Genrepalooza Presents: FG Radio - Tons of Lithium but very little Chill (6 Viewers)

I'll take Got A Hold On Me  for the Fleetwood Mac category.  (C McVie)  I like her gentle music sometimes.

How the heck do I search the list.  Once again, I am defeated by technology.  And I don't Spotify, so I need someone to enter this stuff.

And thanks for some of the music listed already.  It's like having a 10,000 disc CD player on shuffle.

This was all set up again because of your post where you said you missed the folk here. 

I've added "Got A Hold On Me" to the Spotify list. 

 
Dunno if this category is still active, but I'm just listening to my "favorite songs" playlist and wanted to throw this in for "Strings and Things":

Billy Bragg - The Only One

 
And for bonus one-word-title night, since he has come up tonight on my mix, too:

Richard Buckner - Jewelbomb

How this guy didn't become the biggest thing ever is beyond me.

 
I had a sweet music-related experience today.  My very dear friend Jane had a baby in August, and between that and pandemic we haven't seen each other as much as we otherwise had.  And she had her baby with a new-ish guy - they did this purposefully so it's not some fly-by-night relationship, but just newer.  So my time with her partner, Ryan, has been very limited by circumstance.

She sent me a message today saying that Ryan asked her if my birthday was today.  The reason was that he was listening to awesome local station KEXP and heard someone call in to dedicate Prince's "Starfish and Coffee" to someone who was celebrating their birthday in [my dumb little town].  

I mean, how sweet is that?  He knew that I loved that song from some conversation I do not even remember, given we haven't even had that many, and associated it with me so strongly that he thought that dedication might be to me.  And then cared enough to ask her about it.  I told her she got herself a good one there.  :wub:

Strings N' Things is very much still active for yesterday (Friday) and today (Saturday). I'm also extending the dice roll to Sunday, because the rock don't roll on Shabbos, either. (But he is allowed commenting on the internet.) 

Unless somebody strenuously objects, I figure that Monday-Tuesday, Wednesday-Thursday, and Fri-Sat-Sun will be the days that each dice roll covers. So there will be one roll Monday, one Wednesday, and one Friday. The two days for each roll are so that it's a light exercise and also that categories don't quickly disappear without a playlist or some acknowledgment.

Nice sentiment. He's attentive, at the very least. Cool.

I'm always on the lookout for new (to me) independent radio stations. I went to KEXP's recent playlist and it was all hip-hop (which is fine, though not my thing as a sole format), but that must be a specialty show because I went back further and it looks like they are a AAA format. Added to my list!

I have several that I stream pretty regularly: my locals (WTMD Baltimore and WNRN Richmond/Charlottesville - I support both), WXPN out of Philly, KCSN in California, KUTX Austin, WTUL in New Orleans. They are all AAA channels and play the same core artists (Florence & The Machine, Jason Isbell, Black Keys, Leon Bridges, legacy artists like Willie and Mavis Staples, etc....), but all have their own sounds (promoting local acts, for one) and unique specialty shows. I've been on a KUTX kick lately, but I'll flop around - especially on weekends when most of the specialty programming hits.

I couldn't put mine in either. The playlist isn't collaborative. @Pip's Invitation may be in charge of Strings N' Things.

Criminy. And we can't seem to fix it. I think the new Spotify methodology is ridiculous for our purposes. Of course, if you're a teenager and you want to make a playlist with friends -- and you want to limit who can access that playlist and add to it so that you keep trolls or uncool kids away -- then this way makes sense. For us, it's a true blue bummer.

All the playlists Pip started weren't collaborative, because he didn't have that feature on whatever device he was using. In general though, it is a stinker that they changed the format for easily making new ones collaborative.

I see. That tends to make the playlists a problem now. Because even in copying the link, you have to act upon that link within twenty-four hours or something like that. 

It's a real cluster here. Not sure what to do about it.

He was tuned in and interested.  :thumbup:    Sometimes I can tell when I talk to people, especially my sister, that all she is hearing is wa wa wa wa wa like the teacher from The Peanuts.  Totally tuned out.

No idea what the hip hop was about, but definitely not the KEXP usual format.

Check out WEVL in Memphis!

Why are these not coming up when I am searching? I went though several Summers songs but didn’t see that one….again could have been the beers

I remembered adding it to the playlist, but I double checked by going to the spreadsheet and doing Ctrl F, and it came up when I put in Bad Girls.
