Metrowave

This was it. The last Community Radio episode for me. I may get the show going again, but for now, there are just these 66 episodes here. This episode was called love, as you could feel the love in the air that week. 

OK, we were wrapping up our stint on IBM Community Radio at this point. One last mixtape episode before a final theme show. 

A mixtape again? Is this laziness or just too much fun to avoid? 

Hold on there fella. What is this? This is the most specific theme yet. Kind fun idea though, right? 

Did we start with Sunday? Nah, had to be Monday. Why do people start weeks with Sunday all the time? These are songs about the days of the week. 

Another hour-long tribute to a record label. Who does that? We do. For good reason. 

Crashing? Crushing? We've got both here. Odd concept, but it all becomes clearer as you listen. 

Music from a magical land of pop. We regret not assembling and broadcasting this after we returned from a trip there, as we came home with some new discs. 

Not as crazy as it sounds. Think about it. Both loose, free-spirited, don't care what you think kind of attitudes. Check it out. 

Yes. 1968. Was there a better year for music, ever? You may not want to admit it, but you know we're right. 

Shhh.... simmer down. Slide into this one. It's ready for you. Are you ready for it? 

Another mixtape? Two weeks in a row? Freeform radio lives!

Mixed bag. Mixtape. Playlist. Call it whatever you want, just don't deny the power of breaking free of themed shows every now and then! 

You know what this is before you even hit play. It's the sounds of summer. Let it shine! 

All rise! All Stax. One of the most important record labels of all time. 

One hour of The Smiths. Long enough to be deeply satisfying, yet not so long that it makes you want to hurt yourself. 

Resist sisters. Resisters. We are nothing without you. 

No! Yes. But not the Top 40 of today. More like Top 40 selections from throughout pop history (well, an hours worth). 

Harmony is like magic. Gets you right in the feels. Sibling harmony is even better. Dig in and hear for yourself. 

From 2017. All the records we came home with from the Fair. It was a very good year. 

What's more fun than playing someone else's song? In this episode, we get to hear how fun it truly is. 

About as much musical fun as you can have in an hour.  

Garage, the greatest genre of music known to mankind. Not sure how the rest of humanity feels about it though. 

Opening cuts from great albums. Are they all from debut albums too? Need to listen to find out. 

The last episode of Astor Place. Songs about goodbyes. 

Need a perfect hour of music? Look no further. 

A show completely curated from those glorious 7" discs that used to rule the music business. 

Another mixed bag show. Nice assortment of rock and pop cuts. Check it out. It's like opening a mystery box of music! 

Some of the Chuck you would expect, some you would not. Music from one of the greatest entertainers ever. 

You want soul? We got soul. One jam-packed hour of soul. Feel it!

One solid hour of relentless, beautiful, genius artistry. 

No words. Sometimes that is just what the Doctor ordered. 

Songs featuring Woody Allen, and songs Woody featured in his films. Early swing, baby! 

Tracks that were in heavy rotation at Astor Place when this was broadcast in 2016. 

1984 was a damn good year for Rock & Roll. 

You. Me. Us. It's about togetherness, man. Dig it. 

Need a break? Need a drink? Need to relax? Look no further. Here is your accompaniment. 

Pants on fire episode. Songs about lies and lying! 

Fellow DJ Jordan Shade came up with this theme. It is in reference to some of our most beloved artists here in the U.S.A. 

This show is packed with Willie Mitchell-era Al. A perfect hour of music. 

You know all that Christmas music you dread hearing every year? This isn't that. 

An hour of America's Band, with extra focus on their remarkable work in the 70's. 

Is it songs that start with X, Y, or Z? Is it bands that start with an X, Y, or Z? Who cares! Maybe it's both! 

A personal journey through GF's early years of concert-going in NYC. Prog > hippie > punk > college rock. It's all in here. 

More assorted cuts from 2016. 

Hits and deep cuts from the sonic wizard of Japan. Pay attention to the man behind the curtain!

This is a perfect hour of pop - solo tracks and Roxy. 

This episode is best if you are multilingual, or open to breaking free of your English-language pop chains! 

Not like a TV variety show, this is just a mixed bag of tracks. No theme.

Assorted pop and rock tracks from vinyl sources, part 2.
