well, it ain't Irish, but Sweeney's playing Squeeze's "Labeled With Love", which I haven't heard in a dog's age.

KPOO's DJ Marilynn closes her show with Nancy Wilson's fab cover of "Ode to Billie Joe".  I'll have another piece of apple pie...

I started out on KPOO, but they're in megabuffering mode again today, so after Judge's show started I  moved over to CG, only to find, instead of Sweeney, what sounds like a label-produced show promoing the new Eagles album with interviews with each of the band members (well, Walsh, Frey, Henley, & Schmitt anyway) in between playing the album cuts. It's pretty lame, so not sure where to go next.

The buffering has gone away on KPOO, things are pretty even now -- Judge is featuring white folks today: Bee Gees, Blondie, in full disco-rama.

But yeah, that Eagles thing is a total commercial -- 4 hours (!) being divvied up one hour per nite. Plus they're still on standard time, which means they're another hour behind.

Y'know it sounds like McJudge called in Irish -- he doesn't seem to be there, and this disco party is fairly mainstream, compared to what he usually does.

TANC: Mike, you didn't e-mail Dean Martin, did you? He's playing Whiskey In the Jar right now (2:51 PT).

Ha! no, 'twasn't me -- I had switched to KPOO after Sweeney seemed to be ignoring St Pat's Day altogether (some Irishman he is).

Listening this hour to CKWW, an "older" oldies station from Detroit/Windsor and to my delight they play Anne Murray's fab (four) cover of "You Won't See Me".

And Dave would be thrilled to know they use then old Drake/Chenault jingles. "and the hits just keep on comin'!"

It's rare that a US oldies station plays a song I've never heard, but here's Gary & Dave (who?) with "Could You Ever Love Me Again?". A Canadian duo, apparently, which explains why it was a hit in Detroit.  But Lawd! Ms Wright's comin' in to Clean Up.

OMFG! Patty Duke, "Don't Just Stand there" -- the folks who wrote "You Don't Own Me" shoulda sued over this one.

"Do the Freddie" is one of the most ridiculous records ever, but the horns are fab -- did Tony Hatch produce this?

I'm switching to classic country mode via WSMonline.com -- and I'm hearing a country version of Wilson Pickett's "Don't Let The Green Grass Fool You" (!) by O.B.McClinton, one of the few black singers to make the country charts besides Charley Pride. What a lost gem!

WLNG Nugget o'the Day: Gary Puckett/Union Gap "Don't Give in to Him", which I haven't heard in a gazillion years.

OMG! the Harper's Bizarre version of S&G's "59th St Bridge Song" -- amazingly similar to the orig but still "groovy".

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air after hearing Joey Scarbury's "Greatest American Hero" theme.

I just noticed the similarity beyween the into to "Witchi -Ti -To"  and the intro to "Sweet jane". Coulda knocked me over with a feather...

Crap, Sweeney's taken a sickie--we've got Paul Coyne sitting in his stead.

Bloody fooking 'ell!

I'm WSM-ing until CGSS time at 1 (those wacky Brits are still on Standard Time).

on WSM : one of the best country songs of the early-'90s "New Trad" boom, Doug Stone's "I'd Be Better Off in a Pine Box". Hard to believe George Jones turned this one down.

Cutbacks!  CGSS plays the orig version of "Money$ Too Tight to Mention" by the Valentino Bros.  Simply Red's version is good (specially the shout-out to Nancy Reagan), but this is fabulous.

and it used to be the opposite -- they'd switch a week before us (last weekend of March, as opposed to our first weekend of April).  There's nothing like London in June, when it's still light at 10pm.
