PROGRAM 30: BACHMAN LOVEJONES OVERDRIVE [11.15.12]

Experiencing a Significant Gravitas Shortfall Podcast

Nearly every Thursday that I do this show, I bring a copy of something by Daniel Bachman to the studio in my bag of records, tapes, CDs and other tricks. Yet somehow, I've only played him once in the 29 previous shows (Sacred Harp, way back in Program 4). And it wasn't even an official broadcast; it was something I tacked on after the fact. Well I'm making up for that in this program by plugging the hell out of DB's show in DC this Friday night. See the previous posts or listen to this podcast to find out the whens and wherefores.

PROGRAM 29: VOTE FOR GROUSE!: OR, SAINTS AND SANDIES COMING TOGETHER [11.01.12]

Election day is almost here, much of the East coast is under water, and Halloween has come and gone without the Mighty Grouse making you listen to 15 versions of the Monster Mash. You come to us for satisfaction, and instead we give you these sadistic candles: a hurricane set, an atheist DJ acknowledging a Christian holiday, and a new track from Lello Boscoverde called "93 Years of Disappointment" (an invective to the Great Communicator). But what's really important is that we all Come Together, no matter what happens this Tuesday. And I think we can all unite over the majesty of Frederic Rzewski's tribute to the rioters of Attica (last track! show highlight!).
