211 Styx

A favourite band of many of our audience, much bigger in the US than Europe, and one I had never heard before….    in mitigation, I’m a sort-of-reformed jazz fan, via fusion and prog rock, so I’m approaching this sort of thing from a different direction.  Edison let slip that, not only was a fan, but that in 1979 he was asked to try out for the band, when Dennis de Young temporarily left after the disagreement following “Babe”…  A missed opportunity, or a lucky escape, perhaps.

080R Biting the Hand That Feeds You

Musicians being rude about the music business is not news, but getting their complaints issued on recordings is quite an accomplishment.  Max Headroom only managed it on TV for a short while…   A great selection, appreciated by a great audience.

Biting the Hand that Feeds, Remastered

This week’s showing is a remaster of the show we did six years ago featuring songs that poke fun, or satirize, or otherwise unfavourably comment on, the recording industry. Some go straight for the throat…

210 Un-covered III

A third set of un-covered tracks, that is, tracks that have the same title but are otherwise not connected.  It’s been a while since we did one of these, and this one went together very well.

Un-Covered III

This week, we will go through a third set of songs that share a title, but nothing else: they are not cover versions of one another, i.e., un-covered. As we found in the preceding two sets of the same concept, this makes for a very varied set of styles, so we’ll have a little bit of a roller-coaster ride.

079R Turn it Up!

One of our best shows, well deserving of a rebroadcast, but we were snookered by technical issues on the voice side – the music came through fine, so we carried on.  I’m happy to do a repeat on an off day, do suggest a good one…  Despite all that, 26 listeners at one point, which is very good by any standards for a niche Internet radio.

Turn It Up! Remastered

This week’s show features songs with hooks (those are the opening notes establishing the theme of the song) that make the listener sit up and turn it up to eleven.

Larry Coryell and The Eleventh House

This week’s show will concern itself with Jazz guitarist Larry Coryell and his 1970s band, The Eleventh House.

Coryell partnered with a who-is-who of modern Jazz throughout his career and is considered one of the pioneers of Fusion, so this would be a good show to get to know the genre, if you’re not familiar with it already. In which case this would be a good show to enjoy it.
