Just heard a promo in which she gave these hints: "the year Will Ferrell joined SNL and the year OJ got off".

I heard that. so that means 95?
I hope we get Smashing Pumpkin 1979 and Duran Duran White Lines

One thing we can pretty much count on for every year is that we'll hear a lot of songs Dave would never play (perhaps, at long last, Baby Got Back?) and we may never again hear nuggets that Dave held particularly dear (say, Message To My Girl). I just hope Annalisa is as willing to go back into the 60s as Dave was, and doesn't overdo the late 80s and 90s.
And with Annalisa asking for suggestions, this may be our chance to finally hear those songs we've always longed for. Mike, you may now start lobbying for "When Smokey Sings."

LOL! I note that the Foghead email made mention of "the '60s to today" -- hope that doesn't mean we're gonna get sets from the '00s. I'm willing to give Annalisa the benefit of the doubt, but unlike Dave I'm SURE she will NOT have "complete creative control" -- management will not be letting her play whatever pops into her head a la Morey, methinks.

Expect that you're right. It's a feather in her cap that they gave her the reins to the station's signature franchise show, but I'd guess she will have to focus mostly on the years they'd prefer, rather than whatever she feels like.
Still wish those front-office weasels had kicked down the cash and Dave were producing new sets. But as they say, if wishes were horses...
-
I was a little worried this morning when the server was down on the re-opening day. I'll try to catch the beginning before class starts. Enjoy!
-
go niners!
-
oo! New Opening!
"Oh what a bonanza!"
No idea who this first song is.
-
Interesting start - a Foo Fighters song I've never heard before. I wonder what, if any, rules she has for inclusion.
-
Interesting debut: Foo Fighters, "This Is a Call."
-
Well, we're off, you know....
Not too bad a start with the Foo Fighters, particularly since this is sort of a 95 sledgehammer for me.
-
Interesting start
and an "interesting" jinx!
-

it's a song I'm guessing Live 105 was playing in '95... but KFOG certainly wasn't.
-
"wowee wow wow" explained Annalisa as she launched into her first 10@10.
Digging this Foo Fighters song.
-
I think this whole set is poised to be Live 105-worthy. Dave played HMTMKMKM once or twice, no?
-
Lots of possibilities in this year. I was diving into the alt country thing hard in '95, so any of that genre (Jayhawks, Son Volt, Wilco) would be welcome listening.
U2, on the other hand, kinda meh.
-
BOS U2 -- another that's probably not in the shraytabase. (but then, Dave only made a handful of visits to '95).
-
A Bond theme song needs some bombast and a hook. this def fits. BOS
-
Dave played HMTMKMKM once or twice, no?
only four five times in seven eight sets!
-
I think this whole set is poised to be Live 105-worthy. Dave played HMTMKMKM once or twice, no?
Five times, actually. Which, considering there are only 8 '95 sets in the DB, kinda puts it strongly in the K category.
I dunno, should we wipe the slate clean for Annalisa? No more Katrinas for at least 6 months until she has a chance to establish some patterns?
-
oh yeah! Out of the closet...
-
BOS2 the REAL "I Kissed a Girl".
-
BOS for Jill Sobule kissing a girl (while Leaving Las Vegas?)
-
Jill Sobule only appeared once before in a '95 set.
I think Annalisa was kissing girls back then.
-
A Bond theme song needs some bombast and a hook. this def fits. BOS
er, that was Batman not Bond, dude.
-
Kind of ironic for Annalisa to be playing I Kissed A Girl, eh?
-
BOS to Folk Implosion, "Natural One," one of the more improbable Top 40 hits of the decade. Perfect for the equally dark film Kids.
"There's no telling what we'll do when we're free / So you may as well crash with me."

