The Carpenters were discussed at good length on TJ Lubinsky's radio program tonight. He had Jim Pierson on. Heard "Goodbye to Love", "Sometimes", "Mr. Guder", "Solitaire", "I Need to Be in Love". I even think @Jamesj75 from these boards was a caller -- feelin' the love from A Kind of Hush my friend! Great fun!!
There were a couple of more obscure tracks played: Look To Your Dreams, Now and Rainbow Connection. They were all played on Michael Poulter's Sunday Evening radio programme (not his nostalgia show) on BBC Newcastle. For UK listeners with access to the BBC Radio iPlayer you can find LTYD at around the 2hr 26min mark (9 July), and Now at around 56min 50sec (2 July) and RC at 2hr 33min (25 June).
I feel like I am hitting the jackpot all the time recently during my drive time listening to Sirius XM Radio. During one drive this week, I heard both Close to You (70s channel) and then Top of the World (Love channel)! This morning I heard Hurting Each Other; I am not sure how they select their music, but whoever is at the controls is doing a fantastic job for the Carpenters' fans out there. Keep the hits coming!
I must be listening at the wrong times. I listen to the 70's channel mostly in the afternoons or early evening and rarely hear the C's. In fact the other day I was actually thinking about the thread where the discussion revolves around how radio "turned" on them later in their career arc, and thought to myself "it continues". I hear songs by other popular bands from the 70's, repeatedly - but rarely the C's.
I feel your pain. I NEVER hear Carpenters songs on over-the-air radio anymore. [SNIP]
I feel your pain. I NEVER hear Carpenters songs on over-the-air radio anymore. It was promising a couple of months ago when I found an AM station out of Yuba City, CA (about 100 miles from my location). It seemed to have a old style Top 40 play list. I have spent a lot of time listening to it (It barely comes in, but I am persistent) while driving. I have yet to hear a Carpenters song and they claim to play "hits from the 70s". Yes, Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, The Jackson Five, The BeeGees all the time! How can you play hits from the 70s and exclude The Carpenters? They have a request email on their website and I think I am going to hit them up for a little Rainy Days & Mondays or Superstar and see if they actually would play it.
Sorry about that! On the Sirius XM "80s on 8" channel, I recently even heard "Touch Me When We're Dancing" with DJ's comments about it being the last Top 20 pops charter for The C's and their last #1 on the AC charts! I think that's what he said (not sure the accuracy); honestly, I was sort of in shock that I actually was hearing the song. It was great!I must be listening at the wrong times.

Top Of The World, heard on KFOK-95.1FM Georgetown, CA this afternoon on the "Pat Leeds Rockin' 50s, 60s, and 70s Show".
