Chicago's WDRV 97.1 FM is having an album sides May Day today, something they unfortunately only do once or twice a year. I wouldn't mind having it once a month myself. Anyway, they play a whole album side ON VINYL, complete with hisses and pops.
That's just the way I used to play 'em back at home in Palatine, Il., the dorms at NIU, the frat house at NIU, home in Dunwoody, Ga., at the dorms and trailer at UGA, apartment in DeKalb, then apartments in Des Plaines and Vernon Hills, Illinois, and our home in Round Lake Beach, Illinois. Even occasionally here in Spring Grove (where I usually play CDs).
Back then, I either stacked them, played them, then flipped them, or, once I got better turntables, played only one and then flipped it.
You hear the needle drop then they play the whole side, commercial free.

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
