Rhino's 4-disc "Left of the Dial" comp

Recommended Posts

I got this, and will be randomly playing tracks from it on my radio show Sunday evening, starting at 9pm, EST (I'm scheduled for one hour, but, if the last two weeks have been any indication, I can do two if I desire).

 

More info:

That's 82 songs, man. I've listened to every disc; less than dozen are merely "feh" and I flat-out dislike one of them (Depeche Mode's "Black Celebration"—though I should note I've always hated that band). The remaining 70-or-so, however, range from good to great, and I'll be fitting in as many of them as I can.

 

I'll provide a link to listen sometime on Sunday.

I don't care for that box set because I'm only interested in compilations of things where I wouldn't be interested in the whole. I like that kind of music anyway, I don't need it condensed.

Hey, I've noticed, based on the very few times I've made a thread about my show, that it tends to not attract as many listeners compared to the times I simply hijack some other thread to plug my show.

 

I may be going about this the wrong way.

Red Hot Chili Peppers?  Egads.

That song is a passable Sly and the Family Stone knockoff; plus, I paired it with "We Care a Lot," serving as a fond reminder of the kind of music I liked when I was 13. Had I thought of it at the time, I would've thrown that Jane's Addiction song in there, too.

I want that box set badly.

 

For someone who asked earlier, as you might tell from the bands, it is a compilation of post-punk/new-wave underground classics from the 80s (there may be a little bit of late '70s stuff in there, but I'm not sure).

I used to play that stuff on my college radio show ('89-'94). Decent stuff, although if they were going for definitive songs for certain bands, I would have made a few different choices.
