Yep, probably still listening to FM too. Take your music app of choice but for me I’ve discovered a number of talented groups with very good lyric writing by simply letting Spotify do its thing. Some of these groups might have had some limited air play on Sirius but not in FM, not around here anyway. The talent is out there, no question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't listened to radio in years (not FM not AM nothing), I pretty much just youtube everything. It's completely replaced radio for me. I think the last time I listened to radio was about a decade ago. I hate commercial crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a lot of angry people on Twitter when Supernatural ended, I guess they wanted it to go on for a few more years. I'm not sure what we're defining as super groups here but is there any argument the Traveling Wilburys were the greatest super group of all time? George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynn and Roy Orbison (for one album at least until his death) all in the same group, and all best of friends on top of that. I don't think there's ever been a group as talented since, or ever will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee59 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 After a cold season last winter, Alaska is off to another very cold start. Temperatures well below zero in the central and northern part of the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riverrat Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I think 107.1 "the Peak" is a great station. Good Mix and Chris Hermann in the afternoon and Jimmy Fink in the evening always plays much different music then you hear on other commercial stations in the area.

tdp146 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Anyone catch the Saturn/Jupiter conjunction? Went down to a park on the water and got lucky for about 5 minutes when a hole opened in the clouds.

etudiant Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Skunked by a wall of clouds over the south western horizon, looking from the Central Park Reservoir. Guess I have to wait another 800 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastalplainsnowman Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Personally, I'm looking forward to the 'great conjunction', when Jupiter will pass directly in front of Saturn. That will occur next on February 16, 7541 (seriously.) I'm hoping that if I diet and exercise I can be around to see it happen. By the way, if you're busy that day or if it is cloudy (does Accuweather's long range go out this far?), it happens again later that year on June 17th, 7541. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even know that could actually happen lol. I'd settle for a nice lunar occultation of either Jupiter or Saturn or both in the same night ;-) Do you have any numbers for when that might happen next?

I went down at 5pm and got a break in the clouds at 5:30. It’s about 15 degrees above the horizon to the SW. A simple way to judge degrees is to extend your arm and put the bottom of you hand (your pinky) on the horizon. The top of you hand is about 10 degrees. So look up about hand and a half to the SW and you’ll see it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
