My Final Radio Show and the Records I Played

I decided to cap my show on WRFI Community Radio at 400 episodes ("Thank You Friends"). May be back in some capacity but that's it for now.
I decided to play the hits so to speak. Classic rock, country rock, rural rock, a bit of psych and plenty of stuff you'll know and love.
The show is available at these places and will remain.

Congrats Dom on your 400th show for WRFI. I've lived almost 7 years in Ithaca but only now discovering it... shame on me! I'm glad all the episodes are on mixcloud for posterity (for now). Thanks for investing so much of your time to share your passion! I'm sure it made a massive impact locally. 🙏☮

[@seekingathread]

Cedric thank you! Very glad to connect with you and looking forward to getting together. I will keep the episodes up as well. I may listen to a few myself

[@sjbang5764]

"Say it, fear is a man's best friend". Great video, great music!

[@Localbandography]

Live radio show you have my full endorsement for.

[@seekingathread]

Sweet. Need to do some reconnaissance.

[@the-vinyl-dreamscape5084]

Thanks for the update. I didn’t realize that you had been on the radio for so long. Congratulations. Many of those same albums have meant so much to me on this musical journey. I will need to go back and watch a couple of episodes to catch up on what you’ve been doing all these years. Thank you for sharing. Cheers.

I love the medium of radio Shawn. I will be listening to my fellow DJs and contemporaries and perhaps some new ideas will strike.

[@michaelvalentini4869]

Dom, congrats on doing 400 Radio shows. I've got some friends who did, or still do, college Radio shows. I know how much work is involved in keeping things fresh.Yes, that Lee Hazlewood album is my fave by him.''If It's Monday Morning" is a perfect tune. The bass line is sublime. The song, ''The Bogus Man'' on the Roxy Music album is Post- Punk before Punk was even invented! The bass line is sublime. My top album by Sly Stone is ''Fresh'', Miles Davis loved that album too and forced his band members to listen to it over and over again- boom!

[@seekingathread]

Yes i need to land Fresh, keep meaning to grab that one. But thank you Michael. I love radio and the art of telling a story with no visuals. Nothing like it. I have a feeling that wasn't my last. Cheers

[@tobbebonzo]

Very cool! I have never heard any of your shows before, but I will start with number 400 and work my way down. Great to have in my earbuds on the daily walks…

[@seekingathread]

Alright then. Plenty of shows to choose from. Mixcloud has all 400 + bonus episodes and via podcast its somewhere between 100-200

[@marcusen_bender]

It is gratifying to see you with this dedication and passion. Imo it is what matters. Great albums… some of them important to me too. I encourage you to continue with this channel, I'm sure you will find a way to get the project you have in mind. Take care and d thanks for sharing. Greetings. I wish you the best Dom

[@seekingathread]

Very much appreciated, yes indeed plan to keep this channel going. At the moment I have plenty of ideas moving forward

[@onmyturntable7036]

Thanks for sharing Dom: always knowledgeable and enjoyable episodes. Kudos on your 10 yr radio run. 😎🎶

[@chapmancarruthers]

I’m all in for a radio show on KZbin

[@christopherkibler511]

Dom, maybe WRFI's loss will be KZbin's gain. Lots of great album in that final show. Never heard of Robert Lester Folsom, until now. Thanks, Chris

[@seekingathread]

Thank you Chris, check out those Folsom archival records if you can. Great songwriter

[@NotedArchived]

Congrats on a great radio run. Such a beautiful thing. So fun to see a sneak peek into the studio. Good fun. Love the Shipping News shirt!

[@seekingathread]

Michael thank you. I've got plenty of other things to divert my attention to. But perhaps I will make a come back to radioland down the road.

[@Paneeks1960]

Sorry to hear that you closed down the radio show Dom. That is quite an accomplishment. I did hear a few as you know. Maybe you will get an itch hear and there to do some surprise shows. Well done D~ Rob/Boston

[@seekingathread]

Thank you Rob. I know you've checked in over there listening to some shows. We shall see how withdrawal goes not doing the show. Perhaps I won't be able to stay away.

