KHUM/CG/KPOO/KRSH/KCDX/VIP/LNG etc week of 10/16/06

[RGMike]

now there's a segue: From "Court of the Crimson King"... to Carole King (en espanol, por favor, "Corazon").

and followed by Ms Benatar, "Invincible"!  Which sounds rather Madonna-ish to me now. Am I crazy?

[RGMike]

WOW -- Tim Hardin's orig version of "Simple Song of Freedom", famously covered by Bobby Darin.

[RGMike]

ooo! Buf Springfield, "Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing" -- I have still not heard the Carpenters cover of this, but would love to.

[RGMike]

Melanie's laying down her candles in the rain. Lovely.

[RGMike]

10cc, "Art For Art's Sake", one of their great early singles.

[RGMike]

George not only digs love, he loves dig!

and appropriately, he's followed by obscure Badfinger, "Perfection".

[RGMike]

and the afternoon ends perfectly with the Eagles, "The Last Resort", surely Mr Henley's finest hour before going solo.

[RGMike]

'CDX-ing: rare ELO ("Mr Radio") followed by Yes, "And You And I".

[RGMike]

TANC: Dean on CG plays an obscure Stylistics song ,"16 Bars" (a hit in the UK but not the US). New to me. Nice trumpet solo work by somebody.

[RGMike]

TTD on CG: the sublime "Sign Your Name".

[RGMike]

Unit 4 +2, their follow-up to "Concrete & Clay": "You've Never Been In Love Like This Before", a new one on me.

[RGMike]

OMG! Alison Moyet, "Weak in the Presence of Beauty". Haven't heard this in eons.

[RGMike]

closing out the CG portion of my day: Matthews' Southern Comfort's lovely take on "Woodstock".

[RGMike]

OMGWTF -- WLNG pulls out a Gilbert O'Sullivan Double Play! "Clair" and the overlooked "Out Of The Question".

[RGMike]

Frankie Valli, the orig Jersey Boy, "Swearin' to God".
