  12:19pm
Emile:

  12:21pm
Cecile:

Fondue for dinner, cherries jubilee for dessert. Be careful with the sterno. You don't want to set the hanging plants in the restaurant on fire.
  12:22pm
BSI:

Where's my amber-colored glass ashtray table?
  12:22pm
frenchee:

Ha, Cecile! Yeah, the ferns don't like FIRE

  12:24pm
frenchee:

WOW, my mom lives in Palm Harbor! Which bar???
  12:24pm
glenn:

a friend of mine has a 45 of, wait for it - wayne newton covering purple haze. i mention this because it seems to me that if there was a clay pigeon favourite record it would probably be amon duul ii doing the mel torme songbook.
  12:25pm
cosmic matrix:

please please please can i order a pu-pu platter? in 1978, i was three.
  12:25pm

Never mind the plants....A touch of flame and this print polyester shirt will go up like "HA-WHUFF!"
  12:26pm
Cecile:

No it was Blue Swede doing Hooked on a Feeling.
  12:26pm
Irene:

Ah, you're doin' me proud! The only version of Hooked On a Feelin' that exists for me is B.J. Thoms' version. Thanks Clay!
  12:27pm
Cecile:

But, Clay, if you have my favorite love song, Troglodyte, that would be great.
  12:27pm
Robert:

Is Al Nordine the one whose act Ken Nordine has been doing? I was sure when I first heard that guy or someone just like him on the radio that his name was Val Nordine, so maybe it was Al I was hearing as "Val" and then Ken stole his act or name or something.
  12:27pm
frenchee:

I think I might've bought an Arnie Aka-Nui LP at a Palm Harbor thrift store once upon a time. The ex got it.
  12:27pm
glenn:

blue swede right. redbone did....... i wanna say indian reservation, but that might be someone else.
  12:27pm

man, I wish my parents were here--they'd love this. My mom will be 81 tomorrow.
  12:28pm
frenchee:

"come and get your love"
  12:28pm
BSI:

Strange flashback triggered by this playlist: In 1978, I discovered that our canary-yellow shag rug was so thick, you could body-surf down the stairs and only suffer minor injuries.
  12:28pm
Parq:

Robert, it's always been Ken, going all the way back to the early 70s (much like ther rest of this show). Irene, ogga-chuckas aren't your style? But you realize, of course, they'd be totally Clay.
  12:29pm
Cecile:

gotta get a woman gotta get a woman gotta get a woman.

I'LL SOCK IT TO YOU BABY!
  12:29pm
Cecile:

OMG. The Rollers.
  12:29pm
glenn:

all this a.m. radio stuff from my formative years is in my cellular memory, to some extent.
  12:30pm
Bad Ronald:

The Rollers... I love you Clay!!!
  12:30pm
Cecile:

Yeah, glenn.
  12:30pm
glenn:

i've been to bay city.
  12:31pm
autodidactic:

Plaid high waters!
  12:31pm
Robert:

Parq, then could Ken have been calling his act "'al Nordine", i.e. "at Nordine" or "according to Nordine"?
  12:31pm
Carmichael:

Hey Clay, Thanks (sorta) for the Rupert Holmes. And I don't even like pina coladas.
  12:34pm
Brian in UK:

I can smell White Plains in the air. The group that is.
  12:36pm
Cecile:

let me guess, Pilot?
  12:36pm
Cecile:

DAMN. I am good.
  12:37pm
Cecile:

I'd never heard this song before today.
  12:37pm
PMD:

Oh, so sorry I missed the first half hour!
@Carmichael, I passed you on the way to Tahoe this weekend.
  12:37pm
Carmichael:

David Paton, Billy Lyall, Stuart Tosh and Ian Bairnson.
  12:37pm
Clay:

Good guess, Cecile!
  12:37pm
Cecile:

A couple of those guys went on to sing in the Alan Parsons Project.
  12:38pm
Carmichael:

All of them except Lyall, who went solo.
  12:39pm
Cecile:

PJ Olsson, who was in my sister's class in high school sings with Parsons now. The only show in the US Parsons played a few years back was at MTU in Houghton, MI, my hometown. Olsson's dad was the head of the music department there.
  12:39pm
dc pat:

I always forget did McCartney write this one? If not he should have...
  12:39pm
Carmichael:

PMD, did you wave at the Auburn Blvd. exit??
  12:39pm
frenchee:

Danny Stiles always plays this song! His wife loved it...
  12:40pm
Cecile:

Don't ask my why I know so much about the Alan Parsons Project.

