WFMU: The Wiggle Room: Playlist from November 12, 2024

Listener comments!
	6:31pm Krys O.: Hello!
	👻 6:32pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	👻 7:48pm MarkTime: Howdy howdy howdy. I signed in on my phone, but will switch to the laptop after finishing some uploading to Internet Archive.
	👻 7:49pm MarkTime: archive.org has been done most of the last month after a nasty bit of hacking.
	👻 7:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ MarkTime @7:49 Yeah, I've been following the story! All my podcasts are hosted there, and I do a lot of Old Time Radio research there, too. Why pick on archive.org? they're the good guys!
	7:51pm Krys O.: ↳ MarkTime @7:49 Yup, it's been frightening on that front as well.
	👻 7:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @7:51 (Well, I know why... but still... what a bummer.)
	7:54pm Imaginos: Ahoy
	👻 7:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @7:54 Nice to see you in the Digital Salon!
	7:55pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @7:52 I assume it's the people who can't accept history as it truly is
	7:56pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @7:55 You too
	7:58pm Imaginos: Now I'm wanting those donuts!
	8:01pm Krys O.: Del!!!
	👻 8:03pm Austin Rich: I'm a sucker for those "oldies" stations. When I got my first jobs in the late 80's / early 90's, the only radio worth listening to was oldies stations, and I'd listen to those on the way to and from work.
	👻 8:03pm MarkTime: My phone will only let me listen or do the chat room but not both
	8:04pm Krys O.: Sam Cooke was a superstar.
	👻 8:05pm MarkTime: Oldest songs on the radio here are late 1970s ... now they call them "Classic Hits" so as not to scare the younger demos
	8:06pm Imaginos: ↳ MarkTime @8:05 I usually listen to either Sheena's or TuneIn.
	8:07pm Krys O.: ↳ MarkTime @8:05 Absolutely. When I started listening to WCBS-FM in the early 70s, they played 50s through the current day. By the 80s, they started by dropping doo-wop songs and early 50s obscurities. Madonna is oldies now.
	👻 8:08pm Austin Rich: This "Take It Easy" song reminds me of my parents, who lived this kind of music, and would listen to this kind of thing on KZEL, in my region. "Classic Rock" Format, copying the traditional Ohio "Classic Rock" style.
	👻 8:08pm Austin Rich: ... who LIKED this kind of music...
	8:08pm Krys O.: WBGO Newark's jazz station still has the Rhythm Revue with Felix Hernandez on the weekends. He'll play some gems from the 50s through the 70s.
	👻 8:09pm MarkTime: ↳ Krys O. @8:07 WCBS-FM was unusual back then with the "Future Gold" mixed in with the oldies.
	8:10pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:08 My parents liked the rock songs that had a country influence or classical strings. Both of them hated Rod Stewart. Of course, us kids loved Rod.
	👻 8:10pm Austin Rich: I think about this often, because you hear 80's music on almost any station, which is now 40 - 50 years old. When I was a kid, You never heard music from the 30's on the radio, or very much that wasn't VERY recent, by comparison.
	8:10pm Krys O.: ↳ MarkTime @8:09 Exactly.
	👻 8:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:10 Ha! I think my mom saw Rod Stewart once? She was pretty equal opportunity. She loved hair metal, too, and took me to see Skid Row / Bon Jovi. By comparison, my mom had a pretty big ear.
	8:11pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:10 We got to hear music from the 30s and 40s from old movies on TV in the 60s and 70s.
	8:12pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:11 Oddly enough my mother liked Sympathy for the Devil because of the hoo-hoos. We used to chuckle about that one.
	👻 8:12pm MarkTime: The last couple minutes of KJNO will be fun ... they would play TV themes to fill time up to top of the hour
	👻 8:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:11 I often feel out of time, but when I'm putting on Who albums and my wife is listening to Billie Eilish, I start to wonder.
	👻 8:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:12 I could see that. Mom's have good taste, too.
	8:14pm Krys O.: Around 2007 or so I came across a local AM station in NJ that featured doo-wop and early 50s rock. It was so cool to tune in, but they were bought out.
	8:14pm Imaginos: ↳ Krys O. @8:12 I thought the hoo hood went on too long
	8:15pm Krys O.: Oh, man. I binged on the Bob Newhart Show a couple of years ago. It was soooo good to revisit. I watched MTM before that and then followed BNS with Newhart. All stalwart classics.
	👻 8:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:15 I need to do that! I do love me some Newhart.
	👻 8:16pm MarkTime: Thankfully it really didn't rain much once the sum came out.
