Grew up listening to 92.7 WLIR and WDRE. So this new ALT 92.3 that went on the air friday is a nice surprise. I listen to Lithium (station) on xm.

I grew up going to a bunch of concerts in that format when it was still called new wave. The old Malibu nightclub in Lido Beach would host the WLIR concert series. Got to see They Might Be Giants live in that smaller club setting. The bigger shows would play in venues like Jones Beach when the bands got more famous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Lithium gets old, repeats same songs. 94.3 the SHARK is pretty good out here, and 90.7 WFUV is a city station which is good for alternative music. I only like the Adam Sandler Hannukah song. Seeing Dark Star Orchestra at the Paramount in Huntington Sat night, love that venue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many radio stations get into the repeating songs since that how the modern formats have evolved. There is so much more that can get played but gets left out of the regular playlists these days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss so many of the old dj's. Vin Scelsa recently retired and Pete Fornatale died of an aneurysm so they're both gone from the air but there are a couple still working from the late 60's and 70's on Sirius/XM. Cousin Brucie is still on Wednesday and Saturday nights on channel 6, the 60's channel, and I listen to Carol Miller, Meg Griffin, Dusty Street and Jim Ladd regularly and I think that Dennis Elsas is still on the air here in NY. There's really nobody like Scottso though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIK62 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Talk of Christmas songs, instead of Christmas snow. Sounds like everyone is conseding a boring December is on the way. I agree, till mid-month anyway. Just a reminder that CFS goes bananas with Jan., Feb., Mar., Apr., May and June showing a continental wide freeze of -3 to -15 degs. It banishes the red hues and seems to want to start a new Little Ice Age on North America. Maybe it knows of some volcanic or celestial occurence that will befall us. Lol. Oh, and yes, my favorite Chirstmas album would be Phil Spector's from '63 or '64. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decorate pretty early. Life too hectic as it is, shortening the season and going through the trouble of decorating and listening to the music for just a couple weeks seems lame. I still remember the look on a particularly stuffy coworkers face at an office party years ago when she heard some of the lyrics in Fairytale New York, LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Tickling 60 for a couple days in the typical warm areas doesn't really feel like it should count as a torch these days. It's all relative of course and I'm sure the departures are deep enough to qualify, but eh... November is a transition month and we're capable of much warmer, much later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this happens that much. Is the cold end of November / start of December still expected? I'm not seeing BN temps in the forecasts that joe sixpacks like me look at (CPC 8-14 day, accuweather, etc.) I know, inadviseable, but if there was consensus am thinking it would show up there too. Is the consensus back to expecting the usual slightly to moderately AN for the foreseeable future again? Looking at long range commercial forecasts (I know, I know) they've been promising BN three weeks out for the last month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
