I like to think I'm supporting the local taxi/cabs out there with my dollars. But the truth is I'm…read morelazy, my red CD player is broken, and I'm fascinated by San Francisco cab drivers. I've learned alot about San Francisco from many a cab driver. Alot of them have lived in San Francisco for years and have the stories to back it up. Two that I've come across both partied with Janis Joplin back in the day, another pays $200 for a 2br (sigh, rent control), and countless others have painted pictures of what the Mission and the Haight once was back in the day. But my favorite thing about San Francisco cabs is the radio. I can't get enough of it. Of course there has been many a cab driver playing stuff that makes me want to get out right there wihout tip (i always tip though). But as of late, I've been really smitten by the stuff crooning during my cab rides. And apparently it's because everyone's listening to 106.9. 106.9 plays the classics. Not the cheesy stuff. But the good stuff. The kind that encourages you to tell the cabbie to take the long way around, just so you can hear Tiny Dancer all the way through.

CALM DOWN EVERYONE!! Oldies are back at 1550 AM. Yes it's that great monophonic AM sound with all the old tunes you love. The ones you sing along to. The ones that make you feel sad in that achingly sweet nostalgic way. The ones you haven't heard in a long time and you hear them and you think wow those guys were really good musicians. An interesting DJ who digs around for little gems like the original recording of Peggy Sue Got Married that Buddy Holly did in his apartment with one mic and a tape recorder. They recently had Big Baby Day where all the songs had Baby in the title. Now let's all relax, have a Cherry Coke with our steady and enjoy the oldies because They Are Back.

It's about as non-commercial, local, and community as you'll ever get. My current favorite program is Wake the Town on Wednesday afternoons with Adam, but there are so many more that I love - Gramophoney Baloney, The Power of Blues Compels You, Cuba Canta....they're all just. So. Good. Support local radio, local music, and throw a donation to KPOO. It's 89.5 FM. I will always, always listen to them for as long as they're around, which I hope will be for a very, very long time. Five stars and all the love to you guys and ladies of KPOO.

OMG this is what KOIT was back in the 90s. I just found this out while doing my research on any new…read moreradio stations on Wikipedia for the SF Bay Area. I love the oldies as opposed to the hip hop or Adult AC. Stations such as KOIT and KBAY play too much of the new music. What you need to do is emphasize the "Old KOIT" with 60s 70s 80s and early to mid 90s oldies from Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine, Commodores, Mamas and the Papas, Cat Stevens, Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton, Vanessa Williams, Peter Cetera, Chicago, Eagles etc. If you remember the old KOIT then this is what you should emphasize Soft Rock and play none of the late 90s 2000s music. If you research KYMX 96.1 Sacramento back in 1996 it was the oldies Soft Rock and I mean artists like Fleetwood Mac, Vanessa Williams Ft. Brian McKnight Love Is, Michael Jackson, Peter Cetera I wanna Take Forever Tonight to the oldies such as Chicago Will You Still Love me, to the Full 6 minute Version of Total Eclipse of the Heart. I so miss the old KOIT/KYMX. I love the very few commercials. So far I love the old Music(: Keep up the good work and please keep this station alive and don't let the Oldies Die Down. Thanks so much for creating such a station!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back when I worked in Sausalito, my office was in the same building as HOS and I used to walk by all the time to peer into their dark windows (it was hard to see anything). Apparently, after I left, they also moved. Anyone with an internet connection can listen to HOS at www.hos.com and for a fee, you can listen to it all the time. It still comes on late Sunday nights (with free access), which for me is the perfect time for space music. It's music I can fall asleep to, dream to, and truly relax to. I wouldn't want to listen to it all the time (too relaxing), but there's something very special about space music. Free of human voices, it does transport you to a different realm. You have to listen to it to understand what I mean. Set aside what you're doing and just listen. The host of the program sounds like Rod Serling, too. It's "slow music for fast times."

I grew up a fan of ambient music after discovering some used Pete Namlook CD's in my local record store. After that, my music collection was built primarily around the ambient/space music genres. It was lonely being an ambient music fan in Oklahoma, so I was shocked and thrilled when I stumbled upon my first HOS show on NPR. Since then it has become an integral part of my Sunday evening, and now with their online service I can enjoy their extensive library of shows any time of the week. Obviously it helps if you are a fan of this style of music, though I don't always find myself enjoying every show. BUT, what I really appreciate about HOS is their diversity within the genre. If I don't like a show one week, I'll tune in the next week and may find myself loving everything they're playing. Each week is different, and regardless of what they spin, the time, effort, and love they put into each show is obvious. This is quality radio. I am so grateful for HOS.
