Good morning, music lovers! October 20 would have been the 75th birthday of one of the greatest musical masters of rock and roll, Tom Petty. Today we celebrate his day with his Top 100 songs, then we’re on big wide Open Stream until tomorrow morning.
Here’s your midweek musical lineup:
10:00 a.m. Tom Petty’s Top 100 Songs
We give you our Top 100 from Tom’s years as leader of The Heartbreakers, with his first band, Mudcrutch, with The Traveling Wilburys, and as a solo artist. This is over six hours of Tom Petty’s music encompassing his 40-year career.
That’s it for today. This is Dr. Petty’s day. Before and after, we give you our big, wide Open Stream until 9:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. Just hit the button below.
Good morning, music lovers! We are on Open Stream for the next 24 hours as I try to move past the worst part of COVID once again. The perils of working retail. I’m not up to par, but you know The Music Mermaid is in charge and the music will be impeccable. See you all tomorrow!
Good morning, musicologists. As we add new content today, we’ll open up with our Big, Wide Open Stream, and then follow with our ‘Music From Laurel Canyon’ EP later this afternoon!
Here’s your musical day:
3:00 p.m. Music From Laurel Canyon: Various Artists
We’ll be running our big, wide Open Stream all day until mid-afternoon, when the legends of the canyon will grace the airwaves. You’ll hear The Byrds, The Mamas & Papas, Buffalo Springfield, The Beach Boys, The Doors, The Lovin’ Spoonful, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell, The Monkees, CSNY, John Mayall, The Eagles, J.D. Souther, Harry Nilsson, Canned Heat, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, James Taylor, Joan Baez, Judy Collins, and many more!
Before, in between, and after you’ll be treated to our big, wide Open Stream as we upload a bunch of new music for the winter months ahead! All you need to do is hit the button below!
Good morning, musicologists. We take a break from the programming today to give you an all-day big, wide Open Stream. Who knows what The Music Mermaid will come up with?
We’ll be back tomorrow with our regularly-scheduled programming, including some brand new music and playlists! The button is below.
Good morning, musicologists! On Monday, May 5, ‘Festival Week’ begins here in The Mermaid Lounge and runs through Sunday, May 11. During that time we will give you performances from Woodstock ’69, Monterey Pop in 1967, The Isle of Wight ’70, and a few of the Newport Folk Festivals of the sixties.
We hope that you will enjoy the next 24 hours of totally uninterrupted music from our vast and eclectic collection of music files. You never know what The Music Mermaid will do, but I can guarantee you will enjoy yourselves. The button is below.
We’ve got an Open Stream day today, giving you hours of our extensively eclectic musical collection with absolutely no commercial interruption. The Music Mermaid is fully in charge and who knows what she’ll do. She could actually even chose a playlist, or a trifecta, or she could just choose to let our file of 30,000 songs run free and wild. You won’t know unless you tune us in!
Good morning, music lovers. It’s a day to appreciate our Open Stream as we are going to leave it at that all day and night, right up until 9:00 a.m. tomorrow! Enjoy!
Remember, there’s never any advertising. We’re completely free. And there are no DJ’s to talk through your songs. The button is below.
Back to the work week as Christmas season in retail is in full swing. It’s never pretty. But we have got some great Monday music on tap to help get you through.
Here’s your Monday, Monday lineup:
10:00 a.m. Bob Dylan: Selections From the 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue
We start out with selections from Dylan’s 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue tour recorded in a variety of venues in the U.S. and Canada. Some of the folks accompanying Dylan on the tour are Joan Baez, Roger McGuinn, T-Bone Burnett, Scarlet Rivera, Ronee Blakeley and others.
4:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Yusuf/Cat Stevens
I remember when Tea for The Tillerman came out. I practically wore out the grooves. The Cat, as we used to call him when we were young, had delivered some of the best music on the planet. I also remember how badly he was treated here in the U.S. after 9-11 simply because he had converted to Islam. One of the darkest times in history. We’ve got another coming up soon.
8:00 p.m. The Byrds Live at The Boarding House, San Francisco, CA, February 9, 1978
A reunion of one of the most consequential bands in music history broadcast live on KSAN 95 FM, San Francisco.
Another work week rolls around, but we’re at work delivering the best music on the planet 24/7, 365 days a year, at no charge and with absolutely no commercial interruption. We’re the anti-capitalist station. The button is below. Listening is believing.
We’ve made it to Friday! Today we’re kicking it off with a bunch of songs that have one thing in common: They were all initially banned from the airwaves for one reason or another. Then, it’s live Steely Dan and a Wicked Wilson Pickett spotlight!
Here’s your freaky Friday lineup:
10:00 a.m. Banned From the Airwaves: Various Artists
Songs like Kodachrome (talking about the crap you learn in high school), Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds and You Don’t Know How It Feels (references to drugs), Imagine and God Only Knows (references to God), Arnold Layne and Lola (references to transgender people), Brown Eyed Girl and Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow (references to sex) and more were all banned from the airwaves, although not permanently. We’ve got a great playlist here coming up first this morning.
3:00 p.m. Steely Dan Live at The Woodlands, Houston, TX, September 3, 1993
We’ve got a great midafternoon live performance by The Dan today, without doubt a Mermaid Lounge favorite and one of the shining lights of the seventies.
8:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Wilson Pickett NEW!
Here’s another one ticked off my ‘To Do’ list. This one has also been a long time coming. Wicked Wilson Pickett was one of the stalwarts of the soul music movement, charting 50 hits on the R & B charts, many of which crossed over to Billboard’s Hot 100. Today he gets his ‘Spotlight’ feature.
There’s no EP today, so there’s plenty of big, wide Open Stream before, in between and after our programmed hours. We’re totally free 24/7 and we don’t track you or try to sell you crap. We’re not grifters like today’s GOP. We’re anti-capitalist music lovers. The button is below.
Good morning, music lovers! We’ve got an open stream day today until we hit the 8:00 p.m. hour this evening, when Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers pay a visit.
Here’s today’s music scene:
9:00 a.m. Wide Open Stream with The Music Mermaid
We are wide open right now as I type, but we’ll be riding the open stream current until about 8:00 p.m. tonight. But there’s a twist; we have a Trifecta at the top of each hour featuring Stevie Ray Vaughan, Little Feat, Linda Ronstadt, Norah Jones, Paul Revere & The Raiders, Talking Heads, The Supremes, Valerie Carter, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles!
8:00 p.m. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Live at Winterland Ballroom, San Francisco, CA, December 30, 1978
Vintage early Heartbreakers here just before Damn The Torpedoes would propel them into outer space.
We’re here 24/7 and we’re totally free. Today we are also totally free of programmed music as well. Nothing like a good Open Stream day. Just hit the button below.
