Playlist for 9/24/10: Stay Humble or You're Sure to Stumble

I generally only seek advice from truck stops, so when I saw a sign from the highway that read, "Stay Humble or You're Sure to Stumble," I knew I had to go with the straighten-up-and-live-right theme this week. Dug into the '80s vinyl for a set and played new music from the Murdocks and the Piney Gir Country Roadshow, who battled with the Breakup Society for longest (and best) song title of the show: I'm Better Off Without A Piece Of A Shell Of A Man vs. She Doesn't Know She's Not Supposed to Like Me Yet.

Playlists for 9/3/10 and 9/10/10: Workin' For My Baby

Doubling up on the playlists after finally getting some time to put them together. Corri and I took a trip to Minneapolis last weekend to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary, which I honored with this week's opening theme. The trip to the Twin Cities and the candylands that are The Electric Fetus and Cheapo Discs netted me some nice used LP finds, some of which I played this week and some of which I wish I allowed to play on the air. Lots of new music this week from Norton Records and the brand new single from the Oblivians. I honored the working man and gal with my opening set last week.

Playlist for 8/13/10: Monkey Lessons Needed

Hoped to promote widespread wiggling with the opening theme this week. Sorry to disappoint anyone aching to do the Slop, the Hully Gully, the Watusi, the Hunch, or the Dirty Hickup (might have made that last one up). Next time. For the fourth week running, I started the show with a song from the storied vaults of Specialty Records, which will get the I Love My Label treatment next week. Miriam from Norton Records e-mailed me the awesome You Tube Badger A Go-Go link featuring an enthusiastic Oshkette doing the wild dairy shuffle circa 1966. The A-Bones provide the soundtrack.
