    -- go through the one-time log-in, and then go to "Archives".

    Hours upon hours of teenage listening pleasure.

    This is all I listen to nowadays while I'm writing. I'm insane.

    Hooray for internet radio!

    This is great Dan, thanks for turning us on!
    My daughter is into old vinyl and she has a theory that you can't go wrong with anything released in 1972. And you know, she's just about right. But there's an awful lot of great stuff before then too.
  • Dan Leo · 1 year ago
    Ah, Manny, there's so much good stuff back there in the archives. I keep playing that clip of "Song of a Baker" by the Small Faces --

    It don't get much better.
  • Manny Maher · 1 year ago
    I'm going to have to get some headphones, cause Kathleen won't let me play this stuff on the stereo. I love the Small Faces. Steve Marriot was a force of nature! Does Little Steven ever play old Humble Pie with that pretty kid Peter Frampton?
  • Dan Leo · 1 year ago
    Manny, I don't know if Stevie plays Humble Pie, but if not, he better get on the stick, or else he's gonna face thirty days in the hole and have to walk on gilded splinters, and he won't need no doctor.

    Rock on.

    Thanks Dan, real cool site.

    I highly recommend radioparidise.com for very fine eclectic radio. Everything from the stones to queens of the stone age.
  • Dan Leo · 1 year ago
    Thank you for the tip, Marcus, I'll check out Radio Paradise just as soon as I finish listening to the Little Steven show I'm listening to right now.

    As a present for you, here is a clip of the very fabulous Helen Shapiro singing to at least three of the Fab Four:

    I am also a big fan of the Underground Garage. I must say that I was surprised to see the Pretty Things singles cover featured in your post. I must point out that the two most neglected gems of the late 60s era are The Pretty Things' "S.F. Sorrow" (the first true rock opera -- pre-dating the Kink's "Arthur" and the Who's "Tommy") along with "Parachute". The Pretty Things just slipped through the singles cracks and never really made it big -- but man, are they worth the listen.
  • Dan Leo · 1 year ago
    Ralph, you have excellent taste. I love all the Pretty Things' early stuff.
  • Elana · 1 year ago
    I listen to his show online every week. Not only is his music taste pitch perfect and his breath of knowledge immense but he is an amazing DJ in the traditional sense-- he weaves a narrative through the show connecting seemingly disparate aspects of culture and politics and anecdotes from rock history. He tells great stories through this show.

    And its got a good beat and you can dance to it.
  • Dan Leo · 1 year ago
    So true, Elana.

    Another aspect of the show I love are the the little snippets of movie dialogue he weaves in. Everything from "The Roaring Twenties" to "GoodFellas". Steven's just a brilliant DJ.

    The band definitely deserves the name "Kink", for their kinky rock and roll style are exceptionally arousing. Their music, though mostly lively beats are the perfect bedroom music to turn my hubby on and get him in the mood for a kinky make out session.

  • classical music · 4 months ago
    Music is one of the best things you can use for relaxation, Rock music is good to hear for some time but classical music is the best for me. It helps me to be more relaxed in a certain way i just love classical music.
  • Sex Toys · 4 months ago
    Me and my dad's a huge fan of The Kinks as well! Yeah!!!

    @classical music: Have you tried listening to classical rock yet? Soothing rhythm and melodies with various lyrics about broken hearts, angst, hatred and other deep emotions. Try it, hopefully you'll love it!
  • SLR Camera · 4 months ago
    The Kinks band is one of my father favorite band because their classical songs...
  • Geschicklichkeitsspiele · 4 months ago
    The classical music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is the best. It is so relaxing to listen to his music. You should try it.
