this version of Sniff'n'the Tears "Drivers Seat" sounds like a mix I've never heard before... a 12" version?

if you mean Mr Joel... well, I think he did quite nicely with Nylon Curtain & Innocent Man, but yes, the early part of the decade was when he succumbed to his worst excesses.  He had a major chip on his shoulder -- he wanted to be taken seriously as a rocker ("I'm better than Bruce") rather than the excellent pop songwriter that he was. I remember when "Glass Houses" came out, the critics were quite harsh; Rolling Stone said that if they gave polyester albums rather than gold & platinum, then that's what "Glass Houses" would deserve.

Damn! Phone rang right in the middle of "Some Girls" -- I don't know if it was the censored or uncensored version!

Today at least, the DDT track lists are showing you 1 or 2 songs ahead of the current one.

So I just went to check on the Zep tune (it was "Custard Pie", whoopee!!) and "Going To A Go-Go" was already listed (which is now playing) as well as "Jesus Just Left Chicago/Waiting For A Bus" (which thrills and delights me even more).

Yay!

Not.

Actually it was doing that last week, too. Kinda fun, knowing what was coming up next (and the song after that!).
