Thanks for listening!
Or you could listen, if you clicked this. (Link to CJAM archive lasts for about 4-6 weeks from original broadcast date.)
...one of the best shows I've heard in a long time!
ReplyDeleteGeorgie Fame!? I had no idea Georgie Fame was like that. I must've gotten him mixed up with someone else. YaYa to "YehYeh"! I've heard this before, but only in the now distant past. Now its on my playlist!
ReplyDeleteThe 4 song set that begins with Porcelain Forehead is quite the pinball game!
ReplyDeleteJim Messina? That Jim Messina? Yep, I checked. No way!
ReplyDelete....and that Mogwai! Great, and to be followed by "Cattle Herder's Chant"? I might have to listen to that 70 times.
ReplyDeleteThe Eccodek is quite charming in a kinda (good) 90s way.
ReplyDeleteHave I ever heard the Bandwagon version before. I don't think so!
ReplyDelete....even the Johnny West is kinda up my alley!
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for the comments, which are very helpful.
ReplyDeleteNot recognising the name "Messina" until after I played that 60s surf song has been vaguely haunting me ever since. There are some 70s sounds that I cannot forgive...
(ha ha)
