It's no secret that the Beatles had an anti-American agenda. They were, after all, communist agents.

We here at Luxuria Music have always tried to do our part to keep the evil influence of the Beatles from infiltrating our playlists. Except, that is, for that one day a year when we celebrate the death of their leader, John "Vladimir Ilyich" Lennon. Every year on the aniversary of his assassination, we take a little time out from our holiday shopping to gloat at the heroic removal of this most insidious agent of chaos.

I'm sure you all remember "C'mon Live A Little's" glorious paticipation in this grand event. This Saturday, we'll take a fond look back at Lux's Big Beatles Day. What (aside from senseless violence) could be more all-American than reruns?

Here at Bostworld Headquarters, we look forward to Saturday as we do no other day of the week. If we didn't know better, we'd think it was Friday, we love it so much.  In fact, we can't wait for you to get Internet radio in your car, so we can provide drive-time programming for those unfortunates for whom Saturday might as well be Friday.

Sometimes we've gotta wonder about "C'mon Live A Little" host Derrick Bostrom: is he lazy, stupid or just inconsiderate? 

I found this album as I did most of my records — for a buck at a thrift store down in Phoenix somewhere. But I had not idea how dear it was until recently when one of my fellow deejays at LuxuriaMusic told me he’d give his life for it. Seems its lead off track, “Swinging London,” was included on the second volume of “The In-Kraut,” a popular series of groovy German pop obscurities from the sixties and seventies. Oddly enough, this album doesn’t appear to have found its way onto any of the share sites on my short list. Either nobody else has it, or the blogosphere has issued a collective thumbs down on this album.

If your answer to the above question is "yes," we hope you'll consider checking in with us at 3PM (Pacific Time) for "C'mon Live A Little," the show that crams as much music as it can into a broadcast hour. For the record, that's just just a couple minutes shy of 60 minutes worth, allowing for the occasional commercial or station ID. But what's a couple minutes among friends? What remains promises to be pure ear candy. Once again, host Derrick Bostrom has cobbled together a typically puerile selection of tracks which are sure to get you off your feet -- if not to dance then certainly to do housework.

This week on "C'mon Live A Little," host Derrick Bostrom salutes the fruition a dream long held by so many of us: the rerelease of "Love Got In My Way" by Joe E. 

How was everyone's July? Are you glad to put it behind you, or do you look back at last month with wistful nostalgia? I know they say the "dog days" of summer are officially unleashed in August, but I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I suppose it depends on whether you a "dog person" or not.