I love Gilbert O' Sullivan.
No, dcp, Macca wrote the Bonzo Dog Band's "I'm the Urban Spaceman".
  12:40pm
Chris:

aaaahhhhh lone again naturally.... romance (sigh**)
  12:40pm
Carmichael:

Cecile, I know PJ pretty well. Met him through a mutual friend.
  12:40pm
Mike East:

...on your radio dials!
  12:41pm
glenn:

and produced it, and played bass on it.
  12:41pm
noah:

These songs. I have a big ol' dumb grin on my face.
  12:42pm
Chris:

and "naturally" this song comes from the most maligned of musical decades -- the 70s!
  12:42pm
Cecile:

He appeared on the Bonzos record as "Apollo C. Vermouth."

Clay, can you help a sistta out and play some 10CC.

Really? My sister is a really good friend of his older brother's. I used to answer the phone rudely when he called. She was in 7th grade and had more dates than I did, and i was a senior!
  12:42pm
frenchee:

I heart the Bonzo Doo-dahs
  12:42pm
Brian in UK:

Was he called Percy Thrillington?
  12:42pm
Frank Lee:

I'm telling you, Cafe Jacques would hit the spot here. It'd fit right in.
  12:42pm
PMD:

@ C - I waved at the Carmichael exit!
So, we are doing sad love songs too?
  12:42pm
Cecile:

frenchee, mine and my husband's song is "Hunting Tigers".
  12:43pm
Cecile:

We actually met to "nights in white satin", but we both hate that song, so we went with the Bonzos.
  12:43pm
frenchee:

hunting tigers in India-yuh!
  12:43pm
Carmichael:

Cecile, I was at the Houghton concert. Full orchestra, and Peej's parents were there too. 1st and only time I've ever been to Michigan.

  12:44pm
still b/p:

Something like 10CC's Hotel...?
  12:44pm
frenchee:

Cecile, "Nights in White Satin" is an epic opus.We used to call them the Fruity Blues.
  12:44pm
Carmichael:

Rockalizer Baby!
  12:45pm
PMD:

I'd like some Meatloaf! (and not the edible kind) :-)
  12:45pm
Cecile:

That is SO WEIRD. Yep, that's my hometown! I remember doing a TV class project and taping PJ's dad Milt while he was conducting (the rather good) Tech Orchestra.
  12:45pm
Brian in UK:

It's an odd boy who doesn't like FMU!
  12:45pm

Carm, how'd you like my tiny burg?
  12:46pm

That's right, after the good guys left. :/

A long time ago, Brian.
  12:49pm
BSI:

Brian: absolutely, it's a slice of twisted genius.
  12:49pm
Carmichael:

Cecile, from what little I saw of it, I liked it. As a California kid, it was colder than hell. PJ laughed when I told him how cold Lake Tahoe was. Now I know why ...
  12:49pm
Therese:

Lovely to hear you this afternoon, Mr. Pigeon!
  12:49pm
Bad Ronald:

@ Brian - Irwin played it last year - http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/36622

  12:51pm
Carmichael:

Ronald, do you still have that Roger Ruskin Spear? I never got around to dl'ing it.
  12:51pm
Cecile:

This is the kind of schlock that kids who have parents who rocked missed out on. I have a soft spot for some of this stuff.
  12:52pm
Brian in UK:

Saw him play once with his Giant Kinetic Wardrobe. Bonkers
  12:52pm
Cecile:

The easy listening fighting with the rock on the charts. Remember when Music Box Dancer was #1? in the late 70s? It was something straight out of 1958...
  12:53pm
Carmichael:

My Dad's favorite record was Limbo Rock. And I can remember when Quentin's Theme (from Dark Shadows) was on the pop charts.
  12:53pm
BSI:

@Cecile 12:51: exactly. And that is why I'll always have as many Bobby Vinton records as Gong records, etc...
  12:53pm

please tell me you have, and will play, "Frisco Line" from the Country Side of Arthur Prysock.

