(Re-cut and re-cast from 03/19/07)

Reach for some music and see where it takes you.

Spring is here officially, but the feeling that it's arrived hasn't quite settled in. The weather is nicer and things are just starting to get green, and so the mood has moments of bouncy celebratory goofiness.

But it seems that Winter and it's heavy coat of blues can be hard to shake off all in one go, so the result seems to be a vague, bipolar essence of... what- -

- - Spirited melancholia, perhaps? A hesitant rebirth?

- - Ahh, skip it. Whatever it was, as usual some of it rubbed off onto the musical selections for this show. Hope you enjoyed.

My directive remains the same:

doo-wop |ˈdoō ˌwäp|
noun

a style of pop music marked by the use of close harmony vocals using nonsense phrases, originating in the U.S. in the 1950s.

Just for the thrill, this episode was a streetcorner spotlight on classic vintage group harmony vocals, fine as wine.

What IS that song?

That sounds sorta like the that guy, what was his name... He did that thing. About that girl, or something. You know.

This song, and the one I can't remember - - together they kinda make me think of that band I saw once, and it reminds me of that time that stuff happened back before.

Funny how music can remind one of so many things. It's like one thing leads to another, and somehow it all relates. Or something.

... And in the end, though there was plenty of ground covered in this particular show, it seemed that all winding roads eventually led back to The Beatles.

The Beatles as recurring theme makes perfect sense to me; It's always been that way in my life, and I expect the trend to continue.

Never forget: At it's core, Rock and Roll is MEANT to be bad for you.

It can shake you up, frighten your parents, jar you from your routine, brighten your day, lift your spirits, expand your mind, and put a bump in your grind.

I found some rockin' beats to scatter liberally throughout this show. Found some other stuff, too, and had the usual barrel of monkeys fitting it all together.

Feel free to drop a line via the 'Email me' link o'er yonder. Say hey, ask a question, or leave a suggestion for a future show. Many thanks!

Another in the ongoing series of eclectic playlist experimentation.

How wide can one cast the net?

How many bases can be hit and still have a set of music maintain some kind of flow?

I'm sure I don't know, though I'd guess different people would have different opinions.

Your opinions, questions, suggestions are all welcome.

Ever have a song get stuck in your head?

Ever have an old song bring back a vivid memory of a time and place?

The vibrations don't stop when they reach your ears.

They resonate in your brain and strike sparks as they mix with thoughts and sensations.

They can dig in and set up a long-term residency.

Here was another batch of tunes. Maybe some of them are returning to you like old friends. Maybe some are new to you and will stick around.

It's not up to me, and it's not always up to you...

'Ohhh yeaahh... THIS album...

'How long has it been since I played this one? Jeez, how long has it been since I THOUGHT of this one?'

This week's show had that sort of 'use it or lose it' aspect to it.

Grabbing some of the music from my archives that for whatever reason I usually skim past - - and yet I never got rid of it.

Some treasures and memories. Barring several exceptions the average release year here was likely about 1995, give or take.

Hope you enjoyed.

Remember mix tapes?

Heck, for that matter - - remember cassette tapes??

I guess that making mixtapes used to be the way that many of us were able to express our inner deejays...

This show stacked up a big batch of female vocalists, most of the tracks from the American 'Girl Groups' era of the mid-fifties to the mid-sixties.

In typical fashion, there's some selections that stray into exotic locales, head deeper into Soul/R&B grooves, are of a more contemporary vintage serving to pay tribute to the sound, or are more recent recordings from ladies who were part of the scene back in the day.

Hope you enjoyed it!

All of your questions, comments or suggestions for future shows are all welcome. Please click the 'E-mail me' link over in the sidebar.

Thanks so much for listening...

What is the message? What is it's meaning?

When a vocalist takes the microphone, what do you receive?

Here was a smattering of songs of different moods and different styles, all with a message to convey.
(Just like any batch of tunes)

Some are playful, some are rich with 'intent'.

Did the few instrumentals convey as much as songs with lyrics?

Discuss.

Merely a blatant bop down memory lane.

The lyrics are all familiar, even if the particular versions are not.

It's a guest deejay slot this week in Berkeley!!

2007-09-25T18:12:00.000-06:00

- - ANNOUNCEMENT!! - -

THURSDAY 9/27/07
9am - NOON (Pacific Time)
'The In Crowd' guest DJ slot on KALX 90.7 FM in Berkeley
( http://kalx.berkeley.edu ),
live on the air with Sex 14s.

As if another visit back to the bay area from whence I came isn't excitement enough for me, this upcoming
THURSDAY the 27th,
barring incident, I'll be on the air sitting in with my dear friend
Sex 14s, spinning tunes during his morning timeslot on KALX.
Last time I did this was back in January, and Sex was gracious enough to turn his show over to me for the duration. It was just WAY too much fun.

