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.

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."

KFOG playlist August 26, 2019

Back in 2016, I began posting KFOG's playlists at the time because the station was heavily promoting an "evolution" after letting go most of its air staff, signaling what seemed like the end of KFOG as listeners knew it. All they ended up doing was dropping most of the '70s and '80s hits from their playlist and adopting a "Music Matters" slogan.

The real "evolution" didn't come until last year when the station dropped its Triple A format in favor of an "alternative" format. Gone were Tom Petty and Ed Sheeran, in were The Offspring and Linkin Park (Hearing bands like these on KFOG always felt so weird.) It was now a full-fledged clone of Live 105 Alt 105.3, complete with several Live 105 alumni serving as DJs, including The Woody Show in the morning.

And now, it was announced that Cumulus would be dropping KFOG for good to simulcast KNBR on its frequency. It's been a long time coming, but KFOG will leave the airwaves on Sept. 6. Until then, I'm going to again try and capture the station in its final weeks.
