CJ's Radio Olio Top 25 for August '06

They Said it would never happen again...
They Said it was too much...
They Said...
Hey! Who's They?? Whoever "They" are is wrong! CJ's Radio Olio's Top 25 for August is here! The top 25 tracks (this month 34 due to ties) as rated by the Listeners to The Olio are availible for viewing on the Top 25 page of The Olio's website.
I owe an explaination to you for why the Top 25 is out today, rather than the 22nd of August when it would normally be released. A couple of weeks ago Live365 did a major update of their software & databases to support Unicode, which is allows for much easier use of non-English Language titles & lettering. Since Live365 has Listeners/Webcasters in 150 countries, this was an important upgrade. However, it took over a week to catch up on the Track Ratings because of the changes in so many song titles, artist names, & CD/album names. Since I had to wait for the info anyway, I decided to go ahead & begin taking the Top 25 racks (& ties) from the ratings as of the last day of the month. Therefore, the delay. Hope it didn't make you too antsy for the numbers!
Thanks again for your support & for giving your opinions on the songs & spoken word pieces. Interactivity is cool.
Love and Peace, Clarence

Da Dolls RULE!!!

Search for New York Dolls on YouTube, and these are the glorious results!: New York Dolls
Besides a couple of lip-syncs (appropriate, no?), there are plenty of live show and live tv performances. Excuse my honesty...If you did not exist in 1973 and 1974, cool: If you did not "get" the New York Dolls in 1973 and 1974, you were/are an IDIOT!! This is Real Rock'n'Roll, the way Zeus and all those Gods meant for it to be! Watch! Listen! Obey!
