10@10: Alternative Takes

[RGMike]

Here's my 2nd 1987 set (done prior to Renee's '87 set):

  6. Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam - Head To Toe
 

any woman who can give head to my toe deserves props.

14-karat love, you are my Jewel of the Nile
When we make love Diamonds are Forever...

This would easily win BOS if Renee played it.

  6. The Rutles - The Children Of Rock 'N' Roll / I Must Be In Love
 

looking forward to this set. I assume that Rutles thing is from the Rutland Weekend Televison LP? I played the heck outta that at my college station.

Long out-of-print, I'm assuming.

As with the '74 set, it has a "soul patrol" feel to it (half of it anyway).  Enjoy!

these ads warning people about food poisoning from improperly stored leftovers is kinda getting on my nerves.

urth, I think you'll especially enjoy the first WKRP clip...

Some wacky combinations there -- Dave Mason and Michael Jackson?!?

Yes, the WKRP bits went over very well w/ me. I need to seek out some episodes from the 2nd & 3rd seasons (they being not available on DVD, so far as I know).

BOS: Squeeze; VHM Roxy & English Beat

Someone on SoundCloud asked me if there was an archive of old Dave Morey 10@10 shows.  Is there one?
If there is, I could do some sets using DM/Don Pardo (or Monty Hall) voices.  Does anyone know?

ETA: RGMike and urth, have you listened to what I have up on the SoundCloud pages?

I'm catching up with '76 and '63 this afternoon...

ETA: Done and Done.  Both stellar, of course.

A day early, but, in honor of Independence Day, here is my 2nd visit to the bicentennial year of '76:

The Stills' version of "Loner" was NTM, as was the Buffett tune -- which is so lovely it's hard to believe it's him.  A lost gem, that.

'87 and '74 yes, the other two I'll try to get to sometime today if I can. I'll give the "all clear" when I've heard either or both. I've been away from home for the last 5 days, so it kinda threw off my listening habits.
