YES YES!  Benson spun Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings' "Be Easy" at 8:45am to a good response from Morning Show and caller, who asked "Is the whole album this good?  Wow."


I'm so relieved to know that this kind of stuff still happens.


I've been meaning to get over to Amoeba to get a copy of this and maybe Dap Dippin' too. Btw, they're booked into Bimbo's on Dec. 5--methinks I gotta be there. Anyone else?


damn, it had to be on a "school night".

They are playing a new Iggles tune right now -- "Frail Grasp on the Big Picture".  Assuming it's new, anyway.

Two observations:  
1. when did the Iggles get a social conscience?
2. this song rocks.
and any fool knows
a dog needs a home
a shelter

I'm guessing it's a Henley composition -- he's always been the political one, tho' he tended to show it on his solo efforts rather than the group LPs.

Here's a good interview with Don Henley that gets into (1.):

jeez, 1st it's the goat, and now the Iggles.  Honestly, I didn't get what the hell Henley had to do with some new band called the Iggles until I put it all together!
Don't stand in the way of LOVE!

BTW, "Be Easy" was Big Rick's "buzz cut" tonight.

Just heard a promo for tomorrow's (Thursday) morning show, and they're having Grace Slick live in the studio. They didn't say what hour, but I'd guess 8am-ish. So don't say we didn't tell ya!

Woo-hoo, I'm off!  I will try and listen, though I do have yet another dentist visit.  The Airplane's also featured on the Drive' artist spotlight tomorrow -- interesting synergy there.

No, but Grace is doing duets albums with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss :wink:

Wish they'd thought to do that back in the day.  A Grace & Robert album, like Marvin & Diana.  She could squeeze his lemon and call it a hand grenade.

Hope Gaz caught this. I tuned in about 7:40 and immediately shot him an e-mail when I realized Grace was on.

I'm afraid I had to miss the whole thing - had a crown replaced.  Not feeling so great.  Eager to hear any deets - including why she was on in the first place.

ETA: Thanks for thinking of me for this!  Really appreciated.

Crown replacement isn't a painful thing in my experience -- did they give you bad gas?  Feel better, bub!
