okay, well it's wednesday. i'm listening to aaron on the breakfast of champions on 'mbr (of course!) and i'll now type my playlist from yesterday's show. before i do that, let me thank those that called me: david in somerville (with all his discographical questions -- yikes! i'm no jon pollack!), weepin' willie (with a loving shoutout to his sweetheart), pete m (a former guest deejay on coffeetime), and the nippersnappers who try to snap my nips (that sounds bad... let me rephrase...).
also, what's with those hideous commercials on tv? "i'm every man...i'm every woman..." eeeek! hate that one. and the new holiday Gap ad -- first of all, "give a little bit" ... wasn't that a lame song when it first came out?! ew. and who are some of those annoying ppl in that ad? espec the guy w/ the scarf, jumping around and yelling. ugh. and who's the guy w/ the sunglasses sitting on a stool w/ the gravely voice (and didja notice how many of them have gravely voices?)?
okay, the playlist. format: artist / album title / cd or lp / song title(composer) / label / recording location & date (sometimes i'll guess at the year, in which case it'll be like "50s") / vocalist (unless the vocalist is the artist, in which case this is blank). if any of those entries don't apply, i'll put an ellipsis ("the b*tch stole my dot dot dot!")((inside joke)). and if the album is a compilation, i'll just put "comp" b/c it's really only the original album that matters, isn't it? i'll start w/ the theme (which is the same everyweek) and then the bed (that's the music i talk over).
