Did your fingers automatically twitch to "d" when Ozy's Everything You Ever
Wanted To Know About Spooky post went by a few days ago? Full review there ...

Speaking of Dave Clarke, the Chemical Brothers remix of his "No One's Driving"
is the bomb!!! There's been much ado about the sort-of-reincarnation of our
(L.A.'s) old MARS 103.1 station (as "Groove Radio"; see www.grooveradio.com)
around here lately; during the daytime whenever I've tuned in, almost all I
ever hear is a mix of handbag diva anthems (playlisted, so you hear them over
and over ... and over ... ) and old warmed-over Disco chestnuts. Imagine my
shock when last Sunday night I tuned in to their Top 15 Countdown and was
presented with Dave Clarke, a great new Joey Beltram (as "JB3") track, a cool
Trancer from local D.J. Taylor, and Orbital's "The Box" all in the top 15 ...
(In case anyone cares, the Top 2 were the Armand Van Helden remix of Tori
Amos' phallic reference song ... "Honey bring it close to my lips yeah" ...
"Gotta be big" (-: ... and Todd Terry's remix of the incredibly annoying
Re[ea]l to Re[ea]l's "Are You Ready" ... bleah) Luckily, this was immediately
followed by a "DJs in the mix" show which featured a slammin' exclusive
Leftfield set (anyone here in L.A. that taped this???). For a brief moment,
IDM commercial radio existed, and it was glorious.
