In an age of soul less syndicated dj's, bland FM playlists, and mind numbingly boring college radio, it's such a breath of fresh air to know that there are still a few real radio stations out there. am 1690 is one of them. It's nothing groundbreaking. Just good music you can listen to in your car without having to fumble with the knob forever. Nothing too obscure. Just solid rock n roll,soul,country,blues, even mariachi music.
If they play chuck berry it's usually a cool b-side. And you almost never hear the same rotated playlist like other oldies station. It's not an oldies station. There's no format. Just people playing cool records they like. If you are fortunate enough to live in atlanta you should definately tune in. It makes me happy that things like 1690 still exist

I didn't know about this station, Ill have to check it out. I gave 88.5 and 91.1 a shot for too fucking long, they play shit. I just want to listen to the fucking radio and like you say, not fucking mess with it every fucking second. FUCK! Ill try it out.
That's awesome, we have shity radio stations down here.
Awesome! I had heard about 1690 a while ago but never got around to listening to it until yesterday, since I don't listen to the radio much anymore. I like what I heard so far. As I pulled up to my house the DJ put on a piece by Chopin. I changed most of my car radio presets yesterday because I was ready for something new. I added 1690, 1600 (Spanish-language music), 1380 (black talk-radio), and 1040 (music from India).
my pal had to throw out his 1940s analogue radio recently.. that made me sad.
what were the circumstances of Robby Rebel leaving the band?
My dad and I listen to 1690. He likes to call in and talk about Gene Krupa w/ the djs on the air and record it on his tape player. He is fun and funny.
