If this is the only time I hear from the Crypt-Kicker Five today, that's fine with me.

"Spooky," covered nicely a couple years later by Dusty Springfield at her most sultry.

Dave is just as likely to play "The Monster Hash" as "Mash"

It still astounds me that it was a hit TWICE.  But I'll bet dave plays it, though I'd prefer "Monster Hash".

VHM the orig "Spooky".

and then ARS covered it and brought it very faithfully (and prehaps unnecessarily) back to the original.

Given the Classics IV/ARS connection, I always thought that was kinda cool (as opposed to, say Santana's fairly worthless cover of "Stormy").

BOS Bowie! verrrrrrrry scarrrrrrrrry!

Clap for the Wolfman?  As Mike (or one of his DJ buds) once observed, there's penicillin for that.

I had the ARS album when I was 14 or so, and I'm sure I heard the Classics IV version many times with out realizing that a) it was a different recording or b) that it was the original from the 60's.  Still like it either way.  And kind of agree about "Stormy", although I liked it quite well back in the day.

I wish, and I'm sure it's gonna be an unrequited wish, that someone today would play BOC "I Love The Night", imo far and away the best song ever done about vampires.

any idea why The Peak did an all-U2 set? It's not Bono's Birthday.

BOS to the original "I Put a Spell on You."  That rare song that's been covered memorably three times yet never cracked the Top 40.

I'll give Edgar Winter BOS just b/c I never hear this outside 10@10.  And yes, every time I hear this, I still think of the time Dave played this on a "Sledgehammers" ep for a guy who said it reminded him of undergoing shock therapy.  Geesh.

Well I emailed Ginger with the request, but who knows?  She did a good set last year and the year before (just checked).  Rob did one last year, which was acclaimed the best of the four time zones, but did 1984 in '05.

ETA:  I just looked at Mike's post with Ginger's setlist yesterday & it says "1981 tomorrow".  Bummer!

Whatever became of "Sledgehammers"? The first two times Dave did them, they were some of the most riveting radio I've ever heard -- the stories were phenomenal. 3rd time... notsomuch. And there was a Xmas sledgehammers too, no? but then they stopped.

I suspect they're a little labor-intensive, recording, keeping track of and  editing down the numerous foghead phone calls. I have to wonder if that's why we haven't gotten the traditional Foghead Xmas card set the last couple of years, too.
