Looks like Hartford's WDRC-FM is copying New York's WCBS-FM and emptying out
its music library for a few days. The songs started at 7:30 Monday morning
with 1910 Fruitgum Company's "1, 2, 3, Red Light" and Len Barry's "1-2-3,"
and have continued since, including the voicetracked overnight hours.
They're in the "C's" right now -- about 2 a.m. Tuesday -- with the Guess
Who's "Clap For the Wolfman" having just followed Gilbert O'Sullivan's
"Clair." No indication when they'll be reaching the final song.
I've heard some real off-beat ones so far: Jefferson's "Baby Take Me In Your
Arms," Joe Bennett and the Sparkletones' "Black Slacks," Sonny Charles and
the Checkmates' "Black Pearl." Too bad for many on this list that this
station remains one of the Web streaming holdouts, having pulled its stream
back in April 2001 in protest of the additional fees for voice-over talent
in commercials.
