As far as "Graffiti/Grease-era" pastiche hits go, "Street Singin'" is far better than "'65 Love Affair," not the least of which because it sounds like it actually could be from that era. #AT40

Okay, it's a technicality, but with True Oldies Channel on 92.3-HD3, "WINS" is playing "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" by the Animals for the first time since just before its format change in 1965. Scott Shannon

"I Know a Heartache When I See One" was a better country-soft rock single than Linda Ronstadt made that year. Also, you can hear echoes of it in a recent Country #1. (Listen to the first two lines of the chorus.) #AT40 youtube.com/watch?v=qpMOx2…

"I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You" has a similar groove to Steely Dan's "The Fez," a year earlier. But "Black Cow" (a month or so later on Aja) sounds like Alan Parsons. #AT40

There aren't more podcasts making their way to broadcast radio in part because iHR's Jeff Cucinell, Audacy's @LeahReis_Dennis are "not looking to foist" their shows onto stations. #NABShowNY

"You can tell from Shazam what the hot radio station is in the market ... playlists should be perfect (for music radio) because of the data points you have." LOVE ONE ANOTHER #NABShowNY

This is definitely a station that some of my Saturday #AT40 crowd would enjoy. A slightly different version of '60s and '70s than anybody else.

Four hours ago, I wrote an article expressing surprise that nobody else was doing the Magic/Miami format of English-language oldies/Spanish-language jocks. Now it's in Orlando.

I'm impressed that reading poetry to his dates worked so well for Neil Diamond. It probably helped that he *was* Neil Diamond. #AT40

I didn't have access to #AT40 in fall '74. I'm not positive I've ever heard Brownsville Station, "Kings of the Party" before. There are other songs in the top 20 this week that I knew, but never heard at the time, too.

You can sing "Stay" to the verses of "Overnight Sensation." Maybe that's what inspired Jackson Browne a few years later. #AT40