	8:18pm Krys O.: I really hear the 'bank commercial' nature of this song.
	👻 8:19pm MarkTime: ↳ Krys O. @8:15 The Catchy Comedies channel runs Bob Newhart and Newhart back to back around 9 PM Pacific. They're my usual space-filler before Rick Steves Europe at 10 PM
	👻 8:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ MarkTime @8:19 Hmmmmm. May need to start doing this.
	👻 8:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:18 Ha!
	8:19pm Krys O.: Rick Steves is great.
	👻 8:20pm MarkTime: ↳ Krys O. @8:18 Funny thing ... Bob Hartley's office was set in what really is a bank building on Michigan Avenue
	8:20pm Imaginos: Does anyone else remember the Ha! Channel with the bug logo?
	8:22pm Krys O.: ↳ Imaginos @8:20 I didn't have cable at the time.
	👻 8:24pm MarkTime: ↳ Imaginos @8:20 My roommate had cable but I never saw the Ha! Channel. About the only cable program I remember watching was MST3k
	👻 8:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @8:20 I don't recall it. But there were a lot of cable channels we didn't / couldn't get in rural Oregon.
	👻 8:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ MarkTime @8:24 Once I knew to look for it, it was all I wanted to see. (That and Space Ghost Coast to Coast, and occasionally, The Simpsons / PBS.)
	👻 8:27pm Austin Rich: At the end of 1997 / early 1998, I was nosing around KWVA in Eugene, as a friend of mine was DJing there, and discovered that you didn't need a radio license, and you didn't need to be a student at the college. So I started the long negotiation process that led to me being on at 4 AM on a Tuesday morning, my first radio gig.
	8:33pm Arvo Zylo: HOWDY
	👻 8:33pm MarkTime: Hello!
	8:35pm Arvo Zylo: I can't listen to "country oldies" more than your average Joe. At one point, I looked up every single radio station in the USA that was technically "freeform" and sent them CDs, also listened to some of them. It's kinda nice to listen to country oldies streaming from some place in the middle of nowhere, North Dakota or whereever.
	8:36pm Arvo Zylo: I can* listen
	👻 8:37pm MarkTime: ↳ Austin Rich @8:25 Most of my viewing in the 90s was still on good old VHF and UHF, so yes Simpsons and PBS (we had three different PBS stations I could get in or near CHicago)
	👻 8:37pm Austin Rich: The last station that I worked at before the Pandemic - KMUZ here in the Mid-Valley - had a station manager who made his bones in Alaska, in the late 70's, and was there until around 2010. He was at a lot of stations, and had lots of stories of weird stations in deep Alaska.
	8:38pm Arvo Zylo: Did he make a living at it?
	👻 8:38pm MarkTime: ↳ Arvo Zylo @8:35 I run into country oldies stations when on the road. I can't take much of the new stuff
	👻 8:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @8:38 He did, for the most part. But he didn't live very extravagantly, and made himself pretty valuable by being the only guy in the area who could fix most things.
	👻 8:43pm Austin Rich: I think "K'too!" is the SFX you find in comic books when an ADORABLE child has sneezed.
	8:47pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ MarkTime @8:38 I can't take much country after the '80s, but there are exceptions...
	👻 8:48pm Austin Rich: Late night radio!
	👻 8:49pm Austin Rich: Let's see... I think "K'sup" is what you write on your grocery list when you're going for brevity.
	8:49pm Krys O.: ↳ Arvo Zylo @8:47 The Mavericks were really cool.
	👻 8:49pm Austin Rich: Wow, I sort of forgot about this Angry Johnny song. Weird.
	8:51pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:49 Trying to be like Portishead.
	👻 8:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @8:49 I feel like I should be drinking and watching my ex dance at some club while this song plays...
	👻 8:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:51 Oh, yeah! That's what it is, isn't it? Damn...
	👻 8:52pm MarkTime: Darn dinner time already. Thanks Krys, and thanks everyone for listening!
	8:52pm Krys O.: Thanks for a fun excursion, Mark!
	8:53pm Imaginos: Another cool show
	👻 8:54pm Austin Rich: I do love these old radio air-checks you have. Thanks!
	8:55pm Roberto: KSUP > KTKU
	8:57pm Krys O.: In the late 90s, my ex and I tuned into CMT especially for the Opry on Saturday nights. There were still times when Little Jimmy Dickens, Porter Wagoner, or Jimmy Dean would host.
	8:59pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Krys O. @8:57 nice!
	👻 9:00pm WR: Thank you for the recordings, Mark. Thank you for the streaming, Krys. Onward.
