KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 6/6/11
« on: June 06, 2011, 09:02:44 AM »
The Boardwalk plays Kim Weston's fantabulous "shoulda-been", "Helpless". Boy did Motown drop the ball on this one.

Nice surprise: the remake of Sonny & Cher's "Baby Don't Go" by Dwight Yoakam and (adequate for once) Sheryl Crow.  and another cover: marvin's "Come Get to This" as done by Joe... just ... Joe.

Judge seems to be absent today, but KPOO is still jammin' the '80s soul: Pebbles "Girlfriend" and Levert's fab "Casanova"...

...after which we REvert to the '70s and the Independents with "Leaving Me" and my never-get-tired-of-it fave, "Stoned Out of My Mind".

The Boardwalk treat of the morning: the 4 Tops' "Just can't Get You Out of My Mind", an early '74 single that inexplicably stiffed pop-chart-wise (it was the follow-up to "Sweet Understanding Love") -- one of 2 killer 45s of theirs in '74 that flopped; the other was "One Chain (Don't Make No Prison)" which was later covered by Santana.

and now one of my fave Smokey R rhymes: "has to be/catastrophe"

TANC: listening to this June 1980 retro-chart on Atlantic2NG, and here's Siouxie and the strawberry girl Christine.  Which was preceded by Stiff Little Fingers and the NTM "Nobody's Heroes".

Holy crap! Thin Lizzy, "Chinatown".  And it's followed by Lady T, "Behind the Groove"! Swoon!  "shake-ya-body, shake-ya-body, shake-ya-body, shake!"

and the Korgis' fab "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime". What a fine, varied chart this is.

when Rob Halford breaks the law, he really breaks the law!

and here's a NTM pop ditty: the Lambrettas with "D-a-a-ance".

back to the 1980 retro-chart -- Don MacLean is "Crying". Lovely and sadly underplayed even by "oldies" radio'

OMGWTFLOL: the #1 song in the UK that week in 1980 was the theme from M*A*S*H!!

TANC: listening to Scelsa's 6/4/11 show and he plays Beck's very nice cover this tune.
