In Memoriam, Happy Birthday / Happy Birthday, Dean Torrence, 70

« on: March 10, 2010, 08:59:12 AM »

Dean Ormsby Torrence of Jan & Dean is 70 today.  Normally I wouldn't have noticed enough to post here, but after seeing The T.AM.I. Show on KQED last night I have to give him props.

Go, Sidewalk Surfer! Go!

In Memoriam, Happy Birthday / Happy Birthday, Dr. MLK Jr.

« on: January 18, 2010, 10:56:42 AM »

His birthday is observed today, but the work continues. 

Interesting article I found via wikipedia:

Dethroning a King

"The best way to deal with a dangerous radical like King is to domesticate him. Claim him. Say you love him. Give him a national 'holy' day, and in doing so, you can stand free from any claims he might have upon us"

Capital Gold, other Internet Radio / CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 11/16/09

« on: November 16, 2009, 01:32:37 PM »

Judge on KPOO (my man! says Mike) just played a song that was probably titled Can You Love A Virgin Man?  probably the coolest sounding song about a guy who's still a virgin.  This song sounds so cool, he's bound to get laid now!

ETA: it seems that was Smokey Robinson...

« on: November 12, 2009, 07:16:39 AM »

Neil Young's Birthday
==================
1. Down By The River
2. Hello Mr Soul - Buffalo Springfield
3. Heart of Gold  --- one of two Neil songs I can think of that start with "I want to live.."
4. Downtown - (from Mirror Ball) -- sort of NTM... basic, raw, I like it.
5. Unknown Legend -- I occurs to me that Mercury Rev's singing style owes a bit to Neil.  I'll throw Flaming Lips and Polyphonic Spree in there, too, among many others.
6. Like a Hurricane
7. Lotta Love -- BOS!
8. Ohio - CSNY
9. Only Love Can Break Your Heart  (live) - CSNY BOS2
10. Expecting To Fly - Buffalo Springfield BOS3!!!

Some good NY-centric selections, like BJ's Angry Young Man, Blondie's X-Offender, Ramones' I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend

Burning Spear's Marcus Garvey was NTM, good political reggae -- that's redundant, right?
