KHUM/CG/KPOO/KRSH/KCDX/VIP/LNG etc week of 12/4/06

[urth]

I was just about to post how nicely the 'POO stream was behaving today, when, just after Judge's first song (Rick James, Bustin' Out) begins, so did the buffering.

Dammit, this just ain't fair....

I think we must've posted and then deleted our respective threads in unison. I'll hang for a bit, but it's not improving for me much. It's weird how it was fine for Marilyn's show, but right after the stroke of noon it went to hell. More traffic? Sunspots? Conspiracy?

It does seem to be finally improving-not buffering every 20 seconds or so.

Here's one for ya, Mike--Native New Yorker. Complete with the warmth of vinyl (as with the previous couple of cuts).

[RGMike]

OMG! The Richie Family, "Best Disco in Town" -- a copycat medley predating the "Stars on 45" phenom by nearly a decade.

[RGMike]

The late Mr Levert with "Casanova".

[RGMike]

baby, wooooo!  Sylvers, "Hot Line".

"I asked the CIA
If it was OK
to use their private phone."

[RGMike]

on VIP: The Blow Monkeys' delightful "Diggin' Your Scene" soundalike followup, "It Doesn't Have To Be That Way".

[RGMike]

Jackie Wilson, singing an ode to a woman named "Soul Galore" -- Pussy's sister, apparently.

[RGMike]

Damn! one of the early versions of "I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down" --sounds like Sam & Dave, and it's much much slower than the Elvis Costello cover.

[RGMike]

Billy Stewart's swingin' version of "Secret Love".  Who needs Doris Day?

[RGMike]

another original: Ann Peebles, "I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down".

[RGMike]

OMG -- I never knew "Sweet Soul Music" was a re-write of a Sam Cooke song called "Yeah Man":

Do you like good music
crazy 'bout music
any old music
yeah, yeah
do you like all the dances
you crazy 'bout the dances

[RGMike]

DAY-um! Della Reese, decades before the sanctimony of Touched by an Angel, doin' a naughty li'l ditty called "If It Feels Good Do It"!

[RGMike]

it's a KCDX kinda Wednesday.  Here's a rather dark tune called "Traveling Underground" by Stories -- new to me, in fact the only 3 tracks of theirs I've ever heard were the McCartney-clone "I'm Comin' Home" (from '72), "Brother Louie" and its follow-up, "Mammy Blue".  This is very different.
