Request thread is up.

Request thread is up.
and a rather paltry thread it was, considering it was posted early in the evening. And what up with FP? he requested Fastball and Lucinda Williams with 2 of the biggest FFs of that year. No doubt we'll hear both. I'll be skipping this one.

I've noticed that there is a bit of a lag whenever AL returns from vacation. It appears that many of her listeners forget there is a thread to begin with. I guess I'm not overly surprised.
"The Way" is in the "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" class of songs that were cool to listen to, the first billion times I heard them. I thought for a good while that Lucinda Williams would've ridden the coattails of Sheryl Crow's success, but that didn't quite happen. Nice to listen to every blue moon.

The Lucinda tune has come in-and-out of vogue on KFOG in the intervening years -- there have been times, depending on the PD, when it has been in heavy "recurrent" rotation. I like her, but I always put the song in that category of "artists KFOG played because they sounded exactly like someone else they already play" -- in this case, Bonnie Raiit. There are probably still Fogheads who think it's Bonnie.

So far, two songs that I very much associate from 1998: Harvey Danger from Live 105/Alice, and "There Goes The Neighborhood", which features a line about wing-ding, and KFOG exploited that fact to death.

I'm thinking this one has been in at least 75% of '98 sets...

wow, remember the annual Wing-Ding (and its associated 10@10s?)
Speaking of KFOG shameless self-promotion, they're announcing Concert for Kidz next week -- apparently there'll be more than one show this year.

Gracias!
No love for R. L. Burnside. I don't know if I've ever heard this song on regular radio, but it was in heavy rotation on RadioParadise for a while.

you have that reversed I think ;)

Massive Attack, Teardrop
I requested this a couple of times, probably in 2012. I don't know if that counts cuz I've had a drought longer than California's. DD requested it last night, and sundaygal liked it, so I'm sure that helped it get on air. Easily BOS.

This is a good song, but also a bit of an FF if I recall correctly.

indeed, as are the Fastball and Harvey Danger. A rather DC-era-ish '98 excursion.
