Yesterday I was going through some of my old radio show cassette tapes. I must have around 600 individual shows on cassette. I know that's not a lot in the grand scheme of things when you consider that Jim and Marian Jordan of "Fibber McGee and Molly" fame had over 700 episodes of their radio show. I decided that I needed to transfer all of them to CD so that I can listen to them more. Chris and I
Today's hero may be described quite differently than your hero from thirty years ago. In most cases, the word hero will never be mentioned (as well as it shouldn't be) about players in today's entertainment venues. Instead most of the time, people are looking up to a media fix that declares their "favorite player" a superstar.These players are idolized because they just signed a $150 million dollar contract for five years of work. Maybe it's because they just cleared another player's body, slamming one home. In some cases, it's because they astonishingly made a one handed grab, with two defenders on their back, throwing them both away, and high stepping into the end zone. Either way it will all come back to one thing—how much superstar power they possess and how much will they make becau
Has the reference to the greatest hits of the (time period of choice) ever made you think, “and what were the other candidates”? Well, radio airchecks are a window into the audio past. An aircheck is a recording of what a radio station was broadcasting during a particular time. It’s primarily a sample of how [...]
"Whenever I Call You Friend" , I really love the song and the contents of it. I remember my younger days with my friends you became much special than just ordinary. I really treasure them even though I can’t give time to be with them in this period of time. I hope my friends [...]
I have no idea what the hell this is, but since it features some old-school Orioles, it's all good with me. I don't know if Rick would ever admit to doing this, but it will last in infamy on Youtube.Anyhow, this video features Video Features 1983 World Series MVP Rick Dempsey on vocals, with Hall of Famer Eddie Murray, Rich Bordi, Mike Boddicker and long-time Orioles trainer Ralph Salvon on the saxphone. They are singing a rendition of "Old Time Rock n' Roll"...Watching this video makes me wonder do any of these guys have rhythm and have any dancing skills, but it's all in good fan.This is typical Rick Dempsey. Good stuff...
By: Ned Norris If you'd like to get a real insight into how life was over half a century ago there are few better ways than immersing yourself into the wonderful world of old time radio.Old time radio is like an audio-only time machine into times gone by, in a way that no other medium can compete with.The difference between old time radio and television or film, and one of its major strengths, is that it is audio-only. Once you close your eyes the only input you have is audio, which means that, with a little imagination, you can easily transport yourself back to a comfortable chair positioned next to the fire, in a 1940s home. What you are experiencing is exactly the same as what someone in the 1940s experienced if they sat by the fire with their eyes closed.Once you've set the scene you need to choose what aspect of history you'd like to focus in on. Luckily, almost every old time radio show offers you a glimpse into these bygone days.Obvious choices for those interested in a histo
The Golden Age of Radio ended long ago, and you missed it. Lucky for you, you can listen to the old programs you missed at Imvite.
Before TV became the home entertainment appliance of choice, individuals and families would gather in the evening beside a cozy fire, turn on the radio, and hear imaginative live radio programs. Some were funny, like Jack Benny. Some were thrilling, like Mystery Theater or The Shadow.
You can still hear these great programs at Imvite. Just visit Imvite’s Old Time Radio category to hear thousands of radio shows, complete with studio voices, spooky and ridiculous sound effects, and enthusiastic advertisements and jingles for companies long since passed on.

Old Time Relijun Genre: Experimental / New Wave / PunkFrom: Portland, Oregon United StatesLast weeks NME highlighted the burgeoning Portland Scene and tonight the Devil joins in the fast developing bandwagon with a little piece of old Portland experimental new wave rock. Picture the scene, in a dark and smelly basement in Olympia, Washington on New Year’s Day, 1995 three young musicians gather to tackle the vast songbook of Arrington De Dionyso . They had heard his self-recorded cassettes. The songs were wild and lovely. Arrington (the rebellious son of Methodist ministers) played every instrument with the soul of an outsider artist who didn’t know any better. He knew he needed to bring his songs to life.The original trio was brought together for one show. Just to see what would happen. They called themselves Old Time Relijun. Arrington played a $20 guitar and a beat up bass clarinet. He sang with a mixture of piss and vinegar that exploded with naive charisma. Bryce Panic harassed
Wish that I could time warp--back to the days of my youth--when I'd wake up Saturday morning to watch the..Now--old time cartoons. Tweedy Bird is watching the putty cat down below. Wiley coyote chasing the Roadrunner where ever he'd go. Popeye and Pluto seemed to always be dueling it out.. And if you'd been listening closely you'd hear the tune of Mighty Mouse. Then you'd have Tom and Jerry chasing through the house. Yogi bear and booboo is running in Yellowstone National Park with a pick nick basket tucked beneath there arms. Daffy duck is sprinting to dodge the hunters spray,the Tazmanian devil spinning in his dazzling way. OH how I wish I could time warp back to the days of my youth,when I'd wake up Saturday Morning to watch the Now Old Time Cartoons.
