KSND broadcasts a dating
show that hooks up couples
to-be via machine messages
Story by Layne Lakefish

three-month
old Affection
Connection,
a radio dat

Flipping through radio stations on
Sunday nights may add a bit more than
music to your life
How about a dose of love? A helping of
companionship? A handful of romantic
rendezvous?
If you settle on KSND, 93.1 FM, it just
might turn out to be your lucky night.
With the new Affection Connection talk
show that airs every Sunday night from 9
pm to midnight, radio listeners can turn
into radio daters.
"This costs less than going out to a
nightclub," said J.J McKay, the show's
disc jockey, "and there's a higher chance
of getting lucky."
This is how the radio romance game
works: ‘The first step is to call 1-800-285
Love." McKay explained. "This gets you
into the system, gets you a password and
gets you a mailbox number, so you can
access your messages "
If you take that first step, this is what
you'll hear when the phone lines connect:
"Welcome to this Affection Connection
free record line where you tarn record
your own dating ad and have a chance to
ho on our weekly radio dating shows "
From there, you will be asked your
name and your phone number (which
will lie kept confidential) You will then
la? allowed to record your own dating ad
"In the ads, people usually talk about
who they are. what they look like, what
their ideal mate is. what their hobbies an?
and whether they 're looking to settle down
or just dale." McKay said "It's pretty
normal stuff, but it tells a lot alxail their
personality.
“We had Yogi Bear call up once." she
said, laughing about a message that stood
out from the rest. "Tm not your average
bear/ he said."
All the newly recorded ads are then
edited, compiled and transferred to
another number. 1-900-Cot-Love, where
the user can listen to his/her messages
and leave messages on other radio daters'
linos This call costs Si 49 per minute,
and McKay said that caller^ usually stay
on this lino for loss than five minutes
From all this information, the Affection
Connection radio show compiles guests
"We listen to all the ads, pick the ones that
interest us and then leave them messages
on their personal dating lines." If the
person is interested in being interviewed
on the air, they simply let McKay knusv
Every Sunday, she and her sidekick,
AuggieSmith, interview 15-20people for
five to seven minutes each. They try to
interview 50 percent males and 50 percent
females, and they attempt to get people
from different geographic: areas
After each individual interview, McKay
announces the interviewee's mailtiox
number so interested listeners can call
and leave messages.
Tho pre-taped show is currently
broadcast in Eugene. Bend. Albany,
Portland, Scuttle and Pendleton - and

Shake Your Money Maker's

of I fit* band The It hick
Crowes handled this
task with ease.
The simple echo
effect on the first single,
"Remedy,” is the most
nouico irom ineirgucsi spin on inn i op
tour.
The product of disregard is
authenticity, and The Black Crowes are
hardly facing a shortage of this. Shake
Your Money Maker held the advantage of
being a surprise debut album that
ambushed the status quo. The task for the
second album was to maintain the jagged
edges in the face of the unwieldily wads of
cash undoubtedly thrown in the direction
complex studio trick on the entire
album. Thesound is perfectly primitive
except for the sanctuary provided by a
pair of bluesy gospel singers
In the refrain of the Led-Zeppelin
drenched "My Morning Song,"
Robinson's voice blends with the
singers' in a rugged harmony. "March
