RIGHT NOW (July 12).

http://www.wbwc.com/listen.asp

(You'll need Real Audio Player.)

From the SC.net News Page:

Just ahead of their reunion stop in Cleveland, tune in as Joe T and NiNa spin all the Police your heart could desire. Whether you're in need of some Synchronicity, in love with a girl named Roxanne, or hunting for that Message in a Bottle, this is the marathon for you. Here is a message from Todd Richards, the producer of the show: "As part of our annual Summer Marathon Series (now in it's 26th year), for 18 hours on July 12th our station will feature nothing but the music of The Police, it's individual members solo work, and various side projects.

Presented in a semi-documentary style, this project allows us a box-set on the air feel, where we can present not only the well-known hits, but also the rare tracks, b-sides and live recordings.

Our marathons are promoted on-air, online (www.wbwc.com) as well as in local print. The complete line-up for the 2007 series is available now at www.wbwc.com/summermarathon07 . Listeners from around the world can listen-in via our simulcast stream at wbwc.com (real audio 8 and above required). We are also happy to annouce that Universal Music has provided us with copies of the new THE POLICE collection to giveaway all day during the event.

Copies of ONE TRAIN LATER by Andy Summers and HENRY PADOVANI new cd will be given away as well.


[Right now Henry's "Welcome Home" is playing.]


Thanks, Gio!

Is anyone taping this?? I'd do it myself were I not running out the door. Damn! Damn! Damn...!

Sorry, Dive. Not I. Don't have the capacity at the moment. (And the "signal" is actually oddly choppy. Weird.)

But "Fall Out" is playing. Cool.

Cleveland really does rock.

They are playing a song i don't know or recognise - I'm guessing it's Last Exit...

I think so, too, Hx. I wish they would post the tracks.

"Welcome Home" is on again? I'm so confused.

Me too - is it looping?

Got me, Hannah.

They just said an Andy interview is coming up. So that sounds like progress!

The "now playing" banner still has the FIRST "Welcome Home" (9:07 am).

I think maybe we're supposed to just listen and not think too hard.


Ooh! Hannah! Call for the book giveaway! Really fuck with their heads!

You can still use it on a Mac, Con. That's what I'm doing right now.

Haha! That would be rather amusing! I'm at work though so best not use the company phone to call Ohio...

Cool that we'll get to hear Andy interviewed, they've done pretty well!

Ooh it just skipped to them doing My Sharona!

Then they intro'd a song from GitM (but didn't play it). And now it's back to Andy interview.

Seriously. Don't think. It's all bad if you think. Just go with it.


ETA: You're welcome, bella. Thank Gio and Eugenio for posting it on the News page!
