getting the week started with... "Xanadu"!!!
-
wow, the original Brit version of "Red Red Wine" by Jimmy James & the Vagabonds from 1968 (!). It's ballad tempo, sounds more like '62 than '68.
-
and now the orig of "Rock'n'Roll I Gave You The Best Years of My Life" by Aussie singer Kevin Johnson.
-
Dean's blowing my mind today: Alphaville, "Big in Japan".
-
Strip off your pride, you're actin' like a teenybopper runaway child...
WLNG nugget o' the day: Mark Lindsay, "Arizona".

Tuesday... pre-Jukebox, Paul Coyte plays Elvis' "If I Can Dream", which I hadn't heard in ages.

Which, coincidentally, was on the mix-tape I was listening to on my way home from work last night. "Cut off your Indian braids!"
-
OMG! from the Osmonds, "One Bad Apple", to "Run For Home" by Lindisfarne, another nugget I've not heard in decades.
-
New Seekers, "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing"! The guy who substituted "over and over" for "Coca Cola"? Genius.
-
Wednesday: listening to Gary Ziepe's Late Show on CG, and he reads an email from a Brit woman in SF who's listening to him in an internet cafe. He then gives a plug to KFOG! Apparently he was here some years ago and visited them and recorded some "liners" for them. So any British-sounding voice you hear on KFOG is Gary.

small world, indeed!

ABBA, "Thank You For the Music", maybe their worst hit. nothing like a sappy ballad with a faux-English Music Hall interlude. Yikes.
-
OMG! Tracy Ch -- er, I mean, Joan Armatrading, "Drop The Pilot"!
-

puh-leez. who could ever confuse the two?
"animal, mineral, physical, spiritual, i'm the one you need! i'm the one you need!"

CGSS Greg is sitting in on the Late Show today... don't know if that means more soul than usual, but after "Seasons in the Sun" (requested by a VERY inebriated lady), Cliff Richard would sound like Otis Redding.
-
TANC: CG plays Jackie Wilson, "Reet Petite".
-
TANC: just listened to "seasons in the sun" on i-tunes before reading your post.
-
OMG! Smokie, "Living Next Door to Alice".

And then gets all flustered when he said "shit" while talking about some pilot that was flying around Ireland with half a wing on his plane.
And here's the first of the two versions Ali asked for--wonder if he'll slip in the other one later?
-
Johnny "Guitar" Watson -- a real mutha for ya!
-
ooo! 3 Degrees, "Take Good Care Of Yourself". Loverly.
-
"'cause if I was in your blood/then you wouldn't be so ugly..."
Kid Creole, "Annie I'm Not Your Daddy". Wonderful stuff.

Sweeney's on a helluva run: The Records' Starry Eyes, Bowie's Suffragette City, then Oasis and Blur tunes that I didn't know but ruled, then the Kinks' Til The End of the Day, and now Chuck Berry's Sweet Little Sixteen.
-
Sweeney's on a helluva run: The Records' Starry Eyes
Weren't they related to Bram Tchaikovsky? This rings a bell in my dim memory.

Damn, I didn't listen to him today...tho' the promised Birthday salute to Percy (he's 57 tomorrow) sounded tempting. He said something about new Simple Minds too (?).
WLNG nuggets o' the day: Cher, "Bang Bang", followed by Jerry Butler, "Never Gonna Give You Up". "Girl, you're usin' me like a carpenter uses a tool...". Really, Jerry? Do tell!
ETA: OMGWTF! they followed Jerry Butler with The Royal Guardsmen's "Baby Let's Wait", their lovely non-Snoopy hit, and the Grassroots' "Heaven Knows". What an amazing radio station.

Similar sound -- the mighty 1979 New Wave 12-string-guitar trilogy:
Records, "Starry Eyes"
Bram T, "Girl of My Dreams"
Shoes, "Too Late"
Who needs Roger McGuinn?

Well, let me start the groveling. Does anyone have this? BTW, anyone else besides POC need Jevetta's "Calling You"? I got it on ebay.

All three of those are on the Rhino Poptopia 70s collection, which is sadly out of print.
Right now Sweeney's playing a couple of tracks from the new Stones record, neither of which is the one KFOG's had in rotation. One was pretty good delta Blues number, the other is more of a power ballad kind of thing, not as good (but better than Has Anybody Seen My Baby?)
-
TANC part LXXXVII:
Now Sweeney's playing the Modern Lovers' Roadrunner. Def. a precursor to punk.
"I'm in love with rock and roll...and I'll be out all night!!!"

That song was a HUGE "turntable hit" on NYC's WNEW-FM -- the version from Beserkeley Chartbusters; I believe Mr Richman has recorded it multiple times. I've run hot-and-cold on him over the years, there's a fine line between "innocently childlike" and "moronic" and he crosses it from time to time (I have the same complaint about some of the B-52s catalog) but "RoadRunner" is a classic. Especially when I'm driving past the Stop'N'Shop with the radio on.

Where were you when I was groveling earlier?

All three of those are on the Rhino Poptopia 70s collection, which is sadly out of print.
They were also on the Rhino "D.I.Y." series (I love Rhino, but they do love to re-package); I picked up 4 CDs from that series about 8 years ago when they were in the discount bin at Tower for $5.99 each. So I have Records, Shoes & Bram T. along with many other gems -- anyone remember Pez Band's Beatle-esque gem "Baby It's Cold Outside"?

You're right--there's quite a bit of crossover between Poptopia (there were discs for the 70s, 80s, and 90s, but I have only the first one) and the DIY series, as I discovered when Sarah and I first moved in together (I had the former, she had picked up the latter when she was in radio). I guess once Rhino licences a song the try to get as much mileage out of it as they can. And just proving your point, the PezBand tune is another one that's on the Poptopia set, too.

For the record geek, isn't this The Most Romantic Scenario Ever?
P.S. Listening to the new Better Than Ezra song as I type: "And that R.E.M. song was playing in my mind / Yeah, three and a half minutes felt like a lifetime." Speaking of romantic scenarios for record geeks.
-
Listening to the new Better Than Ezra song...
I thought they broke up ages ago?

If they did, they reformed. They did something awful called "Extraordinary" about five years ago. And now, here's the new one, which AMG seems to like well enough:
