"No Time To Lose" - The Tarney/Spencer Band "Run Runaway" - Slade "We Ride Tonight" - The Sherbs (Daft Punk sampled this one in their song "Contact", and did it well) "People Who Died" - The Jim Carroll Band I liked "Saturday Night" by Herman Brood & His Wild Romance, but that may not have crossed i...

It's interesting to hear those, as I'd been offered an on-air job at WODJ in 1998, but was in a different market and wasn't ready to move on at that time. I can imagine using the package amongst the playlist songs, and how it'd sound. I sat in on a jingle tracking session once - it was fascinating t...

We've brought up Shooting Star's "Last Chance" on the WLLZ thread, and there are many others, such as: "Nicole" - Point Blank "No Turning Back" - The Sherbs "Dreams" - Barry Goudreau "No More Lies" - Schon/Hammer "Fall Of the Peacemakers" - Molly Hatchet and a favorite that I never actually heard on...

So let it be written - so let it be done.

I'd also suggest "Hang On For Your Life" and "Hollywood" from Shooting Star's second album. Some other lost artists that might be considered include Point Blank, Aldo Nova, Spys, The Tarney-Spencer Band, The Sherbs, and even Michael Bolton's "Fools Game", before he dropped rock altogether. I also re...

That can't be good for the part-time staff if their own station prefers not to mention they work there. Not that morale is a pressing concern in the corporate radio world, but it's been clear for years that the personalities are secondary to the revenue. They might even be behind the cleaning staff,...

Thanks. I'll add Sound City to the list to check out. I've seen the CD, and hadn't connected that to a actual film, although I'm not sure why.

I think I might have the Funk Brothers movie somewhere, but I haven't organized the collection lately to know what's around. I know I've watched it.

Yeah, knowing Steve Kostan's style from over the years, he'd come off a bit too laid back for the format. The station lists no announcers for weekends - is it tracked, or do they have announcers they prefer not to promote? I don't listen to them, but that can be said for a number of stations now and...

Are they trying to be retroactively hip by using the 80's implied meaning of "totally", which was part of Val-speak? Frank Zappa's one actual hit came in 1982, "Valley Girl", featuring his daughter Moon Unit's take on that lingo. I agree with the dictionary definition of the word meaning "completely...

I remember the station trailer era. Ours was a rather low-budget deal, and the trailer had seen better decades. I don't recall the local crowds being too impressed that we were live, but this was after the station's heyday, and I was just glad to be there. The music was handled back at the station, ...

Since WNEM seemed to do the radio-schtick with more than one station, I'll assume it had less to do with whether Mike and Stephanie were a good fit for their format, and more to do with their having the jobs at that particular station. Besides, I doubt WNEM has much ground to stand on to determine w...

Well, if you're getting that I think Meteorologists are underpaid from what I wrote, I guess you think the rest of it is based in reality as well. I'll tell the gang you send your regrets, and that you can't make the Emerald City All-Class Reunion this year. Not that it's the topic at hand, but I do...

Either ride out the storm in the cellar with Auntie Em, Uncle Henry, Hunk, Zeke and Hickory, or take the Dorothy Gale route: complain about the TV coverage to Professor Marvel, rescue Toto from a local dog-napping gang of underpaid Meterologists led by Miss Gulch, and pray for a cell signal in your ...

No surprise that no media outlets in Flint and the Tri-Cities reported anything I can find on Mike and Stephanie's exit. I hadn't noticed because I don't listen to CK anyway. Was WNEM still doing morning show cut-ins with them? Say what you will about whether Mike MacDonald was appropriate for the f...

Even his role in Canadian Bacon made the movie worth watching. (That, and Alan Alda's classic line)
