Live 105 11 O'Clock Rewind playlist December 9, 2002

Now here's a blast from the past (found via Archive.org).

11 O'Clock Rewind was a show that aired directly after Howard Stern from 2002 to 2003. It was hosted by former Music Director Steve Masters, who had just returned to Live 105. It was basically a playlist of classic alternative songs, and at times it could get pretty adventurous. Eventually, 11 O'Clock Rewind gave way to Rewind@Noon-- hosted by Ally and then-program Director Sean Demery-- which then gave way to '90s at Noon and Resurrection Sunday. Nowadays, I don't think the station is doing any kind of classic alternative specialty show, save for an occasional themed weekend.

Anyway, here's the playlist for December 9, 2002. I'll have more of these later.

1. The Clash- Clampdown

2. Ministry- NWO

3. Everclear- Heroin Girl

4. No Use for a Name- Soulmate

5. Camper van Beethoven- Pictures of Matchstick Men

6. Pulp- Do You Remember the First Time?

7. Soup Dragons- I'm Free

8. Special AKA- Gangsters

9. Nine Inch Nails- Head Like a Hole

10. R.E.M.- It's the End of the World as We Know it (and I Feel Fine)

11. Burning Sensations- Belly of the Whale

12. U2- Desire

13. Adorable- Sunshine Smile

Last day of KFOG September 5, 2019

The final day of KFOG has been an eventful one. They've been broadcasting old shows including rebroadcasts of its famed 10@10 series where they would play 10 songs under a given theme. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to listen to much of it and KFOG's website isn't listing all the songs it played. They're just grouped under the titles 10@10 and "Live from the Archives," which makes it harder to transcribe.

I did, however, manage to catch a 10@10 with songs from 1984, so I can present that in its entirety here:

1. The Cars- Hello Again

2. The Romantics- Talking in Your Sleep

3. Elvis Costello & the Attractions- The Only Flame in Town

4. Pretenders- Back on the Chain Gang

5. INXS- I Send a Message

6. Yes- Leave it

7. Thomas Dolby- Hyperactive!

8. Bananarama- Cruel Summer

9. Kenny Loggins- Footloose

10. Thompson Twins- Doctor! Doctor!

Other highlights from throughout the day:

* The last song before the pre-recorded programs was apparently "Tonight, Tonight" by Smashing Pumpkins at 5:59 a.m., making it the final song from the alternative iteration of KFOG.

* Rebroadcasts of Live @ the Archives with Blues Traveler, Bruce Cockburn, Doobie Brothers, Crowded House, Chris Isaak, Jack Johnson and Boz Scaggs.

* A rebroadcast of Dave Morey's final morning show from 2008 that featured Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and Robert John's "Sad Eyes."

* An instrumental-themed 10@10 that featured the Mar-Keys' "Last Night" and Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross" among other songs.

* The Toyes' "Smoke Two Joints" played at 5 p.m., as had been tradition for years.

* A live performance of "Dark Star" by Crosby, Stills and Nash.

* A "Friday Freakout"-themed 10@10 featuring Amboy Dukes' "Journey to the Center of the Mind" and the Electric Prunes' "I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night," among other songs.

* A live performance of "Rock Me Baby" by B.B. King and Jeff Beck.

* A re-broadcast of an M. Dung show that featured such oldies as Sha Na Na's cover of "Purple People Eater," Elvis Presley's "All Shook Up," Marvin Gaye's "I Heard it Through the Grapevine," and the Beach Boys' "Surfin' USA," among other songs.

* A movie-themed 10@10 featuring Cat Stevens' "If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out," Gary Jules' "Mad World" and Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life," among other songs. (They also played a clip of Lola Beverly interviewing Bugs Bunny from the cartoon "A Hare Grows in Manhattan.")

* A Soul Patrol-themed 10 @ 10, featuring Al Green's "Still in Love with You," The O'Jays' "Love Train," Isaac Hayes' "Theme from Shaft" and Tower of Power's "So Very Hard to Go."

* A "Day of Doom" 10@10 from June 6, 2006 with Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows," Grand Buffet's "Cool as Hell," The Crazy World of Arthur Brown's "Fire," Pink Floyd's "Run Like Hell," The Grateful Dead's "Friend of the Devil," Mitch Ryder's "Devil with the Blue Dress On," and more.

* The last song it played was The Grateful Dead's "Brokedown Palace." Peter Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill" was also played pretty late.

KFOG playlist September 4, 2019

Sorry to have missed yesterday. It was kind of a busy day for me, but this is one I can't miss. Today was KFOG's last day with DJs, and they have been commemorating it with a day of the biggest alternative songs ever (with some appropriate surprises) and no repeats. No Name even closed out his set with an hour of his favorite Green Day songs (including their cover of "Tired of Waiting for You" which was a nice touch.) No Name has even frequently referred to the day as "a funeral for KFOG."
