Anyone know how to tape these shows?? I used to do that when Directv had XM and I could tape off TV.

I'm on a mac using Firefox, and I had to install Flip4Mac to make certain streams work (click here for the KFOG stream I use). Some streams don't open in this player, however, so you would have to find a AT40 strem that can be used here. I've found that the "Windows" icon'd streams on this page sometimes work for me: http://radiotime.com/options/p_117092/American_Top_40_-_The_70s.aspxbut there's a trick to it: hover over the Window stream link and note the javascript parameters that should be revealed in your browser's status bar. The last number in the parentheses is the one you should plug in here: http://stream.radiotime.com/listen.stream?streamId=[javascript_number_here] ok, it sounds confusing, but I'll try to create actual links when I have more time. Anyway, when I find one, and use that URL, the online player shows up in my Firefox like this:  It's pretty cool. Allows me to listen whenever I want, as long as the Firefox window stays open. I can rewind it, pause it, and I can save the stream as a Quicktime movie! I can then convert that QT movie audio track in to an mp3 file using a decent audio app (I use Audacity). |

I'm on a mac using Firefox, and I had to install Flip4Mac to make certain streams work but it can be tricky to find one w a good bitrate. Anyway, when I click on a compatible stream, the online player shows up in my Firefox like this: It's pretty cool. Allows me to listen whenever I want, as long as the Firefox window stays open. I can rewind it, pause it, and I can save the stream as a Quicktime movie! I can then convert that QT movie audio track in to an mp3 file using a decent audio app (I use Audacity). oh, you kids today with yer wacky technology!  |

As for 1971 ...
WOS to Mike Curb and His God Squad with the silly "Burning Bridges."
But I'm liking the funk quotient. Rufus Thomas's "Push and Pull" is still on. Johnnie Taylor's live version of "Jody's Got Your Girl and Gone" in the Wattstax film is far superior to the studio single - it's faster, looser, funkier. "He ha' the sense to express himself!"

Speaking of silly, B.J. Thomas ventures into bubblegum territory with "No Love at All," which would have been a better fit for Mark Lindsay.

A Casey's Extra: Nelson Riddle's instrumental "Lisbon Antigua." How dreadfully boring.

Tuned in early for the Canadian feed and got to hear Martha & the Muffins' fantabulous "Echo Beach"

I'm weirdly hoping to hit 1971 soon for the three different charting versions of "Love Story."
The Francis Lai version (from the movie sndtk) is actually interesting -- dig the Spanish guitar part. I remember thinking at the time that Ree-Ree's cover of "YOU'RE ALL I NEED TO GET BY" was unnecessary, but of course now I love it. But Aretha, honey, it was a lot easier to push you up the hill in '71 than it is now. |

I cringe as Casey perpetuates one of the most annoying mispronunciations there is: "... from the GOLF of Mexico to the GOLF of Alaska..."

Indeed, Mr Lindsay woulda been perfect for that one -- and this Bobby Sherman obscurity, "Cry Like a Baby", would've suited BJ nicely. Why aren't we making millions as A&R guys? OMFWTF-of-the-Week is this instrumental filler track from Janis' Pearl LP. But I wish Casey hadn't given up his practice of playing a song from the #1 album each week. VHM Sammi Smith, the first of many many covers of Kristofferson's "Help Me Make it Thru the Night" -- Gladys' is superior, IMHO. |

Why didn't the Italian-American Anti-Defamation League get upset about Wadsworth Mansion calling "Sweet Mary" a wop, wop, wop?

VHM and proxy of cairo, "Amos Moses" -- left arm gone clean up to the elbow!
BOS the Partridges, "Doesn't Somebody Want To Be Wanted?" -- bonus points for the spoken word part. Where is love? and who is love? I gotta know!

Kudos Mr Kasem for playing both sides of CCR's hit -- and it's followed by another Fogerty comp, Ike & Tina's "Proud Mary". Lissen to da story, now!
BOS2 the J-5's "Mama's Pearl", one of my faves of theirs, and easily the least-played of their first 6 smashes.
