CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 12/17/07

[RGMike]

Gotta love KPOO's DJ Marilynn -- from a soulful version of "Little Drummer Boy" (Take 6, maybe?) to the theme from Lost in Space! Danger, Will Robinson!

[RGMike]

Hoo Lawd! Judge leads off with the Jacksons, "Lovely One". Go on wit' yo' BAD self!

[RGMike]

A Barry White song that's new to me: "Sheet Music" (as in, "between the...", get it?)

[RGMike]

Wonder Country: Judge plays the Stevie-goes-Twang of "I Ain' Gonna Stand For It", one of my fave forgotten singles of his.

[RGMike]

One I surely haven't heard since the '80s: "Murphy's Law" by Cheri , complete with chipmunk/Smurf/munchkin voices chanting "Got it all together, don'cha baby".

[RGMike]

OMFG! Miss Ross (she da boss) wants "Muscles" -- another one I haven't heard in ages.

[RGMike]

KPOO's Monday nite Oldies guy is doing his annual Xmas show. Fab stuff, including "Christmas Vacation" by a VERY young-sounding Mavis Staples. And of course, oodles of Darlene Love!

[RGMike]

"He was roly
He was poly
and I said
'Holy Moly!'"

Kurtis Blow on somafm's fab Xmas feed.

Decided to check out the 'BCO holiday channel, but was a little dismayed that I had to click thru like 3 windows before the player actually launched. Bad user experience, people. glad to hear the SOMA folks have their Xmas channel up again this year. Will probably check it out later.

CG's retro-chart show this week is from Dec 1983 (Paul Young is the guest), and here's Barry Manilow chewing some of Jim Steinman's leftover MeatLoaf: "Read 'em and Weep" -- haven't heard this since it was a (moderate) hit.

Highlight of this chart: Tracey Ullman's Doris Day cover, "Move Over Darling", a big hit in the UK, but never a single in the US afaik.

[Alicat]

Found an accuradio station, rock, deep cuts,
"Go Deep"
Nearly 3,000 classic gems you almost never hear anymore... It's radio for the Classic Rock aficionado!

now hearing Spaceball Ricochet [Unplugged] 
 T. Rex: The Essential Collection  1972

Gaz should def check out this countdown while it's avail on-line (thru Saturday): the #1 song is The Flying Pickets' a capella cover of Yaz's "Only You".

[RGMike]

Best wacky Xmas tune of the day: "The 12 Drugs of Xmas" by the Mushroom tabernacle Choir.

"...and a tab of Yellow Sunshine LSD..."

[RGMike]

Hearing Gary Glitter's "Another Rock'n'Roll Xmas" reminds me:The Sharks have started using his music at games again -- did the NHL un-ban him?
