Post by: RGMike on August 07, 2006, 10:45:34 AM
Talk about soothing balm after an awful set: switched to KPOO and I'm hearing Al Green's version of "For The Good Times". Oh my.

ETA: followed by Otis, "I've Been Loving You Too Long" *swoon*

Just tuned in about 20 minutes ago, and I'm getting the usual buffering issues. Mike, do you usually have this problem or are you getting a more consistent stream? (And if it's the latter, do you have a secret?) I'd love to listen to KPOO most Mondays, but it's a constant test of my patience.

I find that it comes & goes -- sometimes the buffering is VERY annoying and sometimes there are long stretches with no buffering at all.  I'm in a buffering cycle as we speak. Some days are better than others, but they really do need to work on it.

this Monday morning woman sure does love her "risque" blues records. "Roll With Me Henry", "Big 10-inch Record" (pre-Aerosmith), etc.

Yep, she usually loads the last hour of her set with all sorts of "jelly-roll" blues. Today I particularly dug (between buffering breaks) the original version of "It Ain't The Meat, It's the Motion" which Maria Muldaur revived in the 70s, on her Waitress in a Donut Shop album.

I'm thinking the streaming issues may simply have to do with the number of streams their server is attempting to feed. My streaming problems diminished markedly just after noon, when one would assume people sign off and go to lunch. I can't imagine that Judge's audience would be any smaller than what's-her-name's.

Btw, I also get a laugh out of the fact that she prefers to be anonymous on-air--I've never heard her or anyone--refer to her by name, although the KPOO site reveals her name to be Marilynn Fowler.

Isaac Hayes, pre-Scientology, "The Feeling Keeps on Coming", from Joy... not that far removed from the parodic, I-wanna-make-love-to-yo'-womanly-body stuff he did on South Park.

Heard the orig. Love version on the Morning show this am, after their Death, Cab, or Cutie contest. Arthur Lee was the answer of the "death" question--of course, the foghead punted it, had no clue. But they played Alone Again Or right afterward, even before a DCFC song, which was the show they were promoting.

Yeah, it was kind of bittersweet.  The DCFC fan had no idea who Arthur Lee was, but it was at least nice to hear the song, even if it's actually a Bryan MacLean song.  I was fantasizing that he'd play the version from the live album Gaz reviewed, which is so emotional.

Just tuned in to BCO for a bit, just to see how far along they were (they're in the H's) and happened to hear a live version of the Beat Farmers doing Happy Boy. And before that was Willie Nelson. Which really has me wondering just what kinds of stuff they have in their archives. Sounds like they've really got a trove of stuff there.

I didn't know (until Little Steven mentioned it Sunday) that the orig lyric of "Tutti Frutti" was "tutti frutti/good booty" LOL!

and speaking of loose lips, CG plays Georgie M, "A Different Corner":

"little by little, you brought me to my kneees..."

Perhaps Messrs Michael & Penniman could do a duet: "30 Days in Your Hole".

I think that's quite up for grabs.  Not being a drummer, I don't know how qualified I am to judge.  Bonham was great at what he did, but was also quite ham-fisted.  Cream's "Toad" was an earlier famous drum solo song.

I think it would be fun to list famous drum solos.  Is it a solo, it there's 2 drummers?  (GD, ABB)

Famous drum solos I can pretty much live without:
Iron Butterfly, "In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida"
Beatles, "The End"
Rush, "80% Of Our Catalog"

My favorite drum solo isn't a famous one: Whoever's playing on Curtis Mayfield's "Move On Up."  My favorite drummer, John Barbata, never really did solos in his Turtles/CSN/Jefferson Starship work.

Barbata actually had a pretty big drum solo in the early JS era.  The first time I saw it, it was monumentally mind-blowing.  The next time...

Indeed.  And you really MUST seek out Norma Fraser's competing reggae version, dating to '67 or '68.  My friend Jagger put it on a mix for me at Christmastime and I fell in love with it.  Vocally she's similar to Arnold, but the arrangement is different.
