Hey, loyal listeners, here's what you (might have) missed today on the Oldies Mixbag:
Of course, we started out with The Chantays and "Pipeline", which serves as teh show's theme song. After that...(these are not in order, as I dropped the CDs, which I'd placed very carefully so they'd stay in order, and they scattered. D'oh!! But, to the best of my memory...) we heard the Mamas & the Papas' "I Saw Her Again Last Night", followed by Archie Bell & the Drells' "Tighten Up," which was followed by a parody, "Loosen Up" by The Nazz. Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" came after that. Then I gabbed for a few minutes and gave out the studio's request line (which is 1-925-424-1220...hint hint...)
I then played Santana's "Smooth", from his Supernatural album, and Barry White came after that, with "Babe, What Am I Gonna Do With You?" The Four Tops was in the mix, with "The Same Old Song", which was, as I said, a rehashed version of "Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch"...still good, though (if not better, in fact...)
On a personal note, I had a "Hard Day's Night" the other night, so to commemorate that, I played (you guessed it,) "A Hard Day's Night" by the Beatles. I briefly stepped outside the bounds of my genre (sort of), and played an a capella version of the Beatles' Eleanor Rigby, sung by the King's Singers.
...and that's pretty much it. I talked a bit about something near and dear to me, the Dead Parrot Sketch from Monty Python. According to Reuters, the ancient Greeks wrote a joke with basically the same premise, substituting a slave for a parrot, however. I thought it was really funny that they'd find this out, so I had to mention it....
Anyway, stay tuned to RadioLasPositas.com, and give us a call at 925-424-1220. Alternatively, you can email me at djidj.rlpc@gmail.com.
