Dear Radio-istes,
Here is a song, ooh, so good! Turn it up! Play it over and over! I had forgotten it, but the big bad corporate corporation subscriptiion transmission confliction radio played it the other day, in my big bad new(ish) car- and hearing it once is worth plenty of months of lousy Duran Duran hits. Ah, but, you don't have to pay anything today, because it is your song of the day!
PS It is also a very typical tale of girls meets boy, unrequited love, and a very sad story, but only if you happen to be an oyster.

And while we are on the radio, let's have some other ab fab radio songs and one gem from the jukebox:
Hey Mister, That's Me Up on the Jukebox
Notes: You already know how I feel about Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers: J.M. is the nicest man you'll ever see in concert. Donna Summer is SO underrated. Never can decide what I think about Harry Nilsson: unrecognized genius or just another pretty song face? Indeep is also underrated. Nanci Giffith IS America's Sweetheart. Video Killed the Radio Star is absolute genius- listen for all the little details they put in to remind you of old radio sounds. I refuse to live without the poetry of Mohammed's Radio. Warren Zevon looks like every man I can remember seeing in the mid to late 1970's. Everything Joni Mitchell does is genius. I can't live without Roxy Music, either. James Taylor- what to do with him? He's uncool, he's often annoying; this song IS fantastic.
