Thanks to everyone for voting us # 1 in the Radio-Info listener poll!! We won for best Greatest Hits station in new platforms. Check out all the winners Here.
"In most of our categories, voters went with stations that play the hits--albeit a wider mix of them. WFMU's Rock 'n' Soul Ichiban, on the other hand, promises and delivers "obscuro hits from the '50s and '60's." Think of the records that director John Waters used to invoke both the danger and kitsch of rock 'n' roll's first decade or so. Then go several times deeper. It's the radio extension of the eclectic New York-area non-comm's annual Record Fair where, no matter how many records you have, there's always somebody raving about a $300 record you haven't heard of and will never own. It's heavy on rockabilly, tough '60's soul, instrumentals, and jaw-dropping oddities."
Here's Ichiban around 10 p.m. on Jan. 6:
- Lou Rawls, “A Natural Man”
- O.V. Wright, “Drowning On Dry Land”
- T-Birds, “Full House”
- Rockin’ Rs, “Crazy Baby”
- Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs, “How Do You Catch A Girl?”
