Most of these carts I made are just emberrassing. However, 2 deserve a mention. The Sesame Street station ID was great, not because it showed the limitations of depicting "far away" on the radio, but because any DJ could use it. You played the cart and then played a song you liked and it worked. I think it was a very popular cart while it was in rotation. The other cart is the banal "wear a seat belt" cart. It was sort of private joke. Apparently, right before I joined the station, there was a cart that said the exact same thing only it ended with, "...wear a condom." That caused a controversy and was pulled. I mostly made the cart to scare the knowing into thinking the banned cart was back. And also because of the cool car crash sound effect I found.
Two program grids. The first I am on from 4:00 to 7:00 PM on Friday as a fill in, plus my regular spot on Wednesday from 10:00 PM until I was tired. And the second, I am on from2:00 to 4:00 PM on Monday.
Fall 1989
Circa 1988 or 1989
Here are some playlists from different shows. If I remember, the left column was to mark new songs, the next was if the song was a request, then if the song was on CD (Who cares?), and a message cart.
This is probably the first show that I played A Show Of Hands, a band that Chris Hickey was in. That moment is one of the clearest memories I have as a DJ.
Here is another playlists from that semester...
Friend and music guru, Ed Whitelock...
The infamous Jerry Rivers investigation "Is Elvis Alive" (I still can't say that without adding an echo effect).
As we get more settled in our new home, I will keep an eye out for more mementos from the great times at WIXQ.
If you would like me to email you when I add new items, let me know.
