The station is "Bob", a variation on "Jack" ("we play anything"). 9am in Austin is 7am here, so if The Peak isn't floating your boat, now you have a choice.

I've been in Austin a half dozen times in the past few years & have listened to that station in my rental car every time. They really do play anything, and some of the transitions are pretty hairy. But better than your average radio station to be sure.

I didn't realize KGSR had gone with the "Bob/Max/Jack" format. They've been on the air in Austin under those call letters for a long while--my wife worked there part-time as a board op when she lived there in the early 90s.

KGSR is 107.1 -- "BOB" is 103.5

Ooops. The comment to the video said 9@9 was on KGSR. Guess Bobheads are just as dumb as Fogheads.
Must say that the proliferation of 10@10s around the country is pretty interesting though. Suddenly they seem to be popping up all over. LA, Austin, Long Island, Chicago, and the departed ones in Portland and Boulder (sigh), all emulating the long-standing KFOG feature. Wonder if Dave hasn't inadvertently spawned a whole trend in programming?

This morning, when I went to the KGSR website and found no trace of anything called "9@9", I googled and came up with "Bob" -- but I also came up with Seattle's "The Mountain", a Triple-A which I guess used to do a 9@9 (there's an empty page on their site with that heading). I listened to them for a half hour or so; their morning guy makes Webster sound like Dave, snark-wise. But they're doing a "Top 103 musical rip-offs of all time" -- songs that sound like other songs (e.g., "Another One Bites the Dust" rips off "Good Times"). Looks like they play one every hour, they're up to #30, countdown-style.

Great list, and fodder for many arguments. And the station uses the same voice guy that KFOG and KBCO use.
ETA: top of this hour (1pm) they played Genesis, "Misunderstanding", which they say rips off Zep's "Fool in the Rain".

never noticed that before, but it totally does.

this is one of the most interesting features I've come across, I can't wait to hear the next one. Looking at the list, they haven't yet used the Springsteen/Tommy Tutone or Springsteen/KISS examples.

Ha! Genesis' "Misunderstanding"shows up again -- this time as having had its melody ripped from Sly's "Hot Fun" (Phil Collins has admitted as much; he also says "Sail on sailor" and "Hold The Line" are in there). A (county) pair of rip-offs, ya might say.
-
BWAHAHAHA! They're doing the Marley "Buffalo Soldier"/"Banana Splits Theme" comparison! Major kudos!
Don't know if they do this on the overnites or stop at 10pm or so; I sure hope I get to hear #1 sometime tomorrow.
-
seems this feature ends at 7pm each day; before I left at 4 yesterday they did the JJ "Breaking Us In 2"/Badfinger "Day After Day" comparison -- wonder if they'll do "Fools in Love" vs. "Watching the Detectives"?
-
Austin "Bob" did 9 from '93 today:
Jimmy Cliff -I Can See Clearly Now
Haddaway -What Is Love
Pearl Jam -Daughter
Aerosmith -Cryin'
P.M. Dawn -Looking Through Patient Eyes
Red Hot Chili Peppers -Soul To Squeeze
Stereo MC's -Connected
Proclaimers -I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)
Peabo Bryson & Regina Belle -A Whole New World
-
had to happen: KMTT this past hour did the RHCPs "Dani, Calif" vs. Petty "Mary Jane's Last Dance" ripoff comparison.
-
ripoff #21: TP's "Saving Grace", stealing from ZZT's "La Grange" -- Saving Grange?
-
TANC: It turns out former KFOG'er Haley Jones made a stop at KMTT in Seattle before moving on to The Sound in LA. (I was investigating KMTT's apparently defunct "9@9" feature and an article from 2006 came up that mentioned her as Music Director)
-
at #19: Robbie Dupree rips off the Doobs. Guess it was either Robbie or the Pointers' "He's So Shy".
-
#18 is cool, 'cause I'd never heard the song by The Creaky Boards, the indie-band who claimed Coldplay plagiarized them for "Viva la Vida". But here it is.
-
#17: LZ ripping off Willie Dixon. The KMTT jock sez she thinks LZ may be the act that ends up wthe the most mentions when the list is complete. And based on this blog post, she may be right:
http://therecord.blogs.com/blogovich/2007/09/led-zeppelin-as.html
holy crap -- they plagiarized Jake Holmes??
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTsvs-pAGDc
that's amazing.
-
I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed a countdown so much. #16, U2's "Desire," which rips off... well yes, we know it rips off the Bo Diddley beat, but (per KMTT) it steals from the Stooges "1969"!
-
U2's "Get on Your Boots" makes its 2nd appearance -- it had ripped off "Pump it Up" previously, now they've linked it to... Escape Club's "Wild Wild West". What, no "Subterranean Homesick Blues"?
-

wow. I knew about some of the older blues guys and how Zep stole from them, but never heard of Jake Holmes or knew about Spirit's song "Taurus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogTFdlbup24)," an instrumental which contains the chords to Stairway to Heaven's main acoustic riff.
I like LZ, awesome band, but I just lost a little more respect for them.
I would have liked hearing this countdown in its entirety. hope to hear a replay.

