Well, this week we enter the second half of our first year of the M10 show, and the second week of the Songs of Summer tabulations! So I lined up one thing for the occasion, and am going to work on the fly on the second...
Elvis: Hey, what's this about our food running behind?
Oh, hush, you won't starve, it just means that we might actually get done before we eat!
I don't care fer that much...
You could stand to lose a little weight, Buddy! Anyway, if you'll get over there to the console, please, this week has two debuts, and both from people we're familiar with! The one at #10...
Hey, what the heck?? First we have a dasher trying to get there, then we don't have a dasher, then they can't find a dasher, and now there's a new dasher and they're waiting on the food...
I told you to get off that! They just picked up and are on their way! Now, as I was saying, debuting with new stuff from a new EP coming out in a couple of weeks, here with her friends, the band Day Wave, is Hazel English!
*******************************************************
At least something good is coming out of Oakland these days! So anyhow, I thought that perhaps these next couple of weeks we might go to our Martin Era 2.0 and share some of the songs that were number one this week! Starting with the sixes...
In 1956, it was Morris Stoloff's Moonglow and Theme From Picnic, for its first of 2 weeks...
In 1966...
Lemme guess, the Beatles...
No, sourpuss, it was the Mindbenders and Groovy Kind Of Love, for their single week...
And in 1976, it was Wings with a second week of Silly Love Songs! Which, of course, is pretty close to the Beatles...
Oh, whatever...
KNOCK KNOCK
"Arf, Ruff!"
FOOD'S HERE!!!
Good grief, settle down , you two, you'll scare him off!
***Several frantically stuffing minutes later*****
Man, that was good grub!
See, you big baby! And not a bit late. Now get over there and cue up the next tune... these boys last made the M10 back in the spring of 2016! They have a new lp, When The Wind Forgets Your Name, due out in September; at #9, here's Built To Spill...
**************************************************************
