CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 7/16/07

Speaking of songs not heard in decades:

In the past 40 minutes or so, KPIG has played Joy of Cooking's Brownsville Mockingbird, and just now their "420 Moment" was Jesse Winchester's Twigs and Seeds. I'm sure I hadn't heard either in a good 25 years, if not more (and probably lots more in the case of the JofC, as that song was a hit circa '71 or so).

I heard them play the JofC tune recently; must be knocking around their studio (on vinyl, no doubt!).  But the Winchester -- jeez, I don't think I've ever heard that on the radio, even back in the day (and his early LPs got a LOT of NY airplay -- talk about an artist that time forgot).

per the NY Radio Board, CBS-FM's Bob Shannon just did this bit:

"And now... reliving a traumatic moment from my childhood when my mother told me she didn't want any grandchildren..."

and he immediately played "Mama Told Me Not To Come".

ROTFL!

OMFG! Bustout of the Week -- CGSS plays Salt'n'Pepa, "Lets talk About Sex"!  I'm in awe.

Sweeney's CG Rock Show follows up the "30th anniv of Punk in the UK" show with a look at Punk in the US circa '77.  Starting with the Ramones, natch.

That part must be over, 'cuz now he's back to playing Bryan Adams. Wish I could understand what Sweeney sees in him.

You didn't miss much; it was less than an hour and other than the joy of hearing the NY dolls, nothing Earth-shattering.

JJ on KPOO plays Faith Hope & Charity's fab "To Each His Own", which I haven't heard in 30 years -- this was a #1 R&B single in 1975, but inexplicably failed to hit the Pop Top 40.
