Underground Radio Airchecks

2006-10-08T17:14:50Z

March 2007 will mark the fortieth anniversary of underground radio's
origins in the San Francisco Bay Area, with the transition of KMPX to
progressive rock under the direction of "Big Daddy" Tom Donahue
(following a gentle shove by Larry Miller earlier in 1967). Donahue
would go on to revolutionize the format at KSAN ("The Jive 95").

Hi Douglas,
I've been spinning the tribute mashup on my live365 Internet radio
station, Chakra Chip Cookies

Beautifully done. You capture the feel of the whole album brilliantly.
I'm not just saying that, either. There are a lot of mashups out there
that are soulless and clueless. You guys are totally clued and got

progressive sounds heard on WMMR-FM on August 20, 1970

2005-05-27T00:44:59Z

Back in 1970 a friend of mine recorded an aircheck of a whole day of
programming on legendary Philadelphia station WMMR-FM, back in their
freeform heyday. Here's a small sample of the music they played that
day almost 35 years ago...
Merry Clayton: gimme shelter
Donovan: sun
Joni Mitchell: night in the city

Thanks for the post, Tom, and welcome. Chakra Chip Cookies playing as I
type.
It's very encouraging that lately more of the creative radio seeds
planted decades ago and left uncultivated by the wayward industry, are
sprouting, and via new technologies are growing over under and around
the soulless machine called commercial broadcasting.

I just found this group and I'm getting a real kick out of your posts,
guys. I was a dj on KMPX in San Francisco (where Donahue & Co. started
it all, by most accounts) from '71 till March '72. I had the sad
"honor" of playing the last rock'n'roll record on the station before
the demonic NY owners pulled the plug. I had Pinkertons at my elbow

RADIO FREE PHOENIX

KCAC and KDKB reincarnated, Radio Free Phoenix is the closest to my
heart of any musical webcaster I've found. It's the kind of radio this
newsgroup honors, and it's just delightful.

nation's FM djs tell what albums their listeners were digging in May 1971...

2005-03-13T21:30:02Z

this article is from "CIRCUS" magazine, May 1971, in their "Hot Wax"
column, where they surveyed leading FM djs to pick the most popular
albums in their area at that time. If anyone else in the group has
any similiar listings or album surveys please feel free to share them
with the group.
