Our One Year Anniversary !
This month marks the one year anniversary of The Best Radio You Have Never Heard.
Our proudest achievement is 43 podcast episodes of course (although not all of them have reappeared on this server as archive items) but by far the bigger story is not having repeated a song (well ,maybe two where I spaced out so don't go writing in with your fantastic sleuth ability) in any of the episodes.
My thanks to all of you who listen, read these notes, have passed on my podcast to friends, have links on their web sites and most of all to everyone who just "gets it."
Perry/Chicago
More accurately, it's the Best Mix CD Posing As a Podcast. This compilation show from Chicago leans heavily on classic rock, early alternative, and progressive.
If you've been around the block you've heard a lot of these artists before, and probably some of these songs as well. It doesn't break new ground in terms of content. That's not the point.
The point is juxtaposing and context, blending songs from disparate rock genres in a way that reveals more about them than you previously knew.
It's what they used to do on freeform radio stations like KSAN in the 70s, except there's no spoken interruptions from a DJ.
With that, The Best Radio You Have Never Heard Show hits its mark. You won't hear songs like this on commercial radio stations, but they should be playing them. The show I enjoyed mixed songs from X, Donald Fagen, old Fleetwood Mac, Jackson Browne, and for God's sake even OMD and ELP. It even made me re-evaluate the music of bands I previously did not like (ELP). It's a good learning experience. I can completely envision burning a couple of these shows onto CD's, getting in my car, and taking a long road trip with no concerns or backtracks.
Really, there's no better measuring stick for a music-only podcast than that. (The only thing it lacks is a song list, but just google the lyrics.)
