73 Rock Humour II: Turned Up To 11

Preshow was a selection from the G section of the stash, plus Hayseed Dixie to set the scene for the show. Postshow was stuff that didn’t quite make the grade for the show, plus a repeat of The Eagles’ Get Over It for AyaHawkeye who had the stream drop out for her during that track. 30 top, 26 most of the time.

72 Gentle Giant

We were without Edison for this show, as he was having some well-earned time off.  The show was presented by me, AlanDJ, and I nearly always remembered to shut my mic off between announcements…

We got up to 20 listeners at one point, which was better than expected given that it is the first weekend of the British school holidays and the US folks have been on holiday for a while.  Thanks for listening, as always, and mention us to your friends…

Given that I was doing the broadcast all on my tod, I started the preshow early and also went on a bit longer with the postshow, moving on to game soundtrack music and then a ‘Fire’ theme.

71 No More Fillers Any More

A fine time was had with our No More Fillers Any More show on Sunday 9th July.

Preshow is still from the G section, and the postshow was the Big Hits from the albums we had featured in the show.

Fewer tracks in this show as more of them were longish album tracks, and grouped in pairs.

15 listeners max, 13 for most of the time.

The next show will be a light frolic through the 10-year career of odball prog rockers Gentle Giant.

70: Girls…

Radio Free D’ni’s 70th show played to a good audience on the plaza and on the air. We had a busy night with 24 tracks in the show, most of them being 3-minute singles, and all on the theme of girls names. We had some response to our call for requests, and more came in during the show, so we’ll keep those for next time. You can still contact us via the website, or in the game, and let us know of a track you would like – if we have it, we will try to play it.

The next show of this type will concentrate on boys names, of which there are somewhat fewer examples but still plenty around.

The preshow had some more tracks from the G section of my stash – Genesis and Gerry Mulligan. Postshow was some of the tracks that almost made it into the show.

22 listeners max, 17 average. I blame the summer holidays.

68 A Bad Year for Good Music IV. George Martin

Show 68 was a celebration and a fast trip through the musical career of George Martin, the ‘fifth Beatle’

A man who became the head of the Parlophone label when it was EMI’s second string and turned it around with a wide range of artists, chief of which were The Beatles. A musician too, who played keyboards on all the early Beatles tracks, and wrote, arranged and conducted orchestral accompaniment, as well as film scores and other works.

Preshow was from the stash, where we have reached F – in this case Focus and Free.

Postshow contained tracks cut from the main show for time – there’s a lot of George Martin out there for you still to discover.

It has been suggested that a History of The Beatles might be well accepted – what do you think?

67 Unexpected Instrumentals

The show was mainly about instrumentals that had been made by vocal bands, with a few others that were unexpected in other ways.

The preshow was all tracks that missed out on being in the main show, because they were’nt unexpected enough or because we’d played them recently.  The version of Soul Sscrifice from Woodstock contains the best drum solo that Mike Shrieve ever recorded, which must have been a bit of an albatross for his subsequent career – he was just 19 at the time.

66 Songs That Get Under Your Skin

This was an idea I’d been working on for a while, with alternative titles such as ‘Songs I can’t sing’ – because I can’t get through them without choking up.  Eventually we made it to air, but to remember (slightly too late) that May 1st is a holiday throughout Europe and most of our audience could well be in their garden having a barbecue…  Even so we had up to 23 listeners with 17 most of the time, which is very pleasing.

Pre and post-show were thrown together at the last minute from things that had not quite made it into recent shows.

This show was surprisingly hard to present.  As the last track in the postshow says, one of these days I’ll get an early night…
