CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 9/22/08
« on: September 22, 2008, 11:08:59 AM »
Listening to the podcast of Greg's final CGSS. Some Googling revealed that Gold is revamping their weekends (the Classic Album Show is also gone).  Rumor has Greg possibly migrating to London's JazzFM in a month or 2.  I'll have to monitor that. Meanwhile London's Heart-FM has a "Club Classics" show on Fri & Sat that might be a substitute.

Greg's last CGSS was lovely and bittersweet -- he played favorites of his from over the years and closed with Real Thing's "You To Me Are Everything". Here's hoping he turns up somewhere else soon.

Listening to  WRXP for a while -- they're NYC's version of KFOG, sorta (a bit younger-skewing, perhaps).  I'm hearing "Love is Noise" by the Verve -- NTM, but I assume it's not actually "new". Anybody wanna give me a year on it?

ETA: never mind... turns out it *is* new!

WRXP is turning out to be rather interesting. They are technically a Triple-A format, but they play a lot of stuff KFOG doesn't. Here's a sample couple of hours, non-KFOG tracks in bold (at least to my ears; correct me if I'm wrong):

2:16 PM "DOESN'T REMIND ME" - AUDIOSLAVE
2:13 PM "MY GENERATION" - THE WHO
2:09 PM "TOUCH ME I'M GOING TO SCREAM" - MY MORNING JACKET
2:07 PM "BEEN CAUGHT STEALING" - JANE'S ADDICTION
2:05 PM "THE BENDS" - RADIOHEAD
1:58 PM "SHINE" - TREY ANISTASIO
1:53 PM "BULLET THE BLUE SKY" - U2
1:44 PM "LOVE IS NOISE" - THE VERVE
1:41 PM "AND THE CRADLE WILL ROCK" - VAN HALEN
1:37 PM "SAY IT AIN'T SO" - WEEZER
1:33 PM "THE STEP AND THE WALK" - THE DUKE SPIRIT
1:28 PM "LOVE IN AN ELEVATOR (NO INTRO)" - AEROSMITH
1:18 PM "TROUBLE" - COLDPLAY
1:14 PM "DREAM POLICE" - CHEAP TRICK
1:10 PM "THE ROCKAFELLER SKANK" - FATBOY SLIM
1:08 PM "OLD ENOUGH" - RACONTEURS
1:02 PM "RUNNIN' DOWN A DREAM" - TOM PETTY
12:58 PM "JERK IT OUT" - CAESARS
12:53 PM "LET IT RAIN" - ERIC CLAPTON
12:48 PM "TAKE BACK THE CITY" - SNOW PATROL
12:44 PM "LITHIUM" - NIRVANA
12:32 PM "THE BATTLE OF EVERMORE" - LED ZEPPELIN
12:29 PM "FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT" - BEASTIE BOYS
12:26 PM "SEX ON FIRE" - KINGS OF LEON
12:23 PM "LAID" - JAMES
12:15 PM "SUPERMAN" - R.E.M.
12:12 PM "FOXY LADY" - JIMI HENDRIX
12:07 PM "THESE THINGS" - SHE WANTS REVENGE
12:07 PM "PUMP IT UP" - ELVIS COSTELLO
12:00 PM "THE CHEMICALS BETWEEN US" - BUSH
11:56 AM "NEVER MISS A BEAT" - KAISER CHIEFS

obviously a harder-eged Triple A; not a Corrinne Colbie Feist in the bunch...

another NTM: Mike Doughty, "Fort Hood", which incorporates "Let the Sunshine In" (!) -- you'd think this'd be a natural for KFOG.

ETA: the DJ makes a lame joke about there being a "Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr writing credit on the label" -- (a) amusing but incorrect; and (b) how many in WRXP's target demo even know who McCoo & Davis are?

Biggest surprise yet on WRXP: Blur's "Girls & Boys".

Switched over to WLNG, and -- TANC, I just wished for this yesterday in Dave's '85 set -- here's "Axel F"!

That one's in my Top 5 of the year.  A friend went to see him in NYC a few months ago, returned from the show and e-mailed me to insist that I download the track.  He was right.

S&C send a "Summer Breeze" our way -- another summer song that was a hit in the fall.

The Boy (and Culture Club) offer "Miss Me Blind", another for the list of songs that mention a previous album title (Kissing to be Clever).

OMFG! Ray Stevens' great, unjustly forgotten "Mr Businessman", as relevant as ever.

Without CGSS, and with WLNG doing high school football this afternoon (!), I've retreated to soulclassics247.com, first time in a while. And I'm rewarded with Boz's "Georgia" -- oh mah dear!

NTM (and quite nice), Fantastic Four,"There Ain't No Soul (Left in These Old Shoes)", very Fauxtown, cribbing from "Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch".

Followed by Dorothy Moore's gorgeous "Misty Blue" -- lissen to me GOOD, baby!
