Title: CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 9/3/07
Post by: RGMike on September 03, 2007, 03:42:11 PM
Sounds like Judge is repeating his Prince marathon from a few weeks ago -- fine with me. DanceMusicSexRomance indeed! "Work yo' body like a whore."  Too bad he had to censor the best lines in "Let's Pretend We're Married".

I just came from seeing Balls of Fury -- not great but it has its moments. And they got somebody to write a power ballad title song:

Be my judge and jury
Be my balls of fury...

KCDX has been rather pedestrian (for them) this afternoon:

Peter Frampton - All I Want To Be (Is By Your Side)
Cars - Drive
Bad Company - Bad Company
Five Man Electrical Band - Signs
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Foreigner - Urgent
Steve Miller Band - Jet Airliner
Wings - Listen What the Man Said

dunno if it's the luck of the draw or a conscious decision to play less obscurities.

WLNG plays a Lesley Gore fave of mine, "She's a Fool" -- how on earth did they come up with "shak-a-doo-lah" as the backing nonsense riff?

Hearing "Expressway to Your Heart" reminds me that the opening line is not "I been tryin' to get to you..." but "I been tryin' to get INTO you", but he slurs the "in" so that most radio stations didn't pick up on it.

Lost 45s completes its yearly Top 100 countdown tonight.  Favorites tonight so far include Sheena Easton's "Morning Train" and (currently playing) Lobo, "I'd Love You to Want Me."  Another relic of the sexual revolution.

"Whah Think Ah Love Yew", sez Mr Cassidy.  Harpischord solo!

This has been a delight, in spite of Charlene (people actually like "Never Been to Me"?) and Terry Jacks' bowdlerizing of "Seasons in the Sun". Gaz , I hope you someday hear the version by Pearls Before Swine.

"Undercover Angel" at #5.

"The Night Chicago Died" comes in at #4.

And yikes, we haven't heard "Last Song" yet.  No idea what else is in the Top 3, but I'm hoping for "Fool (If You Think It's Over)" or "Baby Come Back."

Little Steven perpetuates the untrue urban legend that Charles Manson auditioned for the Monkees.  The other he lists, however, are true: Danny Hutton, Stephen Stills, and Rodney Bingenheimer.

I was surprised, in the past he has referred to that as a myth, and Steven's "theme" shows tend to recycle old scripts. He usually mentions another Monkees myth, that Zappa plays guitar on "Valleri".  But I hope you heard the whole show -- he's at his best when he sticks to one theme all the way thru.

Yeah.  He picked some great cuts.  But his speaking voice, um, takes some getting used to.

Meantime, also per "Hz So Good," it appears Clear Channel is streaming old Casey Kasem countdowns from the '80s here (I haven't listened for myself yet):

"I've Never Been to Me," Charlene (1982) I have been many places in my life and times, and I have yet to meet anyone who has admitted to even casually liking this record. I get how the message would appeal to millions of moms in 1982, especially when you consider that the two songs Charlene was stuck behind were the Paul McCartney-Stevie Wonder duet "Ebony & Ivory" and Rick Springfield's "Don't Talk to Strangers." Still, the combination of the message - which boils down to, you should be lucky you're not a tramp like me - and the music, which would have passed for an airline commercial back then, is as deadly as they come. All that said, this still may not be the worst #3 hit ever. I'm saving that for part 2.

Meant to say, he made a curious choice from the film Head: "Can You Dig It," Peter Tork's elementary appreciation of the Tao te Ching, or something like that.  The other cuts off that soundtrack were far better, IMHO.

I assume he was trying to spread the love, since there aren't too many Tork contribs to choose from.  As to Steven's voice, his delivery is part of his shtick, he's playing a Joisey wiseguy who happens to be extremely knowledgeable about music.  It's really an amazing 2 hours each week, and he gets in a lot of lefty politics (he's especially anti-religion)  which is both surprising and gratifying for a syndicated show.
