Yes, per the KFOG email I got today, "A to Z" returns Thursday May 5th, which I assume means it's meant to be a 10 or 11 day affair. (Hope it's not the springboard to a format change, as it was for the Bone!)
-
Thought I'd jump-start this thread, since A to Z starts today after 10@10. Guess that means the "bonus track" goes on hiatus for a week or so? Even I intend to forgo CG, for the rest of today at least.
-

LOL! Yeah, that was interesting (The Bone: You guys picked these... honest!).
I wonder how the new format change has affected Der Bone's ratings.
As for KFOG A-Z: I intend to only listen to the Ws to make sure they play "Wild Women of Wongo"...

And I was just thinking that today would be a good day to check out CG, being as it's their election day and all. See if they send Tony packing for his silly allegiance to GW.

I forgot about that -- I'll check out the top-of-the-hour news for sure. Don't think they'll send Tony packing tho'... the Tories are in the odd position of trying to make Iraq an issue, even as they continue to be to the right of Blair on every other issue.

I imagine y'all heard that the British Consulate here in NYC was attacked with a pair of grenades this morning? Ah, articulate political statements ... :x

Didn't take long for the first alphabetical screw up. 2 songs in fact.
"A" followed by "A Change" & "A Life Of Illusion" instead of followed by "Abacab".
If this is really how they plan to do the list & not just a random mistake, it also means we won't be hearing several "A ..." songs from last year: "A Case Of You", "A Dream Away", "A Face In The Crowd" & "A Girl In Trouble"
-
'A' with a space after it comes before 'ab'. At least when a computer sorts it.
As a professional records keeper, I wouldn't start a list with songs that are like "A Day in" or "A Life of". Those would be "Day In the Life, A" and "Life of Illusion, A".

Exactly, and they didn't do it that way last year, "A Change" came in the C-H's.
This also begs the question if they intend to do all the "The ..." songs in the T-H's, which would be even more ridiculous.

well the Jackson Browne tune didn't make the cut, and neither did the Hornsby
-
Let's see if "Ain't Nothin' But A House Party" makes the cut, for Rod's sake.

NOPE! they substituted "Ain't no Sunshine". Unfair!
-

Looks like a greatly truncated songlist so far.
"Airplane" by Widespread Panic is the 20th song so far by my count, and there have already been 9 songs from last year that didn't make the cut this year (and I'm allowing for their different filing system mentioned earlier). Of those 20 only 2 are songs that didn't show up last year, "A Sort Of Homecoming" & "Ain't No Sunshine".
So plus 2, minus 9, net loss of 7. If this trend continues 2005's A-Z will be about a third shorter than 2004's.
-
Just now we lost "Albatross" but gained "Alabama Getaway".
I'm beginning to lose faith.

that's especially sad since we heard the Dead tune on 10@10 yesterday.

41 songs in & now the score is plus 6, minus 23. Here are the songs we missed out on since last year:
A CASE OF YOU -- JONI MITCHELL
A DREAM AWAY -- CARS

(don't worry, I won't keep this up much longer)
no, this is fascinating! Seriously. Last year's was the longest-ever, if memory serves (started 6am on a Monday and ran thru the following, what, Saturday?) So, 12 or 13 days? This one will run -- at most -- thru next weekend, more like 10 days if that. Too bad, since they only seem to do it once-a-year these days.
-
final update, then I get in my car & drive home & won't keep up.
Aqualung is our 63rd song, 8 of which are new form last year. At the same time we have skipped 31 songs from last year, the most recent of which are:
ANCHORAGE -- MICHELLE SHOCKED
AND YOUR BIRD CAN SING -- BEATLES
ANGELYNE -- JAYHAWKS
ANGIE -- ROLLING STONES
ANGRY EYES -- KENNY LOGGINS/JIM MESSINA
ANGRY WORDS -- WILLIE PORTER
ANNIVERSARY SONG -- COWBOY JUNKIES
ANYTHING BUT DOWN -- SHERYL CROW
I'm really upset to have missed the Jayhawks!

If they continue dropping songs at this rate, this A to Z should be about 25% shorter than last year's. It's quarter past 5 and Big Rick just said they're nearly done with the As.

"Hypnotized" kicked off the 7am hour & closed out the H's. very tasty.
The I's might take all day, but already they've skipped "I Believe In A Thing Called Love", "I Confess" & "I Do The Rock".
Skipping The Darkness, which was certainly a 2004-specific song is understandable, but skipping "I Confess"? Blasphemy!

Clearly they want this thing to be over before the weekend. Given that they only do it once a year (whereas a few years back they did it every 6 months), that's especially sad.

Since then they've skipped the following:

I Got Loaded - Los Lobos (not fair!)
I Got My Mojo Working - Paul Butterfield Blues Band.

"I Need an A-to-Z that Won't Drive Me Crazy"

No shit!
The score so far in the I's: 20 songs played, only 1 of which (I.G.Y.) was new, 15 songs skipped.
Yikes!

You're talking about the English Beat song, right? Well then, cool your ire, cuz they played it, at 7:57 according to the KFOG Just Played engine.

Actually no, they didn't. I was listening. And a few songs later they erred in the opposite direction, playing Hootie's "I Go Blind" but not listing it in the Just Played Db.
But praise jesus, they just played "If I Had A Boat" by Lyle Lovett. That makes up for a lot.

