LNG-ing for a bit, and here's Elvis, "If I Can Dream", his big comeback song, which was completely ignored in NYC. I remember hearing it late at night on CKLW and wondering why nobody in NY was playing it.

BTW, Gaz sent me this link the other day:

it looks like we may not be able to listen to CG or Smooth FM (and possibly VIP too) after April 1st. I'll be lost without Greg Edwards.

It sure f***ing does :wink:
I've been VIP-ing today, since Judge on KPOO has been in a jazz mood (dunno if this is a permanent change in his focus or just temporary). Here's Diana & the Supes covering "Stormy" -- followed by Marvin covering "Sunny"!. VIP just continually unearths amazing stuff and I'll be VERY upset if we can't hear them anymore.
-
another rarity: Bobby Taylor & the Vancouvers doing a medley of "baby I'm for Real" and "The Bells".

Oh damn, I'd've loved to have heard that.
So Mike, you've been in contact with one of the Capital Gold, right? Or Beej maybe? Wondered if someone could email one of those stations to find out their plans/thoughts/solutions on the matter. I don't know anyone at CG or VIP, m'afraid.

I emailed Greg Edwards of CGSS today; I don't know if he checks his mail during the week, so we may have to wait til Fri for a response.
VIP may actually (I hope) keep streaming since they have American air talent like Shannon and Bobby Jay, who've been promoting the thing to their former 'CBS-FM listeners.
-
VIP rules! Marvin, "Distant Lover", followed by Darrell Banks, "Open the Door (To Your Heart)".
-
OMG! Supes, "No Matter What Sign You Are".
"Your water sign just lit my fire!"
-
Jackie Wilson said, "the whispers gettin' louder, peaches"
-
Hey Gaz, another, Northern Soul-ish cover of "Dancing in the Moonlight", by Toploader.
-
Sonny Charles & Checkmates LTD, "Black Pearl", Phil Spector's last '60s masterpiece.
Followed by the Blow Monkeys "It Doesn't have To Be That Way", their sound-alike follow up to "Digging Your Scene".
-
VIP segue of the day: from Al Wilson's "the Snake" to "It's Raining Men".

Been checking out Radioio's 70s channel via iTunes (although you can stream direct from their site, I believe). Here's a list of what's been played in the last hour or so--kind of like DDT but with somewhat deeper tracks (like the Thin Lizzy or the Dregs cuts):
previously played on radioio70ssm
Neil Young - Drive Back
George Thorogood - Cant Stop Loving
Janis Joplin - Down On Me LIVE
Dixie Dregs - Leprechaun Promenade LIVE
Kinks - Stormy Sky
Thin Lizzy - Warriors
Tom Petty - What Are You Doin In My Life
Enhanculin - Call 800 480 9362
EpiClear - FREE Sample at 800 608 9502
Jeff Beck - Come Dancing
Traffic - Heaven Is In Your Mind
The one catch is they play ads (see the two entries prior to jeff beck above) unless you pop for a Soundpass at $5/mo or $50/yr.
Here's their URL:
http://radioio.com/radioio70s.php#
ETA: Aside to Lightnin' Rod--noticed that among their rotating "featured albums" on the search player is none other than Axe Victim, although I haven't heard anything from it yet. Heard Mott the Hoople's Sucker though, which I don't think I'd heard in a good 10 years.

Tuning into VIP Radio while I pitch stories. Now playing: George Benson's greatest love of all, long before Bobby Brown found an even greater love inside of Whitney.

Why was "Hungry Heart" a '76 bonus track?
Meantime, Luther gets his "Papillon" on, and Alicat missed Teddy's "Don't Leave Me This Way."

no, it was pre-bonus. Bonus: Bowie, "Stay". Coulda had "X Offender" or some Joan Armatrading, tho'.
-
oo! Shalamar, "There it Is". Followed by "Cantaloop"!
-
Hey, a Supremes twin-spin: "Someday We'll Be Together," followed by the much-ignored "Some Things You Never Get Used To."
-
ain't nothin' goin' on but royalties for Burt Bacharach! Gwen Guthrie does "Close to You". New to me.
and the J-5's FAB cover of "Doctor My Eyes"!!!

The Pasadenas, "Tribute", a wonderful song from '89, all about shout-outs to soul pioneers.
Hey I want to tell you a story
It’s about the groove
All Right now look hope here
Hope it makes you move
And get’s the rhythm too
Yeah oh yeah
Well there’s music from the past
Music for the young and old
Music revelation rock and roll and soul
Ref:
Right on right on
Right on (repeat)
There was Little Richard ( Tutti Fruti)
And Elvis too (shook up, shook up, shook up)
Way back in the fifties ( way back, way back, way back)
There were doing it for me and you
Well I know there is way
With music we can say
These songs are in our blood
So let them play cos it’s happening today
Ref:
Right on right on
Right on (repeat)
And we see it all so clear
The music while we are here
And we need it everyday
No doubt about it we can show the way
Talking about Sam cooke
Jackie Wilson was their names
Ever since then things ain’t been the same
(ain’t been the same)
Otis Redding God may rest his soul
Play back James Brown
How slides I don’t know
There’s Motor City that gave us the motown tunes
They laid the foundation lord
And made Detroit some thing new
Yeah we’re talking about
Marvin Gaye (What’s going on)
Little Stevie ( For once in my life)
Smokey ( Tears of a Clown)
Supremes ( Baby love)
Ref:
Right on right on
Right on (repeat)
Ike and Tina Right on right on
Aretha Franklin Right on right on
Jimmy Hendrix Right on right on
Sound of Philly The Jackson 5
All these sounds are still alive
Whoo

CG-ing today: Dean plays "Je T'aime"! Makes the Chakachas "Jungle Fever" seem even cheezier than it is.
-
The Pasadenas, "Tribute", a wonderful song from '89, all about shout-outs to soul pioneers.
and it shows up again on CGSS! A lost gem that did nothing in the US.

Well, Greg addressed my question on the show today. Looks like (from the hints he dropped) that we will indeed lose CG around April 1st.
:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
-
and Greg plays my request for First Choice, "Smarty Pants", and follows it with "Hot Pants". Its a pants twin-spin!

More from Greg... He was being a bit cryptic on the air, answering my questions in code, sorta. I emailed him to say how sad we will be to lose CG and especially his Soul Spectrum. he replied:
"The reason I am being so coy is that this might not be the end of it, because some companies are fighting the decision and it might eventually be overturned, so Here's To The Future of Radio on the Web.
I sure am going to miss my world-Wide audience, it now feels like good neighbours have gone away.
Thanks for being with us,
Cheers
Greg"

here's Quincy J & Co, "Ai No Corrida" -- did they rip off "Dreadlock Holiday" or did 10cc steal from them?

"Ai No Corrida" was originally recorded in 1980; Q's version came in '81. 10cc came first!

10cc came first!

Fill me in...I have totally missed something here. Damn work keeping me too busy.

OK... this was posted earlier in the week... UK radio stations that stream on the 'net will have to block their streams to anyone outside to UK to avoid paying music licensing fees in every other country in the world (WAY too expensive). Kicks in on April 1st. Fingers crossed that it can be averted, but right now it doesn't look good.

been really digging the world channel. It's perfect for when I'm working on school stuff, as if it's in English, my brain becomes easily distracted! Lots of cool pickin'.

Per Bob Shannon, deejay at VIP Radio:
"I got a response from Kev Roberts, head of VIP. He says they are definitely NOT pulling the stream--and that most broadcasters over there are entering into negotiations with PPL (the British music royalties association)."
So we'll still have VIP and this gives hope that CG may not be lost either, in the long run.
