Does It Offend You, Yeah?

So! If you haven't heard, Snow Day is NO LONGER for KIDS! The kid format was fun but limitting. From now on, expect cursing and dirty jokes. My first guest under the new format, musician Eric Carlson, was not much of a potty mouth, but he did great. Besides, by dirty music more than made up for it (the theme was "Songs I Would Not Want Kids To Hear"). Here's what my show looked like:

Experiment gone horribly wrong!

So, today there were good experiments and bad experiments. The good ones were the ones that I did with my guest, Eric Muller of the Exploratorium. The bad one was that I tried to play all vinyl, but ran into some tech problems. I did manage to play some music, here it is.

The Belle Stars- Sign of the Times- The Belle Stars
Toto- Rosanna- IV
Godspell- Beautiful City- Original Soundtrack Recording
Toni Basil- Shoppin' From A to Z- Word of Mouth
The Belle Stars- Iko Iko- The Belle Stars
Goldfrapp- Lovely to C U- Supernature
Linda Ronstadt- Your No Good- Heart Like a Wheel

THEN I played the entire fourth side of the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Ain't Misbehavin'. That cast was comprised of Ken Page, Charlayne Woodard, Armelia McQueen, Nell Carter, and Andre DeSheilds. The songs were:

Keepin' Out of Mischief Now
Find Out What They Like
Fat and Greasy
Black and Blue
I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter
Two Sleepy People
I've Got My Fingers Crossed
I Can't Give You Anything But Love
It's a Sin to Tell a Lie
Honeysuckle Band

See ya real soon!
