My 40th Bday Music Listening History WAVE Project (KFAI)

http://kfai.org/wave-project/playlists/20160626

It's finally up to stream and/or download for the next 13 days.

Not enough time right now to add all the thoughts and details about it, and I actually haven't been able to listen to it yet (the upload didn't show up I think until sometime this morning).

But I think it came out  

edit: I was interrupted for something more timely here at work (hence the time limit).

Anyway, I thought it came out about as well as it could have for the most part, given what I was trying to do. That, and the 1-hour was reduced by 3 or 4 minutes incl spots and starting time being maybe a minute or 2 after the hour.

I may try one again when I turn 50, and if I have the time, try to include just tiny clips, I'll see.

or possibly just try something like that when I sub for Modern Kicks or another show, although at least with the WAVE project, I like the fact it is on DURING THE DAY, hence more listeners, etc.

Playlist:
Huey Lewis and the News - Back in Time
Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand
Rush - Natural Science
Marillion - The Great Escape
Toy Matinee - Last Plane Out

Background/Bed Music: Dream Theater - Erotomania + Scarred

+ a whole lot of anecdotes/narrative (i.e. Babbling/and Diarrhea of the mouth, dozens of bands nobody knows)

40

Yeah, I'm officially over the bloody hill now, lol.

I can use this just to announce I am doing a special WAVE Project on KFAI next Sunday as a retrospective on my life with music. Really just a microcosm as to cram in 40 or really 26-35 years of being a fan of music into 40 minutes (+20 minutes of babbling), of course is just scratching a tiny little surface.

What I hope to try and do, and I hope it doesn't cause a lot of talking-too-fast, is to tell the story/my story among all the music I got into in my life. The select few tracks I will be playing are obviously going to be favorites songs and artists. But sort of representing periods of time I guess in some ways.

I.e. I may only play 4-6 songs, but I hopefully will talk or at least mention dozens of musical artists within this limited 1-hour special.

Next Sunday June 26th at 11AM Central on KFAI, and archived for 2 weeks after to stream or download.

As for today?the usual mini-golf, music shopping, lunch deal sadly, but still enjoyable.

One of these years I will actually get back on the golf course and play actual golf, even at just an executive or par-3.

But 40 years, I can officially say I'm not that young anymore, at least numerically.

Oh and I just found this cool, somewhat rare item today at Know Name Records.
