this is interesting:
http://vipradio.net/
It's a European classic-soul music channel that launches tomorrow (2/14). I'll be checking it out for sure.
-
Thank the LAWD for KPOO on Monday!
BTW, for those who require the "opposing viewpoint" on V-Day, check out this week's Little Steven show.
-
wow, Ree-Ree's version of "Tracks of My Tears" -- I've never heard this before.

Judge in the middle of an Alicat Boogie Spectacular:
"Boogie Oogie Oogie"
"Boogie Nights"
"Boogie Wonderland"

and the disco hour continues with "Born To Be Alive", "Disco Lady" and, somewhat surprisingly, "YMCA"!
Hope Ali's listening.

talk about switching gears: from disco to "serious" rap ("The Message", "Survival", etc).
and some classic blaxploitation trailers too: Scream Blacula Scream, "Coffy -- she'll CREAM ya!" and something with Fred Williamson called (I swear) Boss Nigger (!) ... don't remember that one.
and then JB's "King Heroin"! Lawd Ha'mercy!
-
"Cherchez la Femme" Misogyny with a disco beat!

A 1985 Soul Patrol would be quite a welcome thing:
Ready for the World, "Oh Sheila"
Mary Jane Girls, "In My House"
The Time, "Jungle Love"
Tamara and the Seen, "Everybody Dance"
Lisa-Lisa & Cult Jam w/ Full Force, "I Wonder If I Take U Home"
Jesse Johnson f/ Sly Stone, "Crazay"
Midnight Star, "Operator"
Klymaxx, "The Men All Pause"
Prince, "I Would Die 4 U"
Stevie Wonder, "Part-Time Lover"

Hoo Lawd! that's a fabulous list. I've lobbied Dave for an '80s SP in the past to no avail.

tail end of JJ's Tues morning Soul Hour: dunno if he's been consistently V-Day-themed, but the J-5's version of "Who's Lovin' You" is sounding MY-T-Fine.

Ain't no way it tops TTD's cover!

well, no, but the J-5's version is an early career high point.

Knocked me out, Marvin Gaye's "Right On" from one of my all-time favorite albums. Totally familiar to me, but rarely heard on the radio.

CG Gem: the Korgis, "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime".
-
WLNG Nugget o' the Day: Marianne Faithfull, "Summer Nights" (NOT the one from Grease). A little ditty from '65, I'd never heard this before. The intro is almost identical to the intro to the Theme from M*A*S*H.
-
Nugget #2: the Wonder Who (aka the 4 Seasons), "Don't Think Twice", one of the goofiest covers ever.
a-why babe, a-why babe?
-
Listening to Austin's KGSR today, on the off-chance that they might play that Willie Nelson gay cowboy song. Their in-lieu-of-commercials instrumentals are a tasty mix of bluegrass and Larry Carlton-type stuff.
-
KGSR just segged from Bonnie R's "Thing Called Love" to JB's "Sex Machine".
Taaaayste.... o'piana!

News from the R.A.I.N. newsletter:
http://www.kurthanson.com/archive/news/021506/index.asp
Bill Graham's legacy as a pioneer of the modern rock concert has been on display for decades through his legendary concert venues and concert artwork. Now, Wolfgang's Vault, an archivist company that controls the rights to much of Graham's artistic estate, is offering rare and exclusive audio of concerts from a variety of Graham's venues and shows through Wolfgang's Vault Radio.
Complete with stage banter, audience cheers and equipment malfunctions, Vault Radio streams tracks from legendary concerts at Graham's venues such as the Fillmores in New York City and Los Angeles and the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. Clips from concerts by Carlos Santana, Bruce Springsteen and Jimi Hendrix, among others, stream around the clock. Wolfgang's Vault streams all of their audio in a CD-quality signal, so the live sound of the shows, which according to the website has been left unaltered and unedited since the time of recording, comes through with exceptional clarity.
Vault Radio's player is simple but elegant. Concert poster art from the show that is currently playing and photos of the artist are the main visual attraction. Track and concert date information and links to other player products and info about the artist and concert fill out the player window. Since Vault Radio streams a determined program of tracks, the player doesn't allow for any sort of skipping around in the playlist, but the serendipity of the tracks is entertaining none the less.The streams are hosted commercial-free, and the line-up of featured shows changes regularly according to the site's programming notes.
The rest of the site is incredibly rich with history and details about Graham's life's work, samples of the famous artwork associated with Graham's shows, and an in-depth timeline that focuses on the musical evolutions that took place on Graham's storied stages.
Wolfgang's Vault makes for something of an online museum tour, and the addition of Vault Radio is an excellent complement to the visual and historical content of the pages. A resource of this magnitude is a real treat to fans interested in recreating a whole musical experience from these periods. Vault Radio does a very commendable job of creating fascinating artifacts of the time, and of educating listeners while providing a very entertaining listening experience.

