CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 11/10/08

[RGMike]

Not sure if anyone out there can hear Pirate Cat Radio, but they are a pirate (duh) station at 87.9 FM.  They also stream from their website (http://piratecatradio.com/).

Thanks for the tip -- I'll check 'em out after 10@10.

FYI, I get an error message when I try to open their player -- and it's WMP, normally totally compatible with my work PC.

TANC: after hearing the New Seekers' version from Casey this wknd, here's Melanie's orig "Look What They Done To My Song" on KCDX.

If only Piaf had lived to record this!

ugh, well, it wasn't meant to be, maybe for a good reason...?

recent songs:

Weavers "Kisses Sweeter Than wine"
Tom Waits "Sea Of Love"
Templars "War On the Streets"
Meteors The Stranglers  - Go Buddy Go (Live)
Slits - FM

it's, uh ... eclectic

TANC: Just tuned in to the archived Idiot's Delight from last weekend over on WFUV.com, and Vin led the set with Todd's Just One Victory. Nice. If anything else of note pops up I'll comment over on the Internet Radio thread for this week, but thought it bore mentioning here 'cuz of the Todd reference.

thanks for the reminder, I always forget to check out Scelsa, and with CGSS gone, I have some listening-hours to fill with something other than WLNG or 'CDX.

ETA: I moved this over from the 10@10 thread; a fab show so far -- Vin's playing Beethoven's "Song of Joy"... in German!

Yikes, that was close. I just posted a bunch of the songs he's played so far, then realized you were listening so deleted the "spoiler." Looks like I'm about half an hour ahead of you.

actually, that woulda been OK -- I went looking for his playlist but apparently he hasn't posted one since early September!

This is a fan site that has Vin's setlists, but they're a week behind on the FUV show too:

Vin just played something that sounded very Airplane-y, but definitely newer. I'm jonesing for the backsell to find out who it was. Followed that with Leonard Cohen's Sail On.

What I posted and then deleted included Jackie Wilson, Michael Franti, Maria Muldaur (a great cover of Yes We Can Can), Johnny Nash, and the Beethoven.

The one frustrating thing about the FUV archive stream is that you can't pull the "seek" bar back to replay a section, although you can pause, which is better than the CG archives.

Turned out to be a recent Jefferson Starship release (under Kantner's guidance): Jefferson's Tree of Liberty, and the song was "Wasn't That A Time." Need to look this up. Gaz, can you cast any light on this?

[Gazoo]

Weavers "Kisses Sweeter Than wine"

This is one of the songs the Jefferson Starship covered on their new Jefferson's Tree of Liberty.  Paul seemed to be having a lot of fun on it.

OK, tell me you'd read my two posts directly preceding this one. Otherwise, it's a MAJOR jinx.

Major jinx it is - I'd not seen your post.

And this is my first time hearing this "Wasn't That a Time", JS-style -- and I'm loving it.

Holy flaming mother of pop (argot)! Scelsa just played a nearly-unrecognizable Southside Johnny, on a new album of big-band-style covers of Tom Waits songs! (I thought it was Dr John or somebody like that.) Beats the heck outta Scarlet Jo, that's fer sure.

Ahem!

Nobody beats the heck out of Scarlett Jo, not while I'm here.

But a lot of guys beat, er, well, you know.    But seriously, that SSJ track blew me away.
