I have a friend who says Kshe must be the richest station around because the haven't gotten a new album/cd in 30 someodd years. You can tune in any day of the week and most probably will hear Golden Country or Wheel In the Sky. All I have to say is "Thank God for KDHX and all the wonderful programs and hosts any time of the day, any day of the week. None of the hits all of the time."AntoniaJimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35422342.post-56938118695488912252011-01-10T22:48:33.468-05:002011-01-10T22:48:33.468-05:00Hi Ted, Will here.

I see somebody beat me to linking to "Everyone's Agreed..." I bought that when it came out and still have my very beat-up copy. And bought Ferguslie Park and Can I Have My Money Back? when they came out, too. I no longer have the latter, not sure about Ferguslie.<br /><br />Somebody please explain to me which one Rafferty is in the Stealers Wheel video for "Stuck in the Middle." If that's Joe Egan singing, I don't see Rafferty. And if that's Egan singing, it's not Rafferty. And if it's not Egan singing, explain this: http://ow.ly/3BAn0 And don't tell me that this is not the guy who sang "Stuck...": http://ow.ly/3BAuE<br /><br />So where's Joe Egan?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35422342.post-14168953693655899372011-01-07T11:55:01.587-05:002011-01-07T11:55:01.587-05:00Very nice, Ted.

I think you hit the nail on the head when you pointed out the bartender was too young to know the terrors of the establishment rock hegemony of the late 70s. I don't even hate "Baker Street" the way you do, but it was part of the enemy keeping all those great records off the air. "Stuck in the Middle" is indeed, much better, but there were even better Stealers Wheel songs, though I only first heard them the other day when a co-worker at Euclid Records threw on an old album.Steve Picknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35422342.post-27478587243629118202011-01-07T11:21:49.781-05:002011-01-07T11:21:49.781-05:00Great post, Ted, and you matched my indifference t...Great post, Ted, and you matched my indifference to Rafferty perfectly. What is also good is the distinction you make between hip and cool. Hipsters who try too hard are scenesters, looking for attention, and hipsters who persist simply just are who they are, and give no shits about it.<br /><br />I also appreciate hearing a mono recording every now and then, though the stereo version is sufficiently well done that it's hardly necessary. I just like mono in the car and on my headphones sometimes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065104384286114607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35422342.post-44410375794823497752011-01-07T10:03:49.394-05:002011-01-07T10:03:49.394-05:00Rafferty?

Serio...Rafferty? This is one the you need to hear.<br /><br />Seriously -- no better single was released in 1973.<br />http://powerpop.blogspot.com/2011/01/gerry-rafferty-1947-2011.<br /><br />BTW -- I love this place, and have downloaded from it copiously.steve simelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247393763004076992noreply@blogger.com
