College radio stations had already begun developing the AOR format before that impressionable 12-year-old wrote that fateful letter. Fordham University's WFUV had a show called "Campus Caravan" in 1964 that offered "album material, thematic groupings of songs, interviews with musicians, and topical comments underscored by appropriate musical selections". Not long after, DJ "Uncle Tom" Gamache hosted "Tee Time" on MIT's WTBS. According to Radio In The Television Age (Fornatale & Mills, 1980), "Gamache said he designed the show as "a travesty of commercial radio." He brought in his own records to play and did phony commercials, most of them related to marijuana." In regards to WOR, the book cites the FCC's mandate to end FM-simulcasting of AM programming as a factor in that station's format changes. "Any habitual listener to WOR-FM must have been startled at 6:00 A.M. on July 30, 1966. Instead of the usual simulcast of WOR-AM's talk show "Rambling with Gambling," a particularly raucous rock song, "Wild Thing" by the Troggs, came blaring across the airwaves. Thus WOR-FM chose to herald the end of its simulcasting and to introduce new FM programming. By the time the deejays went on the air on October 8, 1966 (they included "Murray the K" Kaufman, Scott Muni and Rosco [Bill Mercer]), WOR-FM was quite a visible tree in the city's media forest, heralded by The Village Voice as "the only place to hear vital new music and hear it well".

June 17, 1965, page 28. Hank Bagby OPUS ONE—Protone 133: Dee Dee; The Great Wall; Soul Sonnet; Kiss Me, Quigley; lborian; Algerian Suite. Personnel: Chuck Foster, trumpet; Bagby, tenor saxophone; Dave MacKay, piano; Al Hines, bass; Chiz Harris, drums. Rating: * * * 1/2 Take a tenor player who started out as a singer in the 1940s, a trumpeter whose credentials include terms with Si Zentner and Claude Gordon, a drummer who was with both Zentner and Gordon as well as with Henry Busse, Ted Weems, Hal McIntyre, and Johnny Mathis, and what kind of a quintet would you expect by adding bass and piano? To spare you further agonizing suspense, the answer is: a hard-driving powerhouse right out of the Horace Silver bag (or, more appropriately, bagby). The tunes, all originals by Bagby or MacKay, have a Silverish tinge. The group's ensemble attack is forthright and bruising, and the soloists are all excellent wailers. Foster's trumpet glows with a crackling, brassy shout as he charges through his solos, while Bagby's tenor has a similarly full-bodied sound and a lifting attack, although he does not always sustain his solos as well as Foster does. MacKay is a fascinating pianist, dancing joyously behind the solos and taking off on his own with all sorts of fresh exuberance. Harris on drums and Hines on bass provide the strong, steady, surging foundation that performances of this type need. There's no indication in the liner notes of how long this West Coast group has been working together, but the clean, bright quality of its work gives the impression of plenty of familiarity. (J.S.W.)

Yeah, let's go with that.

I agree. And in the absence of kindness, you could always cozy up to the Russians. It worked for you know who.

If nothing else, you're consistent in citing questionable sources: Zero Hedge is a far-right libertarian financial blog and news aggregator....Over time, Zero Hedge expanded into non-financial political content, including conspiracy theories and fringe rhetoric advancing radical right, alt-right, and pro-Russia positions. Zero Hedge's non-financial commentary has led to multiple site bans by global social media platforms... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Hedge U.S. intelligence officials [...] accused a conservative financial news website with a significant American readership of amplifying Kremlin propaganda and alleged five media outlets targeting Ukrainians have taken direction from Russian spies. The officials said Zero Hedge, which has 1.2 million Twitter followers, published articles created by Moscow-controlled media that were then shared by outlets and people unaware of their nexus to Russian intelligence. The officials did not say whether they thought Zero Hedge knew of any links to spy agencies and did not allege direct links between the website and Russia. https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Zero_Hedge GA, you have the right to consume lies and propaganda, but be prepared to be called out when you share disinformation here.

My favorite post from the Hoffman thread: It’s impossible that they are digital because so many people on here can ‘sense the naturalness’ of analog over the ‘harsh superficial glare’ of digital. So they would have known already and told us. I don't think MOFO lied, per se, but they could have been more transparent about their process. In the end, customers got what they were looking for - a superior sounding recording. They mistakenly believed the only way this could be achieved was through an all-analog process. They were wrong, and they're embarrassed and angry. It reminds me of the A/B or A/B/C comparisons I used to do with a friend. Once in a while I'd play the same CD twice, and he swore he could hear a difference. Luckily, he took my deception with his usual good humor.
