Another musing post so soon? Does that mean the end times are upon us? Not necessarily, but i cannot totally discount that possibility. Maybe my end is the one rapidly approaching. One reason is that i post here, so that it won't show some other related Blogger thing i might have. Seriously, you don't want to see that mess (yet i link it at the end of this post, go figure).
* i've been really into this Lost 80s channel on iHeart Radio. "Alexa play Lost 80s on iHeart Radio". It plays hits that may not show up on today's radio.
Many radio stations have playlists under 40 songs. This one seems a little more robust. Most of the songs were hits in their time. Even retro stations (the best of the 80s and 90s) feel like they are just picking a playlist off of one or two compilation disks.
They play some songs i haven't heard for a while (like Bad Boy by Miami Sound Machine). Sure, i probably have more songs on CD than they do, but it feels a little different to hear it on the radio (maybe a Gen X thing).
i suspect the Lost 80s playlist is limited but seems to have more songs than most stations. Yes, i hear repeats, but they are not as common as most radio. Did i mention it is commercial (not interruption) free?
i'm lame and listen to retro radio - modern music is soulless crap that kind of sucks. i learned about this station from an 80s radio show (Saturdays nights, a 4 hour or so block) with Jeff Stevens. If it were on later, i would probably listen to American Top 40: the 80s with Shaggy, i mean Casey Kasem. There are a ton of good songs that never get modern radio airplay (rendering them effectively lost).
What does it say that i mostly use my Echo dot for radio type uses. As Robbie Nevil might say "C'est La Vie"
