KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc week of 11/14/11

Well, at least I get to hear a bit of my buddy Brian Bannon on 'LNG.

wow, "Moon River", my huckleberry friend.

OMG: the Doobs 1989 comeback, "The Doctor" -- I'd forgotten this was a Top Ten single.

On Soma-FM Xmas: Twisted Sister's "O Come All Ye faithful"", which reveals they ripped this carol's melody off for "We're Not Gonna take It". Somebody's going to hell.

2NG's retro-chart today will be Nov 1968 -- looks like a swell bunch o' tunes.

Pre-chart: Cilla Black covering one of my fave Beatle tunes, "For No One". NTM and lovely.

Old faves on this chart: Nina Simone's "I Got Life", Jeannie C Riley's "HVPTA" and my beloved "Elenore" -- groovy, indeed.

Dave Dee, Dozy etc: "Wreck of the Antoinette" -- Antoinette, you're no Edmund Fitz.

ooo! Bandwagon's "Breaking Down the walls of Heartache" -- how this failed to chart in the US is baffling (they were Americans). Edwin Starr did a version too, and Dexy's revived it in the '80s.

*swoon*! Englebert is on his bicyclette.

"Hey Jude" -- Bathroom break!

Proxy of Giter Dunn: "Little Arrows".

OMFG: Barry Ryan's fab orig version of "Eloise"!

Mary Hopkin looks back; Hugo Montenegro gets "Ugly".

And #1 this week was Zho Co-KAIR's orig studio version of "With a Little help from my Friends".

Catching up on some recent Larry Grogan podcasts: NTM, a jazzy Rufus & Chaka cover of "Half Moon", orig done by Janis on Pearl and I never knew it was written by John Hall of Orleans fame!

[RGMike]

OMFG: on soma-FM's xmas, the NTM Sharon Jones ditty, "Ain't No Chimneys in the Projects" (!)
