KHUM/CG/KPOO/KRSH/KCDX/VIP/LNG etc week of 10/30/06

[ggould]

before the election stuff kicks in, doing the Motown Monday thing on KHUM.  Slow Dancing to Heatwave's "Always and Forever"

DJ Marilynn ending her show of spoooky soul tunes with a very soulful, gospel tinged version of Cat Stevens' Moonshadow. Now this is def. a new one on me.

Btw, KPOO now has a photo gallery page up so you can see what your fave KPOO jock looks like. Judge is younger than I'd have guessed.

Now Judge just rocked a tune I'm sure I haven't heard since probably 1979 at the latest: AWB's Queen of My Soul, and it was the l-o-o-o-o-o-o-ng version!!! Nice!!!

Sorry I missed that one. I've been in & out of the car, but it sounded like Judge was having his usual stellar afternoon. Highlight for me: Denroy Morgan's "I'll Do Anything for You", late '81 soul hit that never really crossed over. And it's always a thrill to hear InDeep's "Last Nite A DJ Saved My Life".   And now it's his weekly tribute to SOLAR records, the Whispers "Some Kinda Lover" sounded fine  -- another one I hadn't heard since it was a hit.

The woman who follows Judge on KPOO is also doing a Halloween-themed show, starting with "I Scare Myself" (the Dan Hicks original).  

BTW I meant to mention Joel Selvin's show last nite, which featured 2 "official bootlegs", live LPs released only to radio stations.  The first was a Nils Lofgren set recorded in the Bay Area sometime mid-'70s that sounded great. "Back It Up", "Keith Don't Go", stuff like that. And then he played Lofgren doing his ode to the Washington Bullets (no, this wasn't the Clash song with that title -- this was a fan's tribute to the basketball team, new to me and quite the rarity). Next it was Southside Johnny live at NYC's Bottom Line circa '76 -- complete with a guest appearance by Ronnie Spector on "You Mean So Much To Me Baby".  THAT was a treat!

OMG! now the KPOO woman is playing Louis Prima & Keely Smith, "Old Black Magic"!

As I remember, a staple on KSAN, and really hot stuff.  I would certainly like to get a copy of that!

VIP's "Empire State Soul Hour" is doing another show revolving around the new Rhino R&B box. Ssssssssmokin!

[RGMike]

The TSU Toronados -- aka the backup band on Archie Bell & the Drells' "Tighten Up". Live'n'learn!

OMGWTF -- Lulu's on this Rhino box: her version of "Feelin' Alright" complete with Memphis horns and Duane Allman helping out.

[RGMike]

ReeRee with a rare alternate take of "Rock Steady".

[RGMike]

"Help Me Make Up My Mind", an obscure answer record to "Can I Change My Mind".  Damn!

[RGMike]

thank gawd for KCDX! Nilsson, the loooong version of "Jump Into the Fire". Spectacular.

[RGMike]

wow, Eagles' fab "Midnight Flyer".

[RGMike]

OMGWTFLOL! Peter Frampton's English White Boy rendition of "Signed Sealed & Delivered" -- haven't heard this since the '70s.
