Playlist for
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
June 13, 2008
Hosted by Greg Lyon on FRIDAYS at 2-4 pm
on WPVM Asheville (103.5 FM and www.wpvm.org)
Notes:
– Two major themes this week. First and by far most important is the upcoming Asheville appearance (Thursday, July 26 at the Grey Eagle, courtesy of Harvest Records) of Alan and Richard Bishop as "The Brothers Unconnected." The Bishop brothers are 2/3 of Sun City Girls, and this tour is to be an homage to the other third, Charles Gocher, who passed away last year. So I played a bunch of Sun City Girls to get revved up for the show.
– Theme two was the "My First Record" segment. Shaina brought in the first LP she ever bought, Steeleye Span’s 1976 Rocket Cottage. Not a very embarrassing choice, I must say, especially when compared to mine: the Disco Duck Dance Party (Peter Pan Records), also from 1976. Sure, Disco Duck sucks, but I rather liked the second song from the album, the disco Beethoven "A Fifth of Beethoven"–notice the indefinite article, a pun that was obviously beyond my wee head when I bought the record (or had the record purchased for me, as the case no doubt was). My second album was KC and the Sunshine Band Vol. 3. I feel a lot better about that one.
