1/11/11: sadly I have a 10am meeting so I didn't make any requests. Looks like Alicat will get her Flaming Ember, however.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

interestingly, tho' today is 1/11/11, no one's thought to do songs with "one" in the title. (tho' the Drive did number songs... yesterday)

I'd have rather ridden on the Westbound #9 than up around the bend for a TOTHK, but not bad.  I remember a nondescript hair metal band called Hanoi Rocks getting some Headbangers Ball MTV play with a pointless cover of it.

BOS to Nicholson!  I have a cassette mix somewhere with that bit coincidentally segueing into Santa Esmerelda's "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood."  One of my favorite inadvertences.

BOS2 to the Marmalade's Badfingeresque weepie "Reflections of My Life."  It was Dave Morey who introduced me to this - and to the band - way back in '96 or '97.

Yah, Badfingeresque, though I was thinking it was Holliesesque, especially in the harmony.  Nice tune.

So far 3 of the 4 tunes are One Hit Wonders, perhaps Reflections of today being 1/11/11??

per wikipedia, Reflections Of My Life was released in late 69, so I suppose this is one of those songs that could live in two different years.

nice harmonies.  for the next '67 set, I wouldn't mind hearing the Marmalade's I See The Rain