Did they mention ZZ Top plagiarizing "La Grange" from somebody, I wanna say John Lee Hooker, yet? I heard that on XM's Deep Tracks a few weeks ago, it even led to a landmark lawsuit.

Yup -- it's at #32 (the Hooker tune is "Boogie Chillun")
missed these last nite/this morning:
#14 JCM rips Cafferty/Beaver Brown: "R.O.C.K." --> "On the Dark Side"
#13 Phil Collins rips Prince: "Sussudio" --> "1999"
#12 Green Day rips Oasis: "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" --> "Wonderwall" (I hadn't thought of that one)
#11 Stones rip k.d. lang: "Anybody Seen My baby" --> "Constant Craving"
-
never heard of Jake Holmes
Seek out "So Close," a song of his from ('73?) that barely made the Hot 100. Grand, sweeping ballady thing. In a good way.

a wonderful song, a lost favorite (late '69/early '70, actually) -- and another that Manilow shoulda done on his '70s covers CD.
-
We're in the Top Ten!
#10 - Dandy Warhols rip the Stones: "Bohemian Like You" --> "Brown Sugar"
-
#9: the Kinks ripoff themselves -- "Destroyer" --> "All Day And All of the Night"
-
#8: The Raconteurs rip JJ - "Steady As She Goes" --> "Is She Really Going Out With Him?"
-
Austin "Bob" did '87 on their 9@9:
Bananarama -I Heard A Rumour
R.E.M. -The One I Love
Robbie Nevile -C'est La Vie
Europe -The Final Countdown
T'Pau -Heart and Soul
Bangles -Walking Down Your Street
Los Lobos -La Bamba
Gregory Abbott -Shake You Down
Bon Jovi -Livin' On A Prayer
-
#7... WTF?
Shania Twain rips ABBA: "C'est la Vie" --> "Dancing Queen".
-
#6: Sheryl Crow rips Stealer's Wheel - "All I Wanna Do" --> "Stuck in the Middle w/You"
-
yay! #5 is Ray Parker, Jr ripping Huey Lewis! I ain't 'fraid o' no lawyers! "Ghostbusters" --> "I Want a New Drug". Both are from 1984 -- has Dave ever played 'em back-to-back in an '84 set?
Parker also did a good job ripping off the Police; "I Just Can't Get Over Losing You" is just "Every Breath You Take" sideways. (Bustin' makes me feel good!)
-
Brooooce makes it in at #4, ripping off Tommy Tutone: "Radio Nowhere" --> "867-5309 (Jenny)"
Bonus: they played a live acoustic version of the TT tune.
-
speaking of ripoffs, U2's "No Line On the Horizon" steals a melody line from the Clash's "I'm So Bored with the USA".
-
no surprise here: Jet at #3 with "Are You Gonna Be My Girl", ripping off Iggy's "Lust For Life" (which, earlier in the countdown, ripped off "You Can't Hurry Love").
BTW, kudos for their inclusion (at #61) of "Der Kommissar" ripping off "Super Freak".
-
#2 -- again, no surprise: George ripping off The Chiffons! "My Sweet Lord" --> "He's So Fine"
-
Now, I really thought George and the Chiffons would be #1, but they were #2... I arrived home tonite to discover that the #1 ripoff is...
Coldplay, "Viva La Vida" ripping off Joe Satriani, "If I Could Fly"
WTF??
Note that nowhere on the list were Boston's "More Than A Feeling" ripping "Telstar" (a rather famous one, no?); Phil Collins' "I Wish It Would Rain Down" ripping Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here", The Beatles' "Oh Darling" ripping Charles Brown's "Please Come Home For Xmas", or my personal favorite, the EC/JJ/Stevie clusterfuck of "Watching the Foolish Detectives in Love While Jammin' the Master Blaster". The full list is here:

Any other suggestions of ones they missed?

That's a fun list.
