KFXM Tiger Mag March 24, 1967
Sky Saxon & The Seeds make the cover of the Tiger Mag
#1 this week again Blues Theme-Arrows. This kept the Beatles out of the #1 position.
Highest debuts this week Let' Fall In Love-Peaches and Herb #20 and Somebody To Love-Jefferson Airplane #23
Just looking over the new FAB40 and the Pick Hits of the week. One of my favorites has always been BUY FOR ME THE RAIN.
I'm listening to the new oldies station KFXM on kfxm.com as I read the charts. What a coincidence. Up comes the song BUY FOR ME THE RAIN just as I scan through the Pick Hits of the week.
Buy For Me The Rain has always been one of my favorites. Also kfxm.com is great, I love listening to it. That is so good that they are playing that song.
KFXM.com has a niche. Playing mostly the stuff nobody touches and then the known hits. Quite the reverse of today's limited-playlist stations.
Great great stuff to listen to. Oh, yea, the addition of the original KFXM 590 jingles is a perfect touch. After all, these were the hits played there back then. No "FUTURE HITS" but lots of "FLASHBACK" stuff. I keep it on all the time. Once in a while a song comes up that I hadn't heard at all. Not often, but they're there.
It's like finding the old KFXM all over again. Let's see how this station evolves.
The BOSS of KFXM Chris Compton will be adding NEW air talents to KFXM such as ME, who personally visited KFXM at the Holiday Inn in 1965 gazing thru the window at Conqueror Dave Fransen, and who personally KNOWS and RESPECTS the KFXM legacy. I am humbled to be following the footsteps of the KFXM DJ legends, and will do MY best to keep the legacy alive into 2007 and beyond!
What's happened to the audio on KFXM.com? No audio can be heard. It was ok Tuesday. Tried on 2 computers in different places. No sound. Says it's streaming. ????
KFXM.COM audio has been back all day today, Wednesday.
What great oldies!!
Agree that 'THE LOVE IS SAW IN YOU WAS JUST A MIRAGE' is an underrated song. Just great beginning to end. That Smokey knew lyrics and music well !! But then, the whole MOTOWN gang knew how to touch us.
