Lights! Camera! Music!
This week’s outing will take you to the movies, featuring notable bits from the soundtracks of notable, well, movies. And, as usual, the occasional oddity.

Here Comes that Big Yellow Thermonuclear Thingy in the Sky
While it might seem ludicrous to dedicate an entire show to a big ball of gas, that’s what we’ll be doing this week: greeting our biggest cosmic source of electromagnetic radiation with a nice selection of songs relating to it, as the seasons slowly turn towards summer.

It’s Winter-time!
Well, the season has changed to spring, but we will have a good dose of Winter this week. Johnny Winter, more exactly, playing his brand of Blues-Rock in live performances throughout the years.

Robert Allen Zimmerman
This week, we’ll look at the work of one of the most prolific songwriters of the US, whose career has produced quite a bit of controversy, but delightfully little scandal. Since this is about his work, and not about the man who calls himself, there will be a lot of cover versions of his songs, as well as material he has written for others from the outset. Oh, and just to mix things up, there will also be some performances of his songs by Bob Dylan.

Ladies of Metal (and we don’t mean Iron Maiden)
This year’s bow to International Women’s Day offers a look at the often wrongfully overlooked and sometimes belittled work of women in Heavy Metal.

The Blue Flames
Well, actually, the show will be about the band’s founder and leader, Clive Powell, but the Blue Flames will crop up on a few tracks. Though we will be looking at Powell’s whole career, not just the few years with the band he founded. Come for Jazz pianist Clive Powell, and stay on for fusion keyboardist Georgie Fame.
Oh, wait, same person. Never mind…

Peter Hammill
This week’s offering is a romp through the work of singer/songwriter and multiinstrumentalist Peter Hammill, a founding member of Van der Graaf Generator with a long and still ongoing solo recording career.

A Winter Warmer
Seeing as those of us in the northern hemisphere of the roughly potato-shaped oversized pebble we call Earth are in what is generally called “winter” and therefore experience relatively cold weather, it’s time to get warmed up. Since we can’t mail everybody a bottle of strong ale (i.e., a winter warmer), we’ll have to make do with songs concerned with warmth, heat, and comforting things.

Un-Covered II
This week, we will uncover another bunch of un-covered songs, i.e., tracks that share the same title, but nothing else. This format typically makes for a wide variety of styles, so we’re in for an interesting ride there.
