Good luck, bad luck, you name it! (And many people have)
-
And since we just had a "guilty pleasures" set two weeks ago, that pretty much fulfills the Hits From Hell/Turkeys quota for the year. Any bets as to whether we get Tax Day or Earth Day sets next week? I'm taking the negative on both.

I'd say 15% chance on Earth Day and 10% on Tax Day. The latter is spent in my opinion, so no big loss.
I'll go ahead and venture that the next themed set will be Mothers Day.

Earth day is a Sunday so It could be our Friday set. Tax Day is Tuesday (delayed this year) but Tues is that commercial-free "44 cents can save a child" thingy so sadly I'll bet against a "Money" set -- one of my favorite theme sets, actually.

Pardon me for apparently being out of the loop, but huh?

KFOG has been running spots for weeks about World Concern, a charity whose pitch is that 44 cents can cure an impoverished 3rd World child of life-threatening parasites.
http://www.worldconcern.org/44cents/
the station is going commercial-free on Tues to raise money for this outfit. They're a "Christian" group (part of CRISTA Ministries), which certainly gives me pause.

Elvis to start. BOS for cheeziness' sake.

BOS!
Hit-and-run post from me - we've had a CRAZY busy week putting out both our regular weekly issue and the upcoming TIME 100 issue in a condensed time frame. Ugh.
Hope you've all been well! I'm on vacation for two weeks after today and hope to be more of a presence here!

LN: Macca. also "Wimpiest of Set", probably.
"rocketing skyward", "comet exploding" -- Paul needs luck to have an orgasm? Well, at his age...
-
Yes yes, I know, just another one of his silly love songs... But I still like it. :-)
-
I came in late figuring this would be hits from hell - and thought it was with Wings
-
Lucky Strike commercial... isn't that technically illegal?
Yep, apparently since 1971.

"so round... so firm... so fully packed" they were talking about CIGARETTES?
For SHAME: a re-recorded (non-Teddy P) version of "Bad Luck". WOS.

HFHs retired when Dave Morey did.

VHM ELP.
-
BOS but obvious: Lucky Man... waiting for the synth solo that launched the 80's
Polyphony? Who needs it? Moog forever.
-
It is a Lucky Man who never tires of "Lucky Man." VHM. ;)
-
BOS ELP ... always good to hear them...
-
Good lord, there are actually people who think Harold Melvin was singing lead on all the Bluenotes' hits? Shoot me now. (FB will be the death of me)
-
Well, there's your Madge.
-
HM to Madonna before she became Scary Grandmadonna.
-
Oh. My. GAWD!!! Madonna!!! AL gives in and plays Ms. Ciccone at last.
-
Well, there's your Madge.
In her prime...
-
HM to Madonna and her navel.
-
BOS 2, "Born Under a Bad Sign"
-
BOS3 Madge; BOS4 Cream.
-
BOS5 Lene Lovich! uh-oo-ee-oo!
-
uber-duber-BOS6 the Chairman of the Board. can't remember the last time I got TWO requests in one set.
-
Nice set today, plus a nice Mraz/Callait bonus...
-
This was the least-painful theme set in recent history, and mostly enjoyable.
Most painful: baseball/SF set when Giants won the series. It was the aural equivalent of Fisherman's Wharf on a July Saturday.
-

File Colbie Callait under the category "Reasons to be happy I'm alive today".
-
enjoyed the set, but I think at this point we've heard every single bit of dialogue from the movie Moonstruck. AL sure loves her some Cher, I'm thinking.

I assume that's a comment on her looks rather than her Feistalike vocals. Ugh. And don't get me started on Mrazzzz.

which is why I keep requesting "Believe" every time we hit 1999.

Bwahahaha! It sure was.
But I've found AL's theme sets lately to be some of her most creative.

I thought that was a delightful set today and was glad AL stuck to the "luck" theme specifically -- even tho' it's what she asked for, a bunch of unclear-on-the-concept Fogheads started asking for songs about superstition, which is a different thing, to be pedantic about it (who? me?).
Besides, if she had said "superstition songs" I'd've gotten in another request for Janet Jackson's "Black Cat" ;)
-
For SHAME: a re-recorded (non-Teddy P) version of "Bad Luck". WOS.
listening to the replay and I'm still gobsmacked that AL played a re-recorded version of "Bad Luck" -- shouldn't KFOG have the original in their library? What would Dave Morey think?
Even more disconcerting was that nobody on FB had the faintest idea what I was talking about.

When I play golf, I usually have a semi-internal soundtrack going (it annoys people when I start singing on the golf course, but it happens :). As I was on the way to the course yesterday, flippin' through the pre-sets, Gotye's "Somebody I Used to Know" began and I instantly pushed another button, not so much because I'm sick of it, but more because I DID NOT WANT THAT STUCK IN MY HEAD for that round of golf. But this is an aside...
Today, playing my second round of the weekend, about half way through the round I got onto "With A Little Luck", out of the blue. There is no way I would have gotten on to that if I hadn't heard it in Friday's set. So, it may not have been the best or the most necessary of set, but you have to give Sir Paul his due on writing memorable and catchy tunes...
