I'll catch this on the replay -- the CBS-FM thing is radio history and quite spectacular.

Hmm, Mark's in meetings, Mike's listening in to NYC--could be quiet here today. Gaz? Davefish? Rastermon?

BOS2, CSNY, Our House. Big sledgehammer.

Yep, and the montage of clips leading into it was pretty nice, too!

I arrived somewhere in the first tenth of this.  But I'm gonna have the CBS stream running simultaneously.  Should be quite the mash.

they haven't changed the graphics yet -- unlessyou're listening to the HD-2 stream, which really IS "Jack". But the stream that was "Jack" all along is now CBS-FM.

Strike that - sometime between then and now, the stream  switched over.  From "Summer in the City" to "Right Back Where We Started From," fitting selections both.

Somehow I recently wound up on the e-mailing list for Alive & Kicking, who are still alive and kicking around as a "party band" in upstate New York.

Yet another BOS--Los Beatles (YAY!), Across the Universe (but not the Wildlife version, alas.)

I do believe we've discussed it here more than once. This song made him a lot of mony, mony.

I got thrown b/c I heard "Glory Days" on the stream.  Is 1985 now "oldies" territory?  Yikes.

I'd agree except for the Rare Earth -- which proved that Rare was an apt name for them, as that song was not Well Done.

More Neil than usual across the board this week, which is a nice thing.  Although I can only handle small doses of mpoier ones like "Don't Let It Bring You Down."

Methinks we've hit tune # 10, Neil's Don't Let It Bring You Down.

This is not "Oldies" -- it's "classic Hits of the '60s '70s & '80s".  And it's working just fine, IMHO. Capital Gold has been doing the same concept for years.  You're not gonna hear hair metal, but you will hear NY-oriented artists like Mr Springsteen and Mr Joel, and upbeat pop records ("Let's Hear it For the Boy" comes to mind).

Hey again, did ya notice that the KFrOG stream is slightly higher quality?  They're up to 52kB now.  Still sounds like everybody is in a cave, but the treble comes through a little better.  Bass a little cleaner too.

LOL!  I still remember Christgau reviewing the album in 1970 and calling BOG "a saga of wedding-night impotence" -- which had not occurred to me until then, but now it seems quite obvious

"and love me, like you tried before..."

GREAT book -- not just about him but about SF during that period. Fascinating stuff.

Lovely Neil. Such a young voice.

Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.

Hahaha! I didn't really notice this on the replay last night, but CBS-FM is playing it right now, and damn, what a great old-fashioned true-stereo way to record a duet. The guy singer on the right, the girl on the left. Kudos to Tommy James.
