer”, Ataris
“Are You Happy Now?”, Michelle Branch
“Like A Stone”, Audioslave
“Righteously”, Lucinda Williams
“Dyna-Mit_Ee”, Miss Dynamite

We've been to '01, '02 and now '03, all since August 1, so it would seem if they're going to add those years to the wheel, we'll hear at least one more before the end of this month.

heh, welcome to it. My old-ass laptop at home won't let me post to FB, or else I would have dazzled the hoi-polloi with that nugget myself.

looking at Billboard's Top 100 of 2003, I'd say "Crazy in Love", Beyonce (with or w/out Jay-Z). OTOH, AL could decide to include Nickleback...

BNLs are whiter by virtue of also being Canadian. Even Robin Shabotsky thinks they're lame!
TMBG embraces their dorkiness with gusto, which makes them waay cooler. They're also from Brooklyn.
Despite Peter Finch's love of the band, I have to admit that I'm a fan. But more so of their concerts than their albums, which tend to be way over-produced. (Actually their shows are tightly produced as well, but they're quick on their feet with the improv and banter, so it always feels fresh.)
BNL has gone through stages of trying to be "cool", but early on they definitely embraced their dorkiness:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3d/GordonBarenakedLadies.jpg)
What bums me out is after his arrest for cocaine posession, Steve Page left the band. He was always the deep/moody/intellectual one that gave the band some gravitas, and his voice, OMG his voice.
BNL continues to tour as a foursome, but without Steve's sarcastic (and operatic) counterpoint, I just don't think it'd be as great. I've not bought their new album nor gone to any of their concerts. If I win the Mountain Winery tickets I might go...
Sorry, didn't mean to devolve into a BNL memorial.

BOS to the completely unexpected Darkness (though I do recall this being on KFOG's playlist back in the day.)
BOS2 to Stacy's Mom.
I guess they had to play Los Lonely Boys. Not usually a fan of that song but it did sound good on 10@10.
I love Unwell but Matchbox Twenty should not be on Ten at Ten, especially not Unwell. Disease might have been a better pick.
The BNL song was huge on AAA for a couple of months...then dropped off the face of the earth.
Could have done without the Jayhawks and screamy Jet and the Dixie Chicks (concerning the latter, I wasn't terribly punk'd at radio's reaction to them, although that might be primarily because I don't like their music too much to begin with except for "Goodbye Earl." Of course they're allowed to say whatever they want, but radio is also allowed to play whatever it wants.)
-
BOS2 A Mighty Wind.
did they play a song, or just a clip?
-
BOS to the completely unexpected Darkness (though I do recall this being on KFOG's playlist back in the day.)
yes but just barely. I remember Live 105 playing the hell out of it, and KFOG sorta tried to ease it in by talking about it in the Morning Show (Irish Greg was a big fan) but the then-older-skewing Fogheads didn't care for it.

-

I think just a few clips.
one had the holy trinity (Chris Guest, Michael McKean & Harry Shearer) talking about the band's early days, when their low-end record company produced vinyl LP discs without holes in the middle. The buyer had to punch their own hole ("But they were still good records, they were good product.")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVa3cOE5-1M
then Fred Willard was talking about his shtick as a performer.

As do I… and it only seems like it was a couple of years ago. Happened around 6:30 if memory serves (I was waiting in my car for a carpool, so it had to be before 7).

I must've caught a rehash of the debate - we're seldom up (or conscious) that early. ;-}

Other good albums from 2003:
Johnette Napolitano: Sketchbook
Kraftwerk: Tour de France
New Pornographers: Electric Version
But yes, not a great year. I also don't like the smashing of the 10 year barrier. Anything after 2001 is too new to play on 10@10. There should be an additional rule that if it played on Alice, it's not welcome.

Well, that's a funny/snarky line but I actually disagree: Blondie's "Maria" (for one example) is on my 1999 wish-list and it was a song that Alice played to death and KFOG ignored (despite having multiple Blondie oldies in constant rotation). I really wish the "new" KFOG would add it to the rotation.

Ok, then we can amend it to say something like if it's an older song that gets any play on Alice now, or in the past 3 years (2008 was the time Alice decided to turn itself into mediocrity, almost cold-turkey) then it's not welcome. Alice was a very good Hot AC station before that.
-
Worth noting: AL commented on FB that she wanted to play Outkast and forgot to bring it in, so there's hope for the next '03 set.
