I know what you're saying, Justin, but it's hard to stay current and not get a distorted sense of what "oldies" entails. Co-terminal with the now famous original K-Tel collections, I think I grew up in the age of the first dedicated "oldies" pop rock stations (as opposed to "oldies" classical music, jazz, country, gospel, and WDED--All William Jennings Bryan's "Cross of Gold" Speech, All the Time!).
So in other words, there was this remarkable moment in my personal musical education when all at approximately the same time, I discovered that I dug The Beatles, Hendrix, Motown, Chicago electric blues, The Doors, Donald Fagen, The Dave Brubeck Quartet, Prince singing "Paisley Park," AND Looking Glass' "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)." That last was the consequence of our conservative "Home of the Oldies" station. That's probably the origin of Johnny Horton's "The Battle of New Orleans" too.
And yet now I look back to Beck's seminal Odelay album, and PJ Harvey's 4-track Demos, and even Wilco's Summerteeth and think, "Gawrd, that's part of oldies music now." I mean, Jeff Tweedy golfs on the weekend and has got a lingering groin injury from when he moved too fast, and he's younger than I am (and I feel like a perpetually confused 22-year-old).
I mean, wasn't that Cobain feller one of the musicians that died on the flight with the Big Bopper?
