TANC: Bob plays the Doors tune I referenced yesterday. And then segs into Jose F's "Light My Fire" -- nicely done, sir! And funny how Elvis' once-forgotten "...Conversation" is now known to twentysomethings everywhere.  A very nice assortment overall.

listening on the replay.  That Polaroid Swinger jingle has been on 3 diff 10@10s recently. BOS1 Elvis.

BOS2 BS&T, pre-DCT.

BOS3 Jose F -- one of the most inspired covers ever.  Rhetta Hughes' soul version of Feliciano's arrangement the following year is worth seeking out.

Thur 2/25/10: 1983

Todd Rundgren - Bang The Drum All Day 
Huey Lewis & the News - The Heart of Rock & Roll 
David Bowie - Modern Love 
Heart - How Can I Refuse 
Robert Plant - Big Log 
Def Leppard - Photograph 
Elton John - I'm Still Standing 
Kinks - Come Dancing 
ZZ Top - Legs 
The Fixx - Saved By Zero

I'm so excited that "I'm Still Standing" gets played by Bob on a semi-regular basis. He knows when to go out (of the playlist), he knows when to stay in.

Fri 2/26/10: 1973

Aerosmith - Dream On 
Pink Floyd - Breathe 
Ringo Starr - You're 16 
Paul McCartney & Wings - Band on the Run 
Bruce Springsteen - For You 
Four Tops - Ain't No Woman 
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Karn Evil #9 
John Denver - Rocky Mountain High

Very tired of hearing "Dream On" in both '73 and '76 sets (and KFOG played it at 6am today). But hooray for the One-Eyed Gott and kudos on playing ELP back-to-back with John Denver.
