Those are very cool Stu!
For my contribution this week, I'd like to annouce that the BANG MUSIC HOUR is back, and now it's two hours! (And I say F that, and usually go about 2:15 to sometimes even 2:30.. I will not be constrained by time!)
Every wednesday at 7PM on The Baynet Radio
http://radio.thebaynet.com/
Good news, this is a real station that pays it's ASCAP fees, so I'm free to play anything I want. They're also ranked in the top 25 of internet radio stations as far as listeners go, or at least so they say. The parent site does hellacious traffic.
Anyway, it's not going to be stuff you'll typically hear on the radio, and even though I may play a few songs you've heard, my goal is to give you at least 75% of a show that you've either never heard, or haven't heard much of. When I do play a big time artist, I try to play tracks that aren't the radio hits you've heard a zillion times. I've gotten some excellent feedback on the show.
I run the gamut from the 40s on thru the modern era... just good killer tunes of a lot of different genres. In last week's show I did everything from psychedelia to shoegaze to country to rockabilly to garage to surf to blues, and even some Hendrix jazz fusion in there.. For an example of what I'm doing, the playlist for last week's show is
The Forty Fives Super Pill
