Commentary: Well, out with a bit of a whimper, here, since we'd already done the "all time" mashups show for Episode 1. But since the show's ending was sorta sprung on me I didn't exactly have a ton of time to come up with a blockbuster finale. Anyway, as shows go, it ain't so bad, and those are some quality tracks, for sure, a well rounded list of some of the finest mashups of the era. An there you have it, that's it, no more mixxes.

I did continue to produce intermittent half- hour shows for 9. Sixx Mixxez; I'll look around the hard drive and if any seem to be worth posting I'll get them up. Coming soon I'll have Sixx Mixx Qualitative Analysis wherein I'll find out the songs, artists, and mashups played the most over the show's run.

Whatever age of television this is — gold, platinum, trusty tin — what's certain is that there's more TV to sort through than ever before. Kilauea; Mount Etna; Mount Yasur; Mount Nyiragongo and Nyamuragira; Piton de la Fournaise; Erta Ale. In case you’ve somehow managed to avoid the growing hype, on August 21, a solar eclipse will pass over the United States. And to protect your eyesight when staring.

But for now, happy new year everybody. Party Ben Scientific Sixx Mixx Score: 6/1. SIXX MIXX 1. 10 - 1.

The show is mostly notable for the first appearance of the legendary Grease/Snoop mashup that was LIVE 1. Mashup of the Week" in 2. January (as well as inciting backlash from hip local weekly newspapers). Party Ben Scientific Sixx Mixx Score: 5/1.

Bay Area dance troupe Basic Project to do a dance routine for the half hour of the Sixx Mixx, there in the middle of the mall. Despite or perhaps because of the inherent absurdity of it all, large crowds would gather to watch (the dancers were awesome) and I felt a certain responsibility to balance my usual alt- rock- drive- time audience concerns with "can some kids dance to this" concerns. In the case of this episode, these restrictions actually led to what I think is one of the best episodes of the Sixx Mixx, and since the three remaining episodes are sort of a half- rerun, a Christmas edition, and a finale countdown, it's sort of the last real episode.

Perhaps not coincidentally, the White Stripes often talked about artistic restrictions actually serving as stimulus for creativity (their album De Stijl is named after an artistic movement with that as a philosophy), and the debut of one of my favorite mashups opens up the show. Astute listeners will notice slight differences in this version from the one I eventually "released" but most of the important parts are there. Zebra's take on Doorbell is stupendous as well, and the whole section through the Beck remix is really fun, I think. Actually, considering the episode goes from about 8. I love the Lionel Vinyl combo of Azzido da Bass and Dire Straits, and my silly Green Day/Depeche Mode thing is pretty funny.

And of course, the viral phenom before we knew the word "viral," Peanut Butter Jelly Time, in its terrible- quality glory, ends the show on an ecstatically ridiculous note. To help intro the mix, I would hop on my motorcycle and weave through traffic downtown to get from the LIVE 1.

NY Radio Archive - the Archive. Rocktober. Two big radio anniversaries this month: DJ's joined WOR- FM 5.

October 8th and WNEW- FM launched their rock format October 3. WNEW- FM always claimed in marketing that it was Halloween, but it was actually the night before). WOR- FM started playing rock on July 3. DJs. The DJs joined on Saturday, October 8, 1. You can hear some airchecks of that first day by going to the WOR- FM page. When they finally did make it to air, we heard a simulcast of John Gambling until 9am, Scott Muni holding down two shifts from 9am until noon and from 3- 6pm; Johnny Michaels from noon to 3pm, Murray the K from 6pm to midnight and Rosko initially from just midnight to 2am. Shortly afterwards, Johnny Michaels would move to mid- mornings, Muni from 1- 6pm, Murray the K (Murray Kaufman) to 1.

Rosko (Bill Mercer) until 2am followed by a Barry Farber simulcast from the AM side. After WOR- FM gave programming responsiblities to Bill Drake the following summer, all of the original jocks left the station. Rosko resigned from WOR- FM on Monday night, October 2nd, 1. On Saturday, October 7th, 1. Pete Fornatale's "Campus Caravan" show on WFUV to explain why he resigned. A very rare aircheck of that interview is posted here. Execs at WNEW- FM listened to that show and decided to pick up Rosko.

Alison Steele was already a member of the airstaff, having been part of the "all- girls" middle- of- the- road format. Rosko's first show was on October 3. Management actually tested the rock waters relatively slowly: Jonathan Schwartz wouldn't join until November 1. Scott Muni didn't join until December 1.

The rest is radio and rock history. More on the WNEW- FM page. And October 5th is another great anniversary: On this day in 1. Beatles released their first single in the UK, "Love Me Do" having recorded it on September 4th and September 1. As has been documented many times, Ringo had just joined the Beatles, but upon showing up at EMI Studios, producer George Martin decided to use a session drummer, Andy White. Ringo thought he would wind up fired like Pete Best.

As a result, there have been at least three different versions of "Love Me Do" released. The very first single release featured Ringo, but after the first run, the pressing was switched to the Andy White version (black label) where Ringo is relegated to tambourine. I remember hearing one version on the radio and then the version everyone was playing changed.

