Playlist Nov. 25, 2006 (back to 3 hrs)

The following playlist reflects last week's return to a three hour time-slot. I am really excited that my show's regained its third hour and I have Michael T. to thank for that (he does The Justice Files on Monday nights from 11pm - 1am, and has been temporarily hosting Best of KKFI right after R2E2 until a new "Best of" host is found). Even more exciting was the show of support and interest in the form of calls and requests (as you can see below, there were quite a few). Thank you so much for that. It really made the tech. diffs I was handling more bearable.

I'm sorry about having gotten a little behind in posting playlists this these past two weeks, but work has made it unavoidable. Here's last week's list, and I'm working on getting the prior two (or is it three) lists typed up soon after.

(FYI: For the sake of keeping these chronological, I'm actually posting this as if it were done the next day, but it's being posted 12/2/06.)

This weekend - Back to 3hrs!

Starting this weekend, the Retro Red-Eye show goes back to being three hours! Unfortunately, the third hour is added at the end, but three hours is three hours, right? So, now the show extends through to 2am! That's three whole hours of taking you back with my favorite music from the 70s, 80s and 90s and bringing you up to date with today's music that has evolved from that good stuff.

Hope you'll remember to tune in!

~S.

Playlist Oct. 21, 2006 (Roman Numerals in-studio) (2nd Week Pledge Drive)

Many thanks to anyone who pledged their support on 90.1 FM this pledge drive. I don't know what the final number is, but it's over 90,000 for the whole week, including the silent donation drive (via US Post), and online as well as on-air pledges.

It was such a pleasure having Billy Smith of Roman Numerals on the show tonight. Hopefully, our conversation was somewhat entertaining to listen to. It's so hard to consider how it sounds from the other side of the radio when you're in the middle of it. I'm sure the following is not a complete list. I'm going to fix it as soon as I get the back-up recording.

We Need You! + Roman Numerals next week!

Hello, faithful and new listeners alike! As of yesterday, 90.1FM KKFI began our Fall On-air Pledge Drive! What does that mean exactly? This is that crucial time when we appeal to our listeners for pledges in order to help increase our membership and raise money to cover our operating costs. The Fall 2006 On-Air Fund Drive runs through Saturday 10/21, so please call 816-931-3122 and pledge your support on your favorite programs!

ROMAN NUMERALS
Next week (10/21), I'll be having local band Roman Numerals drop in! They're coming in to help pledge pitch, and they'll be doing their version of Retro Red-eye Express for you, so there's no telling what gems they'll bring in from their collection!

Listen to Retro Red-Eye Express and your other favorite KKFI programs online by going to kkfi.org (click on "Streaming") OR, if you're in the Greater Kansas City area, by tuning your radio to 90.1 FM KKFI.

Remember to tune in tonight and every Saturday night from 11pm to 1am (CT) for retro-y goodness!

The Gary Numan Show @ Record Bar 8/15/06

Somehow I completely forgot to mention the Gary Numan show during tonight's show! I had a great time at the show. The opening band were called New Skin, and they were a really good british goth-rock type of band. I wish I'd picked up their EP at the merch booth.

He sang a few old songs (Down In The Park, Are "Friends" Electric?, and Cars) mixed in with songs from Jagged and the albums immediately prior to it (admittedly, I am not good at recognizing all his songs). I know they did Slave and Prayer for the Dying, but I'm fuzzy on the other songs. Tim Finn in The KC Star did a little write-up on it, though and he had a set-list included. I'm not sure if it's accurate, though.

Gary was sounding and looking great and was very energetic. He seemed to really enjoy the audience's response to just about everything he played (being that the whole crowd seemed to love it all). I loved seeing a few grins on the man's face. He got right up to the edge of the stage while singing, and was head-banging and dancing to the beat. Loved it!

Here are some photos my friend took at the show:

OH... and the follow-up to the Numan Interview saga! I managed to schedule another brief phone call to record station IDs, and I got to find out what happened on his end and tell him what happened on mine. He laughed at the irony of the situation (as did I), being that I was talking about "We Have A Technical" and "Me! I Disconnect From You" right before we got disconnected. He said he thought he'd bored me to death and that I'd hung up on him. I thought he hung up on me, being that the last thing he was talking about was how the lyrics on Jagged are too personal and embarrassing to go into. We were both wrong. He must have been traveling while talking to me, and must have gone out of range of his phone's network. I was grateful that at least we got as much conversation as we did before it dropped out. Never fear, though! I'll get a chance to interview him again in the future. I've discovered that this current tour of the US is a precursor to a more extensive tour in April of '07!

Playlist Aug 12, 2006 (Gary Numan Interview)

It was such a privilege to get to talk to Gary Numan this week, I just wish it hadn't been cut off so abruptly. I had a couple more questions and things I wanted to talk about, but all in all, it worked out okay, I think.

I'm looking forward to the live show on Tuesday, aren't you? I admittedly got a little carried away in doing my post interview tribute, but I guess it happens.
