well, I'm listening with the speaker turned down low (so far so good) and KCDX treats me to Procol Harum's "In the wee Small Hours of sixpence", which I haven't heard in decades.
-
I'm also happy to report that the KPOO player actually plays on the new work computer.
-
OMGWTFLOL!!! KCDX plays Rick Springfield's "Speak to the Sky" -- I cannot remember the last time I heard this! Wow.
-
"some spade said, 'rock'n'rollers... you're all the same...'"
I took a Mott the Hoople best-of to the gym Sunday, and this was one of the fab tracks we heard. I tried to explain to my wacky straight friend who's into all things gay that "All the Young Dudes" is one of the gayest songs ever, and that Ian Hunter was metrosexual 35 years before the word was invented, but he wasn't buying it.

I've never heard it, though I know it was a Top 20 chart hit in '72. What's it sound like? I've never even heard a description of it!
Glad your new gig has the added perk of improved net radio listening!

It's kinda country-rock-ish (banjos & stuff). Think: the Stampeder's "Sweet City Woman" meets "Put Your hand in the Hand".
-
CG plays Freddie Mercury's version of "The Great Pretender". Laughing and Gay, indeed!
-
On KCDX: Zep brings my lunch hour to a superb climax with "Tangerine".

WLNG Nugget o' the day: Frankie & the Seasons tellin' it to the rain. Tell it, baby!
After seeing Jersey Boys last week I immediately ordered a fab 4S best-of.
-
And here's Dionne, doing "Promises Promises", title tune from the B'way musical. Love those horns!
Trivia I may have asked before: "Promises Promises" was a musical-ization of what Oscar-winning film?
And here's Andy Kim's underrated cover of "Baby I Love You". C'mon baby na-na-na-na-na-na-nah!

WLNG Nugget o' the day: Frankie & the Seasons tellin' it to the rain. Tell it, baby!
My second favorite of their songs, after "C'mon Marianne." (I'm weird that way.) Psychedelic solo!
-
CGSS the orig Narada
I should have loved ya.

Well, my all-time 4S fave remains "Opus 17" -- an unapologetically old-school production in the midst of psychedelic '67. But "Marianne" is up there too. And I love Donny Osmond's very faithful cover.
-
CGSS plays Miss Millie Jackson, her man is a sweet man. Guess he's never seen that LP cover of Millie on the potty.
-
The WLNG jock who just played "Perfect Way" pronounced the artist as "screechy poleechy". Yeeshy.
-
WLNG Nugget o'the Day: The Association's lovely, little-heard "Everything That Touches You".

There is no other day
Let's try it another way...
Any Little Steven show that begins with the Electric Prunes' "Too Much to Dream" is gonna be great, and sure enuf it's his salute to one of the major components of the Summer of Love, the 14-hour "Technicolor Dream" at London's Alexandra Palais, April 29th 1967. Pink Floyd, among others, performed that day.

TANC yet again. Technicolor Dream was produced in part by Joe Boyd, whose memoirs, White Bicycles, I just finished reading. Extremely interesting read. I knew Boyd as the producer behind Fairport Convention, Richard Thompson, but this book totally opened my eyes to the broad contribution he made to music in the 60s and 70s, mainly as a producer. Prior to working with Fairport et al, he was the stage manager at the Newport Folk Festival in '65, when Dylan went electric. He essentially discovered Pink Floyd, and produced their first single (Arnold Layne). He was the co-promoter of UFO, which was the London equivalent of the Fillmore/Avalon in 67 and 68. He discovered and produced most of the records by the Incredible String Band. He produced Nick Drake's first two albums, which he readily admits no one listened to at the time (partly due to Drake's inability to perform live). He produced REM's Fables of the Reconstruction (their best, imo). And the list goes on.
I happened across my copy of White Bicycles in a bookstore in Bath when I was in the UK last year, but it's since been released in the states. Cannot recommend this strongly enough. It's funny, engaging, and a thoroughly worthwhile read.

Thanks for the tip -- I immediately ordered it from Amazon. Didya know there's a CD that's meant to supplement the book?

I saw it mentioned on Boyd's web site, but haven't had a chance to track it down yet. Hope you dig the book--I most certainly did.
In my usual day-late-and-a-dollar-short fashion, I didn't start reading WB til late March and just finished it on the plane home from NC last week. It was at that point that I looked at Joe Boyd's website and discovered he'd done an in-store signing at Booksmith--on March 21. D'OH!!!!
