Greg ends my afternoon with 2 weather-related gems: post-Diana Supes with "Automatically Sunshine" and Oran "Juice" Jones, "The Rain" -- $3700 Lynx coat and everything. "I gave you things you couldn't even pronounce!"

TANC, kinda: We didn't get to hear Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead" today -- but here they are, on CG's retro-countdown show, doing a rather faithful cover of "Ziggy Stardust" from 1982!  New to me.

and now a great Spandau Ballet song I haven't heard in ages: "Lifeline". This chart has some real interesting stuff on it:

WLNG has been sprinkling H'ween-themed songs throughout the day: Here's a bit of a stretch: Diana Ross' "Eaten Alive".

sampling CBS-FM for the first time in weeks. Bob Shannon says rats -- as pets! -- are back in vogue thanks to Ratatouille. And then he plays (what else?) "Ben".

switched to CG in time to hear Sweeney play a super-long 12" mix of Prince's "Alphabet Street". Now go and tell yo' mama 'bout DAT!

getting an extra hour of Sweeny ( the Brits turned the clocks back last week) and he's an absolute FONT. A Billy J Kramer song ("I'll Keep You satisfied") that's new to me. And I'd never noticed this (not even when Dave played it recently) but he correctly points out that on Chris Montez's "Let's Dance", he actually sings "let's dan" -- Every. Single. Time.

and --OMG! -- Stevie, "Misstra Know-it-All"!

OMGWTFLOL! CGSS plays Tony Camilla's Bazuka, "Dy-no-MITE", their 1975 tribute to the Jimmie "JJ" Walker catchphrase.  Haven't heard this in eons.

Tonight on Barry Scott's Lost 45s, one of my all-timers, "I'd Wait a Million Years."  Someday I'm gonna compile a full mix of morse-code riffs.
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”

Followed a while later by another, Smokey & the Miracles' "Baby, Baby Don't Cry."

A CD of Smokey's lesser/forgotten singles would put the average artist's "Best of" collection to shame:

(Come 'Round Here) I'm the One You Need (#17 Pop)
The Love I Saw in You Was Just a Mirage (#20)
More Love (#23)
YesterLove (#31)
Special Occasion (#26)
I Don't Blame You At All (#18 )
I'll Try Something New (#39)

Amazing.
