  1. 38 years ago today, July 30, 1988, Lynn Anderson debuted at #69 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “Under the Boardwalk”. It went on to peak at #24 and spent a total of 17 weeks on the chart.

    I was very excited to announce a new Lynn Anderson single and played it in heavy rotation throughout that summer of 1988. It was one of our most requested.

  9. 42 years ago today, July 21, 1984, Eddy Raven debuted at #61 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “I Could Use Another You”. It went on to peak at #9 and spent a total of 18 weeks on the chart.

    It’s been a fun and exciting hobby to collect 45 RPM singles in my lifetime. I enjoyed listening to this song on AM 650 KYAK all those years ago. It brings back good memories of that era.

  13. This is one of the songs she talked about in the interview from the "Nature Child ~ A Dreamer's Journey" album that was finally released in 2022 after 3+ decades. The recording process began in 2020. There were about 5 storybook videos released, but this video is my favorite.

  15. Neil Sedaka, songwriter and hitmaker, dies at 86

    misryoum.com/us/lifestyle/neil

    Neil Sedaka, an irrepressible songsmith who parlayed his compositional skills into pop stardom during the height of the Brill Building era in the 1960s and later staged an easy-listening comeback in the 1970s, has died at age 86. No...

  16. Astro Boy Omega Factor with Hamish Steele (Super Mario Moment)

    Welcome, mechanical marvels and atomic adventurers! This week on Play Comics, we’re firing up our reactor cores and diving headfirst into the absolutely electrifying world of Astro Boy Omega Factor for the Game Boy Advance – because apparently someone at Banpresto looked at Osamu Tezuka’s groundbreaking manga and thought, “You know what this 1950s icon needs? A portable fighting game experience where he punches evil robots directly in their non-existent feelings.”

    Released in 2003, this 2D brawler took the mighty atom himself and somehow convinced an entire development team that what fans REALLY wanted was the chance to mash buttons while watching our favorite nuclear-powered pint-sized hero exchange haymakers with increasingly ridiculous mechanical adversaries. Sure, the original manga was about philosophical questions of robot rights and what it means to be human, but why dwell on existential dread when you could just… punch things?

    Joining us for this high-voltage episode is Hamish Steele from Super Mario Moment – a man who knows a thing or two about platform and fighting game mechanics, though probably with significantly fewer isotope-based superpowers than Astro Boy packs. Together, we’ll explore whether this GBA adaptation captured the essence of Tezuka’s revolutionary creation or if it just left us feeling like we’d been on the receiving end of one of Astro Boy’s arm cannons.

    So charge up your atomic energy reserves, practice your most devastating uppercut, and prepare for an episode that’s absolutely radiating with gaming chaos. Will this manga adaptation prove to be a shining beacon of handheld excellence, or will it fizzle out faster than Astro’s battery in a poorly designed dungeon? Time to find out if this portable pugilist belongs in the Hall of Mighty Adaptations or the scrapheap of forgotten GBA obscurities!

    Learn such things as:

    • Should we be concerned that a 50,000 horsepower robot is solving all his problems with his fists instead of, you know, actual diplomacy?
    • How many obscure Astro Boy villains can one GBA cartridge possibly hold before it achieves sentience?
    • How many different episodes will at least partially focus on a character’s butt?
    • And so much more!

    You can Hamish on BlueSky @HamishSteele, his website HamishSteele.co.UK, and his podcast Super Mario Moment. If you want to get your hands on some of his books then go grab Go-Man: Champion of Earth or any of the DeadEndia series in The Watcher’s Test, The Broken Halo, and The Divine Order.

    Intro/Outro Music by Backing Track, who is very disappointed in me for not asking about Astro Boy’s relationship to Astro Man.
