Its not often one gets to hear an internet station in our archives (and I’m not opposed to posting one if it’s interesting, has historical significance or is just REEEEEEEEELY good!), so this sort of breaks the rules. Having actually received requests to post this show here, I guess perhaps its time for a bit of webmaster fun.
The station is HitOldies.com An internet station which has evolved into what you hear here. Weekends and holidays there’s a staff of live jocks (including me), and we boast playing the greatest hits of four decades… 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. Once in a while we even play a bit newer.
The occasion for this show is the Memorial Day weekend, and like so many other radio stations, on FM and the web, we did a countdown program. When I get the audio from the other jocks, I”ll post that as well.
You never know what this student of both Casey Kasem and Dan Ingram will do, given an AKG 420 Mic and a 37,000 song library. But I like to just have fun. So, here it is, the reason why new airchecks didn’t go up on our favorite site for a week… audio production is time consuming!
Great Stuff Steve……the audio thruout is really clean, full and rich…..you’ve got great processing down to a fine art.
I vote for more episodes. The Steve West Surfing Frenzy…..Steve West’s all time Best Crying Songs…… Steve’s Top 50 Party Starting Songs….Steve West and The Best Wedding First Dance Songs Ever…..Steve Wests Artists for Whom The Guitar was Invented Songs….Steve West’s Kick-Ass Christmas Songs ….Steve West’s All Time Great Cowboy Rockers…..Steve West’s Best Car Songs Ever…..Steve West’s Cold Bold Rolled Super Soul Smashes…..
Well…. lets not overdo it. Steve West’s best barking dog songs is probably the next one haha.
Wow! Cool! Thanks for using my drops on this production!!
I’m serious Steve……there are dozens of categories of rock genre’s ….and specific subject matter tunes that millions of listeners ….. and specialty lps’ like Nilsson’s Scatalogue (a seamless 2 sided lp medley of his songs, woven to tell his life story.)
Richard – You’re welcome. Your work came in handy, thanks for helping out. You’re certainly welcome to do more drops, but contact me for some ideas if you want to submit.
Ron… more are coming. Hang on
