Dear Eclectic Dinosaur,
Love the programs, as always. I am a big fan of all your shows. I listen
over the magic of the web all the way from Maybrook, NY. Keep putting out
those sounds that bring back great memories for all.
Old but cool,
Thomas Leahey
Let me start off by saying I'm no optimist. Don't let anyone fool you. So far, 2009 has shown little love to the ol'muldozer...
I generally play & enjoy somber, moody music which has only anchored me further into the hole that is January.SO I've decided to 'spin' some more upbeat, rockin' tunes (EDGEY?) for the inaugural '09 Wrong Side of the Tracks . Here ya go:
1. THE FALL- mr. pharmacist
2. IGGY & THE STOOGES- your pretty face is going to hell
3. TH' LOSIN' STREAKS (sacramento)- he's waiting (the sonics)

Update: He did bring his viola and play! Check out the archived show.
Hello out there in Radio Land!
Our understanding is that the transition teams in the new administration, including those at the FCC, will be using some social change websites to guage interest on certain issues. Help LPFM stations like our stay healthy by supporting the expansion of the LPFM service to larger cities and towns.
Update: This change.org initiative finished in 7th place in the technology policy- not bad considering "finish adopting the metric system" was in the top 3, which went on to the next round.
