Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band - LP cover

On Monday Dave-FM will celebrate the anniversary of one of the all time greatest albums.   Starting at noon, we’ll play Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band in it’s entirety.  Believe it or not, there is actually a good angle for the McDonald’s Daily Cheese. Do you remember Sgt Pepper’s, the movie? So many people are in it like The Bee Gees, Steve Martin, Aerosmith, Tina Turner and Bonnie Raitt (to name a few!).  You have to watch this hot mess of a trailer.  What a hilarious throwback to the 70’s! Peter Frampton has said that being in this ruined his career.  I can see that.

Killer BEE

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

Tonight is the Scripps National Spelling Bee.  In the past I’ve done songs that feature spelling (r-o-c-k in the u-s-a) but today I decided to change it up.  In honor of the BEE we’ll do songs about BEES.  Anything that mentions bees (Honey Bee, Tom Petty, Lucinda Williams), songs from Sting or songs about honey will work.  Bzzzzzzzzzz!

A few weeks ago Mike suggested I play songs from short rock stars after the last munchkin from the Wizard Of Oz died..  Then I came across a blogger’s list who had the same idea.  Since it’s a short work week, let’s use it for Tuesday’s Radio Free Lunch (lame tie in I know, work with me).  We’ll play all songs from rockers 5′7 and under.  Think Prince, Paul Simon and Eddie Vedder.  Did you know he’s only 5′7?

Update:  Today’s Playlist

Pearl Jam, Evenflow (Eddie Vedder 5″7)
Outrageous, Paul Simon (5″3)
Stuck In A Moment, U2 (Bono 5″7)
Get Up Stand Up, Bob Marley (5″7)
Wavelength, Van Morrison (5″5)
Ain’t Even Done With The Night, John Mellencamp (5″7)
McDonald’s Daily Cheese
I Got You Babe, Sonny (5″5 1/2) and Cher
When Doves Cry, Prince (5″2)
Are You Gonna Go My Way, Lenny Kravitz (5″7)
15 Step, Radiohead (Thom York 5″4)
In The Air Tonight, Phil Collins (5″6)

University of Georgia - Uga the Bulldog

According to Kiplinger, Athens is ranked among one of the best places to live.  In honor of this, Wednesday’s Radio Free Lunch will be all things Athens. We’ll play bands from there (REM, B52’s, Widespread Panic), songs about school (My Old School) or the Dawgs (Hey Bulldog). Can’t wait to see your suggestions!  Go Dawgs!
