Judge started playing "Rappers Delight"  -- I got up, went down the street to buy juice, came back, and it was still playing. The looooooooooooooooooooong version indeed.

the little-heard "Girlfriend" followed by "She's Out of My Life". He's playing this off extra-crunchy vinyl, BTW.

"damned indecision! and cursed pride!"

"Burn This Disco Out" -- another track you never hear.  This has been a delight.

New to me: Modern Romance, "Ay ay ay ay Moosey" (wha?). Their "Best Years of Our Lives" is one of my fave forgotten shoulda-been hits -- was glad to see it revived in Shrek 2.

and the New Wave juggernaut continues: HL, "Don't You want Me?" and Haircut 100, "Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)". Followed by the Pretenders "I Go To Sleep", not much of a radio fave in the US but a Top Ten single in the UK.

Yikes! Lady Cliff's snoozy cover of "Daddy's Home" makes the Jermaine Jackson version sound like the Sex Pistols.

I mentioned the other day that KCDX's stream had been down for at least a month -- I emailed them today to see what's up and got a bounce-back that said their mailbox is full!  Another one bites the dust. Which just... bites.

Something interesting from -- of all sources -- Clear Channel. It's where they test and tweak formats: FormatLab.

http://www.clearchannelmusic.com/formatlab/

Tons of different formats to listen to, all commercial-free. I'll start investigating further on Friday.

So I'm listening to their "Pride Radio -- a channel for the gay community". And so far I've heard

Some hip-hop song i didn't recognize
"What I Like About You", Romantics
"Read My Mind", Killers
"I'll be Loving You", Collage
something else current I don't recognize

uh, this is "gay"... how, exactly?

Switched to their "Classic dance" channel, expecting a lot of disco, and to my delight I'm hearing Peter Godwin, "Images of Heaven"!

Remember they're in Texas. No telling how they interpret the typical "gay" listener.

LOL! Then they should be playing that Willie Nelson gay-cowboy song!   A number of Clear Channel stations apparently run that "Pride radio" thing on their HD-2 subchannel.  Maybe the jocks are all like "Fernando & Greg" from Energy 92.7 (But i hope not).

Speaking of HD radio, I ran into Our Man Beej on Muni a few days ago (he sends his love) and he mentioned that he's been listening to the KFOG All-10@10 HD channel on the HD radio his sweetie gave him for Xmas. So I guess they've got it up and running, but haven't been promo'ing it much.

KFRC's Kasey Kountdown takes us to Jan. 17, 1976.  At 40: "Love, Be Tender With My Fanny."  Chart curiosity: the oldest song on the countdown is "Fly, Robin, Fly," at a meager 13 weeks.

Hamilton, Joe Frank and no Reynolds at 22 with "Winners and Losers," sounding rather a bit like David Cassidy on the vocals.

Another in the annals of nonsense lyrics: "You made a fool of me / But those broken dreams have got to end."  Wha?  Still love the song, though.

Ooh ... At 14, John Denver doing what he does best on "Fly Away."

With ONJ on backing vox, making her 2nd appearance of the morning.

Another amazing journey thru history.  Dunno how much of the first hour you heard, but hope you caught the Road Apples' very Sly-like "Let's Live Together", their only hit. Other highlights for me (besides the ones you've mentioned): "Hurricane" (tho' we heard maybe 2/5ths of it), David Ruffin's "Walk Away from Tryin' to Love Two", and OMG I'd forgotten how Euro-cheezy "Paloma Blanca" is (quite a 180-degree turn for the George Baker Selection from "Little Green Bag"). And of course, "Convoy" -- them hogs is gettin' IN-tense!

And thanks for beating me to the "Love be Tender With my Fanny" line!

Anytime on "Fanny," a personal fave.  As for the rest: "Una Paloma Blanca" sounds uncomfortably like the Flintstones theme; Road Apples are a gem (though more like Eddie Money than Sly); and D-Ruffin is one of my favorites of the decade - what range!
