2010: A Musical Odyssey (Or How I Learned To Love Jivewired Radio And The Great Music They Play)

Catchy blog title. I know. Go ahead and read it again. Then , when I have your attention, I have a few things with which to illuminate your lives, and in particular, your ears.


Back now? Good. I hope the holidays have left you all in fine fettle and you are anticipating a new year, a new decade, and if I can look ahead into the future for all of us collectively, the wonderfully amazing and different things that are going to define the next decade. CDs? 10 years from now they will fetch 50-cents in antique stores and rummage sales. Same with DVDs. In 2020 you ALL will have televisions (wireless at that) mounted on your walls. Movies and music will be download on demand. That satellite radio phase? Yeah, it will be about as popular as Tang instant breakfast drink. Not like 1971 popular, more like 2011 popular. Maybe you still have some of that 40-year old powder hiding in the back of your cupboard. Go ahead. Make yourself a glass. I dare you.


Oh, we are all going to be ten years older, but thanks to advances in medicine and surgical techniques, we will look much younger, I am already practicing my new mantra...... "50 is the new 18." Indeed.


Let me slow it down for a second, and let's concentrate on the past year and the week ahead. I have had a TON OF FUN with Jivewired and Jivewired Radio, and because of that, in the coming week we are going to announce our "Best Of Lists," starting tomorrow. In the meantime, Jivewired Radio is going to spend the next week playing some of the best (and worst, depending on your particular tastes) music of the past year, well actually everything from October 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010. Sadly we have not been around long enough to do a "Best Of Decade" retrospective, but talk to us in 2020, I am SURE you will still be listening, and I am sure we will have a collective opinion of what will have defined the coming decade, which in ten years will actually be the past decade. Confusing? Maybe you had just a little too much egg nog this weekend.


For the next week, you will hear LESS music on Jivewired Radio as we turn our attention to the releases of 2010. So, instead of boring you any further, lets see the music that shaped our year, and hopefully you will tune in and listen all week.
