Judge slammin' & Jammin' per usual. and now a mid-afternoon dose of Jarreau Hands! Mornin' little Cheerios!
-
highlight of the afternoon (so far): Herbie Hancock, "Rockit".
-
Judge plays New Edition's original indie hit, "Candy Girl", Best. J-5. Imitation. EVAH.
-
over to KPOO for a bit -- Patti LaBelle's early-'60s rendition of "Over The Rainbow".
-
VIP-ing: the J-5's dee-liteful cover of "Doctor My Eyes".
-
Patti Drew, the orig version of "Workin' on a Groovy Thing", later covered by the 5th Dimension.
Followed by Clarence Carter's "Tell Daddy", the male version of Etta James' "Tell Mama".
-
CG-ing in lieu of KBCO, and happily Greg is subbing for their PM-drive guy. And playing not only T.Rex's "Telegram Sam" but -- OMGWTF -- Wham's little-heard "Club Tropicana".
-
my second dose of Glen Campbell today: "Witchita Lineman".
-
Been checking out the 'BCO A-Z thing this am--heard Garcia's Deal into Dear God, Dear Mr. Fantasy, and Dear Prudence. Not bad--those first two are a segue I can't say I'd ever heard before.
Have the dreaded Ten A.M Meeting this morning, so I'll miss at least the first part of the set and probably all of it. Have fun guys--I'm feeling '76 today--I'll be curious how close that is to reality.
-
CG plays another of Boney M's godawful eurotrash disco hits. Man, they really sucked. "Rah-Rah, Ras-pu-teen/Russia's famous love machine"
Yikes.
-
Phil Oakey/Giorgio Moroder, "Together in Electric Dreams", one of my fave '80s British hits that (criminally) flopped in the US.
-
WLNG Nugget o'the Day: the post-Diana Supes, "Everybody's Got the Right To Love".
I hear Miss Ross (she da Boss) was on Letterman claiming she "hasn't had time" to see Dreamgirls yet.
-
OMGWTF! Patty & the Emblems, "Mixed Up Shook Up Girl".
-
VIP takes the "5th" and surrys on down to a Stoned Soul Picnic.
it wasn't until I heard the Laura Nyro version recently that I realized the line is "There'll be trains of blossoms". I thought it was "trains of possums". Stoned Roadkill Picnic?
-
Edwin Starr's "Time", clearly a follow-up to "War". "Time! what is a good rhyme? Absolutely nuthin'!"
-
highlight of the afternoon: Joe South, "Games People Play"
"and ya don't give a da, da, da da dadadada..."
-
From the sublime to the ridiculous and back again on VIP:
Chairmen of the Board, "Dangling on a String", followed by the Osmonds "One Bad Apple" (which the Brits apparently consider "Northern Soul" because... it's a J-5 ripoff?) followed by the fabulous "Love Makes a Woman" by Barbara Acklin.
-
Been tuning in to the BCO A-Z in lieu of Ginger's 10@10 most days this week, and it appears that it is going to run into next week as well--they're only up to "H" so far. Good that they're doing such an extensive A-Z but bad that we're deprived of Ginger's mastery for another several days.

God Bless KPIG -- I swear thay must keep a copy of Joni's Blue in the studio at all times, it seems like they're always playing something from it. This morning it was "A Case of You". Probably my favorite of Ms Mitchell's LPs.
And it was followed by the UNcensored version of John Hiatt's "Master of Disaster" -- still amazing to me that KFOG censored the word "bastard". I read an article about that water-drinking contest in Sac'to that resulted in death, they're saying that it will have the same effect on "wacky" Morning Zoo-style stunts as the Janet Jackson thing had on censorship issues. The article mentioned that album rock stations that had been playing "Who Are You" uncensored for 25 years were suddenly bleeping the F-word.

Meant to post yesterday that I tuned in the KFOG morning show just in time to hear Dave play Joni's Chelsea Morning (and several subsequent calls of gratitude from various listeners). I assume there must have been some sort of related discussion prior to its being unearthed.
