CG/VIP/KPOO/WLNG etc Week of 4/24/06

[RGMike]

OMGWTF! Rick Astley (who's really not ghastly), "Together Forever"!

BTW Dean's Jukebox is All-British-Artists all week.

uh-oh, someone's dropped a cup, and Frampton's submerged.

ETA: another reason I love the Brits: there's actually a town in Lancashire called Ramsbottom.  

and now Dean's playing AG&D's "Resurrection Shuffle".

[RGMike]

OMGWTF2: The Stranglers, looking at the "Peaches".

[RGMike]

A Del Amitri song called "Nothing Ever Happens" -- apparently done by Manfred Mann as well; dunno who covered who.

[RGMike]

This all-Brit Jukebox has been a treat.  Dean ends with Dave Edmunds' glorious Everlys hommage, "Here Comes the Weekend".

[RGMike]

the all-British Jukebox continues... and here's Danny Wilson's "Mary's Prayer", one of the most wonderful, overlooked singles of the '80s.  Just gorgeous.

BTW, Greg's CGSS tomorrow will be All-British as well.

[RGMike]

good lord, here's "When Will I Be famous?"by Bros, one of those flavor-of-the-month Brit boybands of the '80s that never got anywhere on this side of the pond.

[RGMike]

yikes -- Wham's "Club Tropicana", which never got any airplay in the States but apparently was a hit in the UK.  Club Tropicana is across the street from the Copacabana, I believe (making it easy for Messrs. Michael and Manilow to compare music and passion, which are always in fashion).

[RGMike]

Greg on his All-British CGSS plays Eruption's "I Can't Stand the Rain" -- I always thought they were Dutch?

And now it's a group called the Olympic Runners, which includes Pete "18 with a Bullet" Wingfield. New to me.

[RGMike]

about time: Greg plays Roachford, "Cuddly Toy" -- too bad Gaz is missing this.

[RGMike]

on WLNG, 2 days in a row at almost exactly the same time: Maureen McGovern, "The Morning After". Getting ready for the Poseidon remake, no doubt.
