Air was a band I got into in my college days, circa late 90's. We had the CD 'Moon Safari' in rotation at WMTS, Middle Tennessee's student radio station and I always stopped to listen when one of the cuts from this disc kicked in. The song 'Sexy Boy' was quite popular amongst the DJs, although I was a fan of the other album cuts from that disc. 'Ce Matin La' has that definite 'EZ' sound to it. . always a favorite and thus in today's play list.

The Crusaders 'Those Southern Knights' from '76 is a bit of jazz funk goodness, with 'Feelin' Funky' keeping the pace with a groovin' afternoon.

Okay, enough with the cheesy verbiage. Seek. Enjoy. .

New Show Title. .

So, we're back on the air under a new title, 'The Console Drive'. Format is similar to our old show 'EZ 989: The Restful Station', but we are going to try to avoid strange and weird music, aka 'outsider music'. We will play the typical sappy lite FM hot stereo rock that was popular in the 70's through the 80's. Occasionally, we'll delve into electro-lounge and/or folktronica (although we will NOT play any Moby).

I will try to post playlists after each show in a reasonable amount of time, so bear with me if I don't get 'em up on the site fast enough.

First show was Monday, 10/11/2010.

Playlist to come. .

In case you were wondering about the title of the show, it is based on a conversation I had with fellow DJ Angie of 'The Cat Beast Party' not too long ago. We were talking about some of the issues with our air console and I stated we should do a benefit to raise money for a new one. She agreed wholeheartedly and I said, "Yeah, we could call the benefit show, 'The Console Drive'". It seemed catchy enough, so I decided to use it as a show title.


Debating on creating a Facebook fan page for the show, but we will see how it goes. .
