Halloween 2017

On Tuesday, we will be going full-throttled Halloween starting at 2pm, Central (after Adventures in Vinyl). We have some great programs lined up for your Halloween enjoyment.

We have THREE programs we will be repeating:

Color Me Pumpkin Orange at 4pm, 7pm and 11pm

This is the 2017 mix by JB, who writes at F This Movie. This mix has it all: Scary songs and wonderful trailers from horror movies!




The Haunted Mansion in Story and Song at 3pm and 9pm

This Disney release is from 1969 and features the voice of Ron Howard. Great nostalgic Halloween treat!





Famous Monsters Speak at 6pm and 9:30pm 

Originally released in 1963, this is from a vinyl reissue from 1973. It features two stories: "Frankenstein's Monster Talks!" and "Dracula's Return!"


Plus, all sorts of Halloween-themed songs between programs!

Song of the Week, "Moon Over Bourbon Street"

This week, we are spinning a sublime track from Sting's 1985 debut album, The Dream of the Blue Turtles.  This track, "Moon over Bourbon Street," was inspired by the Anne Rice novel, Interview With a Vampire.


Listen to the song via Youtube below:


The Song of the Week premieres every Wednesday, at 10 am and repeats at 10 pm, Central. Then catch it throughout the week.

Vinyl Voyage is Down

Sorry for the inconvenience. The servers over at Sonixcast are down. It will be up as soon as possible.

If you are looking for Funky, Feel-Good Friday and need your 70s fix, listen to some of our past episodes of Adventures in Vinyl, featuring K-Tel.







You can access the entire Adventures in Vinyl playlist via Mixcloud.

Hopefully, the servers will come back up soon.

"New York State of Mind" the SOTW

This week we are spinning "New York State of Mind" from Billy Joel's 1976 album, Turnstiles.

Just like all of the Song of the Weeks we have done at Vinyl Voyage Radio, I uploaded a video to Youtube of the song playing on vinyl. The videos are usually flagged for copyright violations, but are usually just monetized by the copyright holder. Not this one. This video was blocked in 239 countries!

As far as I can tell, that's most countries int he world. The only other video to get this Youtube treatment was "A Day in the Life." That video was blocked in "all countries."

If you can, watch it below.


The Song of the Week can be heard on Vinyl Voyage Radio on Wednesday, 10 am and 10 pm (Central) and then throughout the week.

SOTW22- Nick Gilder - Here Comes the Night

I was first introduced to Nick Gilder when his song played on Spotlight, a K-Tel album from 1978.  And I was instantly taken by it.

Recently, I picked up an unopened copy of Nick Gilder's 1978 album, City Nights. For this week's Song of the Week, we are featuring "Here Comes the Night."

"Here Comes the Night" can be heard at 10am and 10pm Central on Wednesday, then throughout the week.

SOTW - "Breakdown" by Tom Petty

Tom Petty never seemed so much a rock star.  Looking more like that awkward child in middle school that we all were, Tom Petty had an ordinary aura about him. Yet he was anything but ordinary.  On Monday after hearing the news and trying to process everything that was happening in the world, I wandered into Barnes and Noble and purchased Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker's Greatest Hits on vinyl. Looking over the track list is was easy to see that this man was a bonafide rock star.

This week on the "Song of the Week," we are spinning Tom Petty's 1976 classic, "Breakdown."

The Song of the Week can be heard at 10am and 10 pm (central) Wednesday and throughout the week on Vinyl Voyage Radio.

Or, listen to it below on vinyl.
