Title: 25 Feb 2011: it's... 1972
Post by: RGMike on February 24, 2011, 08:36:43 PM
no clues on FB but I'm guessing some sorta Oscar thingy.  Of course, I've been wrong before.

ETA: '72, sans requests, and we begin with what is becoming an AL-trina: Ms King's "Sweeet Seasons". Of course Dave never ever played this song, so I hate to complain. Yet.

I'm betting you're right. I'd request one of Trent Reznor's instrumentals from "The Social Network". That won't happen.

Early BOS to Carole King's "Sweet Seasons," one of several of her tunes that the Isley Brothers would cover in the next year.

OMG!  Second obscure Boz track of the week!  BOS2 to "Dinah Flo," a personal fave.

I don't consider anything from Silk Degrees obscure, esp not a charted 45 like "Over", but OK.

I would guess this gets my BOS vote in this mellow-fest: Hot Tuna's Water Song.   Some may call it a Katrina, but still...

Not a 10@10 'trina, exactly, but "Water Song" was such a KFOG staple in the post-9/11 days that it feels like one. Still lovely, tho'. VHM.

Well, "It's Over" missed the 40 and I've never heard it on the radio outside 10@10s; YMMV.

Meantime, VHM to "Water Song."

for whatever reason, there were several "soothing" instrumentals (Satriani's "Always In Me/You" is another) that were VERY heavily played by KFOG in the months after 9/11 -- they were seen as "musical comfort food" apparently. 

VHM Mr Nilsson. "you such a silly woman!"

Was just watching a Nilsson documentary with my roommate last night.  Shame about his teeth.  And that he self-destructively wrecked his voice so soon after achieving success.

Not sure if I'd heard Nesmith's version of Different Drum before.  I know he's the author.

One thing I can tell you here that was kind of funny...I was listening to my MP3 player - which is always on random play - on BART & as I walked up to 2 Embaracadero Ctr.  And just as I was about to get on the elevator Rush's "Big Money" came up.

Big Money make mistakes.
Big Money got a heavy hand.
Big Money take control.
Big Money got a mean streak.
Big Money GOT NO SOUL!!!

I never really liked Elton John, so I don't remember this.  Must be from the first album?

By 1972 he had at least 7 album outs.  He did four in '71 alone!

Pardon the time warp.  The whole mellow thing planted me firmly in my girlfriend's house in Santa Barbara, granola, Carole King, etc, and I hear EJ's "Your Song." My mental time machine was off by a couple of years of course.

2/25/11-Friday!! Taking a Smooth Ride Back to...1972!!

 1.  Carole King- Sweet Seasons
 2.  Boz Scaggs- Dinah Flo
(TV: Maude- Florida on being a maid/housekeeper)
  3.  Jimmy Cliff- Sitting In Limbo
 4.  Stephen Stills/Manassas- Johnny's Garden
 5.  Hot Tuna- Water Song
(News promo/election coverage)
 6.  Harry Nilsson- Coconut (BOS!!)
 7.  Michael Nesmith- Different Drum
(Movie: Heartbreak Kid)
 8.  Elton John- Suzie (Dramas)
 9.  Billy Preston- Outa-Space
(News: Nixon campaigning)
10. James Brown- Talkin' Loud & Sayin' Nothin'

Like a dull knife, AL's intern just ain't cuttin':  they listed the Nilsson tune as "The Coconut Song". Er, it's just called "Coconut".  Speaking of pedantry -- but I'm def wagging my finger at this one.  ;) (they also misspelled "Outa-Space" as "Out-a-Space")

and BTW, the Sat marathon will go '84, then 90, 78, 67 & 72. Saving the best 2 for last.

Perfect - if I get up early enough tomorrow, I can hear what I want from AT40 and then rerun some goodies.
