[QUOTE=radionixon;269049]Thanks again [[and thank you to everyone who's listened and hit "Favourite" and "Repost" to help me up the Mixcloud charts...!)
Here's episode 59
I never thought "A New Girl" would ever get played on the radio. Just don't play "I Cried All Night" or you won't have any listeners left.
Bwahaha...! No, that's not going to be happening. I do like to play obscure cuts and artists [[and I try to work them into flow of the playlist so that they're not complete honking oddities), but that would be a step too far even for me!
The show seems to be doing well - we don't actually track listener numbers per se, but the advertisers are happy, it's regularly topping the Mixcloud genre charts, and I've recently agreed to do another stretch of shows which will take me through to episode 110 [[although I might conceivably run out of songs by then, so maybe I Cried All Night will have to be dusted off after all! JOKE! I joke!)
I rate "I Cried All Night" as the worst 60s Motown single ever made - worse even than the novelty records, which at least had the excuse of being novelty records. To play this record would be a case of taking a joke too far.
You can see Radionixon's review of this record and my comment on it on the Motown Junkies site.
Not coming soon to a radio near you:
And now, here's episode 60. Can you believe it? Sixty hours of Motown and barely a song repeated. And there's more to come, with lots of episodes already in the can [[tomorrow I'm broadcasting episodes 72 and 73). Motown forever.
