@Mr. Fab: re: Mel Henke. All I could find, in terms of "vintage" releases were all from 1962 (or older). But it looks like whoever is running the Mel Henke Bandcamp page (as the listings on Spotify) all label the album as "Psychedelic Twisters," which is clearly a modern mis-application of the term.
Avatar 8:07pm
Mr Fab:

That's so weird, Austin. Why would they do that? It's quite clearly not a psychedelic song. Even if it was, that's not cool to just change the song name.

Sounds like I missed some fun on the show before this.

Booker T "Boot-Leg." Classic!
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:10pm
Austin Rich:

I have noticed that this weird digital future is getting EVERYTHING wrong, which shouldn't be surprising, unfortunately. Spotify and Bandcamp seem to have things just SLIGHTLY wrong, way too often. It's like when we were all file sharing in the old days, and anything remotely funny was just labeled "Weird Al," confusing kids for generations afterwards.

Spotify in particular seems incapable of getting old comps right, for some reason. Often the title of the song and the artist are swapped.

Jim Randolph has a pretty groovy show, I have to say.

Reminds me to dig up some WVON Cicero/Chicago for a future Wiggle Room
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:16pm
Austin Rich:

Consider yourself reminded. I'm a sucker for these old air checks. Basically, anything older than 1985 (when I got my first radio) sounds magical to me.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:18pm
Austin Rich:

Woah. These stories about African Americans and public schools sounds... strangely current, given the issues with CRT, and violence in the classrooms now, etc.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:19pm
Kat in Chicago:

WVON would be excellent, Mark. Hello Krys and all y'all
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 8:19pm
MarkTime:

The more things change ....
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:20pm
Krys O.:

My mom used to listen to Beautiful Music/Easy Listening stations in the late 60s and the whole family would listen to Polish radio shows on WLIB an eclectic station in NYC that featured gospel and ethnic programming.

These airchecks are golden ephemera.

"Polish radio shows"? I have no idea what that would be, but I'm really curious!
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 8:21pm
MarkTime:

Several radio shows in the Polish language still run in the Chicago market
Avatar 8:22pm
Mr Fab:

second time we've heard Koko Taylor today - Dr Sarcophiguy played her earlier.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:22pm
Austin Rich:

I've heard some "contemporary" polish radio, but I wonder what vintage polish radio made in the US sounded like?
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 8:24pm
MarkTime:

Darn I did not record any on WEDC, WSBC, WOPA, etc. So many polkas
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:24pm
Austin Rich:

Who doesn't enjoy a good polka?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:26pm
Krys O.:

Polish language shows were geared to the greater NYC/NJ Polonia. You could walk down streets in Greenpoint Brooklyn and hear nothing but Polish, tons of Polish restaurants and businesses, clubs and concerts, etc. The sibs and I would throw taglines from the ads as punchlines. And lots of music classical, polka and such.
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 8:26pm
MarkTime:

One of the Chicago stations (WSBC methinks) used to have three polka shows ... Polish, German, and Slovenian
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:27pm
Austin Rich:

This is what I love about radio: it's a slice of culture that you can't get otherwise.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:28pm

Mr. Randolph's voice is divine.

Plus: all these old beer commercials!
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:31pm
Austin Rich:

Oh my! Don is... energetic!
Avatar 8:32pm
Mr Fab:

YES, The “Real” Don Steele - legend! I remember his was perhaps the first voice I intentionally tuned in to when i got my first radio (an AM transistor), when he was probably still on KHJ.
Avatar 8:33pm
Mr Fab:

Due to being in LA, “Real” Don Steele ended up in lots of TV shows & movies, e.g.: he's the announcer in Roger Corman's "Death Race 2000." Sly Stallone nabbed a few points running him over at the end.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:34pm
Austin Rich:

Ahhhhhh! I feel like that voice sort of rang a bell. I'm a "rural Oregon" kid, so if it wasn't on KZEL or one of the Portland stations, we didn't hear it.
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 8:36pm
MarkTime:

Death Race 2000 was the first place I heard "Real" Don Steele, but then I did not visit Los Angeles until 1981. @Austin he work at KISN Portland before Los Angeles
Avatar 8:36pm
Mr Fab:

yeah, like Gary Owens, his voice went far beyond LA radio.

(what the heck is up with this song?!?)
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:37pm
Austin Rich:

@MarkTime: Oh, really? I know we could sometimes get KISN, but I didn't really listen to that station until I lived in Portland proper. By the time I lived there (2000s to 2014) it was an oldies station... but a good one!
Avatar 8:38pm
Mr Fab:

Ah, it's Paul & Linda McC. Wow, don't remember this one. Macca goes fake reggae.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:38pm
Austin Rich:

I love Gary Owens. His voice is great.
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 8:38pm
MarkTime:

This song does not sound familiar ... remember when there were still "regional" hits? Did not hear in Chicago or Miami at the time
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 8:39pm
MarkTime:

I almost included Gary Owens today, but held it back for June
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:39pm
Krys O.:

It was a single credited to Suzy & the Red Stripes. Peak Wings-era.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:40pm
Austin Rich:

I'll clear my calendar for a Gary Owens show.
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 8:40pm
MarkTime:

Kik Dee??
Avatar 8:41pm
Mr Fab:

Ah. Shazam told me it was credited to Paul n Linda. Strange, they used a fake band name?

Kiki Dee! We're going from Koko to Kiki.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:41pm
Austin Rich:

That's coo-coo. Where's Debby Harry?
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 8:41pm
MarkTime:

My wife is a big Wings fan ... I'll ask her if she knows that tune
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:42pm
Austin Rich:

My wife makes me feel like I can soar... but that's more of a metaphor, and not really relevant here.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:42pm
Krys O.:

There was an animated music video for Seaside Woman that was included in the Rupert the Bear home video.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:43pm
Krys O.:

Kiki was in a film with the Small Faces. It was a trifle about jewel thieves, if I recall correctly.

Austin Rich:

Who doesn't love a good heist?
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 8:45pm

Hmmm, Don-O hasn't checked in? I thought he was a "Ten Q" fan

Dateline Diamonds (sounds like a Goon Show episode title)

Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:48pm
Austin Rich:

Remember when movies were advertised on the radio?
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 8:48pm
MarkTime:

@Krys O - my favorite Goon Show involved a gold heist, where they covered up the crime by having the gold made into musical instruments, only all that was delivered was a triangle
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:49pm
Austin Rich:

I need more Goon Show in my life. I have a couple records, but I bet there's a ton online these days.

Sometimes I forget that it's 2022.

Pink Floyd's "Fandango"? Never heard of that album. What alternate universe is this?

Thanks for the memories, @MarkTime! I'm still rooting for you to go weekly...

yeah, Don Steele wasn't paying attention. He's paid to shout, not fact-check the callers!

Thanks for the tip, @Krys O.

MarkTime:

@Krys O - That's the one!
