A wide variety of live takes from various genres, eras, areas and venues is this week’s theme.

This week’s offering showcases cases of interesting instruments—that is, instruments one would not normally associate with the genre of music they are being used in. Come for the oboe and cello, and stay on for the bass harmonica and the bagpipes…

OK, that’s the dictionary definition of this week’s theme: Talking Heads. Post-punk at a time when Punk was at its peak, later guitar pop and world music when those were long gone, New Wave through most of their career.

And moons, and planets, and nebulae… astronomy. That’s this week’s theme. So, if you see stars during our show, it’s not necessarily because you received a blow to your head.

No, not that Alice. We’re talking about that band from Phoenix. You know, Alice Cooper? Well, anyway, that band with Vincent Furnier as frontman. Who later legally adopted the name of the band, Alice Cooper. But we’ll get to that in the show.

Well, Alan Hull, that is. The singer-songwriter and frontman of english folk-rockers Lindisfarne, whose influence has been compared to the likes of Richard Thompson and Ray Davies. We’ll cover both his band and solo careers.

Imagine starting a Blues band, having a major Beat hit, going into psychedelic, creating one of the first concept albums, going full Prog Fusion including a crossover classical/Rock album, taking a short break, and starting into the next decade with a major synthpop hit.

Sounds busy? Well… this week’s featured band did it all, and then some.

Well, it may not be easy being green, but this week it will be easy to listen as we take a shot at the somewhat wobbly-ly defined genre of Easy Listening. Often pigeonholed as “elevator music,” it actually really is not (the frequency-gated drizzle one hears in elevators and similar places is usually called Muzak, after the company that originally invented and marketed it), and can actually be fun to listen to.

This week, we will have a look at the band that fell apart before parts of it fell into Bad Company. Well, it fell together again after its first falling apart, for a bit. It’s all a bit complicated. But feel Free to listen in!

This week we will take a look at the work of Jefferson Airplane the band, not the defunct airplane manufacturer of whose existence the band had not even heard when they picked their name. To be clear, we’re looking at Jefferson Airplane, not the three similarly-named bands former members thereof would later form. That out of the way, we’ll have a nice trip (geddit?) into the beginnings of Psychedelic Rock with one of the founding bands of the genre.
