ooo! a rarely-heard Prince track, "Private Joy".

Has anyone heard his new CD? got a nice review in EW; I've only heard "Guitar" so far, which CG is playing.

WLNG Nugget o' the Day: Vikki Carr, "It Must Be Him", a fave from when I was 12.  Don't be a chump, Vikki!

it's funny, but even with the gynormous (sorry) playlist, repeats happen.  Today, around 1PM, I heard "Tramp" by Carla and Otis, then I heard it again, a few hours later!

There's an explanation for that: KPIG has segments each hour for commercial insertions at the various "affiliates" (the SF version might get a commercial for Memphis Minnie's BBQ, while KZAP might not have any time sold for that hour). Sometimes they play PSAs, sometimes they play music, and the music they choose has to be 2-1/2 minute or 3 minute songs.  "Tramp" is one of those songs, so it actually comes up quite often.

a CG treat: Pilot's "January", their other UK hit (a #1, in fact), which did nothing over here.

It may be 7/25/07 in the real world, but on WLNG it's the 3rd of June, another sleepy dusty Delta day.

and an hour after"Honey, Honey", we get "Sugar, Sugar".  Fountains of Wayne should write a song called "Splenda, Splenda".

wow -- Scott MacKenzie's "Like An Old-Time Movie", I assume this was the follow-up to "San Francisco". Amazingly, I'd never heard this before.

follwed by Stevie Wonder's "Send One Your Love" -- haven't heard this in a very long time. Has anyone ever actually seen The Secret Life of Plants?

Just today I stumbled onto a link, sending me to Scott McKenzie's page, where he has an audio file of him doing one of the last song's John Philips ever wrote, "We've Been Asking Questions."  Turning out to be a very timely song, and is the official song of this weekends big 40th anniversary of Monterey Pop Festival!

Bob Shannon on CBS-FM, after playing "Dreamweaver":

"Personally, my dream Weaver is Sigourney."
