Radio's Next Dimension
It starts off so simple. Just a bunch of guys humming in harmony over an infectious backbeat, and that was the only hook “Little Bitty Pretty One” ever needed to be propelled into the pop charts and to be forever known as a golden Rock ‘n’ Roll classic. And if you’re going to be a [...]
Today we remember Ray Manzarek from The Doors who passed away yesterday. One of the more prominent songs he was featured on. Also listen to his own words today talking about Jim Morrison. Steve Leventhal from Internet FM and Acid Flashback interviewed Ray in 1994. Manzarek was of Polish descent, born and raised on the [...]
This time on The 3D RadioActivity we are playing songs from motion pictures. Not necessarily academy award winners, you can bet the ranch that there are some grammys and other tunes of distinction, however that does not diminish the contributions of these pieces of music to the cinematic effort put forth on the silver screen.

Nobody and I mean absolutely nobody sounded like The Mothers Of Invention back in 1966 when they released their second album Absolutely Free. The Mothers offered their own brand of compositional complexity, out of the ordinary instrumentation, Doo Wop harmonies and Free Jazz wig-out [...]
“Walk On By,” “Anyone Who Had A Heart,” “You’ll Never Get To Heaven (If You Break My Heart),” “Message To Michael,” “Alfie,” “”Do You Know The Way To San Jose,” “I Say A Little Prayer” — the list goes on and on, making an argument for the notion that the songwriting partnership of Burt Bacharach [...]
I’m Uncle Marty, this is The Award Winning 3D RadioActivity, and in honor of Cinco De Mayo, on this episode we are visiting south of the border, so get some chips, salsa, guacamole and maybe even a sombrero as we play some favorite fiesta cantatas and free verses to keep the good time rolling with [...]
