Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE SUPREMES!

If you've been following Johnny on Twitter this week he's been retweeting a lot of factoids on The Supremes being posted by Motown in mentioning some of their amazing number of awards and #1 hits. There's never been a better girl group. Not one. Diana, Mary & Florence with 'Reflections' getting us started tonight. This is the rare version with the cold ending you've most likely never heard before.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with TEARS FOR FEARS!

Roland and Curt (Of course Johnny's on a first name basis with thousands of stars, it's how one becomes Johnny Action Space Punk) have made quite a few really groovy tunes but for Johnny's money this one, 'Pale Shelter' is his favorite.

Tears for Fears favoring us second tonight

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE WHO!

As regulars of the Music Series know Johnny tries to send you on your way with the last song of the night on a musical high or a real upbeat song. 'Bargain' by The Who more than fits that bill. As the Music Series' wind down here Johnny's gonna go with some of his favorites on his way out so as to really try and leave a big big big musical legacy around these parts.
