Anyone able to access the KPOO stream? It seems dead here.

Here too - I'm gettin' nada. And I'm NOT savoring the tranquility! I was looking forward to an afternoon of Judge...

Oddly, KPIG's player isn't working either; for a sec I thought today was "A Day Without Internet Radio" but that was June 26th. I'm 'CDX-ing for the time being.

WLNG just played the early-'60s novelty "Pepino the Italian Mouse" -- I'd never noticed (or had long forgotten) that the singer calls Pepino a "moulignon" -- for those not up on their Italian, "moulignon" means "eggplant", but is more commonly known as an anti-black racial slur in the eye-talian community! Guess that was OK on the radio in 1960.
-
I think it's wunda-fuhl-a-now that WLNG just played Friend and Lover's "Reach Out in the Darkness". Don't be afraid to love!
-
Looks like KPOO's stream is working again -- "Yo' husband is cheatin' on us", Denise Lasalle? Ruth Brown?
-
WLNG Nugget o'the Day" -- Jefferson, "Take Me In Your Arms"

BTW, if anyone wants to hear the big switchover in NYC from "Jack" to the return of Oldies on CBS-FM, this appears to be the link:
http://cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com/?CALLSIGN=WCBSFM
It happens tomorrow (Thurs) 7/12/07 at 10:01am Pacific (that's 1:01 Eastern, har har). Apparently the first song will be "Do it Again" by the Beach Boys, followed by 48 hours of Summer Songs. No word on what the last song on "Jack" will be. "Good Riddance"? "Hit the Road, Jack"?
Gaz, of course, can listen over-the-air -- I'll tune in immediately after Ginger's set, hopefully we can exchange info then to make sure we're both hearing the same feed.

About 45 minutes southeast o' Thibideaux Lou'siana! KPIG plays "Amos Moses", followed by OMD, "If You wanna Get to Heaven".

They're doing a "test run" with their DJs -- Bill Lee (once of KMEL) is on at the moment, using the nom-de-radio "Junior Bunsen, the Bunsen Burner" LOL! It's old-school heaven!
-
Well, so far this CBS-FM test run is pretty fab: first song I heard was "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go", after which Bill Lee said "wow... remember when we actually believed he was STRAIGHT?" ROTFL!
And now Miss Joan Baez is back with her wife in Tennessee.
-
Frankie Valli swears to god, and then after "Just My Imagination", Lee refers -- correctly! -- to the TEMPTING Temptations. (Somebody send a tape of this to Dave, please.) Followed by a vintage Tide commercial circa late '50s/early '60s.
And now in honor of the B'way premiere of Xanadu, it's "Magic" ONJ!
-
Now HERE'S a flashback: Capt & Tenille, "You Never Done It Like That" -- I cannot remember the last time I heard this.
-
Holy crap! here's Aretha's "Share Your Love", one of my fave little-heard Ree-Ree hits. If the on-air version of CBS-FM is half as good as this "test" version, Gaz (and all of the NY Metro) is in for a treat.

Head over to

immediately -- the run-up to the format switch is like the greatest Morey montage ever. Wonderful stuff.
-
CBS-FM is doing a hilariously cheezy-but-clever custom-made parody of "We Didn't Start the Fire" listing the names of artists from the '60s '70s & '80s. Genius!
"Chubby Checker, Zombies
Pet Shop Boys and Three Degrees!"

Yeah, I was enjoying that too. They remembered Toby Beau!
-
And it's our favorite Elvis moment, "Suspicious Minds."
-
The wonderful Bob Shannon, talking up "Philadelphia Freedom": "and now, Elton John lies on his resume." I used to be a Rolling Stone, you know...
Great stuff.
-
TJ, talkin' about that little LAY-dy!
So CBS-FM brings back the old tunes, and the Dow soars 200 points! Coincidence?
-
ooo! Johnny Rivers, "Summer Rain". Groovin' in the sand/Lonely Hearts Club band.
-
First Class, headin' to San Jose with their Beach Baby. Someone tried to vote for this as a HFH this week, and Dave said "er.... NO."
-
"Hi, I'm Rupert Holmes... and if you like Pina Coladas and gettin' caught in the rain, you'll absolutely LOVE the fact that CBS-FM 101.1 is back! And if you don't like Pina Coladas, and you like Margaritas instead... maybe Jimmy Buffet can do this promo."
Actual promo that just aired on CBS-FM -- LOL! And of course they followed it with "The Pina Colada Song" (which we may well hear on HFH tomorrow).

Either that or the Buoys, which seems to have a groundswell of HFH support on DM's blog. Either way, Rupert gets paid.
-
Working late & Deep Tracking, rewarded last hour with a long version of "Thick As A Brick", and right now grooving to the prog rock epic of ELP's "Fanfare for the Common Man".
Woo F***ING Hoo!!!
-
Listened to CBS for part of the day today, and while I'm sure it's better than Jack, I think I'm enjoying the bumpers and the DJs' retro style more than the music itself, which sounds pretty damn close to what I remember hearing in the later days of KFRC. Still, nice to see that the good old stuff is triumphing over these young whippersnapper formats.

Well, yes, you're right, the music is similar, tho' CBS (to my ears) is choosing very well, '80s-wise -- great, upbeat pop singles (they actually played "Let's Hear it For the Boy" this afternoon, which I had used earlier today as an example of what they should be playing). One criticism of CBS-FM before they were Jacked was that they were trying, gingerly, to tiptoe into the '80s but were playing mostly drippy A/C ballads (Whitney, Air Supply, etc). This is the right way to do it, I think. It will never be "the Oldies station" again -- those days are gone, except on Satellite -- but it will be enjoyable, old-school "personality" radio.

CGSS is jumpin' -- Stacy Lattisaw's "Jump to the Beat", followed by ReeRee, "Jump to It". shabba-doodn-doo-dwee-dah!

Gregs doing it up right spinning some disco heat.
I want to hear Sylvester!
Thanks Greg!
I assure you there was chair dancing going on!

And Greg complies -- with a shout-out to Ms. Lyons!

Damn, this Johnny Nash nugget is new to me: "You Got Soul", apparently his follow-up to "Hold Me Tight".
-
Back to CBS-FM for while, and I get the 5-D's "Stoned Soul Picnic". Trains of possum, er, blossoms!
-
The flames are now lickin' Elvis' body again. Lawd have mercy!
Has Little Richard ever done of cover of Burnin' Love? It'd give new meaning to the line "Help me, I'm flaming".

A Google search done out of curiosity suggests no, but it would please me to no end if one of our 10@10 DJs would pepper a 1986 set with Aunt Alice's "Great Gosh A-Mighty."
-
Wow, Judge is sitting in for JJ on KPOO tonite -- that never happens, usually some engineer just plays James Brown CDs for 4 hours. But he just played the Sylvers' "Cotton Candy", their follow-up to "Boogie Fever", which failed to hit the Pop Top 40.
-
And here's one for Gaz: TaMara and the Seen, "Everybody Dance".

The Great Gazoo is dancing with a new determination!

Little Steven is doing a salute to "Yellow Submarine", and in the first set he has played the Monkees' little-heard "Saturday's Child", which was written by... David Gates! I did not know that! And I also did not know that "Hey Bulldog" started out as "Hey Bullfrog".
-
OMGWTFLOL! Little Steven's playing "Do the Freddie"!
