I tested our UK connections this morning.
CG's player opened up and I didn't get that "enter your postal code" screen this time -- dunno if that was a one-time thing, with cookies remembering me from Friday, or if they've stopped screening. So CGSS is safe for the forseeable future.
Smooth FM is unavailable... for free. But you can listen by subscribing to their high-grade stream, because (they claim) the fee for that version covers the additional licensing fees.
VIP remains unblocked and free.

And I've just pitched this as a possible story for the Voice. We'll see.
-
VIP's technique, it leaves me weak: it's JoBoxers, "Just Got Lucky".
-
KPOO's Judge plays JS, "With Your Love" -- off scratchy vinyl, no less! A closet Marty Balin fan, perhaps?
-
Judge plays Ta Mara And the Seen! "Affection".
-
VIP is slammin' & jammin'. Chairmen o' the Board, "Pay to the Piper"
"Ass' yo' mamma!"
-
oddest VIP obscurity of the day: Georgie Fame, of all people, doing a version of the Helen Reddy hit "Peaceful".
-
VIP plays Teddy twice in an hour: now it's his FAB 1st solo single, "I Don't Love You Anymore".
-
on VIP: "Billy's Bag", a Billy Preston instrumental I've never heard. More Booker T-ish than "Outta Space"-ish, which amkes me suspect it may be pre-1970 (?)

Tuned in to CG for Superfreak. Now disco or close enuf for me. Yay! Clap your hands!
-
i've been listening to the dutchies (radio 2) today. they really start cooking on friday nights! in the last half hour i've heard swing out sister, kool moe dee, the beastie boys, blow monkeys, and now europe is serenading me with "carrie."

You just have to enter a Brit postal code -- my computer cookied it, so I only had to do it once. They're playing Womack & Womack's "Love Wars" Drop them guns on the floor!
-
Greg on CG is giving away a fab new 2-CD, 38-track Wilson Pickett anthology. Sounds wonderful.
-
Miss Nina Simone! "Ain't Got No".
-
Ms Houston, "I Wanna Smoke Crack With Somebody". Don'cha wanna smoke, say ya wanna smoke!
-
carla thomas concert on radio 2 (http://www.radio2.nl/page/live). click the underlined "hier" in the box with the lying dog.
-
Greg pulls out superb back-to-back covers: Candi Staton's "Nights on B'Way" followed by the Staples' superb re-do of T.Heads' "Slippery People".
-
Ridin on the Grooveline. Yeah baby!
-
WLNG Nugget o' the Day: Ian Matthews, "Shake It", which I probably haven't heard since '79.
Followed by Patti Drew, "Tell Him," apparently from '67 but new to me.

Despite drifting in & out of consciousness, I managed to catch some of JJ's Soul Jam on KPOO Sat nite -- and he came up with at least three amazing tracks I'd never heard before:
1. The singer named Swamp Dogg doing a powerfully soulful rendition of (of all things) John Prine's Vietnam Vet classic "Sam Stone". No chart action on that one; I'm assuming early '70s, but -- wow.
2. Otis Clay with a Wilson Pickett-esque cover of "She's About a Mover".
3. The Emperors doing a track from '66 called "Karate" which was apparently stolen -- lock stock & barrel -- by Santana, who re-titled it "Everybody's Everything"! Amazing! Anybody have that Santana LP who can tell me who got a writer credit on "Everybody's..."?

I don't own either album, but thus spake AMG:
Santana: Milton Brown/Teddy Moss/Carlos Santana
And thus spake http://funky16corners.tripod.com/8_emperors.htm on the Emperors:
'Karate' was one in a long line of karate-themed dance tunes in 66 - 67, like Jerry-O's 'Karate Boogaloo', and Chubby Checker's 'Karate Monkey'. Written by Bobby Fulton's cousin Milton Brown and Tirone Moss (who would co-write all but one of the Emperor's original tunes), 'Karate' was a rocking dance craze number featuring a wailing lead vocal, hard drums and garage-y combo organ (played by Brown, and a major part of the Emperors 'sound' on all of their 45s).
So it would appear Santana gave the Emperors a credit. This is actually very interesting -- since it's not a cover, per se, it may be the first instance of "sampling" in rock!
-
Thanks, Gaz -- glad to see they got paid. When I heard the song last nite I damn near fell outta bed.
There are other examples of this sorta "sampling", and we've discussed one or 2 in this forum, no? can't think of one at the moment, but I will.

When the Beach Boys did Surfin' USA, it was such an obvious clone, Chuck Berry was given co-credit for the songwriting!

YES -- that's one I was trying to think of!
