Kickin' off the new year with KPOO's funky Judge -- he plays some obscure but fab Curtis Mayfield, "Doo Doo Wop is Strong in Here".

TANC: one of Gaz's least-favorite disco records: "Baby Face", the Wing-and-a-Prayer Fife and Drum Corps.  One of the worst LP covers ever, too:



And you should hear their version of "Eleanor Rigby"...

Woo Hoo! the J-5's cover of "Forever Came Today" -- sounds like a 12" mix.

Judge is really into the cheeze now: a discofied instrumental ode to "E.T." that is N.T.M. and pretty awful.

This has been one of Judge's best shows in ages: more disco, SalSoul Orch's "Tangerine". He's got more 12-inchers than a gay porn festival.

listening to Vin Scelsa's 12/27/08 show; he's doing a marvelous extended tribute to Eartha Kitt. "C'est Si Bon", indeed.

Seriously!  Who on earth suggested that?  Cocaine doesn't make you THAT stupid!  (Oh wait ... yeah it does.)

I suspect someone thought it was hilariously "camp" -- as I've said before, so much of early disco (esp the dance-ified covers of very old songs) was aimed at the 40-ish gay men who summered in Fire Island. And so queens who were 10 years old when WWII ended reveled in "Tangerine", "Brazil", "Baby Face" etc etc.

wow -- a NTM Tommy James/Shondells tune: "It's Only Love", sounding like something the Partridges shoulda covered.  A sunshiny surprise.

Pet Clark's gorgeous "Kiss me Goodbye", another of her many unjustly forgotten hits.
