The Spirit of the Radio

[TristezaOrange]

radio is for people who dont have a clue wht they want to listen to,otherwise theyd play a cd

Not so true my good man... Many RARE songs can still be educational, yet unobtainable for the masses - as these 'golden oldie stations' have been given some rare gems that are only archived at the station.

And the DJ's are obtainable via e-mail and offer more insight to the rare birds than All Music Guide et al.

If Royskopp really wants to credit the original writers that did 'Blue On Blue' that they blatenly sampled on their Melody AM cd - get in touch with Brian Peroff at AM740. He's a walking encyclopedia of those rare gems.

Hmm, didn't the Royksopp fellas credit Bacharach for that sample? I rather think they did otherwise they'd be sued in a second.

Right you are! A good mate sent me the CD, and I burst out laughing when the song came on - thinking I was listening to AM740 again. I checked the liner notes - and they do give credit where due, but they do mention they're trying to 'Locate the master owner' as it turns out.

That's where I got fuddled up.
