Title: 21 June 2010: Here Comes Summer!
Post by: RGMike on June 18, 2010, 07:49:06 PM
Yup, it's a summer songs set. Here's one we won't hear, I'm sure: "Here Comes Summer", a 1977 rarity by a group who called themselves Wildfire. It's a somewhat Eagles-ish remake of the Jerry Keller hit from 1959.  I still own this 45; didn't find out until recently that one of the members of Wildfire was DJ Scott Shannon of WPLJ, Z-100 and "True Oldies Channel" fame.

I'll pass on the Dutchies, too. It's a good song to hear once in a blue moon, though.

Ack...2 theme sets in a row.  I've noticed quite a few theme sets lately (the themes which seem to get more and more unnecessary imo) tho - and more 90s too - is she back to doing one each 60s/70s/80s/90s/theme per week?

I dunno, June is just a big theme month -- we didn't get "Summer" last year because it was a Sunday. Friday will be the Pride Set, BTW.

VHM to the true stereo of this Mungo Jerry classic.

I believe they're Dutch, and they seem like dubious drivers, exercising poor decisions: they're driving the Grapevine without a spare!  idjits!  No wonder more bikes are used than cars in Amsterdam.

well, we know how I feel about the Motels, but Style Council was one of my FB-requests, along with the Raspberries tune we just heard, Blotto's "I Wanna Be a Lifeguard" and Sinatra's "Summer Wind"

Some times of the year are just more prone to theme sets--like April with April Fools, Tax Day, and Earth Day hard on one another's heels. Haven't been really keeping track of whether we've been getting more of the quota method of programming or not however, since I've been unable to listen to most of them (sigh). But you may have something.

I've noticed a lot of sets that go to 11 lately too--like at least a couple every week. Maybe she misses doing the Bonus track more than she's letting on, so just tacking it onto the end of the set? Anyway, it's her gig, she can do what she wants--far be it for me to bitch about getting an extra song.

All that said, looking at today's box score it seems like she took a lot of fogheads' by-the-book suggestions for this set, but where she deviated and made a pick of her own, she really went for it (Raspberries, Simple Minds, DJJJ & FP). I'd thought for sure she was going to use my Jonathan Richman suggestion (That Summer Feeling), but it didn't happen. I'll have to console myself thinking maybe it was one that was left on deck.

actually, the 'beeries tune was one of mine... I also requested the Blotto song she posted on FB -- She brought it in from home, she said, but tho' it was a big "turntable hit" in the Northeast, nobody in SF had heard of it.
