And then gets all flustered when he said "shit" while talking about some pilot that was flying around Ireland with half a wing on his plane.

And here's the first of the two versions Ali asked for--wonder if he'll slip in the other one later?

"'cause if I was in your blood/then you wouldn't be so ugly..."

Kid Creole, "Annie I'm Not Your Daddy".  Wonderful stuff.

Sweeney's on a helluva run: The Records' Starry Eyes, Bowie's Suffragette City, then Oasis and Blur tunes that I didn't know but ruled, then the Kinks' Til The End of the Day, and now Chuck Berry's Sweet Little Sixteen.

Weren't they related to Bram Tchaikovsky?  This rings a bell in my dim memory.

Damn, I didn't listen to him today...tho' the promised Birthday salute to Percy (he's 57 tomorrow) sounded tempting.  He said something about new Simple Minds too (?).

WLNG nuggets o' the day: Cher, "Bang Bang", followed by Jerry Butler, "Never Gonna Give You Up".  "Girl, you're usin' me like a carpenter uses a tool...".  Really, Jerry? Do tell!

ETA:  OMGWTF! they followed Jerry Butler with The Royal Guardsmen's "Baby Let's Wait", their lovely non-Snoopy hit, and the Grassroots' "Heaven Knows".  What an amazing radio station.

Similar sound -- the mighty 1979 New Wave 12-string-guitar trilogy:

Records, "Starry Eyes"
Bram T, "Girl of My Dreams"
Shoes, "Too Late"

Who needs Roger McGuinn?

Well, let me start the groveling.  Does anyone have this?  BTW, anyone else besides POC need Jevetta's "Calling You"?  I got it on ebay.

All three of those are on the Rhino Poptopia 70s collection, which is sadly out of print.

Right now Sweeney's playing a couple of tracks from the new Stones record, neither of which is the one KFOG's had in rotation. One was pretty good delta Blues number, the other is more of a power ballad kind of thing, not as good (but better than Has Anybody Seen My Baby?)

TANC part LXXXVII:

Now Sweeney's playing the Modern Lovers' Roadrunner. Def. a precursor to punk.

That song was a HUGE "turntable hit" on NYC's WNEW-FM -- the version from Beserkeley Chartbusters; I believe Mr Richman has recorded it multiple times.  I've run hot-and-cold on him over the years, there's a fine line between "innocently childlike" and "moronic" and he crosses it from time to time (I have the same complaint about some of the B-52s catalog) but "RoadRunner" is a classic. Especially when I'm driving past the Stop'N'Shop with the radio on.
