JJ on the case: Lou Rawls, don'choo be wearin' yo' goulashes in bed!

"you put the hurt on me! you SOCKED it to me mamma!" sez Isaac Hayes.

and an hour later on WDAS, Lou's back -- but it's a new day, babies!

I tuned into WDAS.  They play good stuff! 

Is it me, or does the traffic reporter have a really word clipped kind of pronunciation style?  is that a Philly cadence filtered through broadcast standard accent or something?  Part of it must be I'm not familiar with local terminology (like "Hospital curve" -- we know what that is, but an outsider might be thrown off track), so I'm trying to decipher her vocal shorthand and I lose the flow of meaning.

she def swallows some of her words, and I had to do some serious Googling to figure out what "the skookle" is -- turns out it's "Schuykill" (Dutch, I guess) and it's both a river and an expressway.



But they play some awesome stuff -- some overlap with JJ on KPOO but also some serious unique-to-Philly obscurities.
