Week of 11/7-11/11
« on: November 07, 2005, 12:08:16 PM »
Just caught Rick James' Bustin' Out on KPOO.

And some slightly suggestive r&b before the hour: Screamin' Jay's Constipation Blues, Little Willie John's Leave My Kitten Alone, a few others.

ETA: I think it's a Rick twin-spin! Can't tell ya the name of this second song tho.

Don't think so, but he's playing the Chevy Chase/Richard Pryor word-association routine from SNL--a classic, and something we'll NEVER hear on 10@10.

Indeed, and I have that SNL album (came out in '77 I think) and you'd think Dave would have it too and use it regularly (especially since we know he loved Gilda R).  It includes such gems as "Shimmer" (it's a floor wax! it's a dessert topping!) and "Chevy's Girls" sung by Gilda, Jane & Laraine.

OMG! "Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet" by Gonzalez. Dave actually played this... once. It's the loooong version too!

OMG2! Giorgio Moroder, "Chase". Maybe this is a 1979 thang today. The songs I've recognized have been from that year.

CG's website is down, so I'm SmoothFM-ing. Samantha Sang (and the world listened), "Emotion", followed by -- OMG! -- the Jackson 5's "Skywriter", which I haven't heard since the '70s, probably.

Wow, now it's Donna Summer's Phil Spector send-up/hommage, "Love's Unkind".  Fab. Yoo. Luss.

Listening to Capital Gold today for the first time in ages, while I work on some Voice scribblings.  Tuned in just in time for MJ's "Beat It," and I must say, it's refreshing to deal with MJ unironically and on a solely musical basis.  If he wants to rehabilitate his image in the U.S., really, all he needs to do is a "hits" tour.  Not co-write a benefit song with a sultan.  Why does he not get this?

Because he's living in a fantasy world.  He's beyond help.

Dean promises to play Sheena Easton "Morning Train" (or "9 to 5" as the Brits know it), which would've livened up today's '81 set.  And next: "Pass the Dutchie"!

I remember the title changing mid-chart-run when Dolly's "9 to 5" hit hard.  I was rooting for Sheena while my brother was rooting for Hall & Oates's "Kiss On My List" for chart dominance.  Both eventually hit #1, so we both won.

Sheena Easton: the Petula Clark of the '80s.