wow -- shows how little attention I pay to '90s sets! But agreed on the Katrina clean(a) slate.
Another Live 105 biggie: "Natural One".
-
Kind of ironic for Annalisa to be playing I Kissed A Girl, eh?
Why? I suspect I'm missing some important datum here.
HM for Folk Implosion. Definitely a different flavored sort of set.
-
"I Know" this was a major Dave Katrina. Never even heard the follow-up single to this at the time, assuming there was one - it surprised me that she completely disappeared after a Top 10 crossover hit like this.
-
classic OHW: "I Know". One that KFOG actually was playing HEAVILY.
-

She got married last year to a guy, but was playign for the other team as far as we knew the whole time before that. Alicat even asked her face to face about it, and Annalisa seemed as surprised as anyone that she wound up married to a guy.
-

I, er, know that she did a nice cover of the Beatles' "Blackbird".
-

Per a conversation Mshray had with Irish Greg, Annalisa used to bat for the other team, to borrow a Seinfeld-ism. However, in the interview she did with Ben Fong-Torres, she revealed she's recently gotten married, (or at least engaged), to a guy.
-

oh snap!
well, if I were gonna get U2 to record a Bond theme song, it'd be this. :)

not just a Katrina...up till today there have only been TWO sets from 1995 that DIDN'T include this song.
I have this CD, and can't recall that there's anythign else really as good on it.
-
Here's one I haven't heard much at all since probably 97 or 98. But that doesn't earn it any BOS cred. File with the Foo Fighters under Live 105 staple.
-
Some pretty good loudness from Pearl Jam, and a less-played track for sure.
-
At this rate, all that's missing are Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, and Soundgarden. Maybe Alice in Chains too.
But I would have rather gone in the direction of "As I Lay Me Down" and "The House of Stone and Light." Anyone else remember Martin Page?
-
BOS "Corduroy". This was a great record if you were into PJ, but the clear beginning of their disregard for making themselves radio friendly ever again.
(the fluke #2 hit from a fan club record notwithstanding)
-
I suppose Will Ferrell was inevitable given the teaser.

Indeed this is very KFOG/Live 105-oriented; some pop would work -- but "Buddy Holly" is from '94, AL.
-
BOS for Weezer. Most representative of what I was listening to at the time on KOME.
-
Buddy Holly makes his '95 debut. I think Dave always played this in '94. Probably the closest to a BOS I'll get unless she plays one of the three bands I mentioned earlier.
-

Not sure I'd agree entirely - I thought they were aiming for a hit with "Who You Are."
PS: I just checked Billboard: they charted 6 (!) singles before "Last Kiss"! I don't remember "Tremor Christ," "I Got Id," "Long Road," or "Given to Fly," but I do dig "Who You Are" and "Better Man."
-
WOS to Deep Blue Something and the Worst. Refrain. Lyric. Ever.
-
aaack! Deep Blue Nothing.
-
-- but "Buddy Holly" is from '94, AL.
and it was a major Katrina in that year for Dave, showing up more than half the time. Stilllove the song & the whole album anyway. Maybe next time she can play "My Name Is Jonas".
-
And WOS for ubiquitous Clear Blue Something. Or whatever the hell they're called.
-
Unparalleled WOS for Breakfast at Tiffany's--this is certainly one of the dumber songs ever written.
-
i was hoping for some smashin' punkins -- 1979 would be good.
who is this? sounds a little like Toad...

Wow, I had no clue they'd charted that much either. I retract my comment.

Did this song truly overlap into '95 or is this a blatant error?
Something like TLC's "Waterfalls" or maybe some Montell Jordan would really balance things.
-

I think that's what they were aiming for. I never realized this would get such unequivocal condemnation from the board. I was just gonna go with a "Meh".
-
BOS2 The Usual Suspects
and BOS3 James McMurtry!
-
BOS2 The Usual Suspects

Phew, a great improvement from the last one. McMurtry should rule on 10at10.

It probably lapped over--per Whitburn it first charted in mid-December of '94 and stayed for 13 weeks, so it hung on plenty long enough to chart in 95.
BOS2 to James McMurtry, Where'd You Hide the Body?

Apparently it did. Album came out by summer of 1994, but according to Billboard:
1995 Buddy Holly - Mainstream Rock Tracks #34
1995 Buddy Holly - Top 40 Mainstream #17
-

Pleasant jangly production, nice vocal syncopation hooks, generally pleasant as long as you don't pay attention to the lyrics. Kind of like chewing gum, good flavor, but not real food. Meh.
-
BOS2 to Elastica, "Connection."
-
Holy crap, Elastica blows 'em all away! BOS for "Connection".
-
another BOS to
Wire Elastica!
-
BOS4 Elastica, "Connection".
-
BOS2 to Elastica, "Connection."
Def. agree. Alt rock radio ear candy from '95. Come to think of it, 95 wasn't a bad year for rock radio.
-
BOS #4 Connection. I listened to this a lot in 1995.
-
another BOS to Wire!
Oh snap, yourself!!
-
BOS #4 Connection. I listened to this a lot in 1995.
I bought it.
-
wonder where they got "computer-voice guy" -- he sounds like Conky from Pee-Wee's Playhouse. That "game-over" thing seems lame to me. and the hyper-announcer guy: Yuck.
-
Closing with "A connection is made": meta optimism on Annalisa's part?
-

That was just weird, and not clever. What did she say about "Katy not making it up" in the backsell for "I Kissed a Girl"?
But on the whole, entirely presentable. I enjoyed it, I gotta say. Which was always questionable for sets in this era.
-
I wonder how the bonus track thing will go now that Annalisa is doing both.
-

Oh you old guys. Katy = Katy Perry. Google it and then come back to discuss.

that was Jill Sobule, not Katy Perry. ;)
Well, not bad for a first time, but like Dave's '90s sets, a dearth of pop and R&B.

she said "I gave you Jill Sobule's I Kissed a Girl. Katy what's-her-name didn't make it up, you know."
-

Pop chanteuse of the moment Katy Perry had a hit recently called I Kissed A Girl--but I've never heard it so not sure if it's the same song. (Guessing not.)
-
Did you guys catch the KFOG "button" or whatever the fuck they call it when they annoyingly drop a KFOG sounder on top of the intro to a song? They slapped it onto the opening jangliness of "Breakfast at Tiffanys". It annoys the crap out of me when they do it during regular hours, but 10@10 *used* to be free of them. Guess they really want to brand the crap out of this sucker now that Dave isn't around to veto that shit. Annoying.
-
Also weird -- background music (I think it's called a "bed") behind Annalisa as she did the rundown. Ugh. I know it's her trademark, as she uses similar music during the bonus track, or my 3 songs. (I guess she apparently doesn't feel as comfortable with just her voice alone, or comes from the school of radio-must-have-lots-of-crap-going-on-in-the-background-for-it-to-be-good.) I was definitely missing Dave during that part. When a 10@10 was over, it was like sitting down with a really good friend and having a great chat. *SIIIIGH*.
-
The song directly following the set was that Dave Matthews song that's getting heavy play right now, but following that was Lennon's Starting Over. Perhaps a little subtext there for the fogheads?
-
BTW, I actually like Katy Perry, and not just she's the new young hawt thang. Supposedly before she turned into a pop-sensation (and same-sex kissing controversy starter, but uh, seriously, 1995 anyone?) she was doing the singer-songwriter thing quite credibly:
http://laist.com/2009/01/15/holly_conlan_meiko_katy_perry.php
Anywho, some interesting backstory about her Christian upbringing and whatnot, which is well, interesting to me as a lapsed Evangelical:
http://blog.beliefnet.com/gospelsoundcheck/2008/06/katy-perry-christian-recording.html
Oh, speaking of 1995 girl-kissing -- has anybody checked out the new Jill Sobule CD? The buzz on NPR and elsewhere is about how amazing it is that she fan-financed the whole thing, offering anything from t-shirts or some tchotckes to actually a getting to sing backing vocals in exchange for donations/investments. (Well, it's not an investment because they don't get anything on the back-end.)
Anywho, that's all fine and well, along with Trent Reznor, Wilco and other already established bands just giving away their music. But they had the help of the now *evil* labels to get established, so it's never really rung true.
On the other hand, Jonathan Coulton is the man. Again, Google and discuss.
No wait, I love the man so much I'll give you some links to some videos I shot two years back. He's geek rock, through and through, and because of that, he's been able to make a living without any label. Totally DIY, totally Internet, and to top it off, he writes songs about geeky stuff (a giant squid?) that actually speak to everyone (well, some of us):
Big Internet Hit, "Code Monkey":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Icj2O_isQv0
"Tom Cruise Crazy" (self-explanatory):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y651XvX6VkM
Aforementioned Giant Squid song, "I Crush Everything":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc07lpuc3p0
Obligatory white-boy cover of rap song "Baby Got Back" (which really put him on the map):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wg_37QYL-94
Lastly two of my favorites, a heartfelt song about George Plimpton (no really) "A Talk With George":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf_x-80gJ6Q
And a love song about lost love, in the future. "The Future Soon":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4SGACSLdRY
Ahhhh.

