Street interviews, listener call-ins, vinyl gluttery, sporadic normalcy, original floperas and fiktion, blatant talking over songs, politix, tenderness, and a vague undercurrent of angst. Right up your alley!

The Archies  Bang Shang A Lang   Favoriting RCA  1968  45  OMG. The record was either warped or wasn't on the spindle properly. Awful!!! And my brother-in-law was listening. I kept waiting for it to correct itself. Call me embarrassed.  0:08:50 (Pop-up)
LeRoy Van Dyke  THe Auctioneer   Favoriting         0:09:03 (Pop-up)

  Blaming Fabio
  1966 Pontiac Executive. Loved that car. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_Executive
LeRoy Van Dyke  The Auctioneer   Favoriting Dot  1956    Heard this growing up on KJAN out of Atlantic, Iowa. Good memories.   
Rod Steiger, Gordon Macrae  Poor Jud Is Dead   Favoriting Capitol  1955  45  From Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Oklahoma"   
Slade  Run Runaway   Favoriting RCA Victor  1984  45  I know there were better Slade songs in the '70's, but that being said, this is nice polished slab.   
Paul Hardcastle  19   Favoriting Chrysalis  1985  45  From Wikipedia - "Hardcastle was inspired to create the song after watching Vietnam Requiem, and comparing his own life at 19 to those of the soldiers featured: "...what struck me was how young the soldiers were: the documentary said their average age was 19. I was out having fun in pubs and clubs when I was 19, not being shoved into jungles and shot at."

I should have said more about the content of the song. Maybe done some research. 

 
Midnight Star  Freakazoid   Favoriting Solar  1985  45  Watch the video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8OL7I3hpYA

The Balloon Farm  A Question of Temperature   Favoriting Laurie  1967  45     
Laurie London  He's Got the Whole World in His Hands   Favoriting Laurie  1957  45  I guess this taps into some long-ago feeling as a kid. Playing kickball during Presbyterean Youth Fellowship.   
  weather update
Horst Jankowski  A Walk In The Black Forest   Favoriting Mercury  1965  45  Love love love. Everything about it bounces off the nostalgia gland.

Tales of the Triumvirate
Bobby Sherman  Julie Do Ya Love Me   Favoriting Metromedia  1970  45

Janet Jackson  Control   Favoriting A&M  1986  45     
General Kane  Crack Killed Applejack   Favoriting Gordy  1986  45  A coincidence that this song seems to sample "Control." Or was it the other way around? Or neither.   
Dick Hyman  Topless Dancers of Corfu   Favoriting Command  1969  45     
  Thanks for listening to this episode of The Dusty Show. I wasn't very prepared for it. It was one of those weeks where I went out to do interviews and I just couldn't find the will. Then I began another show which was to be 60 singles in 60 minutes, but I only got up to 28 minutes and ran out of time. So ... I grabbed some records and headed to the station. I guess that was the idea for SIngles Going Steady anyway, so ... I do feel like I've been flagging a bit during this Silent Fundraiser, and frankly lots has been goin' on. How about you? I hope to get some good shows in ahead, but I'm worried about how I'm going to pull anything worthwhile together for Halloween. We'll see. I do hope that if you listen regularly and you generally like the program that you'll make a pledge right here and now for The Dusty Show and WFMU. I'd sure like to get closer to that goal and save face. I bet you will come through. If you can't, don't worry. Keep listening and ... always remember. Jack Bruce

Nazz were a pretty fierce Post-Wh♂ & Cream band w/ some Mamas&Papas Vocal Arrangement skills. Good records. The mix on their version 'Hello It's Me' is kinda wrong ; the vocal levels aren't quite right...dunno if Todd had his SuperProducer skills yet...
