Now I'm kinda craving the Sylvers or Sylvester. Maybe thoughts of Folsom made me want that.
I'm a slave to disco. Whip some on me.

Bobby Womack's cover of "Calif Dreaming". Nice.

One of my favorite things about WLNG is that their newscasts include recent local arrests: so-and-so was charged with DUI, etc.  And the classic, "the men were charged with patronizing a prostitute".  Wake up, guys -- hookers HATE to be talked down to; you should NEVER patronize them...

Ali if you're still around, I've switched over to poc's recommendation:

http://www.kpoo.com

some kinda Friday afternoon soul show... somebody (dunno who) doing Bread's "Make it With you" disco-style!

ETA: it was the Whispers -- and now Miss Jackson-If-Ya-Nasty, "Diamonds"!  Yeah baby!

Which reminds me, I was in the Andronico's on Irving last night a little past 10, and Sylvester's (You Make Me Feel) Mighty Real was on the store PA. Only in SF.  

(I'd have thought it was 10@10 if I hadn't just left the set playing in the car, and known it was still playing Low Rider.)
Let's get right to it.

Play that funky Muzak, white boy...

Do they still even have Muzak any more? I know the company still exists, they provide "music services", but I mean in the sense of orchestral versions of the hits?  I remember being in a NY supermarket in 1983 and hearing a Montovani-esque take on "Hungry Like the Wolf" -- this was as the Duran Duran orig was still on the charts.

And the string-laden Percy Faith version of "Ballad of John & Yoko" is one of the great bad Beatle covers, right up there with Bing Crosby's "Hey Jude."
