Aural Moon unlistenable

[jrstudioboss]

Before I found AM, I had been listening to radioparadise.com, good music, but a very broad spectrum, depending on who was DJing, and AM was a great change because it was more focused on the genre (and much better music at that). A few songs back, SAM played Wall of Voodoo's "Mexican Radio",WTF! Moono'd like some U2 (sorry to disagree with you little brother), what's next, Sanatra and Culture Club? Just because we individuals like an album and want to donate it, and no matter how great it might be, that doesn't necessarily mean it fits here (maybe I'll donate my Spike Jones and C. W. McCall collections!). I make a living as a sculptor, but I've been known to paint on occasions, and when you mix together too many colors, no matter beautiful they may be, you get a real shitty brown, and there are times I find AM losing its vivid hues and starting to smell a little funny; maybe we have reached the time and place to define just what constitutes "prog", and cull out the square pegs - at least from SAM's playlist, if not from the RQ library. Personally, I can't stand the sound of Jon Anderson's voice, but he and Yes are all but foundational in the genre and most of my fellow moonies love them, but are there really enough of us who actually enjoy Sun Ra, Magma, Miles, etc. that necessitates their inclusion - would we be at a loss without them? Maybe just the fact that this thread exists and has grown to this size in three weeks, in and of itself says that we have a problem.

Yeah, WTF??? I also heard the WOV song play here. More than once. I hated that song when it used tp play on the radio more than 25 years ago and it still tightens my colon when I hear it today. Espeacially here.

I do wonder how SAM comes to choose to play that song every now and then since WOV is not in the AM playlist. What gives? Is it a leftover from some show? Just curious.

There are many leftover Gnosis songs on the station. I remember the James Brown song that played a few times a week last year until I removed it. I'd be willing to bet that the Mexican Radio song is one of these. I'm not at home so I can't check.

Stan Ridgway's got some other fun songs. Thais NOT one of them.

That's kinda what I figured was happening.

By the way, I see I'm now a member of the Red Cross

Wall of Voodoo - Gnosis leftover. Just zapped it into oblivion.

Red Cross? I missed it...

Maybe we should send a Mexican (woah Oh!) Radio to the guy that thought AM was "unlistenable".

Yeah, and the problem is picky listeners.



BAM!
