Alan Haber's Pure Pop Radio

by Alan Haber – Pure Pop Radio

This week’s Pure Pop Radio specialty shows kick off with Roger Miller’s “England Swings,” swinging pendulum and all. From there, it’s nothing less than a potpourri of melodic pop classics, along with a visit to Pure Pop Radio: In Conversation from Klaatu’s Terry Draper.

Tomorrow night–Tuesday, February 13, at 8 pm ET on Pop that Goes Crunch Radio–Roger Miller sings “England Swings,” ushering in a parade of top pop stars performing both their latest hits and beloved sides from across the decades on the first of two Pop Tunes Deejay Shows. New this week: Chris Price’s latest collection that easily equals or even surpasses his last Ominvore release, the momentous Stop Talking; Graham Gouldman’s EP, Play Nice and Share; Amy Rigby’s The Old Guys; Juliana Hatfield’s upcoming Juliana Hatfield Sings Olivia Newton-John; and Daisy House’s Crossroads. And from the archives: The Four Tops, Culture Club, Gilbert O’Sullivan, Aimee Mann, and lots more.

Wednesday night, February 14 at 9 pm ET, Klaatu’s Terry Draper drops in to Pure Pop Radio: In Conversation to speak with me about his latest top-flight collection, Once Upon a Memory. We play, and Terry talks about, three songs from the album, including “All Over Morocco,” a song written in 1979 that was brought up for inclusion on Klaatu’s Endangered Species record but ultimately given a thumbs-down from producer Chris Bond. The recording, which originally appeared on Terry’s Civil War album, features Dee Long on classical guitar and vocals, and John Woloschuk on bass and vocals. You won’t want to miss this show.

This Thursday, February 15 at 8 pm ET, the second all-new Pop Tunes Deejay Show of the week begins with the Monkees’ “Forget that Girl” and ends with the Happenings’ “I Got Rhythm” from 1967’s Psycle album. In between, you’ll hear Robyn Gibson, Dave Caruso, more from Graham Gouldman and Juliana Hatfield, and a double-shot of Beach Boys-influenced love from Tim Smolens’ I.S.S., plus a whole lot more.

All told, it’s three hours of melodic pop love this week from Alan Haber’s Pop Tunes Deejay Show and Pure Pop Radio: In Conversation. Can you dig it? We believe you can!