The "Past Masters" album features the Ringo version. The "Please Please Me" LP featured the Andy White version. The Beatles Anthology volume 1" includes a Pete Best version recorded on June 6, 1. Beatles #1s" includes the Andy White version. DJ and Actor Jay Thomas dies at 6.

Actor and radio DJ Jay Thomas died Thursday, August 2. Born Jon Thomas Terrell, he had an extensive career on radio, television and movies.

Thomas' early career included a stint at WAYS 6. AM in Charlotte, North Carolina. By the mid- 1. 97. X and by 1. 97. 9 on WKTU. He also did stints on K- Rock and Power 1.

In 1. 98. 6, after being fired from his K- Rock morning show, he moved to Los Angeles and was heard on KPWR Power 1. Thomas also had an acting career appearing in 2. Mork & Mindy" from 1. He also appeared on some episodes of "The Love Boat", nine episodes of "Cheers" as hockey player Eddie Le. Bec from 1. 98. 7 to 1. Murphy Brown from 1.

Emmy award for outstanding guest actor in a comedy series. He's also remembered for his supporting role as coach Bill Meister in "Mr. Holland's Opus" with Richard Dreyfus.

He also made appearanes in "Hercules", "Fantasy Island", "Law and Order", "The Santa Clause" movies, "Boston Legal", Ray Donovan" and many others. And he was also an annual guest on the David Letterman show where he liked to tell a story about meeting Clayton Moore, who played The Lone Ranger on television in the 1. Thomas can be heard on this aircheck, talking to Howard Stern by telephone after Thomas was fired from K- Rock in January of 1.

Thomas on Stern: July 3. Marks the 5. 1st Anniversary of the WOR- FM Rock Format. WOR- FM started broadcasting their rock format on Saturday, July 3. When it first stopped simulcasting the AM and programmed pop music instead, it did so without air personalities due to a union dispute with AFTRA over setting a new minimum wage for FM DJs, somewhat puzzling as WNEW- FM had DJ's as part of their "All- Girls" MOR format (with Alison Steele having joined on June 4, 1. WOR- FM did air recorded promos of some of the DJ's. Their initial branding was via a Milton Glaser design. But it was hard to tell from the design whether it was going to be a true rock station or an FM station playing "beautiful music" versions of rock songs, since at the time, it was hard to imagine a full- time commercial rock station on FM.

While today we would decry their jockless programming as a jukebox, it was a revelation back then. We were all used to WABC- AM, which never segued one track into another and almost always played at least one spot, usually more, between each song. WOR- FM gave us much higher audio quality, fewer commercials, less formatics and continuous music and we loved it. Watch Ip Man Dailymotion.

Standing near the Coney Island boardwalk with a transistor radio, we would high- five each other each time they played another track without a spot inbetween. It seemed miraculous (and ideal for taping). But in spite of those advantages and aside from "early adopters", it would be a number of years before FM could claim significant market share. While WINS had switched to an all- news format 1. WABC would remain the music powerhouse for many years to come and WMCA would continue their music format for another four years.

WOR- FM simulcast John Gambling until 1. Barry Farber until 5: 1. In the early days, there were relatively few spots, but one I remember that they played quite often was for Hohner Harmonica. In those formative months, it still sounded like WOR- FM was going to be a top- 4. The DJs wouldn't join until October 8th and the station would slowly evolve into a free- form radio station that played as many album tracks as singles. That would be a different revelation.

But it lasted less than a year as Bill Drake was given responsiblity for programming all of the RKO- General stations except for WOR- AM. But that's another chapter in the WOR- FM story. For more about the history of WOR- FM, click the WOR- FM page. And even if you've browsed the page before, we'll be adding some rare new airchecks for the anniversary, including some from the second day on the air, so check it out again beginning on July 3. Posted 7/2. 5/2. 01. Jim Kerr celebrates 5.

Years in Radio. Jim Kerr, who first came to prominence in New York on WPLJ, beginning in March of 1. NY stations hosting a variety of formats. He's currently the morning man on Q1. In February of 1.

WYNZ in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Follow the link for an article celebrating Kerr's extensive career on the Q1. Celebrating Jim Kerr. The Month The Music Died. Among all the other troubles in the world, this has not been a good month for those who still revere the "fathers" of our music. As I'm sure everyone knows by now, we lost Chuck Berry yesterday (Sunday, March 1. His first hit recording, "Maybelline", recorded in 1.

Berry was originally discovered and mentored by pianist Johnny Johnson, but Berry soon took over the band. Unlike many of the other early stars of rock and roll, Berry wrote most of his own songs and his humor and meter has never been matched. John Lennon was quick to point this out when he guest- hosted the Mike Douglas show in the 1. Berry. Berry's career was dormant after 1. Beatles and Rolling Stones recorded many of his songs (and the Beach Boys stole "Sweet Little Sixteen" for "Surfin' USA" for which they eventually had to give Berry credit). While charts don't do a very good job of reflecting influence, Berry had 2. Pop Charts with three in the top ten and 2.

R& B charts with 1.
