KBCO is now all Enya all the time--or so you'd think during the 9am hour this morning. I tuned in just in time to hear some Enya tune I'd never heard before (which was followed, blissfully, by Ronnie Wood crooning Ooh La La with the Faces) and now, less than 20 minutes later, we hear Orinoco Flow.
Yeah, they're in the Os now. So it appears this will go on for several more days.

That's bizarre -- I know "A-to-Z" is about dusting off the little-played CDs in the library, but really, how often does anything other than "Orinoco" show up on ANY Triple-A station anywhere? (And more to the point: why would anyone WANT it to?)
But I'm impressed that they're only up to "O". I hate that "editing A-to-Z so that it conveniently lasts exactly a week" thing that KFOG has pulled on occasion.

Don't recall if it was Mike or who that mentioned hearing Traffic's psychedelic pop gem Paper Sun recently, but BCO just dropped it on us again--and it seemed to be a longer version than I recall hearing. Great song--def. deserving of more play!
And now we're on to Paperback Writer...
I could easily see them taking the rest of the week with this--just S and T should take about a day apiece. Once they're done with those it should go pretty quickly, if I recall how other A-Zs tend to run.

you might as well stay put, as KPOO's player is not working at all today -- no Judge for me. :cry:

Not that I don't believe you, but I decided to give KPOO a go anyway, and it came up for me. (Of course, it buffered after about 30 seconds, but it's been fine since then [crossing fingers].

Well, that's good news! I'll switch from KCDX as soon as It's A Beautiful Day's "Girl With No Eyes" finishes -- it's new to me, and quite lovely.
ETA: wait -- one more, Neil Diamond's "I Got the Feelin'".
ETA2: well, you're a lucky man today, urth -- I can't get anything from the KPOO jukebox. And I tried pasting the url into my browser and got "page not found" :cry:
-
So I stuck with KCDX, and am rewarded with late-period Suzi Quatro, "If You Can't Give Me Love".

Bummer--perhaps a vestige of the network issues you had earlier this month, or have you been able to tune in KPOO prior to this?
Anyway, glad you were able to find something acceptable to fill in.

Yeah, our "issues" were resolved, and I listened to KPOO several times here last week.
But this is odd: The KPOO player now has an empty black box underneath the picture of the old-timey radio. When I put the cursor over the box, the cursor-info-box says "click to activate and use this control" (this was never there before) and so I clicked and the only thing that happened was the cursor "hand" turned back into an arrow.
-
Mott the Hoople's version of "Sweet Jane", which I haven't heard in ages. It was actually the preferred version on NYC FM radio back in the day.
-
OMG! 3DN's "Show Must Go On". Wonder if they'll re-release Leo Sayer's version (in the UK at least) after his "Big Brother" infamy.
-
KBCO is up to the "R" section -- songs that start with "Rock". I'm guessing we may get Ginger's 10@10 as early as Thursday (unless maybe they lumped all the "the" songs together).

They just went from Roxanne to Ruby Tuesday (what, no Rubberband Man?), so I imagine they'll be on to S soon, which I think will probably take the rest of the day, or nearly so.

The former would be "Only Time," i.e., "the song that played in the background of way too many news montages in the months after 9/11." I heard it several times a day then, haven't heard it since.

Oh yes -- thank you, I do remember that one.
Meanwhile, I'm VIP-ing today and just heard Charles Wright/Watts 103rd St Rhythm Band, "Loveland", followed by the Chi-lites, "Letter to Myself".

KBCO A-Z update:
As of 9:20 am Wednesday, they're still in the S's. Just heard Karla Bonoff's version of Someone To Lay Down Beside Me, and now it's the Beatles (yay), Something.

Hrm. Do they go 24/7 with this or (like KFOG) is it a 6a - 10p thang?
I see they played that other New Radicals song, "Someday We'll Know", which barely registered on KFOG when it was out.
-
'CDX pulls out Grand Funk Railroad's "Walk Like A Man" (NOT the 4 Seasons song), one of their better macho-posturing anthems. "I'm gonna strut like a cock until I'm 99!"

Been wondering that myself. I can't seem to tell from anything on their web site--it lists only the last 10 songs. And at the moment, it seems to be stuck on Karla Bonoff--no mention of the Beatles, Bonnie Raitt, U2, or Robbie Robertson, or anything else since about 9:25.
I'm tempted to e-mail Ginger and ask when they expect to wrap this up--anyone got her e-mail? If so, ping me offline--don't want to put her at risk of getting harvested by a 'bot.

it's on the website: click on "staff" and you'll get to it eventually (it's a message box that opens up with a menu to select who yer e-mailing).

I see 'BCO is up to the "That" songs... guess this will go at least another 24 hours? Makes sense for them to measure it out that way, with 10@10 coming back on Monday.
-
Just tuned in to 'CDX in time to hear Linda Ronstadt's "How Do I Make You?" which I haven't heard on the radio since it was a hit.
-
ooo! "Life is a Rock" always brightens my day. Mushroom omelet, Bonnie Bramlett!
-
back to 'CDX: George sez "Wah Wah", Donovan looks thru crystal speck-tikkles.
-
Holy s--t! Gary Numan - "Are 'Friends' Electric?"
-
Mmmm... Fresh garbage!
Followed by 3DN's Best. Single. EVER. (IMHO), "Black & White".
and Mr Joel with his Uptown Girl -- does Ms Brinkley cringe when she hears this now?
"uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man"
I swear I never realized he was saying "...hot blood can" until today. I thought it was "hop a train" or something.

Ha! I heard "as long as anyone would pop a chance," which makes no sense, but there you have it.
PS: Is a "downtown man" a guy who'll perform ling-ling? Or just a bad-news cat?

is that anything like "pop that coochie", or whatever thar 2 Live Crew song was?

They finally got thru the T's (and U's, which probably didn't take too long); as of 5:20 they're on to V--the Neville Brothers' Voodoo, to be specific. So they will indeed probably finish sometime tomorrow.
-
Wow, CGSS plays the Temptations version of the Gladys Knight hit "Friendship Train" -- new to me, I wonder which actually came first.

Had a response from Ginger in last night's e-mail. She says as much as she likes A-Z, she's ready to go back to normal programming so she doesn't have to say "alphabetic journey" for awhile.
She also mentioned that she gets more comments on her 10@10s from the SF Bay area than she does from her local listeners. :o Safe to say, we know who's responsible for that!
Btw, they're in the W's now--Wild World, Cat Stevens.

For those craving an old-style ('50s & '60s) AM "oldies" station, this one's new in Monterey:
http://www.komyradio.com/
Their player may take a few tries to get it to work, but so far what I've heard is enjoyable -- "CarrieAnn", "Surfer Joe".
But I'm keeping an eye on KBCO -- I wanna see what "X" songs they play...
-
Impressive KOMY gem: 'erman's 'ermits, "No Milk Today", another of Graham Gouldman's stellar '60s compositions.
"the company was gay
we turned night into day"
and check out this amazing deconstruction of the tune from Stylus:
http://www.stylusmagazine.com/articles/seconds/hermans-hermits-no-milk-today.htm
-
interesting: this KOMY oldies format finds room for "That Thing You Do" by the Wonders -- and it fits in perfectly between the Beatles and the Buckinghams. Clever programming.
-
KBCO closes out the "W" section, quite nicely, with Emmylou Harris "Wrecking Ball".
And the one-and-only "X" song is... "X Marks the Spot" by Ziggy Marley. New to me, and what? no Blondie? no "Xanadu"?
