Who made that noise?

i often throw up a playlist from theduderinok's youtube. it's mostly Coast to Coast AM programs, cut into segments. wacky, out-there stuff, but it makes for good listening.

I generally find broadcast radio to be un-listenable now.  It's all iPod playlists, lists on the Mac, and occasionally one local broadcast station.

The television is OFF at my house unless someone is watching it, thank you very much.   Drives me bugf*** to be in someone's home with the idiot box blaring, when no one is even watching it.   (The TV is mainly for watching movies.)

I don't think I could survive listening to Britney or Christina first thing in the morning.

I could...

...if it was one in each ear saying "that was amazing".

Why does that seem...

...so you?

Because its AWESOME!


Last night i was in my bed to go to sleep and my radio was on. usually i have it off as I go to sleep but there was something really cool on last night. It was an old radio show about some mytery involving a jail or something. It had the guy from "A Wonderful Life" in it. It was nice to hear that old stuff.

You can find free MP3s of a lot of those old programs, and I mean a lot, for download here: http://www.archive.org/browse.php?field=subject&mediatype=audio&collection=oldtimeradio

I like to play music off of my PSP, however, if I don't have it I'll try to find a video playing it on Youtube.

I tend to stick to my radio-alarm clock for radio listening and sometimes listen to digital radio channels through my cable t.v set up. However, I definitely prefer listening to music through headphones. I find this to be the best way to hear it clearly and I can turn up the volume to a bearable level without causing unnecessary noise pollution.

I've got several old radios, all of them tubes nearly all of them made prior to 1950, many of them older. Most are family heirlooms that I've acquired from older family members, others I've gotten here and there. My favorite is my grandfathers it's in near mint working condition the cathedral radio my grandfather heard about the stock market crash in 1929, the bombing of Pearl Harbor on, the victory of the war and the killing of Kennedy on and the death of Elvis! I got it in the early 80's and it still works get and I turn it on occasionally.
I'd say about 3/4 of the ones I have work, others need tubes which are getting harder to fine or rewiring that I haven't got around to yet, I have several old Bakelite Radios in the Art Deco style ... no idea what I'm going to do with all of them, I guess I'll pass the family ones down and sell some of the others one day.

A new acquisition to my collection, and I didn't break the damn thing this time, is this Toshiba model:



It is a 4 band model and stands about 10 inches high. It looks as nice as the picture suggests and got a heck of a deal on a buy-it-now auction on eBay to get it.


I have been wanting to get a Sears Com/Trek 5:



There is one on auction on eBay now. The current bid is up to $113.61 with less than 2 hours to go. Too high for me; but, one day.


I presently have my eye on a nice Hitachi model:




Hey; radios are cheaper to collect than muscle cars. But I still have my hopes for a 1971 Plymouth GTX one day.
