Re: CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 6/16/08

[RGMike]

DJ Marilynn doin' her blues thang. KPOO's stream in good shape for the second Monday in a row.

[RGMike]

Judge promises live Commodores at 3pm. Meanwhile, Gloria Gaynor tells us 'bout "Casanova Brown" -- a looooong version that's new to me.

ETA: Followed by Dave fave "Do It Yourself" and "How High The Moon". Lawd!

[RGMike]

OMGWTFLOL-of-the-Month: Barry White doing "Louie Louie" ?!?

[RGMike]

Boy... versus Girl... in the World Series of Love! CGSS spins "U Got the Look"! Color me taken aback!

Boy... versus Girl... in the World Series of Love! CGSS spins "U Got the Look"! Color me taken aback!

and speaking of taken aback: Greg plays Ray Parker Jr's unjustly forgotten "I Don't Think That Man Should Sleep Alone"

[RGMike]

Decided to switch over to KCDX (first time in ages) and got Bruce's "E Street Shuffle", followed by Chrissie, "My City Was Gone".

[RGMike]

Don't think I've EVER heard this Outlaws song before: "Freeborn Man".

[RGMike]

Don't think I've EVER heard this Outlaws song before: "Freeborn Man".

followed -- OMFG -- by Steppenwolf's great, forgotten "Monster"! Still frighteningly relevant, unfortunately. And it's followed, appropriately, by shray fave Mason Proffitt, "2 Hangmen".

[RGMike]

Hoo Lawd! Sam & Dave's "Soul Sister Brown Sugar" is my fave forgotten single of theirs -- and yes, they gave Mick Jagger the "Brown Sugar" idea. 

[RGMike]

Dear gawd, I haven't heard this Engelbert H tune since '69!

[RGMike]

This Herman's Hermits tune "Something's Happening" is new to me (!)

[RGMike]

"you sip your Napoleon brandy... and you never get your lips wet"

Peter Sarstedt goes down like that vintage brandy.  What a fabulous lyric.

[RGMike]

I'm VERY pissed that they skipped over Nina Simone's "To Love Somebody", the one song in the Top Ten that I was truly dying to hear.  Well, ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bro'.

[RGMike]

Also new to me: Johnny Nash, "You Got Soul"
