lost & found

WMBR 88.1 has a 60s-70s show every weekday from 12-2 pm, they play deep cuts off of records, B sides (not just "plastic hits"), from a variety of genres and the shows are archived online for two weeks so there are 20 hours available at any given time. The best part? No commercials.

I like Lost & Found but

it's nothing like Lost 45s. Lost 45s plays a lot of stuff that many college DJs are "too cool" to play and aren't commercial enough for the regular oldies programming. I don't think that Lost & Found will be playing Answering Machine by Rupert Holmes anytime soon. These two shows can coexist, you don't need to pick one over the other.

Ok, guess you'll have to listen to other shows

Searching the archived playlists of WMBR turned up this:

But I don't see the song I mentioned there.

Comfort zone

Ah, so you listen to radio to hear songs you already know. Sorry, missed that point. I have a personal music collection for that and listen to radio (airwaves and online) to expose myself to new stuff.

Painful

It hurt my brain to read the petition. It reads like it was written by an ADHD chimp on a keyboardless cell phone with a randomly malfunctioning caps lock key while the chimp was driving on the Expressway and drinking Jolt Cola.

At First, I Thought You Were Exaggerating...

At first, I thought you were exaggerating about the petition's use of the English language, but upon further investigation, you couldn't have been more correct. Is the author of this petition a native English speaker and writer? If so, a remedial course...nay remedial COURSES plural...would be advisable!
