In defense of my shows...not that anyone has complained...I'd like to explain some things. Rationale as it were.
I have made radio shows like this going back to the days of cassettes. I'd pass them around to friends. It's fun to hear one from the 80's that someone will come across in their basement or whatever.
I've had notoriety on these sessions in the past from the PD, The Sun, etc. I will end up posting copies of these stories at some point.
Anyway, the idea has always been to point out the glaring lack of good music programming here in Cleveland. I realize that elsewhere things might not be so dire, and in fact, NYC has recently seen two new rock formats stations emerge. They meld old classic and indie. A step in the right direction.
Alas, here in Cleveland, the rock and roll capital, the airwaves reek of crap thanks to unimaginative programming from Clear Channel and CBS Radio, the two main players here. I do think that things may improve soon. Terrestrial radio realizes that in order to compete with satellite and the emergence of "on the go" internet they need to reinvent themselves.
And, if anyone from CC or CBS need my help, I'm here for ya'.
My show's are recorded live in my studio, just as if on air. Thus, when I record and upload, it is one long track. This way the creative segues, long missing in radio these days, can be done. The offshoot is that it becomes really impossible to capture a single song. Meaning there's no fear of lost sales.
In fact, in my DJ banter, I often encourage to go out out pick up the music. Search further. Discover all of the great new music that is out there.
Anyway, thanks for the comments and compliments. Pass it on.