cross-thread JINX!
(see my post under "New Music")
Meanwhile KGSR just played live Little Feat, "Fat man in the Bathtub" -- did KFOG even play that during A-to-Z?
-
OMGWTF! they're playing Billy Bragg, "Valentine's Day is Over". THAT'S impressive.
-
and now it's Betty Lavette with a killer cover of Joan Armatrading's "Down to Zero". This is current and in regular rotation there -- Hello, KFOG?
-
OMGWTF! they're playing Billy Bragg, "Valentine's Day is Over". THAT'S impressive.
Coincidentally, or perhaps not (gee, ya think?), a number of Billy Bragg's albums are being rereleased with the obligatory bonus tracks on Yep Roc. The first batch come out next Tuesday, details here:

This Wolfgang's Vault radio is amazing indeed. In the past hour or two, I've heard the Staple Singers doing For What It's Worth, an early version of Springsteen doing Blinded by the Light from BCT in '73, Miles Davis at Fillmore East, Cream doing Tales of Brave Ulysses, Elvis Costello doing (I Don't Want to go to) Chelsea, a 66 version of the Airplane doing 3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds, to name just a few, and right now I'm hearing Stevie Wonder burn thru a take of Signed, Sealed, Delivered from Winterland in '73.
I gotta get set up to capture streams off the web--this is too good to miss.

wow, that sounds great -- I have Brewing Up, Life's a Riot, Talking w/the Taxman, Workers Playtime and what I guess is a US version of Live & Dubious (a 6-song EP) all on vinyl, and Don't Try This at Home and The Internationale on CD. I've seen him 3 times, twice in NY and once here at the Warfield in '91 (where his encore was an extended jam of "Groove is in the Heart"!). I am astounded that his song "Sexuality" is not a staple of Dave's annual Pride Set.
-
I've seen him a few times more recently (since 98 or so) and can report that his live show is still as entertaining as they come--part music, part monologue, all political. He's stayed true to his ideals for the length of his career, a remarkable enough thing in itself. (And his band, the Blokes, features none other than ex-(Small) Face Ian McLagan on keyboards.)
-
CG Thursday: early (Green-era) F.Mac, "Man of the World" -- I don't think I've ever heard this.
-
A Gaz fave on CG: Macca, "Coming Up".
And another one new to me: CCS, (no, not CCR, CCS) "Tap Turns on the Water". They had 4 or 5 UK hits in the early '70s, the most famous of which was a cover of Zep's "Whole Lotta Love".
-
Oh my! Herb Alpert, "This Guy's in Love With You" (mondegreened as "The Sky's in Love with You" by a generation of Top 40 listeners).
Followed by Ree-Ree, whose shawl is in the lost'n'found again.
-
a lovely way to close out my CG time today: Andy Fairweather-Low, "Wide-Eyed and Legless".
-
WLNG Nugget o' the Day: oh by cracky, it's Neil Sedaky, "Oh Carol".
-
CG Thursday: early (Green-era) F.Mac, "Man of the World" -- I don't think I've ever heard this.
This is a great track. A big hit in UK, but originally just for freaks like me over here (buying the import Greatest Hits vinyl (with Dragonfly!)) and a nice chunk of the Peter Green legend, as far as his mental state goes. If you get the chance, listen carefully to the production, the vocals, and the guitar. Quite intense.
-
Chaka on CG. Bring on the soul.
awww. Poor MJ. Not being allowed solo custody. No shit!
-
Thank God it's CGSS!
Freddie's on the corner now! And it's the looooooooooooong version!
Don't be misled/Just think of Fred

Dug the Mayfield, and that Marvin and Tammi tune was nice too, but man, is the CG stream lousy today. Echo-ey, out of phase, just not as good as usual.

listening to the CG Rock Show for the first time in yonks -- and lo, TRB's "2-4-6-8 Motorway". Tuffest record ever by an openly gay artist?
-
JJ in da house on KPOO. Smooth Smokey, "Tell Me Tomorrow".

Bob Mould might take exception to that, depending on your definition of "tuff." But 2-4-6-8 def. rules.

Kinks fans alert: Little Steven's show this week revolves around an interview with Ray Davies; many Kinks tunes and cuts from Ray's new solo disc. A must-listen.
Meanwhile, some gems uncovered on JJ's '70s Soul Jam Sat nite on KPOO:
1) a pre-"Everybody Plays the Fool" Main Ingredient doing a lovely cover of Curtis Mayfield's "I'm So Proud".
2) Lamont Dozier's "Why Can't We Be Lovers?"
3) Margie Joseph (best-known for "Xmas Gift" on the Stax/Atlantic holiday compilation), doing "What's Come Over Me?" with backing vox by Blue Magic
4) Eighth Day's "You've Got to Crawl (Before You Can Walk)", their follow-up to "She's Not Just Another Woman"
5) Detroit Emeralds, "Do Me Right"
6) Millie Jackson, "Ask Me What You Want"
If you're anywhere near a radio on Sat nite, you GOTS to be checkin' out JJ!
