March is eye donor awareness, womens history, kidney, colorectal cancer, nutrition and, of course, National Noodle Month. More importantly it's Uner's birthday month.While we're shaking it down to 80's music this weekend the Monthlie is still what it is, a recap of the likes for the classic set. Tune in for the next weeklie for the birthday music.Sonny And Cher - The Beat Goes On (Live)Hear that sound? That is the sound of bile. A humor thick enough to cut a prenup, Sonny and Cher do a number. All in fun though.The Monkees - Buy Me a DogJust cheese, pure cheese - but still a great little forgotten pop song that has more pep than purpose.buyDale Hawkins - Ruby Don't Take Your Love to TownA powerful and deranged voice for one of the more personal takes on the effects of war. Incredibly Leonard Nimoy took a stab at this track - for the benefit of everyone I could not produce that version though.buyTrini Lopez - Corazon De MelonHeart of Melon, watermelon.The Five Blobs - The BlobComposed by Burt Bacharach for the movie of the same name - but somehow not included in the theatrical release. The Five Blobs are actually a quintet-dubbed Bernie Nee (or Knee).The Piglets - Johnny ReggaeI believe the vocals on this track were provided by a trio of sex starved British mums. They sound about 40-ish and chucked full of Reggae Fever - yearning for a big hard dance floor number.buyDislocation Dance - You Can TellEarly Eighties Unknowns from Manchester still sound good. And they've psuedo-reformed.buyClaire Torry - Midnight TrainBig bold and brassy Torre stutters over the horn inflected sounds of this songbook standard. Incidentally famous for faking an orgasm on Pink Floyd's Great Gig in the Sky.buyProcol Harum - BoredomDid you know Procol Harum was Douglas Adam's favorite band. Good reason and good taste. If also absurd, to qoute, "rich and fruity."buyVaretta Dillard - That's Why I CryBorn in 30's Harlem and died in 90's Brooklyn, Dillard had the rough hewn vocal growl that made her songs more than just a 50's pop-chart topper.buyThe Small Faces - Hey GirlA great set of musicians who would later trade out the mod set-up of the early UK 60's to become a solid psychedelic out fit.buyTraffic - House For EveryoneA psychedelic jolt from Steve Winwoods other band.buy10CC - Worst Band in the WorldAnd still a great song. 10cc maybe a drug reference, you ask? Not to worry kids - they actually took their name from the total amount of semen ejaculated by the average male, in metric units because their British like that. The more you know...the more you owe.buyRichards' People - YoyoHad a tough time finding any background on these guys. May be a false attribution.Richard Penniman - Ooh! My SoulCoincidentally his birth name was not Little, but a nickname added later when he grew into it. buyMichael Liggins & The Super Souls - Loaded to the Gills"I never really thought about how special we were back then. We had a different style, we really did ... I didn't realize it then. I just thought, "They did a good job." Mike Lenaburg, producerbuyUnknown - UnknownCan any one help identify this sterling little track?Willie Mitchel - Oh Baby You Turn Me OnA near instrumental.Smoosh - Free to StayThat is a very young voice there. This duo hailing from Seattle is managing some nice - if basic songs. The piano line on this is fabulous.buyStereototal - Wir Tanzen 4-EckWe are dancing a square! Whiz! Shabam! Support the madnessbuyFrankie Ford - Sea CruiseFrankie's got a huge catalog of not quite great numbers - but this was his only hit. In retrospect it is a good example of a weird rock song - I imagine at the time it was just a great song. buyThanks for tuning in. Requests are always wanted - and comments too. Incedentaly I'm none to bright about what month this is so the file name is month04. I'd love to rename it but that function is temporarily unavailable. Stay tuned for further fuckups.
