WHY Does your One True SPACE PATROL eschew Beatles Day?

Simple!

Now in its 332nd glorious year, the Luxuria Music tradition of Beatles Day - in which the songs of the Feeb Four are played but only by third party representatives - is a great opportunity to see how musicians throughout the world have covered the composiitons of Messrs. Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starkey.  The contributions by Luxuria's stalwart DJs are so overwhelming, so far reaching, and so thoughtfully diverse that I personally felt my own musical resources would add little that was not already in evidence.

Mind you, throughout the 1960s and 1970s, covers of Beatles, Wings, and Lennon covers were so farflung and rampant that somehow there will likely always remain just a few more uncovered gems... like perhaps the Peruvian band We All Together, whose whole reason for being was to cover songs by Wings, or callous ripoffs of "She Loves You" found in Bollywood flicks from the early 1960s.

That's why your SPACE PATROL is sitting out this year's Beatles Day celebration while wisahing all the contributing DJs and listeners the best, with a promise that next year, 2010, I'll pour through the cracks and come up with a Beatles Day episode that'll aim to present goodies that perhaps other DJs have missed (a high hurdle, I know!)

In the mean time, ENJOY everyone!  Your One True SPACE PATROLis heard here at Luxuria Music at 4pm Saturday PT/7pmET/Midnight GMT.
