I've always been in search of  perfect segues.   Anyone can play music on the radio, but the real art for me has always been about the flow of the music and getting from "Point A" to "Point Z" -- stopping at as many letters as possible along the way. 

This feature will be archived and I urge you to use the Feedback section at the bottom to send in any of your segues and I'll put them up.  The beautiful thing is that with the built-in flash player you can actually do the segue right here, as both players can be active at the same time.  Sorry if you are using an iPhone or Touch or IPad, as Apple's war against Flash will prevent you from playing along.

SEGUE LESSONS #03

'Bridges'
I can't take credit for this one, my radio hero Vin Scelsa pulled this off on his Idiot's Delight show this week.  Absolute genius.  I had forgotten about the Utah Phillips/Ani DiFranco collaboration and the new Bright Eyes tune I've already blogged about.   When "Bridges" gets to 7:37 start "Firewall."

SEGUE LESSONS #02

'Borrowed Tune'
I still use this one occasionally, there's really no way to mess it up.  Play Neil's "Borrowed Tune" into the song he borrowed it from, The Rolling Stones' "Lady Jane."  When "Borrowed Tune" gets to 3:12 start "Lady Jane"

SEGUE LESSONS #01

Ok... here we go.  I found this segue while working at WHTG in New Jersey.  The Call tune was new and I'll never forget hitting it just right using vinyl. How to play...Start The Call song, when the time reaches 4:42... start the INXS song... they will play together.
