July 25th Playlist

What a fantastic Friday for radio luvvers! Primitive George was at the top of his game. The opening set was a bit long....but the diversity of his music after that (except for Beck :-) was SUPERB!

Then I bubblgummed up the works for a couple hours: http://wvkr.radioactivity.fm/playlist.html?djoid=1633&date=07-25-2008

Also filled in for The Bachelor Pad At Colony Three last night. You'll see that playlist on the above link too. Who knew Johnny Tremendous could croon like that? Beautiful!

Also great to hang out with Vince Vincent for awhile. He needs to retire now, because he'll NEVER top what he did last night. His show was THAT good. Other DJs try to mix in 70s punk & 60s classics with varying degrees of success but Vince nailed it! Kept me listening from start to finish. Devo's "Mongoloid" following The Honeycombs' "Have I The Right" should not have worked but it did. Brilliantly!

And can I just vent here? There is absolutely NO reason why ANY dj on WVKR should play The Police' "Every Breath You Take" unless it has SOME kind of context, either thematically or historically. One can hear that on ANY radio station at almost ANY time. For a VKR jock to play that is utterly Ridiculous!

I'm off next Friday August 1 but Lyn the She Devil will fill in. See you August 8th!
