Now I'm kinda craving the Sylvers or Sylvester. Maybe thoughts of Folsom made me want that.
I'm a slave to disco. Whip some on me.

One of my favorite things about WLNG is that their newscasts include recent local arrests: so-and-so was charged with DUI, etc.  And the classic, "the men were charged with patronizing a prostitute".  Wake up, guys -- hookers HATE to be talked down to; you should NEVER patronize them...

Ali if you're still around, I've switched over to poc's recommendation:

http://www.kpoo.com

some kinda Friday afternoon soul show... somebody (dunno who) doing Bread's "Make it With you" disco-style!

ETA: it was the Whispers -- and now Miss Jackson-If-Ya-Nasty, "Diamonds"!  Yeah baby!

Which reminds me, I was in the Andronico's on Irving last night a little past 10, and Sylvester's (You Make Me Feel) Mighty Real was on the store PA. Only in SF.  

(I'd have thought it was 10@10 if I hadn't just left the set playing in the car, and known it was still playing Low Rider.)

Play that funky Muzak, white boy...

Do they still even have Muzak any more? I know the company still exists, they provide "music services", but I mean in the sense of orchestral versions of the hits?  I remember being in a NY supermarket in 1983 and hearing a Montovani-esque take on "Hungry Like the Wolf" -- this was as the Duran Duran orig was still on the charts.

And the string-laden Percy Faith version of "Ballad of John & Yoko" is one of the great bad Beatle covers, right up there with Bing Crosby's "Hey Jude."
