TRIBUTE: ART BELL / COAST TO COAST AM (Bumper Music)

RIP ART BELL 1945-2018
Two of my favorite C2C AM Bumper Songs.
Iconic stuff to fans of the show.

[@Law-Enduring-Citizen]

I used to do security when I was 20 years old and would work 6pm - 6am and would be bored to tears by 12am and decided to just go through every radio station I could found and found Art Bell and was blown away by the stuff they were talking about

[@LDR1100RS]

Many a security officer spent their mornings with Art.

[@alvaroaguerre1816]

I was an overnight Courier for 20 yrs. I listened to Art religiously every night. I'm on the East Coast so Coast To Coast A. M. would come on at 1:00 am which was just perfect. I must confess though that there were several times in which I would turn the program to another station while I did my stop because it just got too intense indeed, after all, I traveled to very secluded and retired places during the night and it just simply became psychologically frightening at times due to the subject matter.

I started listening to Art Bell around 1995 being up all night when I was in the midst of a serious drug problem. His voice was very calming and I always felt secure even through the darkest of the darkness. Tomorrow will be 20 years clean for me and I'm still a huge fan. RIP Art Bell you will live forever in my heart thank you 📻💗

If u were on the crystal methany stuff, it'll make u paranoid as hell 🤣🔥 I tried it once in my early 20s just to see what it'd do. Once it wore off, I was in the shower, and looked up at the little air vent fan. I was paranoid that there was a tiny camera in the cracks recording me 🤣🤣 I thought the little red light in the smoke detector was the battery light to a camera and there were hidden mics all around my apartment. 😆😆😆 That come down was hell, all it took to keep me away from that stuff. I oddly sat very still, didn't bounce my leg, Immediately stopped smoking cigs cold for a whole 6 days. Bizzar 🤔

Pulled out my trusty, but ugly vintage Panasonic pocket radio ( R-1052 model ) and scanned the AM band. Listened to Art for as long as he was on locally, and Dx'ed another a show out of another state, before the sun came up. I think that night, they were talking about spirits and ghosts. Most fascinating topic and loved ever minute of it.

[@daves7079]

Growing up in my teens I would listen to Art's show and barely got any sleep. His show was one of kind. Fascinating, never boring. Entertainment will never be the same. Too many of people addicted to their smartphone and politics. The 90s were a great time

[@gypsydoratarot8441]

Where can I find recordings of his old shows? The Coast to Coast KZbin channel doesn’t have a playlist of them.

[@lomgshorts3]

Art Bell was the greatest nighttime talk show host after Larry Glick on WBZ Boston. Both Art and Larry kept you listening because it was INTERESTING, not because it was a rehash of contemporary news and events, but because they investigated the unusual with a childish curiosity that was insatiable. With Art on "Coast to Coast", you never knew what was going to be the next subject of the evening. Both the wild and strange, Art sort of attacked the subject relentlessly and made it so entertaining you couldn't tear yourself away. As far as George Noory is concerned, he never "got it right". George is a bore, and a boore, sort of like just dry toast for breakfast. George is somebody you would have to listen to it you were totally bored out of your mind, there is no "spark" to draw your interest in his mind. R.I.P. Art Bell, we desperately miss you!

This intro song is Chase, by Giorgio Moroder,who played the synthesizer on the Donna Summer hit I feel love!! Great song by the way!

[@freegee3503]

The original music doesn't have the laser effect (flange). Art produced the effect by playing two tapes of the same music at the same time but with one starting just behind the other.

[@TampaFanatic1]

Great late night radio. I used to listen to his show on many an overnight back in the '90s and man his show was very entertaining and thought provoking! The fact that he did not have a call screener made his show quite unique. I have two of his books from back then: "The Art of Talk" and "The Quickening". Some late night talk is still good but no one can replace Art and to be honest "Coast to Coast" went downhill after Art signed off.... He will always be remembered and missed.

[@shaftedbyselz2857]

@@shaftedbyselz2857 Great points, in fact I was leafing through "The Quickening" earlier today and thought that what is happening right now is so in tune to what Art was trying to warn us about 25 years ago, almost prophetic....

[@IanPunter]

as a talk radio lifer (big listener since 1974 to nearly ALL the biggest names and many lessers) I must say Art was the undisputed, unchallengeable master of bumper music selection. Noone else is close. Although ironically I came across Art (broadcasting from the Union Plaza hotel on KDWN720) and Rush Limbaugh both in 1988 and Rush was also kind of famous for his enthusiam for his bumper music so he might be in 2nd place. By the way, this vid needed at least one CUSCO song to be complete and of course the obvious choice is the show-ending Inca Dance which is just another fabulous choice by Art.

[@Braavoo__]

[@IkariSniper]

If you ask me, I think there's a list of songs that fits perfectly with late night mood. When everyone has gone to sleep and city is a calm, dark and quiet place, you know? Now, this song is perfect to describe that feeling, and of course it belongs in that list

[@lomgshorts3]

I would scan the AM band for this bumper music at 12 midnight sitting behind the wheel of my Volvo, or other assigned truck waiting to see what Art had for me that night. I always drove at night just to get Art's program wherever I was, and waited for his voice to come on. To hear this gave me expectations that I wouldn't fall asleep at the wheel that night. Always, there was something interesting to hear. When I was in Colorado, I heard the guy fly his Rutan plane into area 51 and get shot down by a F-16! Now, we will never hear anything new unless someone comes along and has that childish excitement Art had during his interviews with people "in the know". See you Art, someday soon they say to me now.
