dang, was all excited to listen online, but apparently it's a corporate site that want to market that format over the airwaves. I would listen, but resent (just a little) the whole idea of some songs I like being shoehorned into the "cheezy" category. But that's how stupid (and afraid) radio/pop culture marketing has become: we're reluctant to admit we like something, and instead have to be all ironic and sh*t so we can still remain cool. I like cheese!
perfect antidote to the generally uninteresting sets today: the KYA retro stream. Donovan, looking thru crys-tal spek-tickles.

i've been listening too. I thought Jerry Butler was telling me about his Nudie Woman... Turns out it's a Moody Woman.... dangit.

yeah, I was hoping for a "listen live" link too. I can't imagine anyone carrying it as their main format -- maybe on weekends, but not 24/7.
One of my faves: Johnny Rivers, "Summer Rain" -- but I always wondered how "the jukebox kept on playin' 'Sgt Pepper's Lonelyhearts Club Band' ", when nothing from that LP was ever a single?

missed that one, like it, too. wow, some good music knowledge here b/w you and urth.
Jr Walker's Shotgun playing now. I always heard the phrase as "Shotgun -- shoot a bullet right now." which of course makes no sense since shotguns use shells. just looked it up:
I said, Shotgun shoot em for he runs now
Do the jerk baby
Do the jerk now
Hey!
KYA just played a vintage commercial for the Rolling Stones concert stop in the Oakland Coliseum. Bill Graham presets their only NorCal appearance. What year would that have been?
The tickets ranged from $4.50 up to a whopping $7.50!
If you wanted tix, "please send your money and a self addressed stamped envelope to the Coliseum" and they will mail the tix back. So cash in one direction and stones tickets in the other direction. I wonder how many of those envelopes -- in both directions -- were open by postal employees?

When was the last time you went to a show that had tickets at that many price levels? Nowadays it's either all one price, or perhaps one exhorbitant price for most seats, except for the nosebleeds and obstructed view, for which they offer a minimal discount.