Sometimes I have to listen to just the good standards and MOR shmaltz for a while.

Neil Innes wrote Urban Spaceman - McCartney produced
  12:54pm
Bad Ronald:

@ Charmichael - I don't have the original DL link but I'd be happy to post the files for you if you'd like.
  12:54pm
Cecile:

thanks fielding, I got that wrong.
  12:55pm

Arthur Prysock makes me cry
  12:55pm

lover hurts sometimes. just ask spider sabitch. mr pigeon, do you have any wonderful sweet, sweet bread on the platter for this feast?
  12:55pm
Cecile:

Carm, every now and again my husband will whistle all of Quentin's theme like a theremin.
  12:56pm
Buford:

but why does Claudine Longet sound like 2 Japanese girls?
  12:56pm
dc pat:

the only one who can sing Look of Love in my book is Dusty.
  12:56pm
Brian in UK:

@Bad Ronald. Thanks, yes it would be Irwin
  12:56pm

BR, that would be great. Just let me know.
  12:57pm
Wendy del Formaggio:

Clay Pigeon! Love the show, even though this Claudine Longet track is creeeeeepy, esp considering her, uh... ski adventures... "don't ever go..."
  12:57pm
Cecile:

Wendy, I KNOW. shiver...

only darrin at the copa compares to this medley!

@ Charmichael - Look Up^
  12:59pm
still b/p:

As soon as Quentin came up, I tried to see if I could whistle it from memory.

If Wayne covered Purple Haze, too bad Jimi didn't cover Danke Shoen or Scarlet Ribbon.
  12:59pm
Irene:

Claudine's version of Look is Love has such a great arrangement. One of my faves.
  12:59pm
Carmichael:

BOONE! DId anyone see the Malcolm in the Middle where David Cassidy played a nightclub singer named Boone? He sang Let's Get This Party Started and Papa Don't Preach. Sorry Wayne, but Boone was the essence of schmaltz.
  12:59pm
glenn:

i proudly possess the vinyl album of the dark shadows soundtrack. when's the movie coming out?
  1:00pm
Derek:

Oh man, Robert Preston all up in here
  1:00pm
Cecile:

To bring things around, I have a Dusty Springfield where she's doing Mockingbird with Jimi Hendrix. Only a little film survives. It's pretty cool. Even makes up for the bad French and Saunders clowining.
  1:01pm
BSI:

OK, there's an appropriate VDay tune: Wifey was named after this tune from Music Man.
  1:01pm
Irene:

All the old Dark Shadows are out on dvd. I was a huge fan as a kid.
  1:01pm

  1:04pm
dc pat:

Dark Shadows use to scare the fuck out of me. I was really little.

Carm: yeah, man--they just can't think of anything new these days.
  1:05pm
PMD:

Kenny Rogers was the first album I ever bought.
  1:05pm
Cecile:

they already remade DS once. It was pretty decent, but the Gulf War got it cancelled.. It kept getting pre-empted for war coverage.
  1:05pm
Carmichael:

I had to sit through General Hospital until my sisters would let me watch Dark Shadows.
  1:07pm
Clay:

Thanks for all your comments. Always like the Kenny Rogers as Mary Arnold (the female singer) was from my hometown of Audubon, Iowa.
  1:08pm
Carmichael:

Clay, was she a member of the 1st Edition?
  1:09pm

Tim Burton directing? I dunno, he might do a decent job. But why mess with the original.? Oh, right,Hollywood has run out of original ideas.