[@JWD1992]

Lots of classics here! Sparks seemed to shoot up in price like the past 10 years, probably less. Everyone started realizing how great they are. I have a feeling the Emitt Rhodes records will soon, too, as more people realize how great he is. I need that Fairfield Parlour album. Just discovered it. LOVE Roxy Music and For Your Pleasure. Editions of You is a banger. I also have one of those glorious "pink-rim" UK Islands. I do not have the Stooges' debut, though. Incredible. Talk about going up in price! I would be thrilled just to find a late 70s pressing at this point. And CP is indeed Columbia Pitman.

[@seekingathread]

Hey John, perhaps with Rhodes. I don't know if all his records are as good as that one but they all have merits. Great songwriter. I need to upgrade Fun House as my copy is a bit beat but good luck to me these days.

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

In the 80s I bought all the Sparks in the bargain bins. Now the prices are stupid high. I have seen the Emmitt Rhodes in my travels but knew nothing of it. Now I’m interested Dom. The end of an era Doug. Everything takes time to do

[@seekingathread]

Very true, it all takes time even the good stuff. We'll see if I miss it. Definitely grab that Emmit Rhodes if you see it. I see it here all the time, perhaps I will snag it for ya next time.

[@Universityofvinyl]

Ha! Columbia Pitman. Cool video - congrats on 10 yrs. There is value in “sticking with it” and smart to bring it to a close if it starts to feel like a chore.

[@seekingathread]

ha thanks Tim, glad you saw me fumbling around with my pressing plants. Sometimes even a fun thing can feel like a chore. Gonna divert that energy to something else.

[@diamond_marimba]

10 years is one hell of a run, ill always remember the show dedicated to your dad, amazing. I've only owned two of these records on vinyl--guess which ones?

[@seekingathread]

I was, and really still am, in the process of doing a show dedicated to my mom. A tougher one to do but will happen. I'd guess the Roxy Music and John Cale.

[@diamond_marimba]

look forward to that dom. no, it was Fairport Convention and the VU.

[@markspooner1224]

Some very nice ones there, I'd forgotten that Judy Nylon existed, I'd love to pick up her Pal Judy album (for a reasonable price).

[@seekingathread]

I love that one, play it pretty often in fact.

[@hasseelmerson]

Interesting albums you show us here, I must trust you and try or buy this unknown for me Robert Lester

[@seekingathread]

It's a beauty, can certainly stream it as well

[@soundofminder]

Congrats on making it to 400/ 10 years, quite impressive. On The Beach is definitely top tier Neil Young for me too.

[@seekingathread]

Thank you Thijs!

[@deancronin6934]

End of an era, I just renewed my radio show on Trent University radio here in Peterborough Ontario for another season, but will probably take a break in September, Canadian radio rules can be challenging for programming but I will persevere, but I still need to start up my KZbin channel

[@seekingathread]

You do but perhaps you mentioned it, maybe not, what's the name of your show and how can I listen to it? is it online?

[@deancronin6934]

@@seekingathread You can access it online if you search up Trent Radio 92.7 FM, we have a webpage and a Listen Live button, and I’m live every Monday 7-8 pm through until the end of August, tonight’s show was challenging as the right channel dropped out on turntable 2, oh the joys of community radio! Would love if you tuned in Dom I call my show The Musical Mineshaft

[@bigstar1000]

Have to agree with Emitt Rhodes, very nice LP. Same with that Link Wray record. Very roots rock. A sound that I enjoy every now and then.

[@seekingathread]

Too bad the other Link Wray records recorded at that same studio, which was an old chicken shack I believe, don't have the same magic.

[@ryanand154]

I was raised on radio.

[@miketomlin6040]

On the Beach has become a hipster vinyl, used to be seen as poor, still is to my ears. His voice seem to lack the capacity to transmit feeling on this record. Woofter one of the first Lp's I owned, no memory now as to why I picked it up, but the track ''batteries not included'' was pop music gold.

[@seekingathread]

Really Mike? He is full of honey-balled emotion on that record. Staggers me every time.

[@miketomlin6040]

@@seekingathread It's one I ran by a few Musos thinking I might be missing its raison d'etre, but to date none of them seem to rate it. Whereas Harvest and ATGoldrush were lovely at times.

[@Grooverski]

Maybe, just maybe YT Dom DJ LS in the future….🤞

[@seekingathread]

haha, we shall see.

[@thebuxtstopshere]

I'm sure you gonna be sorely missed.. But we move on
