CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 3/17/08

[RGMike]

well, it ain't Irish, but Sweeney's playing Squeeze's "Labeled With Love", which I haven't heard in a dog's age.

KPOO's DJ Marilynn closes her show with Nancy Wilson's fab cover of "Ode to Billie Joe".  I'll have another piece of apple pie...

Disco Judge connects with Andrea True.

And now some Teddy -- the "Bad LucK" o' the Black Irish?

I started out on KPOO, but they're in megabuffering mode again today, so after Judge's show started I  moved over to CG, only to find, instead of Sweeney, what sounds like a label-produced show promoing the new Eagles album with interviews with each of the band members (well, Walsh, Frey, Henley, & Schmitt anyway) in between playing the album cuts. It's pretty lame, so not sure where to go next.

The buffering has gone away on KPOO, things are pretty even now -- Judge is featuring white folks today: Bee Gees, Blondie, in full disco-rama.

But yeah, that Eagles thing is a total commercial -- 4 hours (!) being divvied up one hour per nite. Plus they're still on standard time, which means they're another hour behind.

[RGMike]

Woo Hoo! "Born to Be Alive"!  It's an all-Alicat cubedance spectacular!

[RGMike]

Y'know it sounds like McJudge called in Irish -- he doesn't seem to be there, and this disco party is fairly mainstream, compared to what he usually does.

TANC: Mike, you didn't e-mail Dean Martin, did you? He's playing Whiskey In the Jar right now (2:51 PT).

Ha! no, 'twasn't me -- I had switched to KPOO after Sweeney seemed to be ignoring St Pat's Day altogether (some Irishman he is).

Listening this hour to CKWW, an "older" oldies station from Detroit/Windsor and to my delight they play Anne Murray's fab (four) cover of "You Won't See Me".

And Dave would be thrilled to know they use then old Drake/Chenault jingles. "and the hits just keep on comin'!"

and an even bigger treat: Motherlode's OHW, "When I Die".

[RGMike]

It's rare that a US oldies station plays a song I've never heard, but here's Gary & Dave (who?) with "Could You Ever Love Me Again?". A Canadian duo, apparently, which explains why it was a hit in Detroit.  But Lawd! Ms Wright's comin' in to Clean Up.

[RGMike]

OMFG! Patty Duke, "Don't Just Stand there" -- the folks who wrote "You Don't Own Me" shoulda sued over this one.

[RGMike]

"Do the Freddie" is one of the most ridiculous records ever, but the horns are fab -- did Tony Hatch produce this?
