Street sheets: Life before the web. Almost hard to imagine.Some great writing this past week from some great names:
Fred Jacobs with another great example of how radio can compete with ipods, the internet and cell phones. Read here.
Paul Jacobs says "its over" (and he's right) for many of radio's "bag of tricks". Read Paul's observations here.
Edison Media Research's Sean Ross writes about The Most Intriguing Stations Of 2006.
The Grammy Awards are on CBS Sunday. The reunion of The Police is reason alone to TiVo to grab audio. And this weekend, Milwaukee's WKLH presents "The Shammy Awards" - with rock's greatest embarrassments. More here.
Speaking of TV, how cool would if be if Dennis Hopper did a TV spot for a classic rock station? (I just saw him in a commercial for a financial planning firm...) There's a storyboard floating around in the back of my head.
Love the current Cadillac spot on TV and the music behind it. See the spot here. Listen to the entire song in the spot ("Punk Rocker" - The Teddy Bears w/Iggy Pop) here.
This weekend I'm headed to the shores of Lake Michigan - specifically Pentwater, Michigan to hang with a couple of radio buddies. Should be a fun weekend no matter how cold. Think we'll talk shop? Maybe a just a little. See you Monday.