I heard Rosalie using a background-music-bed over the weekend too. It's very much a consultant-mandated idea. It supposedly tricks the typical station-flipping listener (in cars especially) into stopping to listen because they hear music rather than just talking.
-
Hey, anyone heard from the Princess recently? Don't think she's checked in here in a couple weeks--she may be surprised to learn the latest developments.

Was this during morning sunrise/sunset? Seems like she's got a little more autonomy then.
Again, I love those shows because 1) I'm a sucker for acoustic folk/pop, especially covers of typically non-acoustic songs, and 2) because again, listening to Rosalie between songs is like listening to a good friend. To boot, she's done some wonderful shout-outs (http://10at10club.com/forum/index.php?topic=5893.msg102665#msg102665) to my son's on the occasions of their births and first birthdays.

actually it was Saturday morning around 11:30; she was doing a regular shift.

good post! Seattle's alt-weekly The Stranger had a similar take a couple months after you:
http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Content?oid=675052
Katy's not "lesbian until graduation," she's "lesbian until the cameras are off."
-
Btw, I assume you all caught Annalisa say tomorrow we'd be going "way way back." It will be telling to find out what constitutes "way way back" in the new world order.
Hoping for 1965. Afraid she meant 1978.
-
No set-list posted as of 12:30, but TANC, Austin "Bob" did '95 today too...
http://10at10club.com/forum/index.php?topic=5923.0
at least Annalisa spared us Alanis.

Not to mention Bryan and Mariah. I'd take Annalisa's set over that one in a heartbeat.

I didn't notice the bed today, but I've heard it used well in some cases (for instance, the use of Kraftwerk's Autobahn during traffic reports on the Morning show. And Annalisa's use of the My Three Sons theme music for her My Three Songs contests is inspired,) Then again, if it's part of the corporate cookie cutter radio mandate thing, I'd like to see it dumped, just because! *gives power fist salute*
-
Annalisa's use of the My Three Sons theme music for her My Three Songs contests is inspired
of course, Dave thought that up originally, when M3S was a daily (9am) Morning Show feature. I'm surprised it's still used, actually, since no probably one in KFOG's target demo has actually *seen* an episode of My Three Sons

did you see the M3Sons eps on KOFY TV-20 the other week? I caught the last two, and they were both concerned with past, memories, moving on in time, etc. very appropriate for a night of old-timey nostalgia tv.
In one, Steve takes the boys back to his childhood neighborhood and looks up old friends/flames. His old flame is in a dysfunctional marriage, she yells at her kids, threatens to hit them, yikes! tough stuff for the late 60s!
In the other, the family moves to LA b/c Steve has a new job. The miss their old house, their old small town, their friends. Uncle Charlie goes grocery shopping, is put off by the cashier's gruff impersonal treatment. so he pretty much goes ape-shit, yells at her specifically and all of LA in general as he pays and leaves.
man, LA is tough, but Uncle Charley needs to get laid.

