[djjoe1960]

The AT40 show from 1-6-79 is must listening to hear the 'infamous' mistake made by the engineer who put the show together. The wrong song is played at #9 (Everlasting Love instead of Don't Throw It All Away--both by Andy Gibb). I remember hearing that mistake back in 1979 and encourage you to listen on Saturday, January 7 at Noon.

[adam31]

Interesting to see one of my favorite sub hosts, Mark Elliott, filled in for Casey on the same day 11 years apart! Other than Shadoe or Charlie Van Dyke, he would have been the best choice to take over AT40 when Casey left.

[Jeff Michaels]

OK, to give everyone an idea of how the Music Expert LP Review will work, but without giving everything away... Here are the albums that the debut show will be profiling. One or more tracks from each of these LP's will be played. Plus stories or chart facts about the albums and the songs...

So without further adieu:

EXTRA: The Mamas & Papas: S/T

January 1, 1972: Carole King: Music

EXTRA: Led Zeppelin: 4

January 1, 1977: Stevie Wonder: Songs In The Key Of Life

EXTRA: Jackson Browne: The Pretender

January 2, 1982: AC/DC: For Those About To Rock

I wonder if his voice-over work for ABC's rivals CBS and Fox in the later 80s (and into the 90s for that matter) would have precluded that from happening. For reference, ABC would not fall under the Disney banner until 1996.

Bump

[Jeff Michaels]

Any and all comments, good or bad, are hoped for on the 2 new shows, the new top of hour ID's (mostly made by Tom Daniels), the new commercials or the new playlist for the soft rock mix.

I listened to the Retro Soul Countdown yesterday from 12/1981. I heard quite a few songs I wasn't familiar with. I plan to tune in every Tuesday morning.

[djjoe1960]

I heard about an hour of retro soul countdown and enjoyed what I heard and like Mitch was unfamiliar with most of the songs; except a few that became hits on the pop chart.

Welcome to you skyseth! There are several links to WBME, the most common is:

www.wbme.radiostream123.com

There is also 3 other sites you can try...

www.wbme.radiostream321.com
www.wbme.radio12345.com
www.wbme.listen2myshow.com


Try the others if the main one isn't working.


Link for RarmaRadio, VLC player, or other players that take a link:

[skyseth]

The URL 50.22.218.101:24610/listen.pls
doesn't work .
i want to record the shows , not to listen to them live.
i'm really deceived.
anyway, thanks for your help.

[roadrunner]

Today´s AT50 isnt´t counting down 1979 hits but it´s the first aired at Januar 5th 1980 counting down the Top50 of the 70s decade...

[Jeff Michaels]

Yes, it should have been Top 50 of the 1970's. Not sure what happened to the schedule but we played top 50 of 1979 over the weekend, so wouldn't play it again this soon...

What program do you use for recording? I use Rarmaradio and it works great on WBME with the link below:

You may have to put http: in front so try this link:

50.22.218.101:24610/listen.pls

or

50.22.218.101:24610

[mitchm]

Skyseth,

It took me awhile to get the correct link for VLC media player, but this is what finally worked for me:

50.22.218.101:24610/listen.pls       (with "http://" in front of it, which doesn't view everywhere)

I hope you can get it to work also.

[skyseth]

Many thanks adam31, it works fine for me now with both Rarmaradio and Total Recorder.

[skyseth]

Thanks too to mitchm

[at40fansince1984]

The way I did it was to save the .pls link to my downloads & when I want to open it I left click it & select open with VLC player.
Actually, Saturday was the Top 50 Of The 70's because it was followed by CT40's Top 40 Of The 80's. So it should've been the Top 50 Of 1979 today because I laughed when I saw it was the Premiere show this weekend thinking hey I'll get to hear all 4 hours instead of most stations that will just play 3.

[Jeff Michaels]

That's right. Had the wrong OAD written down. Oh well...

[djjoe1960]

Hey, got to hear some of the Music Expert LP Chart Review replay Saturday morning--thanks to a crippling ice storm here in the Atlanta area. Anyway, I was sort surprised the show just started without any intro or something but once I got past that it was an enjoyable listen. Keep up the good work.

[Jeff Michaels]

Thanks. That's how I formatted it. The intro after the first artist.

Sometimes there's 2 or 3 songs, sometimes 1. Gotta fit 14 albums into the show.

The first was when I was figuring it out. They get WAY better!
