Title: the 2 Capital Radios
Post by: RGMike on June 13, 2005, 12:35:48 PM
I was listening to CG (great double play: Wizzard's "See My baby Jive" followed by Mental As Anything, "Live it Up") and reading the NY Radio Message Board and came across this link:

http://www.capitalradio.us/

No relation to CG whatsover, this is an American Oldies stream from Connecticut -- first song I hear upon logging on is "Toast & Marmalade" by Tin Tin, followed by Roger Miller, "King of the Road". I'm impressed!  Giving this a shot for awhile.

ETA: here's the last 9 songs as of 12:55pm

San Franciscan Nights - Animals    
Easy Come, Easy Go - Sherman, Bobby    
I'm A Boy - Who    
Lalena - Donovan    
Time Out Of Mind - Steely Dan    
King Of The Road - Miller, Roger    
Toast and Marmalade 4 Tea - Tin Tin    
Rock And Roll Heaven - Righteous Bros    
Rainy Day Women  -  Dylan    
Keep On Loving You - Reo Speedwagon    

Take THAT, Jack!

couldn't get onto capitalradio.us (their stream has limited access, apparently) so I'm WLNG-ing... in the past hour I've heard "Billy Don't Be A Hero", "Playgound in My Mind" and Bobby Vinton's "Melody of Love" (the only partially Polish Top 20 hit in chart history!).  This is either great cheeze or a HFH-fest, depending on yer POV. But the jingles make it all worthwhile.

"My Melody of Love" is one of the first songs I can recall hearing.  It was huge in Pittsburgh, natch (large Polish population, plus he was a native: my mother recalls dancing with him at a club once).  A guilty pleasure, to be sure (as opposed to "Playground," which is no pleasure of any sort).

Now listening to CG, just 'cuz I haven't in a long time.  Went from "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" to "Good Morning Starshine."  Wish it were Friday.

Listening to trad Top 40 today -- I have some current hits to catch up on.

No need to start a new thread, as I may not post again today, but on CG: John Holt (?) doing a reggaefied "Help Me Make it Thru the Night" from (sez Dean) 1974.

CG is having a "Queen Weekend". That's funny, we're having that in SF too...
