Hey, Fogheads, Dred Scott here. Every weeknight at 8 pm, join me for KFOG Connected – a set of songs connected by a theme, topic, person, place, thing, ice cream flavor or crayon color (that is to say, it’s pretty wide open).

Every day, I’ll post that evening’s connection and Fogheads are encouraged to suggest songs they think I should play and why. Don't be afraid to think outside the box. You can suggest topics, too. Best suggestion of the day wins a cool prize (usually concert tickets - live music, yay!)

 

**Tuesday (February 21): in honor of Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday, tonight's connection is FAT

Suggest your favorite fat-related tracks; you could win tickets to see Mat Kearney at Warfield Theater in SF Wednesday night, Feb. 22. 

Email your suggestions here or post them online at KFOG’s Facebook Page.
