OK. OK.  I finally got around to putting together a new podcast.  This one is about 90 minutes long.  I forgot how much fun it is to do a little announcing between the tunes.  So -- who knows? -- maybe I'll do some more in the near future.

Even though I've been streaming my oldies show 24/7 for nearly a year now (at www.TheLex.us), I know there are a few folks out there still listening to the hour long shows I produced previously on the podcast webpage.  In hopes of keeping these listeners happy, I am going to again try to put two or three 90 minute recordings of the stream feed on the podcast page each month.

After a two week hiatus, the streaming version of TheLex -- my continuously running rock & roll internet station -- is back up.  Check it out at .  And for those times when you are away from the internet, take along three hours of hits by downloading a sampling recorded directly off the internet station.  If you have some songs you don't think are on my playlist, drop me a line with some suggestions at [email protected].

Hey, kids.  I've been cobbling together a streaming version of TheLex:  24/7 of my favorite (and yours', I hope) tunes.  Just click here to enjoy: I'm still fine tuning the "station", so, at times, it will be down.  Drop me an email and let me know what you think -- [email protected].  Enjoy!

Hey, folks.  I know its been quite a while since I published a new show.  I guess I got a little distracted with life -- or something.  Anyway, I recently started playing around with creating a full time, streaming oldies service.  I've assembled an initial collection of over 2,100 of my favorite tunes -- 50s and 60s oldies, classic rock, ballads, and a fewer newer songs.  I have a show running 24/7 on my desktop, but, I'm still working out the kinks in the automation and audio chains, and I haven't figured out exactly how to publish the stream.  While I'm working...

Rolling Stone Magazine's Top 100 Songs -- Part 1 show art Rolling Stone Magazine's Top 100 Songs -- Part 1

In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine poled a select group of 172 musicians, critics and industry figures to compile the 500 greatest songs of all time.  Not all of these songs were hit singles, and a high percentage were released in the 50s, 60s and 70s.  I have collected the top 100 songs from this list, and in this program, songs 100-76 are played.  The remaining 75 songs will be published in three upcoming programs.  Enjoy!

Labor Day:  The traditional end of summer; and the start of school.  Those first few days and weeks of schools were always fun; old friends, new friends, football games; and, lots of great music.  I worked my way through the 60s and came up with some great "Back to School" musical memories.  Enjoy!

Starched shirts, skinny ties and lapels, and a stiff glass of mid-morning scotch!  That's the profile of Don Draper -- mad man extraordinaire.   Here's some music reminiscent of the times in which the characters from TV's best show -- "Mad Men" -- thrived.  Light up a lucky and have a ball, gang!

Its still summer, and I'm still enjoying listening my favorite summer oldies.  Here's another batch.  I'm afraid the program runs more than an hour and a half, though.  I just couldn't stop.  Enjoy!!
