SCOTTSO caught a touch of COVID from kissing the wrong microphone. But you can't keep an old jock down. To wit, he's pictured roaming KLW's snowy antenna range in long johns and a passé mask. How KILLERWATT Engineer Ed "Fitz" Fitzgerald kept a grip on SCOTTSO's cocktail, his own, plus KLW's Rolleiflex camera ... in frigid conditions ... well, let's just say our old school Engineering department knows how to juggle big transmitters and half-in-the-bag talent. The Professor was safely returned to SCOTTSO Memorial Studio A and is ready to spin. Sure, he sounds EXTRA croaky, but that never stopped him before. Plus an all new Things From Indie.

NOEL jumps the red-eye to JFK then hijacks a piano cartage truck back to Signal Hill. He's between legs of multiple tours and antsy to DJ. For the next two hours, you got a busy sound-man at KILLERWATT's controls, dominating NYC's airwaves like a boss jock should. Expect nothing less than a musical epiphany.

(Reports of a Steinway floating in the Gowanus are greatly exaggerated. It's actually a Bosendorfer!)

During one of those long tracks, a legendary disc jockey might grab his smokes, maybe a beverage, and head out the back door. When nature calls, he goes alfresco. Keep an eye out for bitey swamp critters from the Gowanus Canal, sir!

SiriusXM tried sniping-up NOEL at the Controls' contract, but KILLERWATT chief-suit Harold Rashmusher anted-up the big bucks. So don't fret, you won't need a satellite radio subscription to hear New York's Best Rock. Your good old AM radio's still good around our way.

A special request comes in on the overnight ... from Evelyn ....

23/09/2023

Retro SCOTTSO soothes his larynx with a cuppa something on KLW's broadcast veranda overlooking scenic Gowanus Canal. He's had a rough night. But that won't affect The Professor's mighty croak. The show must go on. A phrase Retro SCOTTSO takes to heart. After all, your favorite KILLERWATT DJ and resident Doctor of Musicology is DEAD.

Logical Progression is a brand new program hosted by Brian Lindgren. He's a fan of early FM radio, and when he pitched his concept to the suits at KILLERWATT, well, we thought we should give him an airshift before the poor kid resorts to podcasting. Imagine: You fired-up your old Scott FM tuner. Tweak the tuning for maximum meter deflection. Now lay down between your JBL L100 speakers, or affix a pair of Koss Pro-4A headphones for analytical listening, and click the player and get with the progression:

Signal Hill islet, as it appeared in 1952 when the walk-bridge was still maintained and foliage dotted the KILLERWATT's transmitter/studio site, a man-made island of landfill located in the widest part of the Gowanus Canal.

The KILLERWATT is as analog as a digital radio station gets. We're not sitting in front of laptops, in Seattle, letting bots fix our voices, or deciding what's cool to play. We use old school electronics and skill. Plus we got radio jockeys like NOEL at the Controls who make you want to listen. Ever wonder why we sound so good? Here's just the beginning of why.

Retro SCOTTSO makes no bones about it. He readily admits he's a famous radio jockey, celebrated drunk and old school record store owner in morte. 'Round midnight, he'll cop to being KILLERWATT's undisputed King of Skullduggery. He's bad in a good way. Tonight, KLW's very own Juju-DJ comes to you live and direct from Athens, Georgia.

KILLERWATT Engineer Ed "Fitz" Fitzgerald has no compunctions about showing the world the source of his radio expertise. Every Fourth of July, Fitz is the life of our cookout at the foot of KLW's radio tower. Electromagnetic radiation, hot dogs, plus a singular potpourri of substances: effluvium from the Gowanus Canal mingles with psychedelic hallucinogens -- don't forget plain-old booze -- and the music....

NOEL's back behind KLW's mics. But the administrative suits at CMG (Conflamed Media Global), parent company of the KILLERWATT, are stupefied. "What's all this oddly catchy music?" they puzzle, afraid to make programming decisions. Pretending to be hip. So you see, we're lucky to have cool CEO, Harold Rashmusher Jr., a real mensch. He loves radio, and to him we can only say, "We love you, bubala, thanks a lot for letting us...." Click to play:
