KHUM/CG/KPOO/KRSH/KCDX/VIP/LNG etc week of 12/18/06

[RGMike]

an exceptionally clean-sounding copy of Augie Rios' "Mamacita (Donde Esta Santa Claus?)", which KFRC used to play to death every year, from a copy that sounded like it'd been to hell & back.

Eazy-e - Merry Muthaphuckin' X-mas

This X-rated rap Xmas stuff is stultifyingly juvenile, in a way the South Park, for example, is not. We've heard several so far today. Everybody's always getting their dick sucked under the Xmas tree. Sheesh.

M Smith (Aka The M) - X - Maz - N - The - Hood

tuning out in protest.  I'll hear the N-word enough when I go back to work, or when some white pseudo-hip DJ plays something at Amoeba!
 :lol:

[urth]

A nice relief from the above; Sammy Davis Jr. doing Mel Torme's signature The Christmas Song.

Eazy-e - Merry Muthaphuckin' X-mas

I was phreakin amazed. A late 20-something sits near me and I called her over to listen.

CG-ing today -- it's Dean's annual Xmas Jukebox with special guest, Santa himself, taking phone calls from adorable British tykes.  One little 3-year-old girl was named...

Paris.

Horrors! :roll:

They announced that this will be archived at the KCRW site, so if you missed it, you haven't missed it completely.

Some good interview segments--including one in which Yusuf's cell phone goes off during a question--hilarious!!

and his ringtone is "Death to the Infidels" :wink:

Just switched over to WLNG in time for Aretha's sublime "Winter Wonderland"

"...as we groo-oo-oo-oove by the fire!"

Followed by "Palisades Park" (!) and Mr Manilow, playin' hide-and-seek with hearts and always hurtin'.

[RGMike]

and now, OMFG, Dionne W.'s "This Girl's in Love With You", her distaff version of the Herb Alpert classic.

[RGMike]

"too bad
it was him that you trusted
too bad
but you can't be disgusted"

Smooth Smokey on 'LNG.

[RGMike]

Sheena Easton (the Petula Clark of the '80s) takes the "Morning Train" on 'LNG!

[RGMike]

WLNG is doing a 4-hour countdown of the "Top 60 Xmas Hits of All Time".  Darlene Love's Home Alone 2 track, "All Alone on Xmas" -- one of the great latter-day Xmas records.

[RGMike]

Buck Owens, "Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy", def in my all-time Xmas Top Ten.

[RGMike]

KRSH Soul Patrol is doing an hour of R&B Xmas. Great stuff.

"Mambo Santa Mambo" and "Back Door Santa"!

sadly, I missed the Staples' "Who Took The Merry..."

[RGMike]

the superb Ms. Darlene Love, "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)", Greatest. Christmas. Record. EVAH!

My season is complete...

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!![/size]
