So sez Dave's IM status. He's taking requests--anyone want me to ask for anything out of the ordinary?

Duly requested. Dave said he'd put it on the list.

Thanks!  if he plays it it'll be a breakout -- I've requested it a number of times w/out success.  One of 2 I always request; the other being "Sylvia" by Focus, but he'd have to go digging thru his vinyl for that one, I think.

Well I called up and requested Hoedown or Fanfare for the Common Man by ELP ... Dave sounded like he might play Hoedown -- he said it might be too "weird" for most listeners but (quote) "screw them".     :D

Hmmm, leading off with a different TV show theme. Sorry, man, this does not bode well.

Nice wah-wah, though.

Davey Allan (sp?) and the Arrows

wasn't this from the same movie Cream's "Anyone for Tennis?" was in?

And Jeff Beck, from Blow by Blow. "Cause We've Ended as Lovers"?

The Fender Rhodes pans nicely between channels, I just noticed.

Kind of a Katrina for Strictly Instrumentals, but it's also my favorite instrumental of all time, so it's fine by me.

BOS.

"Hoedown" was an AOR staple back in the day -- "too weird"? I think not.

But Dave must really get nasty shit from some of the more vocal Fogheads who hate anything that isn't straight-ahead rock. He anticipates their angry calls anytime he's thinking about being adventurous.

Just as I'm sure he anticipates our raking him over the coals for sticking to close to previously visited territory any time he mails one in (like last Monday).

It seems like a crime to complain about Slaughter on 10th Avenue, but we hear it damn near every SI set these days (which themselves have been more plentiful in the last year or so).

I remember one time, gotta be 10 years ago now, Dave did a Soul Patrol one morning and apparently some nasty (racist?) guy called him up and said "Soul Patrol SUCKS!" and Dave came on at the end of the set, obviously a bit shaken up, talking about how he had tried to engage this guy in intelligent discourse ("So... why does it suck?") to no avail.  I guess if I'd dealt with enough people like that (and he's been doing 10@10 for 25 years!) I'd be gun-shy too.

OK, how many of these have actually been requests, and how many are in Dave's "Instant 'Strictly Instrumental' Set" kit?  I feel some "Classical gas" coming on...

Was thinking this might be Pat M.--thanks for confirming. He's done a few tunes with this "train-rollin'-down-the-track" sort of 2/4 rhythm.

ETA: My last year of college he played in our gym right after As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls came out--a lousy title, but an amazing record. First time I'd ever heard a synclavier live. And then a friend and I interviewed him after the show--the most normal, accessible, down to earth guy you could ever want to meet. Some of his work since has been kind of bland, but thanks to that night, the guy is aces in my book. (And another Missourian, Mshray--he's from Lee's Summit.)

I think a lot of people get their ideas from Dave, so it's a circular thing.  I heard Classical Gas last time on SI, and liked it, so I'm requesting it again....

Yeah yeah, what you really mean is you have no life from 10am - 10:40.

By the way, this was just a gratuitous post in order to bump up my quantity.   :)

Highly doubt it.  There's not really a Rock or Adult Top 40 station in NYC anymore; nearly everything is either rap/hip-hop, Spanish/Latino, or college format.  Only way I'll hear Train is if I listen online.

Well, god knows I'm not gonna feel sorry for Train, but I figured Z-100 played its share of crossover singles, and I assumed a new Train single would be an instant-add at CHR.  Live'n'learn.

I played "Last Night" at the beginning of my 9th grade science class, and started dancing.  They kinda dug it, but the air came out of the room when Zappa (I love PIR) came on.

2/17/06 - FRIDAY!  Today we are...Strictly Instrumental!!!

Rhythm Heritage - Theme From S.W.A.T.
Davie Allan & the Arrows - Blues Theme (Redux)
Jeff Beck - 'Cause We've Ended As Lovers
Booker T & the MG's - Time is Tight
Art of Noise - Close to the Edit
Mick Ronson - Slaughter on 10th Avenue
Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover
Markeys - Last Night
Zappa - Peaches En Regalia (BEST OF SET!!)
Pat Metheny - Last Train Home
BONUS TRACK:  Sonny Landreth - Son of Native Stepson

Z-100 only plays crossovers of a certain age range (think Fall Out Boy).  Train are too over-the-hill for the NYC radio demographic.

I'm proud of myself: I recognized the Art of Noise song as such even though I don't think I've heard it but once since the video was an MTV staple in 198-whatever.  BOS for novelty alone.

I didn't make any requests but if I had it would've been "Water Song," just 'cause I could stand to hear something that coolly relaxing.

"Tricky Dick, stop yo' shit!"  -- Gaz, have you ever seen Dick, the comedy about 2 ditsy teenage girls (Kirsten Dunst &  Michelle Williams Ledger) who get involved in the Watergate mess?  Hilarious, with a GREAT '70s cheezball sndtk.

Well, if we really were getting a Presiden't Day set (which we won't, it'll be a "classic" on Monday) Dave'd surely play Randy Newman, "Mr President".  I'd also suggest Cream, "Politician" , Tom Lehrer's "(Whatever Became of) Hubert", Phil Ochs, "Here's to the State of Richard Nixon", and Shona Laing's "Glad I'm not a Kennedy".  And yes, Chicago did "Harry Truman" -- does your question mean you've never heard it?  We must remedy that, if so.
