July 31 Playlist + Next Weeks' Preview

Here's the playlist for this week's Lost And Found Sixties Show: http://wvkr.radioactivity.fm/playlist.html?showoid=1666&date=07-31-2009

I was most excited about some of those rarely heard tracks by acts like The Robbs, The Applejacks, The Ohio Express and The Ides Of March. They're becoming some of my favorite records and I hope the same is true for you.

Glad to get on requests for Mark, Alice and Max. lostoldies@yahoo.com

August 7 will have guest co host Sam The Tattoo Man helping me look back 40 years to Woodstock by bringing in some records by acts HE thinks would've been a good fit for the festival. Hmm...

Then I'll be doing my own Woodstock tribute the following week August 14. Requests welcome.

Off to Philly for a conference. Hopefully I'll check out some used vinyl stores and come back with some great finds to play for ya on future shows.

THANKS FOR LISTENING!

July 17 Playlist 1979 Rock VS Disco: Who Won?

The listneners did!

Today we commemorated 30 years ago July 12, 1979 and Steve Dahl's Disco Demolition Night in Chicago's Comiskey Park. The unofficial death of Disco?

I expected a lot of friction, not to mention down right complaints for playing ~gasp~ DISCO on the show today. Most were appreciative of the mix, except one guy who said, nope, guess 1979 was not a good year for music. WRONG! Most people took a side 30 years ago, either Rock OR Disco, couldn't like both. I, of course, did. Not sure how it sounded all mixed up. Would love YOUR feedback at lostoldies@yahoo.com or leave a public comment.

Remember Friday July 24 it's the Return of Johnny Tremendous and TWO HOURS of 1969 AM Radio Gold handpicked by JT himself. Be there!

Thanks for listening!

July 10 Playlist + Phone Calls +

Today was Lost And Found Sixties culminating in our weekly look back at the Summer of 69,

Hopefully a lot of these songs either brought back some great memories or became new favorites of yours.

I did play some familiar tunes but as I stated a couple times, nothin wrong with it if there's a POINT!

"Oldies" that get played on OTHER radio stations really have no business being played on WVKR if there's no point either thematically or musically. You DJs are just making us sick of them! Just my opinion. Feel free to disagree: lostoldies@yahoo.com

July 10 Playlist: http://wvkr.radioactivity.fm/playlist.html?showoid=1666&date=07-10-2009

Believe me, I LOVE getting phone calls, shows you really have a reaction to what you're hearing.

I ranted on air today about keeping the calls brief. PLEASE know that the rant was directed at one person. They know who they are so if you're thinking "I hope he didn't mean me"--I can assure you I didn't.

Emails are the preferred way to go: lostoldies@yahoo.com

Shoot me a suggestion for next week's show. Thanks for listening!
