CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 8/17/09
« on: August 17, 2009, 01:24:13 PM »
Judge in a mellow mood: a soul cover of "Make it with You" (not sure whose; there are several) and then he dredges up the 5-D's "Love's Lines Angles & Rhymes".

"Cylinders of hope turning and yearning
 Into pendulums of weary hesitation"

er... huh?

OMGWTF!  an early-'70s J-5 soundalike doing a delightful cover of "How can You mend a broken Heart?", replete with spoken passages ("somebody tell me how to put the pieces back together again!").  I've heard this before but can't remember the name (I'll look it up tonite). A lost gem.

For those looking for a Triple-A that's more adventurous than KFOG... there's "The River" in Northampton Mass.  Not much Feist and no Jazn Mrazzzzzz thatI can see:

Never understood why she adopted the first-person conceit in the first verse - and then ditched it in the third.  A for singing, D for interpretation.
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”

'LNG gem of the day: the Ronettes' fab orig version of "I Can Hear Music", which you almost never hear.  Oh Ronnie, I (heart) you.

And a newly discovered mondegreen: Ronnie says "I hear the music, hold me tight", but in the Beach Boys' version, I thought they were singing "I hear the music all the time".

Holy crap! NTM lost '70s bubblegum from The Sugar Bears (created for a cereal ad campaign): "You Are the One".

wow -- 'LNG plays several pre-GrassRoots versions of "Live For Today" including the Italian version! (by a Brit group called the Rokes who sound rather Kinks-y.)  And then it was recorded by the Skopes and The Living Daylights (the LD's version was apparently a top ten hit in a few markets). Amazing.

dang, was all excited to listen online, but apparently it's a corporate site that want to market that format over the airwaves.  I would listen, but resent (just a little) the whole idea of some songs I like being shoehorned into the "cheezy" category.   But that's how stupid (and afraid) radio/pop culture marketing has become: we're reluctant to admit we like something, and instead have to be all ironic and sh*t so we can still remain cool.  I like cheese!

yeah, I was hoping for a "listen live" link too. I can't imagine anyone carrying it as their main format -- maybe on weekends, but not 24/7.

perfect antidote to the generally uninteresting sets today: the KYA retro stream. Donovan, looking thru crys-tal spek-tickles.
