CG/VIP/KPOO/WLNG etc Week of 5/15/06

[Gazoo]

VIP is playing the same odd, slightly "off" remake of Chris Rea's "Fool if You Think it's Over" that Dave played last year. The orig must be waaaay out-of-print.

I don't remember hearing (or hearing about) this.  What's "off" about it?  How do I know which version I have?  (My copy's from a volume of "Hard to Find Hits.")

I meant "off" in the sense that it's obvious if you know the original that this is a remake (done for a later label, apparently). Dave played it last year (during an April Fool set, maybe?).

CG's Dean plays Freddie Mercury's "Barcelona". Opera Queens everywhere rejoice!

and only CG could go from "Barcelona" to Herb Alpert's "Spanish Flea" without blinking.

[RGMike]

interesting: CG used to have a no-rap policy (Dean said as much on the air), but some guy who sounded like he was about 75 just requested "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio, and sure enuf, Dean played it.

Obscure CG reggae nugget o' the day: "Let Your Yeah be Yeah (and Your No be No)", the Pioneers covering Jimmy Cliff -- you may recall that Brownsville Station did a rock version of it too.

The Voice for the next two weeks, then JaneyJaneyJan e for the following three.  Time is only on Saturdays for the time being.

PS: Sorry Urth's out of town; I just saw that Ziff Davis (are they still under the CNet umbrella?) are looking for a copy chief for their gaming division, and was hoping to get some contact names to help inch things in my favor.  I'm still very much intending to move back to SF by early next year if work and finances permit.  Sooner, if an opp arises.  I don't love New York.  We're just using each other at this point in the relationship.

CGSS Nugget o' the Day: Billy Preston, "Outta-Space"!

Greg does his salute to the Heatwave guy. "Mind-Blowing Decisions", one of my fave lesser-known songs of theirs.

[Alicat]
