Just heard this classic from 1982!

Ah Jani, this song brings back so many memories. I used to listen to this back then on our local alternative radio station here in Seattle...KJET.  Loved that station...my good friend worked there and provided me with so many promo records!♥️
 

I don’t think I’ve heard this song in 30+ years.

I loved KJET AM (1590 khz) and how it sounded crusin' around the area, especially nearing sunset, the selective fading, that AM sound, and great choice of music heard there....It was unique  :D

Here on the East coast, specifically the Boston area all the alt stations were on FM in the 70's and 80's.  I remember listening the very early 60's as a time when there were many wonderful AM stations, WBZ ("The Boss sound in the BOSs TOwN!"), WRKO, WHDH, in Boston and WPRO in Providence, RI.   I liked that the AM signal travelled far.  Later I use to be able to pick up WBZ at night when we lived in San Leandro, CA (Bay Area) when the weather was right.  Some stations broadcast with reverb or echo to give it a concert hall sound.   I'll shut up now as I'm dating myself.:(

Go on Jani, I enjoy reading your post about that classic "DX" sound experienced, and can get quite chatty about radio listening ?  Being able to hear Boston on the west coast is really a great thing. We still have FM AOR here in Seattle, and it hangs on even in 2020 :).....

@Susan R Here is a tune from the KJET playlist, perhaps you might recall ? I remember how cool this  tune sounded over AM back then (bought the vinyl)....:)

 

Rain Parade - Depending on you (1985), just love the acoustic guitar open chords...It's the "Paisley underground" sound

I remember this tune.  I checked my list and I don’t have the album.  I still have my entire collection from that era in the hopes that someday I’ll digitize them all—wishful thinking.
This psychedelic alt rock style was my favorite back then probably 80% of what KJET played in the early 80’s. Some of my other longtime favs introduced to me by KJET first were The Smiths, Blancmange, Violent Femmes, Lloyd Cole, Soft Cell, Missing Persons, and Roxy Music? Those bands probably ring a huge bell with you I bet...lol. When KJET played them, they were relatively unknown here in Seattle.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Revisiting this is like a blast from the past Susan, and you started it when you mention that radio station. A flood of memories occurred :)

 

Here is another local music trivia tidbit from the day. "The Rocket" a free paper, that chronicled the NW "alt rock" music scene back when. Back before the Internet this was how you found artistic "want ads", and bands seeking players. It was always cool to get your band mentioned in "The Rocket" :) it featured club listings, who was playing where, and when, great art and graphics.....

@Susan R got me in this NW alt rock vibe, so today I'm listening to the "Crazy 8's" a band from Oregon that played in Seattle a lot back when. I heard this on KJET :)

 

"Nervous in Suburbia" (1985)

 

My sweetie and I first saw this band back in '87 at the UW, they featured a big horn section, and poly ska rhythms....

 

They played Bumbershoot '89 :)

So the independent movie theater I go to is closed but they started to offer movies to watch at home.

https://www.redrivertheatres.org

 

 You have 30 days to watch from date of purchase and 72 hours to finish.  I watched "Once were Brothers" the film about Robbie Robertson and The Band by Martin Scorsese.  I enjoyed it so much despite being on the small screen.  You might check out local theaters where you are to see if they are doing the same.

@Jani - That sounds like a good idea, as the movie theater business is really hurting now, I heard rumor that AMC was not going to survive this downturn. 

 

I really like "The Band", how about that Organ solo intro to "Chest Fever", love it....

@Cyndee Great bit of playing by Garth.

 

I think there are a lot of businesses that won't make it.  I head that Barnes & Noble would be lucky to survive.  I assume their finances aren't so sound now.  On a related note, I ordered take out from a local restaurant last night, baked haddock with grilled asparagus, and bread pudding.  They even threw in a roll of TP!

Yep, I used to pick one of those up every time I went to Tower Records. Oh, the memories!

@Jani - that's sounds like a great take out meal Jani, and you helped a local eatery. The idea of handing out rolls of TP, to take out customers, has caught on, capitalism at it's best :)

 

I'm revisiting this yet again this morning, since you brought them up, it's just got this certain soulful vibe, and the stellar slow groove....

The Band - Chest Fever (1968)

Thats the cover painted by Dylan if I recall.   I thought the sitar player was an interesting addition as the Band didn't feature it although George Harrison, a friend of Bob did.  The stand up bass has an almost human quality with its arms sprouting out and upward.  Sort of snowman-like.  The Bridge is shaped like a smile!  Lots of symbolism there. 

 

The hallucinogenic vibe is added to by the accompanying voices that are just off time from Levon's voice.  Such a neat song with so much to explore and wonder about.  Thanks for posting it.

      I took Maybelline's quiz https://www.maybelline.com/babelline-makeup-personality-quiz and I'm "Perfectly Practical" when it comes to makeup.    I carry three things in my makeup bag in my purse that I use any or all depending on my mood.    1) Maybelline magic eraser/concealer. Pretty much a liquid foundation/concealer in lipstick-sized package with built-in sponge applicator. It rules.    2) Maybelline mascara primer. It's the subtlest of enhancements, yet makes me feel confident in my eye communication.    3) Subtle lipstick in a natural/nude shade. Very slight enhancement that again, is mostly for how I feel.    -Timi

      Welcome to the forums! Another very late starter here and still haven't made the HRT move. So, I can't help much with your questions. But, you are among friends!!

      I love makeup.  Firstly, I need it to help feminize my facial features, and I'm fascinated by the way it transforms.  I love trying new techniques and new products.  I think the best thing about using and wearing makeup is that helps me feel more feminine.    
    • Sally Stone
      I support everyone's right to say what they think, even when what they say is hurtful or hate-based.  Quite simply, those people should have that right.  However, just because I support a person's right to free speech, never means I have to agree with it.  We should never stifle free speech, but when it is hateful or hurtful we should exercise our free speech right to say how inappropriate their speech is.  The best way to fight hateful and hurtful speech is through discourse.  Sadly, our society has lost the ability to debate.    We have assumed the position that "if you don't agree with me, you must be against me."  This way of thinking prevents discourse and all the good that comes from it.

      There has been discussion before on this.  Not all the TG goals are the same as the LGB+ goals. We can agree on some things, but some gays reject transgender and some transgender reject homosexuality.  I think it is a case of we can work together on some things, but there are limits.

      Welcome Kati. I was 68 when I realized who I was myself. As far as hormones go, Planned Parenthood does work with trans people.  I don't think they do the therapy though. As of now, NC is an informed consent state.  You can get HRT by signing off on it. If you have a doctor or therapist that is trans friendly, it might be good to work with them.   In NC the urban areas tend to be more trans friendly, but you never know, you might get lucky.

      @FelixThePickleMan your post reveals a lot of insight, but also mixed with denial. Your desire to strengthen your relationship with your mother is admirable, but it cannot be the sole motivating factor to your giving up an addictive behavior. However, your love for your mother and desire for her love will help strengthen your resolve. But that resolve needs to come from your own will. You say you smoke because you have nothing else to do and you believe you are a better person when you're high. You must come to understand that the creative and charismatic energy that drugs seem to unleash is potentially in you at all times. Make it your project to figure out how to tap into that and channel it without using drugs. Make that your thing to do. It's a challenging and exciting thing to do.    I started smoking cigarettes at age 15. In my late teens, a good friend observed that smoking was the only time she ever saw me calm. That was profound for me. It took a few more years, but eventually I had the epiphany in which I saw my life as nothing but a string of tedium in between each cigarette. It seemed so pathetic to me and that motivated me to give up smoking and learn to live life differently. My story of addiction is much longer and more entailed, but I will focus only on smoking here as it is relevant.    And as I reflect on it, I also should comment on your belief that you have to stop liking the habit before you can quit. That is not a necessary condition for one to quit. In fact, if that were so, hardly anyone would ever quit any bad habit. More accurately, you come to dislike the person you have become while in the grip of the bad, addictive habit. Not in a self-loathing kind of way, as that will not motivate you, but rather depress you. In other words, you come to a place where you are able to take a subjective view of yourself and your life and decide that you want something else, something better. And sometimes that only happens when you hit the lowest point in your life and there's nowhere to go but up. Don't let yourself get even close to that state, if you can help it - and you can help it.   Weed seems to imbue all your activity with a kind of a magical quality. This makes the world, your activities, and yourself much better with weed. But all that is an illusion. Your proof is that it's artificially invoked, only temporary, and destructive to your relationship with your mother. If I may be so bold, frankly, it is a cop out. You have the potential in you to see your life, the world, and yourself as beautiful, captivating, and wonderous without altering your mind. In fact, it is in clearing your mind that you are able to glimpse this. You want something productive to do? Develop a workout routine. Take up meditating. Learn mindfulness techniques which you can practice throughout the day. The magic is in quieting the mind and being present. There is no instant intensity like you get with weed. But you gain power within yourself, and you are the very source. Become addicted to that - that is a good addiction and you will progressively see your life and relationships in a new and brighter light.

      I had a pretty serious porn addiction for awhile (thankfully broken about 12 years ago), and so my wife sees my "trans-ness" tied into that ... to her, it is all one ugly thread of sexual sin and dysfunction... sometimes, I do struggle with it, too. Is this just another branch of a sexual addiction thing? Am I looking for a substitute for the porn?   When I sift through everything it seems much deeper than that. And if anything, the HRT has lowered/changed my libido and it hasn't lowered my desire to move in a more feminine direction with dress, etc. It can be confusing, especially when you are in a very religious/moralistic environment...   To get back to the main topic, the fear of change and the unknown is huge. And like others have said, folks on the fringe of just about any cause tend to be what gets played up in the media and what folks see the most. Not many people see good ol' regular transgender people who are just trying to live their lives, hold down jobs, take care of their families, etc.

      Isn't it illegal to be examining people's genitals without their consent?    Could've sworn that was some sort of law already.
