Vintage Top 40 Radio

I've espoused my love of Reel Radio on another post awhile back when I was discussing great places to go for radio on the internet.  The difference with this site is that it's all vintage Top 40 samples.

Some "exhibits" as they are called are short while some are long and have all of the songs and ads intact.   I could talk about them but the only way to really appreciate it is to hear one.  Once you do, I'm sure some of you will feel the same, that 15 bucks a year to hear gems like this is well worth it.

I'm choosing this two part 2 hour long sample because it's perfect.  It's from an AM station in Louisville, Kentucky circa 1967.  The sound quality is excellent, but that's not the best thing about it.  It's the songs.  The majority of music played during these two hours is all minor hit material.  I'm not sure if the station was just making the wrong picks for rotation or what.  All I know is it makes for some great radio and I love hearing some of these songs that have long been forgotten.  Plus, check out the exclusive Monkees songs played a few days before the release of their new album, Headquarters.  Enjoy!

Primer Course In What's Hip On The Net

David Pogue's Circuits column in the The New York Times yesterday was quite self-effacing.  With no shame he told his readers how he'd never heard of rickrolling.  This was a bit of a stunner coming from a guy who spends his days in the tech and internet world. 

He then pointed me to a site put together by Greg Rutter called You Should Have Seen This.  It consists of 99 things on the internet that you should have seen.  It also works as a good primer for those who may consider themselves newbies to the net. A viewing of these 99 items will keep you from being ridiculed on message boards and chastised in chat rooms for your lack of hipness. 

But mostly, it's good for a lotta laughs.