Handsome Harry:

Awhile back I checked out the entire back catalog of Kenny Rogers and the First Edition to see if they had anything else remotely on the same level with “Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In).” Much to my chagrin, they did not. I doubt I'm the only person to have ever reached this sad and sorry conclusion.

Gerry Rafferty .... such a soothing voice

Yes, Carmichael. She replaced Thelma Camacho. Mary Arnold later married Roger Miller and now manages his estate. CW McCall is also from my hometown.

Commercially, they might as well borrow the DS characters and framework, but in terms of flavor or faithfulness, there's really no (satisfying) point in trying to make a movie based on a hokey, low-production-spark, made-for -TV horror serial.

i gotta say... kenny rogers roasters was possibly the worst restaurant ever.
  1:13pm
Carmichael:

Prior to the 1st Edition, Kenny was with Up With People, I think. Or maybe the New Chrsity Minstrels or the Swingle Singers. Anyhoo, it was a group where everybody wore sweaters and smiles. Like someone in A Mighty Wind said, "They look like a toothpaste commercial." I think the acid song was just a marketing thing.

@glenn But a great Seinfeld episode.

Joey Levine was the lead singer of Ohio Express, as well as with 1910 Fruitgum Company and other Super K (Kasenatz & Katz) productions. He wrote a slew of commercial jingles, and finally scored in a huge way with the Dragon Tales cartoon for kids.

weird connection - the drummer for Romeo Void was the same drummer on The Temptations "Papa Was A Rolling Stone". I worked with his wife at the time
and always found that amazing.

Handsome Harry:

That makes two of us who are not down with the Whitesnake.

Innerestin'..thanks Cecile.
Does anybody anywhere play things like Sparks today? Plenty of 70s classic rock out there...but a little deeper variety from the stacks of the day would be nice.
  2:39pm
Cecile:

FMU is a Sparks hotbed. When they did a show in NYC, Fabio did a whole show of Sparks.
  2:40pm
Dan:

IN IDAHO truly misunderstands the concept of freeform radio. Isolating a group of music not to play is as antithetical to freeform as making a DJ stick to a playlist.
  2:40pm
Buford:

Love the cellos in this part...
  2:40pm
BSI:

oooh..... evidently I missed a doozy of an April Fools 7SD...
  2:40pm
Cecile:

I think In Idaho understands, just hates the songs. That's cool.
  2:41pm
Cecile:

BSI ,it was Andy filling in for Irwin one year.
  2:42pm
BSI:

heh! No good could come of that!
  2:42pm

Sometimes radio hurts. It's good to know, though, that it's not due to indifference.

every one of us is backseat deejay. let mr. pigeon do his job. ohhh, how about something from the jackie gleason 'for young lovers' vaults? kidding.
  2:43pm
glenn:

chuck tanner died today, if there's still any pittsburgh pirates fans out there.
  2:43pm
Buford:

Clay's voice may be soft, but he has a steely underbelly of METAL!!
  2:43pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

  2:43pm
PMD:

@ annie, I know. just kidding.
Um, I'll have to check. I've actually be working, and commenting of course.
Yeah, this is a bit heavy...
  2:43pm
Dan B From Upstate:

Yes, that was a weird April Fools Day. Grandma Phyllis from 9-noon, Aunty Pat & Aunty Ellen from noon-3, and Go To Hell With Andy Breckman from 3-6. I can't remember who filled in for 7sD that day... maybe Night People?

There's something endearing about hearing Sonny Bono, rather than that other Bono – whom I always confuse with a bonobo, anyway.
  2:46pm
Cecile:

I am a lady, and I enjoy hard rock. Just not the Crue or Whitesnake.
  2:46pm
dale:

  2:46pm
Cecile:

Oh, noes. I have to leave now. Oy. The song that killed Kiss for half a decade.

Cecile:

  2:47pm
Clay:

Dead Corporate Eyes:

  2:47pm

my wedding song! Let's Stay Together! we tried to book the Rev. Al. Green for our Newport, RI wedding; we were in negotiations with his agent, but his demands, and entourage, were too much for us - but good bless the Rev. Al Green
  2:55pm
frenchee:
