Speaking of that, old clip of V Spy V Spyâs âDont Tear It Downâ also takes me back as it shows the streets of Sydney from the mid 80s in a time lapse sequence (from about 2:30 to 2:50) ⌠Looked so different back then!
Great song as wellâŚ

Gee 4KQ was rocking out today with Barracuda/Heart at lunchtime and Donât Stop Believing/Journey in drive.
All I can say is watch out 4MMM and your alleged rock variety

You wouldnât hear either of those songs on WSFM (or any other commercial FM station for that matter) in Sydney. Strange how an AM station is more likely to play those songs than an FM station!

Yeah I know. AM is the new FM

Still on the subject of Journey, I heard the soon to be closed Magic network (via 2CH in Sydney, which will remain as a music station under new ownership) played âOpen Armsâ at around 3:45-3:50pm AEDT this afternoon.

Now I wish that 2uw and 2ws never converted to FM

It would have been interesting to hear what 2UW and 2WS would have sounded like today, if 101.7 and 106.5 had been allocated to new licensees instead of as AM to FM conversions.
Yes I was really looking forward to having a classic hits station on FM. 2ws was exactly the same format for a few years but slowly but surely becoming more like 2day FM of the late 80s and early 90s. Mix did have way back Wednesdays but never had a 2uw like format. The same thing happened with i98fm. It really was a good classic hits stations in the early 90s.
2ch now has great audio at 128k and old music can sound great on FM. Smooth sounds great too, but for me I just donât dig smooth. It feels fake. But at least credit given to smooth they broke this trend of only playing low risk 80s and 70s tracks , and added at least some variety.

Yes, I donât like the way Smooth has overseas based âGuestâ DJs whose shifts are recorded weeks in advance.
They would be better off getting some Aussie music legends like Iva Davies to host some some shifts regularly with a serious smooth music focus, preferably live.
