And finishes with Bop Gun. Must be a P-Funk tribute, cuz now there's a promo for Up for the Down Stroke.

If only it didn't keep buffering so goddam much.

LL Cool J, "Boomin' System".  Dang, haven't heard this since it was a hit.

Followed by Prince again, with the NPG. "Lay down your funky weapons"!

"Money Don't Matter 2Night" was Prince's most underrated single.  (His most underrated album track being "Dolphin.")  My ears perk up every time I hear it, which isn't nearly often enough.  Astute of him to call our wars exactly what they is (what they is, what they is) and clever to add "And u think u got it bad" as a sneering afterthought just to make sure nobody feels they're off the hook.

Need to get me the live versions of "U Got the Look" and "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man."  DAMN!

Tuesday: VIP greets me with "#1 DJ" by Goody Goody -- can't remember the last time I heard this.

the obscurities that VIP continues to unearth are just amazing. Here's Tammi Terrell singing about her "Memory Chest". No pics of David Ruffin in there, presumably.

and here's somebody named JJ Barnes (?) doing a fast, uptempo cover of Ace's "How Long".  Jammin'!

Checking out VIP for the first time today. And am greeted with a great cover of Ace's How Long. No idea who it is, but it works. Sounds like they are doing their best to emulate a 60s/70s American AM Top 40 station, right down to the jingles and baritone announcers. Methinks Capitol Gold is in for a fight. (Or is VIP strictly a web-based station?)

VIP will be a satellite-delivered station on Sky Digital, I believe.  So they'll be all over Europe, presumably, as well as on the Web.  I think March 15 is when they become official, with live deejays.

ooo! the Marvelettes, "Hunter Gets Captured...", which I haven't heard since Blondie's cover version bombed back in the early '80s.

The more I listen to this, the more I think they're borrowing heavily from the KFRC school of oldies radio--the announcers, the promos, the jingles, all sound very much like 'FRC prior to their format shift a few months back.

One thing tho--the VIP stream sounds really nice. Not CD quality, but not nearly as tinny as some web streams.
