promo tipped it at 11:30 am, which has got to be the soonest yet. (not counting theme sets that Dave hypes days in advance, of course).

A real Touch and Go start to the set. (Gettin' the Cars out of the way early.)

Figuring XTC and probably some kind of Lennon reference (if not actual song) are near certainties. I'd love to hear Sherry, Darling too, but that's lots less likely.

Strange track record for this song.  Dave played it once each in '02 & '04, but then 4 times in 2006, and now this is only the second time we've heard it since '06.

But you gotta  'splain somethin' to me: Have you got gifs of all this stuff just sitting in waiting on your hard drive? Or are you listening from home with your scanner and/or digicam all warmed up and ready? Your ability to come up with topically relevant avatars on very little notice is pretty remarkable.

Chrissie took a lot of heat in punk purist circles for making her first single a Kinks cover, but I guess if you want to have a baby with the songwriter it's not a bad career move.

I had the opportunity to meet Vin a few years back, while he was doing the aforementioned Live At Lunch show from J&R Music in Manhattan. A true gentleman, very gracious, tons of stories. A memory I will hold close for the rest of my days.

Yeah, Scelsa was understandably choked-up, but still professional. Such a sense of loss in his voice and those of his callers that night.

Yep--it's so obvious that he's just rocked, but still carrying on for his listeners, and vice versa.

I had the opportunity to meet Vin a few years back, while he was doing the aforementioned Live At Lunch show from J&R Music in Manhattan. A true gentleman, very gracious, tons of stories. A memory I will hold close for the rest of my days.

BTW, his current show is still avail for streaming on the 'FUV website (wfuv.org) -- or was the last time I looked.  I always forget to check in with him.

Holy flaming mother of God!  Annalisa plays a bonus from an LP that has NEVER graced a Morey '80 set, afaik.  Amazing.  I just heard the orig (ballad) version of ICSUFFD the other day -- a fine Isaac Hayes/David Porter composition.

and here's yer Lennon clip into  -- UGH! "People Who Died".. for shame, Dave -- seriously.
I was on the air in NJ the night Lennon died, ended up doing the overnight, playing all Beatles/Lennon and network news updates until sunrise. I recall taking calls from listeners whose clock radios went off at 5am or 6am tuned to our station, woke up not knowing what all the fuss was about.

Wow!  I was in NYC and heard the news from Vin Scelsa. And of course WNEW-FM went into several days of all-Beatles-all-the-time programming.
I have Vin Scelsa on tape from that night, from WNEW-FM's 20th Anniversary retrospect in 1987

I've heard the Scelsa tape a few times--always gives me chills. (Dave's got it in his clip archive, and I believe Vin played it on his Live At Lunch Internet show (RIP) a number of years ago on the anniversary of Lennon's death.)

I want to archive this conversation.

I was only 12 when Lennon died. I actually never heard of the Beatles until Lennon died. To me Paul McCartney was that "dude" from Wings. I did own Lennon's 1980 album (of course it was half good and half bad, you all know which half was bad).
