Unexpected FM

[holidayroad]

This may not really qualify for 'unexpected FM', but today I found the Triad book for 10 cents at a library sale!!. I read it once about 18 years ago and I am glad to own it!!

Funny thing, I listen to CT radio myself (as you probably know, Long Island is about 20 miles away, across the Sound) and I can easily pick stations up. The rock stations there and 103.9 WRCN (a hard-to-pick-up Long Island rock station that I figured out the problem was rooted in te fact that it's boradcasted for further out east than me) like to play the Mac a lot, and they always seem to be played when i'm thinking about how a guy wronged me in some way.

One day recently, as I was driving around, listening to 99.1 WPLR (that's a very good New Haven rock station) thinking about how at this time last year, my now-former BF would have come over and zonked out watching TV on my couch, The Chain came on. Strange coincidence, huh?

I was in the bank today, at an appointment, to make a new bank account so I had the correct one for my student accommodation form, when I heard Everywhere being played in like, the main office area. I was so distracted I totally zoned out what the person was saying to me xD

The bank is the last place I ever expected to hear Fleetwood Mac, I must admit.

Not exactly unexpected but...I was having dinner with a friend earlier and she told me she was listening to XM in the car and thought of me because "Fleetwood Whack" came on. She didn't really mean to say that, just came out wrong. But it was hysterical to hear that. Anyway, I asked her what song and she said something with lies in it...So I"m like, "oh, Little Lies".

When i left the restaurant and was driving home..guess what song came on...

Just wanted to share...made me laugh which was definitely needed after having a long week.

Bonus--I asked her today if she wants to go see Stevie with me next month in AC and she is on board!

I was out to dinner with my family and Don't Stop came on in the restaurant

Well it really wasn't unexpected because I picked it out on the Jukebox thing they had
I picked all 3 Fleetwood Mac songs they had hoping all 3 would play but they didn't. The other 2 were Second Hand News and Blue Letter. I really wanted Blue Letter to play though because I've never heard it before outside of listening to it on my ipod

I flicked over to one of our local radio stations the other day and heard Think About It. I was more than slightly surprised. I did a double-take to make sure I hadn't put the CD or iPod on instead, but nope, regular ol' radio station.

Turns out though they weren't being completely random, but Bella Donna was the album of the day on Cover to Cover, a neat little show they do where they profile one particular album (the making of it etc. ). But at least for a fleeting moment I thought the world had become totally awesome.

Ok you are across the little pond.I've notice WHCN plays alot of Stevie/FM from time to time,but I get sick of the new tunes mixed in. I have to try 103.9 WRCN ,but 104.1 probably interfere WRCN.WPLR is a awesome station to tune in too.

104.1 must be the one mixing in with WRCN when I get closer to Stony Brook (yeah, I go to school there and i listen to the radio as I drive up, but I noticed many times how I'd be rocking out to something, and there'd be static and Taylor Swift trying to butt in).

Another good LI rock station is 102.3 WBAB. They play some newer stuff, but plenty of older tunes too. Now, if you want a quick and easy way to rip your hair out, listen to 106.1. It's WBLI, our top 40 station that'll overplay a sng so much that you'll want to personally strangle the artist responsible for recording that song lol.

GUYYYS, Say you love me on a french radio right now ! That's unexpected, here !

They played 'The Chain' twice on bbc1 tonight and it was nothing to do with formula 1!

A fellow Stonybrooker !! I went there from '68 - '72, things must be quite different now. Back in the day one of the major concert venues on the east coast was the Fillmore East, everyone who was anyone played there. At that time the Brook (as it was called) had a very well deserved reputation as a drug haven, and guess what ? Almost every artist who played at the Fillmore wound up playing Stony Brook during the week. I think the entire student activity fund was used to hire these acts, you could catch The Doors or The Byrds, Jefferson Airplane,The Who playing IN THE GYM or outside on the lawn !! Tickets were maybe $ 3.00 , it was incredible !

Having graduated in '72 I kinda lost track of goings on at Stony Brook does anyone know if FM or Stevie ever played there ?

These days, only some indie acts play Universtiy Cafe (which is all blocked off since they're building this stupid student center that's gonna open when i graduate) and either USG and SAB sponsored Brookfest (this year, it was such a bomb that the Press calledit Lamefest) and everyone goes to off campus clubs to party (those dorms, even suites, are too small to party in).

Sadly, neither FM nor Stevie would ever play there (too busy going to bigger venues, such as the Coliseum and the Garden), but dammit, I don't care if it's Lindsey solo, I wanna see the Mac play in SBU!

I just heard Gypsy through the wall from next door. Unexpected because they only ever play drum and bass at 1.30am.

I was at a Mets game last night (it was free, and the whole story is at Chit Chat) and, as i was thinking about how the game has basically turned into D'backs vs David Wright, they played the original album version of Big Love.
