Instant BOS, and perfectly suited to my present mood.  Like I said in another thread, this week's off to a bad start.

Has anyone here ever heard the Tempts' version?  Apparently they were competing on the charts with this version and lost soundly.

I had a feeling today's set would be whatever Dave had originally planned for Friday, before the last-minute-suggestion Potter/Magic set happened.  And I guess this is it.

It's an unofficial -- and highly welcome -- Soul Patrol after two tracks so far.  Especially welcome since the past three sets this a.m. have been white as ... well, white as Skynyrd.

I dunno if they competed; the Tempts wasn't a single afaik, at least not at the same time.  I don't have Whitburn handy.

More (overplayed) '70s soul: "Shaft". They say that cat Xenu is a bad Thetan mutha.

Chalk up one for the white folks. White chess-players, in fact. HM Yes.

"white queen" -- oh this is about chess? I thought they had just met Elton John for the first time and wrote a song about it.

Bowie's in Space!  VHM the Conchords.

This may be a Friday leftover, but it feels like a Monday autopilot set nonetheless.

Speak Dame Elton's name, and Dame Elton shall appear!

White folks are now up, 3-2--or 4-2 if you count Mary, Lou, and Ted.

VHM to this MTM ep.  Oh for the days of smart sitcom writing.  (I'm glaring at you, writers of "According to Jim, Everybody Loves the King of Queens.")
