We're # 1!
Thanks to everyone for voting us # 1 "Greatest Hits station in new platforms"!! And thanks to Radio-Info. Check out the other winners Here.
ICHIBAN!!!
Now, let us stand and sing the Ichiban International Anthem.
In most of our categories, voters went with stations that play the hits—albeit a wider mix of them. WFMU’s Rock & Soul Ichiban, on the other hand, promises and delivers “obscuro hits from the ’50s and ’60s.” Think of the records that director John Waters used to invoke both the danger and kitsch of rock ‘n’ roll’s first decade or so. Then go several times deeper. It’s the radio extension of the eclectic New York-area non-comm’s annual Record Fair where, no matter how many records you have, there’s always somebody raving about a $300 record you haven’t heard of and will never own. It’s heavy on rockabilly, tough ’60s soul, instrumentals, and jaw-dropping oddities.
I'll drink to that.

ReplyDeleteAccuse me of hyperbole if you must, but I contend that Ichiban is the single greatest achievement in the history of Man.
