Veddy interesting: thanks to a Brad Kava tip in today's Merc, here's a link to KGSR in Austin. This is their listener poll for 2005 (songs and albums):

Been listening about a half-hour. Impressive -- everything from Johnny Cash to the Clash.

[RGMike]

nice to hear them playing "3 Cool Cats" from Ry Cooder's Chavez Ravine CD.  KPIG was all over that one too, but -- shamefully -- KFOG passed it by.

ETA: and now they're playing the new Subdudes CD!

[RGMike]

wow -- somebody's doing a wrenching cover of Joan Armatrading's "Down to Zero".   (the website doesn't have a "just played" feature)

[RGMike]

"Wow" of the Day: a song called "I Hope" which is a collab between the Dixie Chicks and Keb Mo' (!)

[RGMike]

"Wow" #2: Stevie, "I Believe When I Fall in Love (it Will Be Forever)".

[RGMike]

Back to KGSR in time for Dylan's "Hurricane".

[RGMike]

calling all Deadheads: David Grisman & Jerry Garcia, "Shady Grove".

I have that album, that's a great listen all the way through.  Also excellent liner notes.

[Gazoo]

Now on CG, it's new to me: Pickettywitch, "That Same Old Feeling."  Quaint confection that would've been a nice fit for either Dionne Warwick or Liz Damon's Orient Express.

I do believe Dave played that fairly recently -- there was discussion here about which version it was, Pickettywitch or the Fortunes (there was a cover battle between the 2 on the US chart in 1970). And good ears, bub -- Liz Damon covered it the following year! (and so did the Foundations)

[Gazoo]

Now playing, Lobo, "I'd Love You to Want Me," and I miss the days when stuff like this could become hits.

If you're sticking around a while, I'll switch back to CG.

Seven rooms, that's all it is! Seven rooms of GLOOM!

"I'll have the windows painted black
And wait right here 'til you come back."

Levi was a Goth before there was such a thing.

I'm still there.  Now "7 Rooms of Gloom," which Mista DJ dinnae recognize.  Great track: the most "rock" thing the Tops ever did, and I have to think HDH had taken note of ? and the Mysterians when they wrote this one.  'Course, the Dells promptly rewrote it a year later for "There Is."
