Judge's flashback of the day (so far): The Jets, "Rock it to You"

followed by Prince, "We are the New Power Generation" -- lay down your funky weapons!

Got a bit weary of Judge's Malcolm X birthday salute (basically uninterrupted speechifying) after 20+ minutes, and switched to SoulClassics24/7 -- I'm hearing Grayson Hugh's wonderful "Talk it Over" for the first time in years.

I'd forgotten how silly the "Rocket 2 U" video (http://youtube.com/watch?v=tCu2tm0NPec) was.  It's like Andrew Ridgeley discovered he had numerous Tongan siblings while hosting Pee-wee's Playhouse.

Somebody call Casey Kasem: JJ on KPOO is playing Brook Benton... and he doesn't sound like Roger Wittaker at ALL.

CGSS disco-very of the week: Creative Source's cover of "Who Is He and What Is He To You?", in a 12" remix that sounds like imitation Norman Whitfield circa '72.

WLNG resurrects a lost slice of bubblegum: Street People with "Jennifer Tomkins" (not to be confused with "Jennifer Eccles" or "Jennifer Juniper" or 27 Jennifers).

This week's Idiot's Delight starts off with Vin heaping praise on the California Supreme Court for last week's gay marriage decision. He then follows with a lengthy set dedicated to the Golden State. Def. worth a listen:

OMG! I'd completely forgotten that connection!  First time I'd ever heard it the song, actually. Totally didn't recognize his voice. Thanks!

Thank you Mr Scelsa: I haven't heard Judy Collins' cover of Donovan's "Sunny Goodge Street" in 30 years, easily. "My My they sigh..."

"GST" is a weekly occurence with Vin--I believe he's been playing it for awhile, like maybe since, oh, late January of 2001.

Over to WLNG for Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood's forgotten "Summer Wine".  And it's followed by her dad with "That's Life".

Hey Mike, have you had any problem with the CG player, when listening to archived shows, timing out on you if you put it on pause? I've had it happen twice today, and since it won't let you advance thru the stream to a specific point in the show, it means you have to listen from the beginning all over again. Kind of a pain.

the pause button doesn't work at all on mine!  When they first launched the new player, it was possible to fast forward, but I guess the advertisers complained.  They keep promising to break up the long shows (like CGSS) into smaller segments of 2 hours each, but so far no dice.

Tonight's Barry Scott strikes gold early, with Donny & Marie's take on "Deep Purple."  Never heard their take on Deep Purple, though.

More great Scott: Rocky Burnette's Mike fave "Tired of Toein' the Line," and - OMGWTFLOL! - Carly, not afraid of changing her act on "Attitude Dancing."

Can't remember which thread you mentioned it on this week, Mike, but Barry just played Herbie Mann's "Hijack."  Great stuff!  Traumatizing album cover, though.  Why'd it tumble off the chart so suddenly?

Can't remember which thread you mentioned it on this week, Mike, but Barry just played Herbie Mann's "Hijack." 

It was in the Top 20 of Casey's 1975 chart last week. Flute solos are almost as rare on the charts as xylophone solos! Dunno why it tumbled the way it did; maybe there was an actual hijacking? (they were big in the '70s)

As to the Carly: it was considered quite the misstep at the time, since it peaked at #21 and no other Top 40 hits were forthcoming from her all-too-appropriately titled LP, Playing Possum. It would be 2 years before she had another hit, and that was the James Bond theme she sang but didn't write.

Selvin kicks off his show tonite with the Brains' fab orig version of "Money Changes Everything". Still an amazing track. 

Selvin's guest is Richard Gossin (?), a former KSAN-in-the-free-form-days DJ, and they're reminiscing about when radio was cool.

Probably was Richard Gossett.
