gts190 “annish” Always hate to cut out a Beatles tune, but the last one cut from this show was by Kaouding Cissoko. 01-01 Milton Brown – Decca 5342 – Wheezie Anna (1936) 01-02 Johnny Marlo – Reel 102 – Two Ton Annie (1961) 01-03 Hal Willis – Coast To Coast 07 – Louisianna Anna (1995)…

gts019 “religish” Seems like a good time to re-do this one, since lately people are piling on the Pope, just ’cause he’s a White Sox fan. Tiptoe a tightrope, how not to offend anybody but still ensure that each ep of this show has something for everyone to hate? Humor, be thy crutch. 01-01 Carmen…

gts005 “leftshwept” [originally aired March 2022, but with the last 1/4 of the show redone] You know how those dating apps work, swipe right for yum and sweep left for ugh. But what happens to the left-swept? Who are they, why are they perennially swiped sinisterially, and where do they go after they drop off…

gts189 “invashun” They slime among us! 01-01 Oklahoma Wranglers – Flying Saucer Baby 01-02 Carmen Ghia & The Hotrods – Flying Saucer Baby 01 – Flying Saucer Baby (2012) 01-03 The 5,6,7,8’s – Bomb The Rocks 13 – My Boyfriend From Outer Space 01-04 Jesse Lee Turner – The Little Space Girl 01-05 Lola Payola…

gts188 “misshn” Not just twirling ’round the Earth. Not just twirling ’round the Earth. 01-01 Danny Overbea – Federal 12324 – Space Time (1958) — let’s get going, from a fellow who backed Ella Mae Morse then joined The Flamingos. Had a dozen singles on his own, from the mid-50’s to mid-60’s. 01-02 The Scientific…

gts006 “madnesh” When originally aired, this one had horrible mic-breaks, due to a debacle with the microphone. Here, have re-done them… You know lack of proper sleep can arise from mental infirmity, but don’t forget it can run the other way too! Snoozin’ lets the brain sort out everything it encountered since the last time…

gts187 “ekshcursion” Lace up your space boots! There are now only 8 planets, but we’re visiting all of the nine original lineup. 01-01 Joe Montgomery – Liberty Bell 9019 – Planetary Run (1957) — the A-side of the 45rpm, but the B-side did better: “Since You Fell In Love” was picked up the next year…

gts007 “shekill” What do you do with a drunken sailor? After he’s been out whoring and stumbles into your flat an hour before daybreak expecting a warm bed? If you’re Nellie or Joan you stab him (knife and icepick, respectively), Miss Otis and Frankie shoot him, Wanda and Mary Ann (and Marry Ann too) poison…

gts008 “betterish” Much better! 01-01 Doris Day & Les Brown Orchestra – Columbia 36779 – My Dreams Are Getting Better All The Time (1945) — sex appeal before MTV! 01-02 Gyroscope – Cohesion 03 – Baby I’m Getting Better (2010) — originally discarded by the band because “we were trying to write a rock record.”…

gts186 “detroitish” Those funny little ones with the big hole in the middle. 01-01 The Supremes – Life Beats (1970) — recorded for the “Stoned Love” album but went unreleased. No Diana Ross on this 1970 version of the Supremes, here replaced by Jean Terrell (Velma Jean Terrell), who is not related to Tammi Terrell…
