KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 5/9/11

nice to be back listening to Judge. Brainstorm's fab orig version of "Lovin is Really my Game" always a treat. Ah believe in da boogie!

And now MJ & his brothas like the feelin' they get when they ridin' in a jet -- they Goin' Places!

ETA: Gladys' "Baby Don't Change Your Mind" is a highlight this hour. How this missed the Pop Top 40 in '77 is a mystery.

Damn, Judge loves Joe Tex's "Ain't Gonna Bump" -- it's his own personal Katrina.

OMFG: "Disco Lucy" -- the loooooooong version!

Rarity of the Day: Universal Robot Band, "Dance And Shake Yo' Funky Tambourine". I am not making that up.

[RGMike]

JJ kick-starts my day with Marvin & Tammi's "Onion Song".  Or is it Marvin & Valerie?

ooo: a Tops rarity  "Without The One You Love", a "Baby I Need Your Loving" clone.

Highlight: the Etta James version of "I Just Wanna Make Love To You".

Before I left for vacay, 1340 the Boardwalk was running promos for a new "outrageous" morning show that was set to premiere first week of May. Turns out it was... Don Imus' syndicated show. Which seems an odd choice for a station whose prime demographic is largely (tho' not exclusively) black.

[RGMike]

a lovely twin-spin on Hits of Yesteryear: Association's "Everything That Touches You" followed by Orpheus "Can't Find the Time". Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da!

OMFG: the original version of "Hush" by Billy Joe Royal, which never made it out of the boondocks.

[RGMike]

So I'm listening to Vin Scelsa's podcast from Sat April 30th. and his whole intro is about how April "comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb"... and he begins the show with -- you guessed it -- Genesis, "Lamb Lies Down..."

... only it's MARCH that "comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb" (or vice versa), Vin. So the entire set-up is false. Oops.

Listening to the KPOO Thurs morning Oldies show, and I guess I will continue if the KFOG stream is kaput. 

And lo, they play the Fuzz. **WHICH MEANS**... well, you know...

[RGMike]

Listening to that bluegrass show on the Virginia country station, and they're playing Doyle Lawson And Quicksilver doing a fiddle-and-banjo rave-up cover of Paul Simon's "Gone At Last". 

[RGMike]

Highlight of the morning on Radio de Sebb: Donna Summer's disco-ization of "Could It Be Magic" -- yes she took a Barry Manilow song and made it even gayer. No mean feat. "come... COME!!"

[RGMike]

Listening to that bluegrass show on the Virginia country station, and they're playing Doyle Lawson And Quicksilver doing a fiddle-and-banjo rave-up cover of Paul Simon's "Gone At Last". 

and today I'm shocked to hear a bluegrass version of Richard Thompson's "Vincent Black Lightning"!
