On Time - 1/11/05

Okay, so the show was going along pretty well and then Ebony showed up at the door and since I'm a bonehead and didn't see the doorbell light blinking I got a call on my cell phone saying, "Open the door." Then she came in and proceeded to tell me all the music I was playing was junk and bad. But this is a criticism I've endured for ages so it rolls off me like a cup off coffee flies off my dashboard.

Anyway, today's show was, once again, all stuff I regularly listen to so "The Good" pile would be all of it. I was very upset about the skipping song ("Reuters" by Wire) that Jeremy Toback tune (from a CD from my buddy Christopher Chaplin which looked like it was a submitted sampler of stuff to use in TV shows or movies - pretty hit or miss over all) was kind of lame.

Ebony picked out the Mandy Moore cover tune, the Kleenex Girl Wonder tune and then asked if we could play the Gladys Knight and The Pips song at the end. She must not have realized how much I love Gladys Knight and The Pips and especially "Midnight Train to Georgia."
