nice CG surprise: the Byrds' "Chestnut Mare", which was a decent-sized hit in the UK.

Caught the end of a Pryor bit called The Eulogy (so said Judge in the backsell--I don't know Pryor's records that well) and as you predicted, Judge promised more as the day progresses.

ETA: Their stream is buffering occasionally. It was bad at first, got better, but now seems to be slipping. Dammit.

Judge plays white people too!  Gino Vanelli,"I Just Wanna Stop". Nicest surprise of the afternoon.

He played the BeeGees earlier, one of the hits from SNF but I can't recall which--Night Fever maybe?

A new channel of completely indie rock -- most of whom are from the St. Louis area, if that's of any interest to Mshray:

on CG, the Rubettes, "I Can Do it", which sounds a bit like Queen of all things -- would that Freddie had covered it.

My CG highlight (so far): Paul Young's cover of  "Love of the Common People", originally the Winstons' follow-up to "Color Him Father".

Here's a couple stations I've been listening to of late for indie rock, one a community station from Loyola U. in Chicago, the other a web-only streaming outfit from right here in SF:

http://somafm.com/

(SOMAfm has several channels like trance and ambient beats that I can pass on, but the Indie pop rocks! channel is pretty cool.)

I'm trying their "Xmas in Frisko" channel... I'm hearing a "duet" of "Rudolph" featuring the Chipmunks and Rudolph himself (sounds like the guy who did the voice on the TV special). WTF?!?

ETA: This Xmas channel has everything from Snoop Dogg to the Carpenters.  pretty amazing so far.

back to "Xmas in Frisko"... Shemeikia Copeland, "Stay a Little Longer, Santa".  Doesn't she know he only "comes" once a year? :wink:

I love the title of his LP: "This Ain't No White Christmas!"  And now a reggae "Happy Xmas (War is Over)".  And a ganja New Year!

OK, I'm tuned in now.  A swinging' loungy trinket presumably called "Christmas Is Here Again."

I guess the gothic structure of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" makes it irresistible for a prog-rock makeover.  Dunno who this is -- Soma's playlist doesn't ID the artist -- but I'm impressed with the sheer bombast of this.

I missed that -- lunchtime -- but hope you've stuck around for "RuPaul the Red-Nosed Drag Queen". And why is her nose, uh, red?  Honey, lets not GO there!

this "12 Days of Kwaanza" is pretty hilarious too.  

My cubicle-mate at work has been blasting KOIT's awful same-30-Xmas-songs-endlessly-repeated format for the past week; she's off this afternoon and this is a welcome antidote.

YAY! the Ventures! one of my fave Xmas LPs of all time.

I just realized that was "Rodney", from the ABC sitcom of the same name.

somebody doing a great Karen Carpenter imitation on Bob River's "Flu Ride".  I used to hate Bob Rivers but I must say he's really learned his craft.

John Denver & the Muppets! Awwwwwwwww....

followed, unfortunately, by Madonna's painfully bad cover of "Santa Baby".

Tee Hee.

They just played Weird Al's brilliant "Xmas at Ground Zero", written long before 9/11 but more timely than ever.  And the melody's an interpolation of "Holly Jolly Xmas".

Segue of the day: South Park's "Xmas in Hell" into Marie bleeeping Osmond ferchrissakes, doing "Blue Xmas".  If only she'd been listening.

and then a Hendrix parody, "HoliDaze". "'scuse me, I got gifts to buy!"

Anyone catch the Staple Singers cover of T. Heads' Slippery People? A new one on me, I think--although the arrangement was a dead copy of the original, hearing their vocals instead of D. Byrne made it all the more soulful.

that came out in the late '80s; I still have a copy of the 45. It is a fave cover of mine.
