Yeah, I don't do them very often, but this one has been kicking around in my head for the last few weeks.

Monday, September 17th, starting at 7:00pm I have my shortest play list ever as I bring you, The Longs!

Yep, enjoy an evening of some of the longer popular songs ever released.

What makes a "long song"? Glad you asked, it has to be longer than 5:59 and have received at least some radio air play when it was released. (So no goofy spoken word/Gregorian Chant/techno remixes/etc)

Why 5:59? Well, that's the length of the longest ever #1 hit, Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

So tune into The Cape for a "Long Storm", Monday September 17th.

You asked for it...


I Heard It Through the Grapevine (Creedance Clearwater Revival) -- 11:07

Stairway to Heaven (Led Zeppelin) -- 8:02

Desolation Row (Bob Dylan) -- 11:00 ish

Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding (Elton John) -- 10:49

Free Bird (Lynyrd Skynyrd) -- 9-13 min, depending on version

Rapper's Delight (Sugarhill Gang) -- 16 min ish

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (Iron Butterfly) -- 17 min


and you mustn't forget:

Alice's Restaurant (Arlo Guthrie) -- 18:20

Although if someone wants to wait until Thanksgiving to play it, I'll understand

Hmmm...


Does "Earache My Eye" count?

I was planning on holding off playing Alice's until my show the week of Thanksgiving.

Have not totally decided on playing it next week though.

Do you have the long version of Orbital - The Box [ I did but I accidently deleted it [ stupid monkey]] - its 28 minutes, but its actually got the beautifaul singing part near the last half of it.

Nevermind - I don't think it got air-play.

This Corrosion - Sisters of Mercy - I think its like 7-8 minutes, maybe longer
