Music on TV

Just when you thought the Tonys couldn't get any gayer: Martha Wash struts out to sing "It's Raining Men"! Hallelujah!

KRCB showing a rerun of "Austin City Limits" from 2008 with Miss Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings. Lawd have mercy.

the ubiquitous Florence & the Machine are on Colbert tonite -- just in time for the first "dog day" of summer, heh.

[RGMike]

So I just saw Jack White's musical project The Black Belles, on Colbert. Is it me, or is this a PAINFULLY obvious gimmick? I'm not debating whether they have talent or not, but jeez, the goth makeup, the hair, the outfits... at least the MaryJane Girls and Vanity 6 had cleavage.

The DJ on 1340 The Boardwalk was just singing the praises of this episode, particularly their version of "I Never Found a Girl (to Love Me Like You Do)".

Just when you thought PBS had run out of artists to do pledge-month clip-shows about... KCSM is showing their latest, a Jim Croce compilation. Sure to been seen many more times in the next month. Some nice vintage clips from back in his too-brief heyday.

Highlight: "Lover's Cross", one of my favorite songs of his. Melanie did a lovely cover of it the year after his death that should've been a big hit.

I've seen this, I think.  The interview his wife in there.  (Btw, she owns a restaurant in San Diego named Croce's:  http://www.croces.com/ingrid/)

She comes across nicely in the interview clips -- I'd heard bad things about her (a friend of mine knew Cashman & West, who produced some of his stuff, and they feuded with her over song rights).   Here's the Melanie version of "Lover's Cross":

You're back -- we've wondered why you haven't posted lately; we're curious what you (as one of our younger members) think of the changes at KFOG.

I've been around lurking. I just had nothing to post about. And if you consider someone who is close to his mid-40s a younger member sure. I haven't really listened to KFOG a lot (been listening to KUFX "KFOX") so I don't notice a huge change. What I have been listening to is fine.

I recently watched "Dazed and Confused:  The Led Zeppelin Story" on Biography.  In many ways it was better than their earlier attempt at LZ doc -- better interviews (with real band members/staff).  But obviously they had trouble getting rights to Zep music, so some of the time the soundtrack was ersatz Zeppelin riffs that sounded a lot more like Black Sabbath than Zep.  Worst of all was when they showed a concert clip and backed it with audio from ... Pink Floyd!  Real Pink Floyd, from Wish You Were Here.  Just pathetic.

I've probably seen it before, but still digging the 1997 concert by the Bee Gees on KQED.
