Cheap Trick followed by "Dance Away" to start.

"Boogie Wonderland" into the Mighty Zep, "Fool In The Rain".  This is much more rewarding than 1990!

"I want you To Want Me" -- overplayed, but undeniably a classic TOTHK.

OK, I'm in. A mediocre Stones song from Steel Wheels (Almost Hear You Cry) pushed me over the edge.

I see that in the 9:00 hour they played Robert Palmer's "Sailin' Shoes/Hey Julia/Sneakin' Sally" medley.

When I launched the player it gave me a choice of the Silverlight player or the old WMP--I went for the latter and it's working fine.

That would be a TANC.

BOS #1 for LRB "Lonesome Loser", BOS #2 for the Clash "London Calling".

I've said it before, I love this album, but I just don't get how you can include it in 1979, or the 70's generally.  It was released in the 3rd week of December in 1979, and nobody in the US was listening to it until much later in 1980.  And yet this isn't the first time we've heard it in a 1070 10@10, and there was at least one Best Albums of the 70's list we've seen that included this.

Thanks -- I tried that but it will not give me audio -- I have that problem with all "Liquid Compass" players on my work PC. I have no idea why, since they're suppoed to work if you have WMP, which I do.

George Harrison, Blow Away, from his eponymous record that I'd completely forgotten.

It's an OK song, but I'm not sure I can picture the Beatles doing this.

BOS to I Do The Rock however.

As soon as this came on I thought the same, and yet remembered how much I'd liked this back in '79.  Probably haven't heard it in 30 yrs.

I like how this DJ jumps in and gives a live intro here and there, I understand other DJs do that, whereas Dave never does, but I hardly listen to other 10@10s

So is IDTR the token "weird" tune in this set?

It's The Knack with their other song everyone knows, but doesn't really like as much as their first one, "Good Girls Don't"

btw, did you ever see that movie "The Knack  ... And How to Get It?"  

great English 60s movie, w great soundtrack by John Barry

One thing the Sound's set has over KFOG's: they got a higher powered sponsor. Volvo vs. California Closets.

Always found it a little funny that one of the most frequent sponsors of a feature that's entirely the work of a completely "out" gay man is California Closets.

but I giggle like a schoolgirl when Dave talks about that sponsor who gives a meat baton to everyone.

Not me, I like this one MUCH better than "My Sharona", and did even back then.

This was not a bad set. Wonder if we could convince them to move it up an hour and change the name to 10@9 once Dave reappears?

I'm curious if Larry, the DJ who creates these, does them live as DM did, or records them ahead for playback?

Larry Morgan is their morning guy, so he could very well be sticking around to do it live, a la Dave. OTOH, Rob on the Peak is also the Morning guy, but he records ahead of time.

BTW, if you take their listener survey here:

(it takes 2 minutes) you will be entered in a giveaway -- they give away $3000 every afternoon at 3pm by announcing the name of someone who filled out the survey -- you have a half-hour to call them back at 888-696-1003.

Could have posted this in the I Didn't Know That! thread - but I just learned this week that Marty Balin actually rehearsed "Jane" with the band a few times before quitting.  I'd assumed the song had been written with Mickey in mind.
