Hoo Lawd! Judge on KPOO plays "Aquaboogie".
-
ooo! the Time, "777-9311".

And finishes with Bop Gun. Must be a P-Funk tribute, cuz now there's a promo for Up for the Down Stroke.
If only it didn't keep buffering so goddam much.
-
23 positions in a 1-nite stand! Prince, "Gett Off!"
-
LL Cool J, "Boomin' System". Dang, haven't heard this since it was a hit.
Followed by Prince again, with the NPG. "Lay down your funky weapons"!
-
It's a Prince-fest! "Money Don't Matter 2 Night". Followed by "U Got The Look" w/Sheena! Color me taken aback!

"Money Don't Matter 2Night" was Prince's most underrated single. (His most underrated album track being "Dolphin.") My ears perk up every time I hear it, which isn't nearly often enough. Astute of him to call our wars exactly what they is (what they is, what they is) and clever to add "And u think u got it bad" as a sneering afterthought just to make sure nobody feels they're off the hook.
Need to get me the live versions of "U Got the Look" and "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man." DAMN!

gosh - i just had to download the diamonds and pearls album. i have it on cassette, but haven't listened to it in ages. you're right about "money" (and "dolphins" - guess i'll have to download the gold experience, too!).

Tuesday: VIP greets me with "#1 DJ" by Goody Goody -- can't remember the last time I heard this.
-
the obscurities that VIP continues to unearth are just amazing. Here's Tammi Terrell singing about her "Memory Chest". No pics of David Ruffin in there, presumably.
and here's somebody named JJ Barnes (?) doing a fast, uptempo cover of Ace's "How Long". Jammin'!
-
Checking out VIP for the first time today. And am greeted with a great cover of Ace's How Long. No idea who it is, but it works. Sounds like they are doing their best to emulate a 60s/70s American AM Top 40 station, right down to the jingles and baritone announcers. Methinks Capitol Gold is in for a fight. (Or is VIP strictly a web-based station?)

VIP will be a satellite-delivered station on Sky Digital, I believe. So they'll be all over Europe, presumably, as well as on the Web. I think March 15 is when they become official, with live deejays.
-
ooo! the Marvelettes, "Hunter Gets Captured...", which I haven't heard since Blondie's cover version bombed back in the early '80s.
-
Carrie Lucas doing a cover of Friends of Distinction's "Going in Circles".
-
The more I listen to this, the more I think they're borrowing heavily from the KFRC school of oldies radio--the announcers, the promos, the jingles, all sound very much like 'FRC prior to their format shift a few months back.
One thing tho--the VIP stream sounds really nice. Not CD quality, but not nearly as tinny as some web streams.

It's taken from the old Drake/Chenault style (CKLW, Dave's boyhood station, for one example). I hope the playlist is this varied and interesting and non-repetitive once they're "live". 'Cause it's pretty damn fab.
-
George McCrae's "I Can't Leave You Alone", which I heard for the very first time sat nite on KPOO... and here it is again. TANC!
-
ooh...a super groovy version of "baby, i love your way" on vip. i can't place the artist, though.
-
movin' & groovin' with "The Northern Soul Hall of Fame"!
It's only a Northern (Soul) Song. But this tune has nothing bright anout it.
-
Marvin & tammi, "The Onion Song", one of my fave duets of theirs, even tho' the lyrics make No. Sense. At. All.
Followed by Junior, "Too late" (not the Carole King song), his follow-up to "Mama Used to Say".
-
Robbie Dupree, "Steal Away", one of the best McDonald-era Doobs clones, raising the question, why doesn't Michael McD do an album of covers of that song, "He's So Shy", Frankie & the Knockouts' "Sweetheart", etc.
-
CG-ing today, and it's Christie, "San Bernardino", their follow-up to "Yellow River". I've never heard this -- nothing like Brits singing about California even tho' they've obviously never been there (First Class's hilarious reference to San Jose in "Beach Baby" is another example).
-
OMG! ABC "When Smokey Sings"!
-
Yipes! Jimmy James & The Vagabonds, doing their orig 1968 version of "Red Red Wine " (yes, 1968!) ... as a ballad, sounding sorta like "Green Green Grass of Home" or other songs of that ilk.
-
just switched to WGHT, an oldies station in NJ not unlike WLNG -- and they're playing Soupy Sales' "Do The Mouse" !!! you can do it in your house, yeah!
-
CGSS!
"secret stash
heavy bread
baddest bitches
in the bed"
Curtis M, "Pusherman"!
-
ooo! Prince , "Money Don't Matter 2 Night", twice in one week! Does Greg listen to KPOO?
-
Loleatta Holloway -- the orig "Love Sensation". Nice to hear it w/out Marky Mark rapping over it.
-

Bwaha! I know exactly which other songs you're thinking of:
Kim Wilde's odd interest in "east California" in "Kids in America"
Diesel's entire fucking journey in "Sausalito Summernights"

Yes, thank you -- I was trying to think of the Kim Wilde and had a brain fart. Diesel, on the other hand, were German, no? If so I'll cut them a little more slack (well, geographically anyway -- not muscally).

Obviously Gordon Lightfoot has been to California, but I always get a hoot when I hear his version of "Me and Bobby McGee" and he sings 'somewhere near suh-lie-ness.'

Actually from Holland, ma belle amie.
