Inspired by an earworm, that is, a song that got stuck in my head, the show took four themes from the Lovin’ Spoonful hit Summer in the City and illustrated them with well-chosen tracks. Seems to have worked out all right, with a high of 20 listeners, good numbers. Glad you liked it 🙂

Hot Town, Summer in the City
Inspired by the lyrics of The Lovin’ Spoonful’s big hit, we will have a look around the City, with the focus being on the gritty bits.

161R Southern Rock
Despite technical difficulties, 19 listeners came to the show and danced along with a selection of the best Southern Rock. We are racking our brains and searching for a collaborator with more material for a part 2
-
Southern Rock!
This week’s topic is the fuzzily-defined yet usually hard-edged genre of Southern Rock, which has little to do with location and a lot more with attitude.

285 Great British Progscura
Some British bands from the prog rock heyday of the Seventies who were promising, but never converted that promise into sales success – some containing artists who went on to greater things.
-
Bigger. Better. Even More Obscure!
We are, once more, returning to British Prog, only this time, we’ll concentrate on the acts that not even British prog fans remember, and most other people probably never even heard of—though they are well worth hearing. The usual pun-ishment in titles, band names and lyrics is to be expected…

160R Peter Gabriel
A cavern favourite because of his long association with Cyan Worlds and the Myst universe games. He was captivated by Myst, and his music appears on Uru and Myst 4: Revelation. We made reference to his work with Genesis, but the main part of the show was about his solo work. We did include the various versions of the song Burn You Up, Burn You Down, which was first published as part of the soundtrack for Uru: Ages Beyond Myst – preceding the release of the Hit compilation album and a very different single release of the song by some weeks. Up to 18 listener connections, even though our broadcast server changed a day or so prior to the show.

The Singer Formerly of Genesis
Yep, it’s Peter Gabriel this Sunday. From his beginnings with Genesis, through the 1990s with some nice live work and world music collaborations. One does not need to be a fan of the man, it will be interesting!

284 Tower of Power
A show dedicated to the one and only soul-funk-RnB-fusion band with horns from California, Tower of Power. Much more funky than our usual fare and well appreciated by the audience too.
-
Mooooar Power!
This week, we will have a look at the Soul/Funk group with horns in it: Tower of Power. Active since 1968 and the two founding members still leading the band, they are not exactly a hit factory, but have left a hefty footprint in the fabric of Rock, among other things by lending out their horn section to a who-is-who of recording artists over the years.
