east village radio show #32
So they finally let the Audiobooks Editor have a slot on the radio! I kid. The guys had been trying to convince me to do EVR for months–I just had to get my confidence up to an appropriate level. Stage fright is a bitch. Anyway, check out the show here. My general theme was “here are a bunch of songs that I like.” Profound, right? Hope you like them too…

Margot & the Nuclear So & So’s, “Barfight Revolution, Power Violence”
Jarvis Cocker, “Further Complications”
The Veils, “Pan”
The Rapture, “Out of the Races and Onto the Tracks”
The Thermals, “Now We Can See”
Camera Obscura, “Honey in the Sun”

Love it!!
Laura Cantrell is an underappreciated treasure (”14th Street” is a very good song). Hoping for a new disc from her sometime soon.
You have wonderful taste my friend. Would love to tag team radio shows with you! If interested, hit me up. One thing though, what about the classics? Folks like Echo and the Bunnymen, Television, Roxy Music, Dennis Wilson? Keep it coming!
“what about the classics? Folks like . . . Dennis Wilson?”
^^^^^ Truth.
If the call and response on Bishop Allen’s “Little Black Ache” doesn’t grab ya, I’m not sure we could be friends.
And kudos on the Birdmonster! I didn’t think there was anyone else but me out there that knew who they were.
