Title: Friday July 1 and it's....1974!!
Post by: urth on July 01, 2005, 09:42:40 AM
One of my fave years!!

And thankfully not what someone called in to suggest during the morning show: an all-Canadian 10@10. She mentiomed the usual suspects (Neil, Joni, Rush, Barenaked Ladies, Sarah McLachlan, a few others) but didn't think of Triumph or the Tragically Hip. Bummer. ;)

Oh, I dunno- Getty Lee sang a killer version of "Take Off (To the Great White North)" for a McKenzie Brothers comedy bit that used to get played on Dr Demento & stuff....

This morning when people were calling in trying to name canadian rockers, no one mentioned NEIL. I called Dave and said what about Neil, he sounded like "d'oh", forgot about him. Then he played me some Cinnamon Girl.

HM to Brownsville Station, this version is vastly superior to the Motley Crue remake from a decade or so later.

And RIP, Cub Koda.

Dave must have a plane to catch or something--it's 10:14 and we just started Super Hit 6. Could be he's got a long version in store? Nah.

Damn, I'm missing some good stuff.  Words don't suffice to express how great "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing" is.

But an all-Canada set would have been cool.  I'd add Anne Murray and Gordon Lightfoot to the list.  And if I had the celestial jukebox at hand, something from Mynah Birds to represent Neil.

Yep, just a short set. Finished at 10:34. Shortest set that wasn't from 1966 in a good while.

I think there's no CGSS today -- a "Live 8" special, I think he said.

no capital gold today? darn.

i returned last night from iceland. i mean paris. i mean berlin. it was a 30-hour trip, but a surprisingly relaxing one. i heart berlin. if all goes well, i will be moving there next month...

in other news, i watched "two days in december" last night. i'm not certain that's the proper title. it's the rolling stones family circus. great, great stuff! though the dvd skipped through marianne faithfull's performance. damn technology...

The problem with waiting around for the Bonus Track is having to hear Counting Crows.

that was three years ago, if you can believe it. mitte is the neighborhood in berlin where i stayed. berlin is the absolutely most dopest place i have ever been. i can't describe it, really. an enormously huge city with a small town feel. just beautiful! hidden city beaches with bars and djs that spin curtis mayfield all afternoon long...gorgeous architecture. bikes! bikes! bikes! toooonnnnns of places to play music. and, i swear, by the power of greyskull, berlin has the highest percentage of fine women per capita.

i have a couple of english teaching offers and a place to live. so i should at least TRY it. see how i fare for a winter. mmmm....beer.
