Aircheck Of The Week

 

Our final classic year-ender this month comes from WABC. Chuck Leonard is filling in for Charlie Greer and playing 4 solid hours of the Top 100 of 1968. Brought to you once again by Dennison. I've remixed the entire aircheck in stereo.

Happy Holidaze from The Mal Thursday Show!

Here are three episodes of The Mal Thursday Show that are ineligible to be posted on Mixcloud, due to them having more than three songs by a particular artist. So instead of another rerun of "A Mal Thursday Christmas," here are three brilliant boss blasts from the vault to rock your holiday season. Dig!

Aircheck Of The Week

 

Continuing with our month of year-enders, here's Los Angeles radio legend The Real Don Steele with a portion of the Big 93 of 1965 on 93/KHJ.

Jeezus Fuck, It's Christmas!!! (re-upload)

This is a re-upload from the old Ichiban page. The links were dead... 

Super giant thanks to Kristian Hoffman for sharing this on his Facebook Page. It's a picture of a tape Lux made with some amazing Christmas Music. A song or two from the Black Christmas tape, but much more swell tunes to sink your teeth in to.  Even an atheist would love it... Kristian said it was ok to share, so it here it is! Jeezus fuck, indeed!

 (note, this isn't a copy of the "actual" tape, just a compilation of MP3's sourced elsewhere and sequenced like the tape)
