Hey, a heads-up to folks who like goofy stuff...
My show hits the air in about 15 minutes (9 PM Eastern Daylight Time) at

wayofm.org

and the 'theme' this week is gibberish. All nonsense. So there's a few entertaining things in there!

Annnnddd... if you're a fan of the 70's, there's a treat coming up at 10PM EDT, over at

rochesterfreeradio.com

... where this week's show is pure Motown, all songs pure 1970, and most importantly, they are all B-sides off Motown singles from 1970. That year Motown released 66 45rpm singles, but i could only fit 38 of the B-sides into a two-hour show!

Thanks for the amplify! Someone should mssg Pinhead for that 10-12midn show, seems if he's into 70s stuff, that show is gold. Was listening to the Motown singles from 1970, and noticed that every other song was a big hit everyone knows, but then every OTHER song was something i might have only heard once or zero times in my life, and discovered that i really liked the "forgotten" tunes on the B-side!

Dang, those Motown B-sides are exactly what a harried shopper needs after this week. Thing about the B-side off a 45rpm single in 1970, is that it's not the 2nd-best tune off the album the single supports. In case the LP is a huge hit, the label wants to reserve the ability to release a second single, which would ideally have the 2nd-best and 3rd-best tunes off the album (in the estimation of the management, if not of the producer or the artist!)

So a 45 single's B-side in 1970 was usually the 4th-best tune on the album. Now string a bunch of those together, and you got an unexpectedly comforting convent of familiar+unheard. Love my job.

Great "Gibberish" show!
Amazing Motown show, with great song and artist selection!
What the hell? They were trying to keep Dianna's song from billboard!?
Idiots! They rigged it for sure!
Ok back to show.

"The Tracks Of My Tears" covered by Gladys Knight and her favorite Pips was the song which sprang repeatedly unbidden to my mind this week. Used it to lead a lyrical conversation between Kiki Dee, Martha Reeves and Stevie Wonder.

Looking forward, a next Thurs show would be 12/12/24, which is a Math Day. Which means... 12 + 12 = 24. So looking for suggestions about tunes which mention mathematics (not just numbers, sorry Tommy Tutone!)

The Violent Femmes have a tune "Add It Up" and the band Veruca Salt does "Don't Make Me Prove It" which is nice and mathy, but does anyone in this forum have a tune which comes to mind when you think of addition? Or even subtraction, division or multiplication, we don't discriminate when it comes to the maths.

Oh heck yeah, thanks! It's those oddball and outlier tunes i covet.

The one I remember the most is "3 is the magic number".

 

[StevOz]

division

 

[Free Bally!]

The one I remember the most is "3 is the magic number".

All about three, the math there is 3=3! Now wondering if there's a song out there, somewhere, which makes a chorus out of 3, 6, 9, 12

 

[xenonph]

Numbers with pinball theme!

 

[Free Bally!]

Nice stuff, thanks! Earlier did a show about the economy, and that basket of previously unused and new-to-me tunes for a sequel show is growing, and enriched by some Insurge. For the upcoming show, looking for tunes where some math occurs, like one just popped into my head, "Something From Nothing" which leaves nothing, according to a 70s hit. Not much numeric variation, but there IS a mathematical operation at work

 

[StevOz]

There is the Universe...

 

[StevOz]

Does Joy Division count?

 

[Free Bally!]

Numbers with pinball theme!

Nice! Plenty numbers! The math is 1+1+1+1, though. They hover around 2, but have a felling there are more dramatic equations out there in musicland?

 

[Free Bally!]

There is the Universe...

Perfect, thanks! Not for the upcoming 'math' show, the Python tune has some numbers but not much mathematical operation. Rather, have a show planned for Jan '25 about galaxies, and that Monty tune will be a great inclusion.

 

[StevOz]

A+ for effort!
