CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 4/13/09

[RGMike]

KPOO's DJ Marilynn is on some sort of world tour, but she left shows behind for playback.  Today there's a "money" theme for Tax Day.  If Ruth Brown can't sell it, she's gonna sit on it!

[RGMike]

Well, I know we won't get a new Tax Set from Dave, but for future reference: Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, "What If We All Stopped Payin' Taxes?"  Kudos to DJ Marilynn for playing this.

[RGMike]

Judge plays one of DeBarge's lovely early-'80s ballads, "Time Will Reveal". Swoon!

[RGMike]

KPOO's doin' some JB. James wants you to, er, taste his organ.

[RGMike]

Just 'cause Cher is leaving, she'll still be your dad. er -- what?  One of her best, and I still marvel at her refusal to change the gender.

[RGMike]

OMFG! Keith, with one of his follow-ups to "98.6", "Tell Me To My Face" --someone else did this too, but I'm drawing a blank.

ETA: oh of COURSE -- it's a Hollies tune. And Dan Fogelberg covered it too.

[Gazoo]

Well, I know we won't get a new Tax Set from Dave, but for future reference: Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, "What If We All Stopped Payin' Taxes?"  Kudos to DJ Marilynn for playing this.

I made it my blog song today, in lieu of Fred Wesley & the JBs' "I'm Payin' Taxes, What Am I Buyin'?"

PS: I totally agree re the gender bend of "You Better Sit Down, Kids."

[RGMike]

another OMGWTF: 'LNG plays the orig version of "Go Now"! Bessie Bankster (?)

[RGMike]

Holy crap: "Achy Breaky Heart" -- the guiltiest of Guilty Pleasures.

[RGMike]

another OMG flashback: Night's "If You Remember Me" -- has Josh Groban covered this?

and it's followed by Frankie Valli's forgotten "Girl You're Gonna Hurt Yourself", a sunshiny number that could easily have been covered by Spiral Starecase.

[RGMike]

WLNG often plays Mama Cass' "It's Getting Better" but this is the first time in ages I've heard anyone play "There's a New World Comin'", which (sadly) never made the Top 40. Quite a flashback.

[RGMike]

a lovely way to close the afternoon: Mercy's "Love (Can Make You Happy)".

[RGMike]

listening to the KYA re-creation, where the vintage commercials are even better than the tunes!

the Ms&Ps, gettin'  freaky-deaky down on Creeque.

[RGMike]

I can't be in LA, but I *can* go to "Indian Lake" with the Cowsills.

[RGMike]

A couple of real "wow"s from 'LNG: Gaz fave "1900 Yesterday" by Liz Damon's Orient Express and one of my fave Glen Campbell hits, Jimmy Webb's lovely "Where's The Playground, Suzie?"
