Q:
WHY CALL IT "BRAND NEW OLDIES"?
If you haven't heard it, it is new to
You! "Oldies" because there are 1,000,000+ Songs out there, waiting
to be heard. I play them so YOU will fall in love with some of
them.
"Brand New" because who cares when it was recorded? I
only care how well it's played... and how it makes you FEEL.
RIGHT NOW.
Q:
ARE YOU LIVE? OR ROBOT
RADIO?
Help! I'm
trapped ALIVE! inside
this Library! It's true. Unless there is some Tecnical
Difficulty, I will be here mixing your music LIVE! in-person all night
long!
Or shall I mix your Noon-Midn Bio-Rhythm every Sunday? A
12-hour LIVE! Super Segue Marathon? I can do that!
LIVE!... The Reality TV of
Radio I tried some robo-radio software, but none of it can segue
with instinct, nor get inspired to alter the flow at the very last second
to slide into a new Groove.
I'm working solo without a net! Could
blow it bad at any moment. Just listen for a while. I will make more
mistakes in any given day than Dick Clark has flubbed in his entire
career. LIVE!
Q:
LIVE? SO WHY DON'T YOU
TALK?
Because Music Speaks
Louder Than Words. Once upon a time
I was famous for NOT
talking. I am a Mixmaster. Not a Jock. Kids need a Jock.
Grown-Ups want the most Music possible. me, too.
Once in a
while I will rattle off a string of Artists. More often, I wax eloquent
about a favorite Tune to punctuate a Mix in the Mood (or maybe to
cover up a sloppy segue). Have to do the commercials. I know stuff? So
what? What can I tell you?
Playlists are posted in the
Website. Let the Music speak for itself.
Q:
LIVE? WHY NOT TAKE
REQUESTS?
I love it when
you ask "what's playing right now?" Truth is: I DO fill many
Requests.... a week or two later. After I've build a whole
new Set around your choice.
Or, in a Perfect Moment, I may play
Your Request next! Because I'm mixing it LIVE! Because I CAN!
Because YOU are n The Mood, right there in The Groove with me,
and WOW! it just hits you: The Perfect Segue.
All you do
now is dial fast, get lucky to get through, pray your Request is in The
Library, hope to Gawd it hasn't been played this month, sweat it that
I see the phone is blinking! Will I pick up before your song ends?
whew.
Let me repeat: I want your
input. I need your feedback. I welcome your ideas. BUT.... not
right now.
Right now you are supposed to be relaxed. Laid back.
Immersed completely in the Music of The Moment. So just jot down your
Perfect Segues and e-mail them. Later.
Q:
LIVE? WHY NOT SAY WHAT'S
PLAYING?
oh
yes. For Lovers AND Lonely Hearts.
No way I like sappy sugar-coated Cinderella fantasies. I mix the
most deeply EROTIC Music ever recorded.
ABOUT Love of Life.
Mellow Moods. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Relaxation. Blues with a Feeling. Sensual Spirituality? Slinky jazz
(and I don't mean Kenny G!)
Q:
WHY MIX SO MANY STYLES?
uhhhh— because it's all Good
Stuff?
Q:
WHY SHOULD I LISTEN FOR HOURS?
Please do NOT listen unless you WANT to
Listen. More than half my Library is indexed "NO-REPEAT MONTH". If
you miss it, you really miss it. And the next time you do
hear it, you won't when know it's coming. LIVE! Radio is the next best
mystery to a live band.
Here's
all the Music you've never heard before. Here's all the Music you may never
hear again!
Q:
WHY SO MUCH FOREIGN
MUSIC?
Music is THE
Universal Language we ALL understand. It's only the words that
are not always sung all in English. Still, this is important enough to
answer you seperately.
I better admit this right now... I'm a Slow
Learner. A Fool. Learned all the hard things the hard way. Now
that I've learned to love Music for Music's sake, the Lyrics only give you
7% of the Experience.
Yes, Lyrics
tell a Story... but Music's Mood defines the Emotion. The words change
their meaning depending on how they're sung! A Mix is not about any one
Song. It's about where it takes you.
Since Getz strolled Ipanema and
The Beatles first twanged a sitar, Music has expanded our emotions to
embrace new and strange sounds sounds from distant lands.
Paul
Simon brought us South American and South Africa harmonies. Alaina and
Madonna artfully traslate Arabic yodels for American ears. The erotic
beats in Bio-Rhythm is irresistable in every language.
Q:
WHY NOT PLAY MORE HITS?
I am not a Jock. I am an Entertainent
Engineer. I am supposed to Turn You On. Not sell you Singles.
Actually, I hope and pray each Maximum Music Mix inspires you to purchase
more music by more Artists. Variety! But how can you buy it if you
never hear it?
FAMILAR ARTISTS
sing other songs
FAMILAR SONGS by
other Artists
SWEET SONGS by
Heavy Artists
POSITIVE ATTITUDE
in all Songs
So my only J.O.B.
is to TURN YOU ON. If I'm any good at it, now and then I BLOW YOUR
MIND.
One Motto to keep in mind:
Q:
WHERE DO I FIND THIS MUSIC TO
BUY?
Music is
theraputic.
Research proves
many people pay no attention to the words. I often do segues using Lyrics,
but choose all music based on ATTITUDE. How it makes you
FEEL.
Because SOMEBODY has to pay for YOUR Free
Music. Sorry to break it this way, but there is no Free Lunch.
Sponsors pay for every segue. I could get rich if I sold Ads between every
other Song. But THAT ain't fun.
I made a Promise: The Music
Never Stops. You and I both know I cannot be 100% faithful. But I
keep dealing to ensure every Commercial has Music running through it...
or under it.
Q:
WHAT MAKES YOU SO DIFFERENT?
.I don't want an Audience. I just
want you. I don't play to the crowd. I'm just a Music Lover
sharing all the goodies I can find. I don't really do a "show". Simply
create a Mood. Then change it!
Q:
WHY SUCH LONG COMMERCIALS?
I am so lucky. In these days when
Radio sucks big time, my Sponsors work WITH me to make those necessary
Commercials fit into the flow as smoothly as possible.
Can't
you listen to a longer, clearer Message from the people who just gave
you TWO HOURS of .
THANK THEM FOR THE MUSIC. It all
comes down to YOUR patronage of my Sponsors. You must tell them and
show them how much YOU appreciate THEIR choice to support the ol'
soft-sell.
Q:
WHY ARE YOU ONLY ON WEEKENDS?
Good Music is hard to find. Music
is ShowBiz. But Radio is BigBiz. Meetings. When not kissy-facing with
my sweet, sweet Sponsors, I spend the rest of the week tracking down and
trying out Brand New Oldies for your next weekend Mix.
Q:
WHEN IS fogBOUND ON?
I will be on LIVE! whenever YOU DEMAND
IT! Except Mornings. I don't do Mornings.
Here's what
I'm trying to do. Can you help me do it like this?:
BEST:
Noon-Midnight LIVE! Sunday Segue
GROW:
Noon-Midnight LIVE! Saturday Segue
(OR): 10pm -
4am LIVE! Weekend Segue (3 nights)
(OR):
Midnight-5am LIVE! Weekend Segue (3 nights)
Q:
WHY NOT A WHOLE 24/7 CHANNEL?
Blessings upon you, O Music
Lover. One day soon I hope to see Radio and The Music Biz vital and
re-energized to join us in the 21st Century.
Just like the original
Underground Radio scored the Soundtrack for our Cultural Revolution in the
'60s, America needs a Musical Attitude Adjustment. We need our Music to
be a Postive Motivation. We want Radio to sound like our own Power
to WIN!
