KHUM/CG/KPOO/etcetcetc for the week of 2/19/07
« on: February 19, 2007, 08:13:22 PM »
I was "oot 'n' aboot" today, luckily I brought my Walkman and heard both 10@10 and a good 2 hours worth of Judge's show -- he had a SERIOUS Gloria Gaynor jones goin' on -- tracking sides of LPs. "Never Can Say Goodbye/Reach Out" and "Casanova Brown/Do it Yourself/How High The Moon"... I seriously thought she might've died!

The latest on VIP Radio:  Sadly, the website is down, the link takes you to the web-design company that did the VIP site.  But another UK radio news site

http://www.radiotoday.co.uk/news.php?extend.1645.8

says they've been off-the-air due to "serious illness" -- apprently Kev Roberts, the lead voice and Program Director, is not well. And then an Update says they'll be "back soon"; so then why pull the website down?  Odd.

'erman's 'ermits. "No Milk Today"

"the bottle stands forlorn
a symbol of the dawn"

Another great Graham Gouldman lyric.

TANC: Bob mentioned this morning, when he played "Pleasant Valley Sunday", that the B-side was "Words" -- and here it is on KOMY.

rare 10cc on CG: "Donna" (not the Richie Valens tune), their first hit single, a #2 from late '72 that I don't think I've ever heard -- sort of a '50s parody and (Gaz will be shocked to hear me say) pretty lame and inconsequential.  I always assumed "Rubber Bullets" was their first as 10cc (they were called Hot Legs in 1970).

Is that what the line means?  I've assumed so for years but I've also been accused of my share of willful misreads.