Ya know, I'd always thought that M. Dung first came up with that, even before Dave was on the morning show. I know he had a version where he said "songs" over the original audio of Fred MacMurray saying "sons".

another BOS to Wire Elastica!
ha, Mike! I meant to say Wire :)
their song Three Girl Rhumba contains the riff that inspired Elastica

Annalisa's use of the My Three Sons theme music for her My Three Songs contests is inspired
of course, Dave thought that up originally, when M3S was a daily (9am) Morning Show feature. I'm surprised it's still used, actually, since no probably one in KFOG's target demo has actually *seen* an episode of My Three Sons

Ya know, I'd always thought that M. Dung first came up with that, even before Dave was on the morning show. I know he had a version where he said "songs" over the original audio of Fred MacMurray saying "sons".
Well, you go further back with KFOG than I do, so I assume you're right. Though I started listening to 10@10 in late '92, I didin't switch to the KFOG Morning Show until '98 or so -- after Live 105 brought in Stern (I'd listened to Alex Bennett and his replacement Johnny Steele, but had no use for Stern).

Really? I always think of them targeting the olds (40-50) with all the Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Bonnie Raitt and Eric Clapton.

Also weird -- background music (I think it's called a "bed") behind Annalisa as she did the rundown. Ugh. I know it's her trademark, as she uses similar music during the bonus track, or my 3 songs. (I guess she apparently doesn't feel as comfortable with just her voice alone, or comes from the school of radio-must-have-lots-of-crap-going-on-in-the-background-for-it-to-be-good.) I was definitely missing Dave during that part. When a 10@10 was over, it was like sitting down with a really good friend and having a great chat. *SIIIIGH*.
I heard Rosalie using a background-music-bed over the weekend too. It's very much a consultant-mandated idea. It supposedly tricks the typical station-flipping listener (in cars especially) into stopping to listen because they hear music rather than just talking.
I didn't notice the bed today, but I've heard it used well in some cases (for instance, the use of Kraftwerk's Autobahn during traffic reports on the Morning show. And Annalisa's use of the My Three Sons theme music for her My Three Songs contests is inspired,) Then again, if it's part of the corporate cookie cutter radio mandate thing, I'd like to see it dumped, just because! *gives power fist salute*
You're right that "beds" are not bad per se, and oftentimes the morning show gets it right. (Best example of this -- my favorite band (along w/ Peter Finch), Barenaked Ladies were doing an in-studio appearance. Renee did the traffic with them playing live accompaniment. I recognized the tune, but they were goofing with the lyrics. After she mentioned some "slow stuff" in Martinez, I believe their drummer Tyler started singing "Slooooow stuffff", causing Renee to barely keep it together to finish. Later listening to my recording of the appearance, I realized what the song was -> Bruce Cockburn's "Last Night Of The World" which includes the line: "the radio's playing Superchunk and the friends of Dean Martinez".
Brilliant. TANC indeed.

if they were local, they would have changed that line to ".. the friends of Bridge Carquinez." :P

They are def one of the oldest-skewing Triple-A's in the country, but you don't sell ad time by targeting folks my age as your prime demo. So the "currents" they play are all Coldplay, Snow Patrol, DCFC, DMB, and general Mraz-tastic Feist-y-ness. And I'm sure Cumulus has been on their case to "go younger".
Funny, we talked recently about how they should pay attention to Little Steven's "coolest song of the week" picks; and I noticed that The Peak is playing a recent one, the NY Dolls' new track ("Because I Said So" -- produced by Todd Rundgren), but KFOG is ignoring it so far. I'm not aware of KFOG playing the new Green Day to any great extent either.

I guess it's safe to say that the return of live 10@10's has spurred some activity!

Smirk. Here's the segment:

And oh cool, partial video of the same as part of the larger "Day In The Life Of The Morning Show". Sniff, made me sad to see Dave at work an hour earlier than the rest working on 10@10. (And hilarious to see him yell at Greg.)

Correction: Traffic report was brought to you by the Martinez Chamber of Commerce. Slow stuff was down in San Jose.
