back to KRSH -- what sounds like Raul Malo covering JD Souther's "You're Only Lonely". VERY nice.

and indeed it was Mr Malo -- I looked up the CD on amazon, he also covers the Bee Gees' "Run to Me".

playing Petty's version of "Something in the Air" which IMHO is quite inferior to the original, and seems like a non-KRSH thing to do!  Ah, the perils of free-form radio!

24kbps AAC, so you'll need Winamp or VLC.

Playing some new Johnny Cash, I think.  "Further On Up The Road"

AAC is normally handled by iTunes, and it loads and displays as such, but goes no where.  What is VLC?

iTunes doesn't handle streaming AAC though.

VLC stands for VideoLan Client and it plays all sorts of various video and audio formats, including streaming AAC.  Here's a link to download the client:

Well, VIP promised to be back online today but... no.  So I'm listening to KBEC (classic country from Waxahatchee, TX) and I'm hearing ONJ, "Please Mister Please"!  the '70s sure were a different time. *sigh*

Getting my indie rock fix on, checking out a friend's show on WLUW from Chicago. Only thing is, she's out today. But the guy who's sitting in played a great Sonic Youth cover of Ça Plane Pour Moi, and now is playing something that sounds very very Raspberry-ish. Have to listen for the backsell to find out who it is.

ETA: And the Raspberryish tune is followed by what sounds like a Harry Nilsson song I can't place either. Great set, even if I'm stumped.
Let's get right to it.

Should have listened to my instincts: the Raspberryish tune was indeed the Raspberries, "Play On", while the Nilssonish one turned out to be a guy named Emmett Rhodes, from LA. Very cool piano-laden ballad. Going to have to look for his stuff.

OMG! We've discussed him here -- his debut LP (he only made 2 oe 3 that I know of) in 1970, right around the same time as Macca's first, was considered one of the great McCartney soundalikes. I have it on vinyl. The song "She's Such a Beauty" is such a clone of "Martha My Dear" that I played them back-to-back on a Beatle-themed mixtape I made.

more '70s: Anne Murray's lovely cover of Mr Loggins' "Love Song". Lesbian gym teachers everywhere swoon.

ETA: Still more... Ms Ronstadt adds steel guitar to "Tracks of My Tears". Followed by Randy Travis' sublime rendition of Brook Benton's "It's Just a Matter of Time".  This has been quite a treat today.

I just tuned in to one of AccuRadio's new soul-themed channels, focused on 1966-1972.  (I like their sense of divisions.)  First song was one I'd never heard, a guy sounding like Joe Tex (probably him) singing with a leer what I could swear was the line, "I'm gonna steal your garter."  Wha-wha-WHAAAH?
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”

*SPITS*LOL

BTW, "Please Mister Please" was one of the soft-rock classics I imported from my brother's CD library while I was in Pittsburgh.  I'll have to make the list -- but it's lots of ONJ, Air Supply, Boz Scaggs, Andy Gibb, and little bits of Player, ED&JFC, David Gates, and Hall & Oates.

I'm such a sap, too.

Speaking of sap, I switched over to 'LNG in time for Robin Ward's  delightful Lesley Gore knockoff, "Wonderful Summer".
