Singles Going Steady - Live! Dusty Cult 45 Edition from Oct 23, 2014

The Nazz - "Open My Eyes" [Todd Rundgren always generates a lively discussion on the Accu.] Boyce & Hart - "PO Box 9847" [Monkees version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB95KHWuQmI] The Archies - "Bang Shang A Lang" [OMG. The record was either warped or wasn't on the spindle properly. Awful!!! And my brother-in-law was listening. I kept waiting for it to correct itself. Call me embarrassed.] LeRoy Van Dyke - "THe Auctioneer" od Steiger? - "Poor Jud Is Dead" Blaming Fabio 1966 Pontiac Executive. Loved that car. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_Executive LeRoy Van Dyke - "The Auctioneer" [Heard this growing up on KJAN out of Atlantic, Iowa. Good memories.] Rod Steiger, Gordon Macrae - "Poor Jud Is Dead" [From Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Oklahoma"] Slade - "Run Runaway" [I know there were better Slade songs in the '70's, but that being said, this is nice polished slab.] Paul Hardcastle - "19" [From Wikipedia - "Hardcastle was inspired to create the song after watching Vietnam Requiem, and comparing his own life at 19 to those of the soldiers featured: "...what struck me was how young the soldiers were: the documentary said their average age was 19. I was out having fun in pubs and clubs when I was 19, not being shoved into jungles and shot at." I should have said more about the content of the song. Maybe done some research.] Midnight Star - "Freakazoid" [Watch the video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8OL7I3hpYA] Set: Monica at Tommy Boy Set: Monica and Pseu Set: The Russian Guy Set: A Chat with Fabio Set: Cult 45 Set: Quite A Stack not a single call The Information Society - "Tell Me What's on Your Mind" The Balloon Farm - "A Question of Temperature" Laurie London - "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" [I guess this taps into some long-ago feeling as a kid. Playing kickball during Presbyterean Youth Fellowship.] weather update Horst Jankowski - "A Walk In The Black Forest" [Love love love. Everything about it bounces off the nostalgia gland.] Set: The Musical Influence of Older Brothers and Sisters The Surfaris - "Surfer Joe" Set: Tales of the Triumvirate Bobby Sherman - "Julie Do Ya Love Me" Set: Please make a PLEDGE to The Dusty Show and WFMU!! I need you guys. Far short of my goal and last week coming up. THANKS to those who've pledged. Janet Jackson - "Control" General Kane - "Crack Killed Applejack" [A coincidence that this song seems to sample "Control." Or was it the other way around? Or neither.] Dick Hyman - "Topless Dancers of Corfu" Thanks for listening to this episode of The Dusty Show. I wasn't very prepared for it. It was one of those weeks where I went out to do interviews and I just couldn't find the will. Then I began another show which was to be 60 singles in 60 minutes, but I only got up to 28 minutes and ran out of time. So ... I grabbed some records and headed to the station. I guess that was the idea for SIngles Going Steady anyway, so ... I do feel like I've been flagging a bit during this Silent Fundraiser, and frankly lots has been goin' on. How about you? I hope to get some good shows in ahead, but I'm worried about how I'm going to pull anything worthwhile together for Halloween. We'll see. I do hope that if you listen regularly and you generally like the program that you'll make a pledge right here and now for The Dusty Show and WFMU. I'd sure like to get closer to that goal and save face. I bet you will come through. If you can't, don't worry. Keep listening and ... always remember.