I heard it, I swear. I was making a pot of tea and feeding the dog, and I remember thinking "well, here's another of those songs that only gets played during A to Z and 10@10."
-
After leaving off last nite with "Let My Love Open the Door", they picked up this morning with "Let the Good Times Roll" by... BB King. Which means they skipped the Cars song of the same name. Finally, an omission we can live with!
Of course, a couple songs later they played the Cars' "Let's Go"...

ah, it's the "Like" songs. Neil, "Like a Hurricane". Me like!

I heard Miracles, and thought of you. I also wondered if Marty was married at the time. I would imagine that he could have all the 'companionship' he desired when that song was current!

A-ha! As I walked to work this morning, I passed an older woman with curly blonde hair and glasses who was wearing a KFOG jacket as she was getting coffee at the little place next to our building (KFOG's offices are over on the next block). I wondered if it might be Rosalie, and sure enough, she's subbing for Annalisa today. And getting to play a nice piece of the alphabet too: Paperback Writer, Peace Train, Peaches en Regalia, to name a few.

You're right about Marty and "Miracles," I'm sure. His love life has been kept oddly under wraps -- he was the only person completely disengaged from the band's sexual politics (and in their VH1 bio, he gave the impression he was a bit bitter that Grace didn't sleep with him).

I had the same thought this am. Once they get past the Ts, they've only got a few hours of stuff left. The Ws could take a couple of hours, but U,V, X & Z are all good for about half a dozen songs apiece (or less).
ETA: Oops, almost forgot Y.
-
U,V, X & Z are all good for about half a dozen songs apiece (or less).
last time I think "X" consisted of "Xanadu" (the ELO minus ONJ version) and "X-Offender" by Blondie, which, if it doesn't get played this time, I for one will be very upset.

Well whaddaya know. I figured Annalisa would finish the Ss, but I just tuned in to see where they were, and Big Rick just played Suffragette City followed Sugar Mountain. So there's a little bit to go before they hit T--all the "sweet" songs--Sweet Martha Lorraine any one? Probably will hear Sweet Child O Mine again, but probably not Sweetleaf.
Hey Geoff, here's Sugaree! (Probably no Sugar Mag tho--that would have preceded Sugar Mountain.)

questions, questions, questions...
Annalia's in the midst of the what/where/when/which/who/why stretch of the W's... it's What I Need.

Ray Charles, "What'd I Say?" Maybe the nicest surprise of this year's A-to-Z. Did they play this last year?

Can't recall--Mshray's the man to answer that question.
But if they're in the Ws now, then they should wrap this up sometime during Big Rick's show, methinks.
Wonder how big an effect the A-Z thing has on their numbers (May is an Arbitron sweeps month after all.)
-

I can only assume it does well for them or else they wouldn't keep doing it. But I think they blew it this time by not making it longer. Not only did 95.7 flip to the "jack"-like format, "Max", while this was going on, but several local stations including Star 101.3 have been having "playing whatever we want" weekends. KFOG could've at least stretched it out until Sun nite.
-
And WTF happened with the X's?
the Just Played feature shows that between the last W ("Wrapped Around Your Finger") and the first Y ("Year of the Cat"), they played... "Brother Down" by Sam Roberts ? HUH???
-
I'm curious if the whole thing is done or not. Big Rick played Zooropa right before the replay last night, so they were getting close, but I didn't stick around long enough to hear what came afterward. Guess we'll know after the marathon this morning.

That WAS the end, Big Rick made a big deal out of it. And unless he was gonna play "Zorba the Greek" by Herb Alpert (or unless someone wrote songs called "Zygote" or "Zzzzzz") I guess it was a fine end. Still wondering about the X's, tho'.

Last year they didn't play "What'd I Say", they went from WHAT WOULD YOU SAY - DAVE MATTHEWS to WHAT'S THE FREQUENCY KENNETH - REM.
For the X's they did play Olivia AND Blondie.
But my biggest question is about the When's (or to be more specific the WHE songs) which last year was probably my favorite stretch of 10 songs I've ever heard on the radio outside 10@10, and went like this:
WHEEL, the - JERRY GARCIA
WHEEL IN THE SKY - JOURNEY
WHEN I COME AROUND - GREEN DAY
WHEN DOVES CRY - PRINCE
WHEN I'M 64 - BEATLES
WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS - LED ZEPPELIN
WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWN - U2/B.B. KING
WHEN THE WHIP COMES DO - ROLLING STONES
WHEN THE WORLD IS RUNNING DOWN - POLICE
WHEN YOU DANCE - NEIL YOUNG
WHEN WE WAS FAB - GEORGE HARRISON
I guess they played no more than 2/3 of those this time around.
-
And didn't they used to post the whole list on the website? Not this year (at least I can't find it). To avoid comparisons, perhaps?
-
I'm sure diggin' it. Especially the old stuff.

So is this a longer list than last time? I remember them doing it on New Year's Day a couple years back; they started at noon and ended around 10pm. Today they started at 8a and it looks like they'll end around 8p -- that's two extra hours. Even if the New Year's version was commercial-free that means more songs today, no?

I was listening most of the day while house cleaning and doing laundry, was digging on Dave's many Fab Four trivia questions. Such as: "Which is the only Beatles song on which John played bass?"
-
I think the one before was not a complete list, although, depending on your definition, this one wasn't totally complete either. It did include Real Love and Free as a Bird, but it didn't include other songs from the Anthology series like Leave My Kitten Alone or That Means A Lot.

I didn't hear that one. I'm guessing the answer is "The Ballad of John & Yoko." But yeah, the trivia was very good; my favorite was "What are the four Beatles songs with subtitles?"
