11:09 Dennis Elsas is leading off his show by playing New York City on WFUV.


I'm torn -- CG is playing Karen Carpenter's "Ticket To Ride".


If you're looking for upbeat, I'd stay on CG. Elsas just said that his show was going to be "an up and down ride"--he promises to play reminiscences from other WNEW staffers of the time, Howard Cosell, and pieces of a '74 interview that he did with Lennon. He just finished playing the clip we've heard DM play on occasion of Vin Scelsa announcing Lennon's murder to the NEW audience, and the lengthy monologue that followed.
ETA: He is not, however, strictly playing Lennon music--I've heard Matthew Sweet, Peter Gabriel's Games without Frontiers, and the Magic Numbers, among other things over the last 40 minutes.

Suddenly! Someone! Is there! at the TURNSTILE!!!

It's Shatner. Wth kaleidoscope.  Eyes-eyes-eyes-eyes-eyes...

and in the most blatant ridiculous-to-sublime segue ever, CG follows that with Emmylou Harris' gorgeous "Here There & Everywhere" and Smokey's "And I Love Her".  This has been a fab segment today.

And now the reverse: Sublime (That Sexy Ferry doing "She's Leaving Home") to Ridiculous (Tiffany, "Saw Him Standing There").

Greg ends the covers session with Sean Connery (!) doing a dramatic reading of "In My Life".  Never heard this before -- and may never again.

switched over to Elsas on WFUV, and he plays White Stripes "Denial Twist". More than a bit of early Macca (by way of Little Richard) in that one.

Joni, "Conversation". Maybe I should listen to Mr Elsas more often.

Been having that same thought. He's been playing some nice stuff the last two days that I've been listening.

I still can't picture Mavis hooking up with Dylan, tho'...

OMGWTFLOL! Greg digs out the Salsoul Orchestra Xmas LP.  I still have it on vinyl.   Oh what fun it is to ride in a crystal meth-y sleigh!

A bit of freaky listening Sunday afternoon:

Direct link to stream: http://stream.servstream.com/ViewWeb/BBCRadio_music/Event/BBCRadio6.asx


Thankfully, they archive shows -- I'll check it out this week.  Any particular highlight on the setlist?
