KHUM/CG/KPOO/etcetcetc for the week of 4/23/07
« on: April 24, 2007, 12:31:13 PM »
well, I'm listening with the speaker turned down low (so far so good) and KCDX treats me to Procol Harum's "In the wee Small Hours of sixpence", which I haven't heard in decades.

I'm also happy to report that the KPOO player actually plays on the new work computer.

"some spade said, 'rock'n'rollers... you're all the same...'"

I took a Mott the Hoople best-of to the gym Sunday, and this was one of the fab tracks we heard. I tried to explain to my wacky straight friend who's into all things gay that "All the Young Dudes" is one of the gayest songs ever, and that Ian Hunter was metrosexual 35 years before the word was invented, but he wasn't buying it.

I've never heard it, though I know it was a Top 20 chart hit in '72.  What's it sound like?  I've never even heard a description of it!

Glad your new gig has the added perk of improved net radio listening!

It's kinda country-rock-ish (banjos & stuff). Think: the Stampeder's "Sweet City Woman" meets "Put Your hand in the Hand".

CG plays Freddie Mercury's version of "The Great Pretender".  Laughing and Gay, indeed!

On KCDX: Zep brings my lunch hour to a superb climax with "Tangerine".

WLNG Nugget o' the day: Frankie & the Seasons tellin' it to the rain.  Tell it, baby!

After seeing Jersey Boys last week I immediately ordered a fab 4S best-of.

And here's Dionne, doing "Promises Promises", title tune from the B'way musical. Love those horns!

Trivia I may have asked before: "Promises Promises" was a musical-ization of what Oscar-winning film?

And here's Andy Kim's underrated cover of "Baby I Love You". C'mon baby na-na-na-na-na-na-nah!

My second favorite of their songs, after "C'mon Marianne."  (I'm weird that way.)  Psychedelic solo!

Well, my all-time 4S fave remains "Opus 17" -- an unapologetically old-school production in the midst of psychedelic '67.  But "Marianne" is up there too.  And I love Donny Osmond's very faithful cover.

CGSS plays Miss Millie Jackson, her man is a sweet man. Guess he's never seen that LP cover of Millie on the potty.

The WLNG jock who just played "Perfect Way" pronounced the artist as "screechy poleechy".  Yeeshy.
