Request thread is up. As always, some stellar requests. So far, the LN suggestions have been minimal.

Two 70s sets in a week! Glad that can still happen once in awhile!

indeed -- I think under the old DC rules, 1970 counted as a '60s set.
Well, nice to salute Joni, even if "BYT" is an FF.
-
Some welcome pop from Bobby Bloom -- will it be the Dave Morey fave "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" coda version?
ETA: nope
-
always a fave: "Westbound #9". Blue-eyed soul at its finest. VHM

Flaming Embers! Deacon Jones drinking bathtub gin and checking out Bobby Sue's snoogies. A longtime DaveFave that has become one of mine, too. BOS1.

and another salute to an ailing singer: Mr Greenbaum finds Jeezus. I'd've preferred "Canned Ham", obviously, but whatevs.
I'm thinking the Airplane will make an appearance too.

Anyone else on the sick call list?
This was one I loved as a pre-teen. Couldn't get enough of that fuzz-bass part.

Paul Kantner.

Ah, good call. What did the Airplane put out in '70?
-
Green Giant commercial - "vacuum-packed with almost no water" Heh.
The Velvets turn on the Noo Yawk station and hear that fine fine music

Volunteers was a Nov '69 release but got the bulk of its airplay in '70

Women's Lib --> "Lola" OK, sorry, this one is an unforgivable uber-LN IMHO.

No secret I love the Kinks, but I was not itching to hear Lola for the umpteenth time.
-
Adorn hairspray --> Van the Man "Blue Money" VHM (Very Honorable Morrison) but I'm still waiting for a knock-yer-socks-off BOS
Juice money? Loose money?
-
MTM --> Mary meets Ted --> "Tears of Another LN"

Go bassoon!

Love Story --> Leon Russell "Song For You". default BOS (he had a birthday this week, BTW)

Love Story --> Leon Russell "Song For You". default BOS (he had a birthday this week, BTW)
Aside: Saw "The Wrecking Crew" doc last weekend, in which Leon is featured prominently, both in current-day interviews and photos from back in the day (before he had all the facial hair). Great film -- if you haven't seen it yet, you should. (And this song gets a BOS from me as well.)
-
the 'oo -- OK, I'll give "The Seeker" a BOS2. But we've been spoiled by multiple bustouts this week so I'm a tad disappointed.
ETA: It looks like the Leon Russell mighta been a bustout, amazingly.

Did the stream just suddenly give out?
Never mind. Back again.

Yep, it happened here too. I had to disconnect and reconnect to restore the audio.

Oh, KFOG... only 33, and apparently too old to rock and roll.
I acknowledge that it takes a certain kind of skill to produce set after set of ten
songs that skew heavily towards pop, contain few if any bust-outs, and yet are
largely composed of tracks that have seen relatively few spins. I just wish that
skill wasn't exercised so frequently, particularly on the '60s sets (and I regard
1970 and 1971 as musically more a part of the '60s than the '70s.)
I mean, when Norman Greenbaum's Spirit In the Sky is one of the rockingest
songs of the set...
