CG/VIP/LNG/KPOO etc week of 4/3/06
« on: April 03, 2006, 08:04:10 AM »
I tested our UK connections this morning.

CG's player opened up and I didn't get that "enter your postal code" screen this time -- dunno if that was a one-time thing, with cookies remembering me from Friday, or if they've stopped screening. So CGSS is safe for the forseeable future.

Smooth FM is unavailable... for free. But you can listen by subscribing to their high-grade stream, because (they claim) the fee for that version covers the additional licensing fees.

VIP remains unblocked and free.

And I've just pitched this as a possible story for the Voice.  We'll see.

VIP's technique, it leaves me weak: it's JoBoxers, "Just Got Lucky".

KPOO's Judge plays JS, "With Your Love" -- off scratchy vinyl, no less!  A closet Marty Balin fan, perhaps?

oddest VIP obscurity of the day: Georgie Fame, of all people, doing a version of the Helen Reddy hit "Peaceful".

VIP plays Teddy twice in an hour: now it's his FAB 1st solo single, "I Don't Love You Anymore".

on VIP: "Billy's Bag", a Billy Preston instrumental I've never heard. More Booker T-ish than "Outta Space"-ish, which amkes me suspect it may be pre-1970 (?)

 You just have to enter a Brit postal code -- my computer cookied it, so I only had to do it once.    They're playing Womack & Womack's "Love Wars" Drop them guns on the floor!

Greg on CG is giving away a fab new 2-CD, 38-track Wilson Pickett anthology. Sounds wonderful.
