Two months ago, I had these news from Stu khan (Antfarm manager). "Mick Blood (Lime Spider's singer) is putting together a new band called The Fram, who now require a powerfull bass player and drummer based in Sydney.The song style is similar to that of the Lime Spider's, but some with a more relaxed feel. One song can be heard (URBAN COWBOY) on a compilation cd called "No Guts No Glory" on Antfarm Records." It also seems that the Spiders are getting together again, but i don't know about the line-up. It seems they will play for a festival called Offshore at Torquay in Victoria on Sunday March 30.

It's now "big oldies 93". Previously, they If this is the station I remember reading about in some trade mag, there's a little bit more to the story. (Even if it's not, it's still kinda interesting - -- and how many "All Louie Louie, all the time" stations could there be in this great land of ours??!) It seems that the previous owner wanted to sell the station, but didn't want to continue to shell out the bucks to keep it fully functioning while he shopped for a buyer and the transaction closed. He couldn't just shut it down because apparently there's some regulation that a station can't be sold if it's dark. So they went to the Louie Louie format in order to keep the station running while reducing its expenses! I'd been under the impression that they'd been running Louie Louie for several months, not just a week, building up a bit of a cult following (not to mention some free publicity) in the process. Reportedly they were putting some of the phoned in requests on the air, coming out of the Kingsmen with a request for the Kingsmen and just playing it again. Sounds like the new owners are now in place and they've reverted to run-of-the-mill radio.

Man, the local oldies station here in Seattle won't >play either the Sonics or the Wailers, which makes no sense at all. Oldies radio is the modern day equivalent of what the elevator-style Easy Listening format was in the 70s-80s. The won't play anything that would make the dentist's receptionist even think about changing the station. That's the market they program to. When I knew an oldies programmer, he said they focused on 200 songs with maybe 300 others in very low rotation. Think about it, you probably have 1200 minutes of music programming per day, at 3 1/ 2 minutes per song, that's 340 songs or so per day. They are playing 60% of their entire catalog every single day. No wonder you hear Louis Armstrong's "It's a Wonderful World" so much. (Hey, at least it ain't "Stand By Me.") Jack Alex, who hosted the local Washignton, DC Teen Dance Show "Wing Ding" used to be the oldies dj in the morning around here and despite my requesting this several times, he refused to do a call-in about Wing Ding memories because "that was a long time ago." They had Bobby Poe (of Bobby Poe and the Poe Kats (sp?) fame dj-ing once and I requested a Poe Kats song. He laughed and said all their music was lousy. There's a reason I quit working in radio, it has nothing to do with music... Don ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.

(TAMPA) -- Sometime next month, Tampa engineer James Sharpe will get his last wish. A rocket ship carrying seven grams of Sharpe's cremated ashes will be launched from a pad in Spain and the remains will be released in space to orbit the earth for up to six years. Sharpe won't be alone. The ashes of 21 others, including psychedelic philosopher Timothy Leary and Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry will be with him. The families and estates are paying Celestis Inc. of Houston, Texas, $4,800 each for the privilege of launching the loved ones to their final rest. Sharpe's mother, who made all the arrangements, says it will comfort her to look into the sky and know that James is out there. Sharpe died at 37 of AIDS last year. After getting infected from a blood transfusion, he spent his last years touring the country and earning advanced degrees in electronics. -11- "It's just my nature to do weird stuff..."-Mr. Leslie Baxter Laura Taylor (813) 974-3733 ltaylor@wusf.usf.edu ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.
