Methinks there will be a Loma Prieta reference. And maybe some Stone Roses!

and lo, he wants to be a Door...

BTW, (and a propos of what Radical posted in the other KFOG thread) it sounds like that "Mr Announcer Guy" dude, who has been the station's image voice for ages, is being eased on out the, er, door.

she's played a few songs the clueless of us have no idea about, which should make some very happy.  If a song gets played you don't like, let's see if we can restrict the put downs to the song itself, and not to the people that like the song?  There's a line between entertaining snark and personal negativity IMHO.

No love from me. To me it sounds like an improved Flock of Seagulls song, with a dull repetitive riff.

Apart from Kravitz and FYC (and even there, at least it wasn't "Good Thing"), this is a thankfully non-Katrina set. "The Look" has been on before, but not for a very long time. Could DC be easing off a little?

Along with XTC and The Cure, although "Fascination Street" is a song I could never get sick of.  (Admittedly, so is "She Drives Me Crazy."  :-X )

Good point about DC possibly easing up.  I've noticed that too.  We have 2 good-as-any-for-their-year sets in a row.  I guess if the rarities keep on getting BOS, he can't ignore that.  Also, while I don't deny that there's been more mainstream tracks appearances, it may have seemed worse than it was; since AL's been doing 10@10 for a few years now -- I'm sure that she, like Dave, has her favorites & after awhile more repeats are bound to happen.

I've been thinking that too. Seems like she's being given a little more latitude for creative song selection over the last week or so. And the segues have been bordering on brilliant, as always.

Finally got home from what was a very very long day about an hour ago. Fed the animals, put the cheese into the fridge, and am now sitting back listening to today's replay and having dinner: a nice plate of spaghetti with sausage and peppers, and a healthy pour of pinot noir.

ETA: That Dramarama song provided an ideal opportunity to go replenish the aforementioned pinot. Sorry, but that song didn't do it for me. Sorta Bryan Adams redux.

Late 80s/early 90s? I remember seeing her open for Robert Plant circa Now and Zen and hearing it then.

BTW, (and a propos of what Radical posted in the other KFOG thread) it sounds like that "Mr Announcer Guy" dude, who has been the station's image voice for ages, is being eased on out the, er, door.

Not that I'd make a fuss about a change of announcers, but there doesn't seem to be any part of the KFOG package that DC doesn't want to remake to suit his own vision. (Except DJs. So far he hasn't canned any of the airstaff. In fact, he's brought on a few people.)
