Just logged on to KPOO but so far the stream is crappy.
-
Day before Earth Day and James Brown is singin' about Nature...
Stream finally settled down. Wish KPOO could get their technological, umm, poo together.

checking out this week's CG retro-chart show: it's Midge Ure talking about the time in 1981 when Ultravox's "Vienna" was at #2 -- they were kept out of the top spot by... "Shaddap You Face"!!!

"Sgt Rock(Is Going to Help Me)" -- an XTC song that's new to me.

and heeeeeere's Mr Dolce. Big accordion solo! Midge Ure did NOT have nice things to say about this record. He'd've preferred to have been kept out of the #1 spot by Benny Hill -- "at least that would've had redeeming artistic value!" LOL!
-
TANC of the day: KPIG and WLNG both played the Hombres' "Let It All Hang Out" in the same hour. "How's THAT mess yo' baby up, leg?"
-
New to me on Saturday's CGSS: George Benson covering Roberta's "Feel Like Makin' Love (To The Princess)".
-
Sefra 'n' Sue! Every girl that ah knew! Jacksons with the ridiculously re-titled "This Place Hotel" (nee "Heartbreak Hotel"). Followed by Champaign's exquisite "How 'Bout Us?" and some Do-Re-Me-Fa-So-La-Ti-D'OH! from Sly.
-
Finally getting around to checking out SoulClassics24/7
http://www.soulclassics247.com/
and impressive so far. "Memphis Soul Stew" for lunch!
-
Gladys (in one of her 3 or 4 best perfs) says "If I Were Your Woman... I'd be one of your many plural wives"

I wonder if polygamist wedding ceremonies play "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do"?

LOL! I'm sure Mormons consider ABBA as evil as speedmetal.
-
Hoo LAWD! Watts 103rd St Band say: 'spress yo'self! dey doin' it on da MOON, y'all!
Followed by the O'Jays' forgotten "Brandy". She's a fine dog.
-
Hoo LAWD #2: The Checkmates, Ltd. with "Black Pearl", a splendiferous Phil Spector production from '69. This is rapidy becoming one of my fave streams -- have to see if it holds up over time or if there's too much repetition, but for today I'm in Soul Heaven.
-
New to me: Inez & Charlie Foxx (of "Mockingbird" fame), "If You Don't Believe I'm Leavin' (Just Count The Days I'm Gone)".
Followed by fantastic Faux-town: The Dells' "There Is"
-
New to me: Inez & Charlie Foxx (of "Mockingbird" fame), "If You Don't Believe I'm Leavin' (Just Count The Days I'm Gone)".
and now, several hours later, here's Patti Labelle & the Bluebells with their version of same. This has been a fine afternoon of Soul -- nearly as good as the late lamented VIP Radio.
-
Sweeney's CG replacement, Mr Coyte, doing a fine job: Albert Hammond's "Free Electric Band" and 10cc's "Art For Art's Sake".
-
Wow, Greg on CGSS plays one of my fave forgotten late-'80s hits, Calloway's "I Wanna Be Rich". It actually peaked in early '90, iirc -- would've been a better bustout for Dave yesterday than that Nelson song.
and he follows it with R Dean Taylor's fab it-shoulda-been-the-Tops "Ghost in my House".
-
"Aquarius... and mah name is Charles. I like a woman... who's quiet... who carries herself like Miss Universe... so I can wear all her clothes..."
-
Obscurity of the Month: last nite on KPOO, JJ played Carolyn Crawford's "My Smile Is Just a Frown (Turned Upside Down)", a minor hit on Motown in '65 and her only Motown hit. New to me, it's a Smokey Robinson comp, not unlike the stuff Mary Wells was doing at the time. What's interesting is that the lyric includes the lines
"Just Like Pagliacci did
I try to keep my sadness hid"
!!!! -- I nearly fell out of bed when I heard that last nite! Smokey, of course, recycled that couplet a few years later for his own "Tears of a Clown". Live'n'learn!
