At the airport this morning, and saw this awesome local merch! Our area is home to many onion fields, and the scent of freshly harvested onions often fills the air - it's spicy!

What to play while doing busy weekend things around the house? How about American Top 40 with Casey Kasem from September 29, 1984?

Last year on the 40th anniversary, we ran this whole set on the Thursday night show, which was a fantastic night!

Hey LFGTVonline I got your letter this morning, and wanted to write back.

I signed on as a streamer as soon as it became possible. I streamed on the Pre-Launch Saturday, and appreciated the audio and video quality, not so much the 30 second delay required to sustain that quality.

When your Android app launched a week or two later, it was a huge mess. I reported issues, and they were fixed quickly, which prompted me to leave a 4-star review on the Play store... which turned into a post on your socials, but showing a 5-star rating. I didn't call you out for adding a star, because I really was rooting for you to succeed. It was super shady though.

It's clear that you weren't ready to launch when you held your grand opening. But here's the thing - even if LFG had launched with full API support, and deep integration with Streamlabs and Streamelements AND the better quality, no restrictions, higher payouts, etc, it STILL would have been an uphill battle.

But instead you launched with none of those things, making for a very non-interactive, boring experience.

5 years ago, a simple "I play music, You listen to music" stream was fairly viable.

However, Twitch's integration with all these 3rd parties has made it a whole different experience, and nobody's going backwards from that.

If you make it back with v2.0, and all the things you listed in your letter are present and working, I'll be happy to try again. I still wish you success, but you're going to have to be ready to offer a competitive product to get there.

Hoping for a better future,

STORY TIME!

I had this compilation on a cassette in the summer of '84, courtesy of my older sister, who I was staying with at the time. She lived in a smaller town and none of my favorite music was playing on the radio there. I saw the tracklist on this, and begged her to buy it for me.

This was my first encounter with continuous, seamless beat-matched mixing, and I was HOOKED. As far as I was concerned, whoever put this together was an Absolute DJ Wizard. As a beginner at the time, I was determined to unlock the secrets of the craft. For the next couple years, this tape never left my car, and was played an un-countable number of times.

Until I lost track of the tape, forgot the name of the album, and figured it was lost and gone forever. In the Discogs era, I'd searched for this almost as many times as I played it back in its heyday, but always came up empty - it's hard to look for a compilation you don't know the name of, especially when you only know a couple songs for sure that were on it. (For me, those were "White Horse" and "It's My Life")

I had given up hope. The memory lived rent-free in my head, and I'd resigned myself to accept that that was enough.

UNTIL a few weeks ago when a friend in a Facebook vinyl group, posted a pic of a comp he was spinning, and he commented how flawlessly mixed it was. Something about it looked JUST familiar enough, that I clicked the post for more details - he had included the tracklisting. Reading through side one, I got goosebumps as recognition set in... Then I got to side two, which kicks off with "White Horse" followed by "It's My Life" and even though I was home alone, I yelled out loud "THAT'S IT!!" and within minutes, I'd tracked down a VG+ copy on Discogs, and it FINALLY ARRIVED TODAY! (the seller was out of town when I placed the order)

Most of Side One played while I typed all that up, and as the transition from "Give Me Tonight" into "Doctor Doctor" was landing, I was covered in goosebumps. This is still some of the best mixing I've ever heard in my life, and now I know for certain where my love for long overlaps in a mix-set came from.

I will be spinning this one frequently!

A Saturday Spin for this one that just arrived in the mail... Electronic's second album, Raise The Pressure, is FINALLY out on vinyl! Originally released in 1996, this one wasn't as successful as the debut, but I've always loved it, and was ridiculously excited to finally own it on my preferred format.

If you're a fan, go snag a copy - and if you're not a fan, I can only assume you haven't heard it yet, so watch my YouTube channel for a song or two next week!

TOP SECRET: Sometimes during my Lurk 'n' Work streams, I'll turn the volume down and spin records! Today I just had to hear this one, the debut single from Electronic - a supergroup combining New Order, The Smiths, and on this song, Pet Shop Boys!

"Getting Away With It" is always great, but it's at its absolute best in this Extended Version!

Over the weekend I picked up the 12" for Bryan Ferry's "Limbo" - I'd never heard the mixes, but I love the song and took a chance. The "Latin Mix" on the A-Side was okay, but the "Brooklyn Mix" is EXACTLY what I wanted - just a nicely stretched out version of the original!

I've been a Supertramp fan since the mid'70s. Their 1979 album "Breakfast in America" stands today as one of my all-time favorites, and a true Perfect Album.

One of the things that really made the band stand out was the dual lead vocals of Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies. To the casual fan, Roger had the higher voice (like on the chorus of "Goodbye Stranger") and Rick had the lower voice (like on the verses of "Goodbye Stranger") and while they didn't often sing "together" and harmonize, they really nailed the "taking turns" method, and most of their biggest hits featured both voices trading off parts of the song.

I'm not sure I've ever actually said this publicly, but of the two, I've always liked the sound of Rick's voice better. Absolutely no shade on Roger, and they rank VERY close - but when push comes to shove, Rick was my guy in Supertramp. After Roger left the band to go solo, Rick kept the band going with two more albums, including their finale (until a resurrection in the late '90s) which was 1987's "Free As A Bird" - which was not commercially or critically successful, but it DID feature a Billboard Top-10 Hit on the Dance Music chart, and it's actually one of my favorite albums.

Well, Rick passed away today. I'm bummed - not shocked, but definitely one more important voice of my childhood gone from this Earth.

Tuesday on my Lurk 'n' Work stream, I'll drop a 10-Pack of Supertramp tunes featuring Rick's voice. This will happen shortly after noon Pacific, when we have a tradition of celebrating Taco Tuesday with some musical silliness - so probably about 12:10 Tuesday is when the tribute will start.

The stream starts much earlier though, so hit the stream early and let it be the soundtrack to your day - after all, that's what it's there for!

It all takes place, as always, at twitch.tv/djmikebrady - See ya there, and Peace Out, Rick. Thanks for the tunes!

Have you joined LFG yet?

If you haven't heard, it's a Brand New Streaming Platform that launches Monday, September 1. Unlike Twitch, Kick, YouTube, and all the others, this one was made from the ground up By DJs, For DJs.

Am I convinced it'll actually live up to the hype and expectations? Not entirely, as I've seen these promises before... But I'm all for giving it every chance to succeed, so I'll be live there as soon as it opens up!

If you already have an account, I'd appreciate a follow. If you don't have an account yet, it's free to create, and then you can follow me and pretty much all of your favorite Twitch DJs!

You'll find me at lfg.tv/djmikebrady - See ya there!
