I was just about to post how nicely the 'POO stream was behaving today, when, just after Judge's first song (Rick James, Bustin' Out) begins, so did the buffering.

Dammit, this just ain't fair....

I think we must've posted and then deleted our respective threads in unison. I'll hang for a bit, but it's not improving for me much. It's weird how it was fine for Marilyn's show, but right after the stroke of noon it went to hell. More traffic? Sunspots? Conspiracy?

It does seem to be finally improving-not buffering every 20 seconds or so.

Here's one for ya, Mike--Native New Yorker. Complete with the warmth of vinyl (as with the previous couple of cuts).

OMG! The Richie Family, "Best Disco in Town" -- a copycat medley predating the "Stars on 45" phenom by nearly a decade.

Damn! one of the early versions of "I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down" --sounds like Sam & Dave, and it's much much slower than the Elvis Costello cover.

OMG -- I never knew "Sweet Soul Music" was a re-write of a Sam Cooke song called "Yeah Man":

Do you like good music
crazy 'bout music
any old music
yeah, yeah
do you like all the dances
you crazy 'bout the dances

it's a KCDX kinda Wednesday.  Here's a rather dark tune called "Traveling Underground" by Stories -- new to me, in fact the only 3 tracks of theirs I've ever heard were the McCartney-clone "I'm Comin' Home" (from '72), "Brother Louie" and its follow-up, "Mammy Blue".  This is very different.

VIP's Beach Music show plays Wilson Pickett's "Silver Bells" from the wonderful '60s-style Christmas Soul Special LP from the early '80s.

The Mighty Clouds of Joy's very Trammps-like "Mighty High", a fab forgotten slice of gospel-disco.

Mmm.  Can you recommend other artists (or better yet, a comp) in this field?  Might be a good step to take after I explore Northern Soul (a resolution for next year).

Frankly, I don't know that there's enough to call it a "field". I only know of the above-mentioned tune -- it's really great, you'd swear it was the Trammps, and it got quite a bit of NYC airplay back in the day -- and "You Brought the Sunshine" by the Clark Sisters from '83.

Northern Soul, on the other hand, is a HUGE pool to wade into, as I've learned from listening to VIP.

JJ on KPOO is s-s-s-smokin' as usual: Honey Cone's "One Monkey" -- the "suck you" version, which is hard to find -- followed by Eighth Day's "Eeny-Meeny-Miny-Moe" (new to me), the Chi-Lites' fab "Stoned Out of My Mind",  Rev. Green, "Let's Get Married", and a rare Three Degrees number, "I Didn't Know" (the follow-up to "When Will I See You Again", which astoundingly didn't even chart pop). Hoo Lawd!
