This Year’s Model 1955 – Rock ‘n’ Roll Call
http://cygnusradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/This-Years-Model-1955.mp3 So much much for 1955. Obviously, I’m biased, but I’ve been really delighted at the series so far, and how much great music I’ve been able to squeeze in. This is one of those weeks where I’ll listen to this as a playlist throughout the year. When Dave Brubeck and the Everly Brothers are
This Year’s Model 1954 – Too Hot to Handle
http://cygnusradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/This-Years-Model-1954-20150211.mp3 Harry Belafonte unlocks the spiritual lurking in the folk tune “John Henry” and Thelonious Monk unlocks something great in “Just A Gigolo.” A couple more timeless doo-wop records and 1954 takes shape as a fascinating, eclectic year. With Bill Haley’s “Rock Around the Clock,” we’re fast running out of reasons to call this the
This Year’s Model 1953 – Dim Lights, Thick Smoke (& Loud, Loud Music)
http://cygnusradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/This-Years-Model-1953.mp3 After a week’s delay for computer issues, 1953 did not disappoint. There were a ton of great tunes from relatively obscure stuff to all time classics like “Sh-Boom,” “Mess Around” and “Your Cheatin’ Heart.” Once again, we have a ton of bonus material in the archive that didn’t make the proper set. A sign
This Year’s Model 1952 – Rock The Joint
http://cygnusradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/This-Years-Model-1952-20150121.mp3 1952 is a coiling snake, stretching out to infinity. It’s not just a year. It’s endless. ***** See, what happened was that I tried a different method for pulling tracks, and ended up with several hours too much music. Unlike my normal method, I was then in a position of trying to cut perfectly
This Year’s Model 1951 – Step It Up and Go
http://cygnusradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/This-Years-Model-1951-20150114.mp3 1951 is the beginning of having way too much music I want to play, so for the archive this week I’ve extended the set by an additional 16 songs. So much great stuff that just didn’t fit due to time, so check it out at the link above! Full track listing including the bonus stuff is
This Year’s Model 1950 – Music! Music! Music!
http://cygnusradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/This-Years-Model-1950-20150107.mp3 Technical woes kept me from making my official Cygnus debut last night, but I expect we’ll get those resolved in time for 1951 next week! The good news is that you can still listen to the set via the link above! I started with a half dozen songs from 1949, partially to set the stage,
