Been a few weeks since I checked out Judge -- and KPOO's stream has been quite good lately, so here goes.

ROTFL!

I spent 4 days in Nashville for "Fan Fest" in 1985. The aging Osmonds (well, 3 of them) were trying to re-invent themselves as a country act. We stayed at the Marriott (the Mormon hotel, as you probably know) and the Osmonds fan club was staying there -- I have never seen so many overweight 12-year-old girls in one place in my life. And remember this was '85, so these were kids whose only musical option as Mormons was... aging Osmonds! Frightening.

BTW Gaz, you gotta listen to this countdown if you can fit it in -- obscure Partridges (Looking Thru the Eyes of Love), the J-5's fab "Doctor My eyes" cover -- great stuff.

I can never find the Retro countdown - where's it at on the http://www.mygoldmusic.co.uk/ site?  Sorry to be so dense about that.

Speaking of dense, surprised that those girls could get chunky without caffeine (and thus soda) being part of the diet ...

click the "listen again" tab on the player, you'll get a list of shows. Look for "From the Bottom to the Top", click it and you'll get 2 dated choices -- click either one, one's the Tuesday rerun of the Sunday orig.

And here's another fave "shoulda-been" : Focus' "Sylvia", a wonderful instrumental. Their follow-up to "Hocus Pocus" in the US, it bombed here but was huge in Europe.

wow, I never realized Thin Lizzy's "Whiskey in the Jar-O" predates "Boys are Back in Town" by 3 years!

GodDAMNit!  They played the wrong version of "Doctor My Eyes" -- Jackson Browne instead of Jackson Five. Boo! Hiss!  Sorry, Gaz.

I can't find this list of shows.  I keep launching the player and all I get is "Tiny Dancer."
