out of left field: The Wannabes and the Jigaboos (from the sndtk of School Daze).

and OMG -- followed by the Clark Sisters, "You Brought the Sunshine", which I haven't heard since it was a WBLS playlist staple in the early '80s.

one of Judge's rare clunkers: Band of Gold's "Love Songs Are Back Again", a lame (and endless) "medley" record with soundalikes for the Stylistics, Blue Magic, the Manhattans etc singing snippets of hits.  Sheer torture.

I was VIP'ing this afternoon.  Heard the original "See Saw" -- Don Covay?  Whoever it was, someone should tell him that see saws don't go "up, down, all around" unless they're broken.

Stunner of an obscurity: "Let Our Love Grow Higher" by Eula Cooper.  She's a little high-strung but oh those congas, oh those strings.

Both major faves of mine, especially the Gore sunshine pop (written by Marvin Hamlisch!).

"Susan" was a huge fave of mine when I was, what, 13? Didn't hear the "loong" version (not that much longer, actually) till sometime later. The song itself sounds like it was written with the Four Seasons in mind, doncha think?

Okay, I'm listening to KCDX now, Beatles "Piggies" is on & before that they played:

3:14 pm - Fleetwood Mac - Sands Of Time
3:21 pm - Dire Straits - Lady Writer
3:25 pm - Jimi Hendrix - The Wind Cries Mary
3:28 pm - Dr.John - Hugh Smith Medley
3:31 pm - Steppenwolf - It's Never Too Late
3:34 pm - Bowie, David - Space Oddity

When I first looked at their website they had recently played a song by Mason Proffitt other than Two Hangmen.  If that ain't the definition of ECLECTIC then I don't know what is.

Oooh, proxy for Beej & Ali, "Back In The Saddle Again"

KCDX:

3:53 pm - Cutting Crew - I've Been In Love Before

Say wha?

Saw 'em open for the Bangles at the Greek in '89 or thereabouts.  Enh.  Well at least it's not "I Just Died In Your Arms".

BTW, the quality of the stream (48kbps vs. pirate KPIG @ 128kbps) is pretty miserable.

KCDX just now:

10:35 am - Ray LaMontagne - How Come
Sweet, a Ray LaMontagne track that isn't "Trouble"!

and:
10:39 am - Genesis - I Can't Dance
Oh man, love this track.  Remember the goofy video of the trio dancing in step.  Pity it's never showed up on KFOG, not even in 10@10, as far as I can tell...

Wow, this is VERY interesting and I'm sorry I'll miss it:

CG is doing an A-Z on Monday of great songs that "you'll never believe did not make the Top 30" when they were hits. Cool idea.

CGSS flashback: Shalamar's "Uptown Festival", the original "medley record" featuring short versions of a buncha Motown classics with soundalike singers, set to a dance track, Circa 1977.

ETA: followed by another not-since-the'70s track, Brecker Bros, "Sneakin' Up Behind You".

and now En Vogue, givin' to the needy, but not the greedy!
