on CG: early Alan Price -- an upbeat cover of "Hi Lilli Hi Lilli Hi Lo" (!)
-
oo! T'Pau with their other hit, "China In Your Hand", a Brit #1 that inexplicably flopped stateside.
-
Here come the Judge on KPOO -- with Miss Gloria Gaynor singin' 'bout that no-good, jive-time "Casanova Brown".
Follwed by Lionel Ritchie when he was good.
-
One of my fave lesser-played Stylistics tunes: "Heavy Fallin' Out".
-
TANC: on CG, John's "Stand By Me"
-
oo! Style Council, "Shout To The Top". One you never hear in the U.S.
-
OMG! the Cilla Black version of "Alfie".
-
WLNG Nugget o' the Day: Sandie Shaw, "Girl Don't Come", which oddly CG never plays.
ETA: and followed by Nancy Sinatra, "You Only Live Twice", memorably sampled by Robbie Williams' "Millennium".
ETA2: and that was followed by Carly, "Anticipation". That's a trifecta of wonderful underplayed songs.
-
yet another Nugget: Godspell, "Day By Day". What an amazing radio station.

I read a review in the NYTimes of her performance with her kids (that I believe Gaz wrote an advance of for the Voice, but I digress) that happened to jog my memory to her sublime "That's the Way I Always Heard It Should Be"--haven't heard that in years. She's another artist that DM would do well to revisit in some early 70s 10@10 sets. She was huge in the first part of that decade (and since I know Mshray will remind us if I don't, quite well put together too.)

And she still looks pretty good -- she (like everyone else) has a PBS concert/pledge month thingy airing currently.
And yes, she's another big '70s female artist (like the Mses King & Ronstadt) that Dave tends to mostly ignore. "That's the Way..." used to appear in the "Love Stinks" Valentine's set back in the day, but he's never played "Anticipation" or anything from No Secrets except maybe "You're So Vain". My personal fave: the lovely "Comin' Around Again", which would be a godsend in one of Dave's Katrina-laden 1986 or '87 sets.

on CG, Rita Coolidge's finest hour: "We're All Alone".
-
CG is counting down the Top 50 Cover Versions of Beatles Songs!
-
11:09 Dennis Elsas is leading off his show by playing New York City on WFUV.

I'm torn -- CG is playing Karen Carpenter's "Ticket To Ride".

If you're looking for upbeat, I'd stay on CG. Elsas just said that his show was going to be "an up and down ride"--he promises to play reminiscences from other WNEW staffers of the time, Howard Cosell, and pieces of a '74 interview that he did with Lennon. He just finished playing the clip we've heard DM play on occasion of Vin Scelsa announcing Lennon's murder to the NEW audience, and the lengthy monologue that followed.
ETA: He is not, however, strictly playing Lennon music--I've heard Matthew Sweet, Peter Gabriel's Games without Frontiers, and the Magic Numbers, among other things over the last 40 minutes.
-
Wow -- Ella Fitzgerald's "Can't Buy Me Love". this makes my day.
-
Suddenly! Someone! Is there! at the TURNSTILE!!!
It's Shatner. Wth kaleidoscope. Eyes-eyes-eyes-eyes-eyes...
and in the most blatant ridiculous-to-sublime segue ever, CG follows that with Emmylou Harris' gorgeous "Here There & Everywhere" and Smokey's "And I Love Her". This has been a fab segment today.
-
And now the reverse: Sublime (That Sexy Ferry doing "She's Leaving Home") to Ridiculous (Tiffany, "Saw Him Standing There").
-
Greg ends the covers session with Sean Connery (!) doing a dramatic reading of "In My Life". Never heard this before -- and may never again.
-
switched over to Elsas on WFUV, and he plays White Stripes "Denial Twist". More than a bit of early Macca (by way of Little Richard) in that one.
-
Joni, "Conversation". Maybe I should listen to Mr Elsas more often.

Been having that same thought. He's been playing some nice stuff the last two days that I've been listening.
-
WLNG (Xmas) Nugget o' the Day: Stevie, "What Xmas Means to Me".
-
CGSS in full swing. Staples, "I'll Take You There", which god knows I've heard a million times, but it's still fonky to this honky.
I still can't picture Mavis hooking up with Dylan, tho'...
-
wow, the original of "Gettin' Mighty Crowded"!
-
OMGWTFLOL! Greg digs out the Salsoul Orchestra Xmas LP. I still have it on vinyl. Oh what fun it is to ride in a crystal meth-y sleigh!
-
Jacksons, "Blame it on the Boogie"
"We spent the night in Frisco
Macauley brought the Crisco..."

Thankfully, they archive shows -- I'll check it out this week. Any particular highlight on the setlist?