(KALX ad image by DJ Craig Baxter.) ⤴

I hope you'll listen in, if you have the opportunity. It's been a while since I've had the live radio experience I love so much.
Could be I'll suck, which I'm sure would also be entertaining...

This show wandered briefly through some jazz (including a brief farewell to the legendary
Max Roach), some old R&B, and some outlaw C&W before settling into it's main theme:

Songs that S.P.E.L.L. out their T.I.T.L.E.S.

I've completely swiped this week's theme from one of my old radio D.J. pals at K.A.L.X. in Berkeley, the lovely Jesse Luscious.

Jesse recently polled other KALX DJ's to pool their vast musical knowledge for candidates for such a theme show.
(In my defense, I made a few of the contributions to that list, O.K.?)

It was fun putting it all together. Hope you E.N.J.O.Y.E.D.

I'm doubtful that anyone out there has more fun than me when I'm programming another show.

I get to indulge my whims, pick the music that moves me at the moment, and let it fall together in a manner that suits my tastes.

The result couldn't possibly suit everyone, but I follow my own happiness confident that the show will strike the right people the right way.

It's a great privilege, and I thank you for being involved in the process.

And as always: Any questions, comments about the music - - just click on the 'email me' link.

Thanks again, thanks!

It was just another meandering flight from one point to another, with no particular destination in mind.

Life is grand, life is large, and filling it with music only makes it more so, sez I.

It feels good, so do it.

(And I'm happy to help if I can)

Music may also manage to be a fitting reminder, as well, when your life decides to get in your face and mar your mood.

The music flows, the music changes, just like life.

Is there a question about the music?

Hmmm. Sometimes I just get to feelin' ornery, I guess.

Fulla piss 'n' vinegar. Ready to raise a ruckus, and ready to throw some wild curve balls and see how they fly.

Loud music, difficult music, troubled music, and soft and pretty music that shouldn't quite fit in.

Beautiful Noise. What fun.

The notes and the songs and the moods and ideas tumble and change and flow.

You jump into that stream wherever you may and sail along for the ride as long as you do, your attention drifting from the music to your own activity and back again, as one informs the other. Maybe occasionally asking, 'How did we get from there to here?'

Hope it was a pleasant trip.

If you grew up in a country where homes didn't tend to have garages, you didn't get to call that loud music on the the little scratchy 45 single 'garage rock'.

If you were in the UK or parts of Europe, you might have called that same music 'Freakbeat'.

But really, the genre labels and ever-morphing subsets don't matter, and more often than not they just get in the way.

Is it garage pop, or pop punk, or power pop, or garage punk? Post garage? Neo-punk?

Wait, what if they were signed to a major record label? It can't truly be indie-rock then. Hold it, that's a blues number... but it's being performed by a bunch of white British teens, so what is it now?

We all feel the need to codify and organize from time to time, but let's not forget to enjoy the music, okay?

'It's all Amurricana, by Gawd!'

For no particular reason that I can figure, this week's show turned out to be chock full of country twang, and nothing but.

Plenty of vintage stuff, mixed in with a bit of the more contemporary countrypolitan. I've heard Billy Kirchen call it 'Grange Rock'.

Honky-tonk howl, a trucker tune or two, a wee taste of bluegrass and rockabilly and western swing also along the trail.

A groove is a groove is a groove, as bossa nova, jazz and '60's cinematic Europop rolled along nicely before inextricably yielding to some choice vintage R&B.

German pop-rap & middle-eastern hip hop. Spooky C&W & classic snotty punk. Heavy Sabbath-esque bass fuzz, surf instrumentals and sixties girl groups. Suds-fueled frathouse R&B and unlikely foreign cover tunes. Music ripped off by Led Zep, and the folks who make fun of them. Psychedelia homage and songs about sneezing.

So much music, so little time!

Too many choices. So many genres, styles, arrangements, moods.

Eras of different sound. The hip and the passé, the next big thing and the golden oldie.

Classics and schlock.

Thank heavens there are too many choices. Bring it on, I say.

Too much is better than not enough.

Yep, went kinda krazy with the glam and the bubblegum this time.

A taste of new wave and oi! thrown in as well, but we can probably tag it all as 'RAWK' and be done with it.

Okay, time to pull off my spangled boots with the 12-inch platforms, remove my cape, strip out of the sweaty day-glo vinyl jumpsuit, scrub the glitter off my chest, and go back to the task of being merely mortal.

The Beatles as recurring theme makes perfect sense to me; It's always been that way in my life, and I expect the trend to continue.

radio boise playlist for week of 03/26/07 - NOTE: APRIL 1st HAS BEEN CANCELLED THIS YEAR!!

2007-03-29T19:14:00.000-06:00

It's a good thing I happened to glance ahead on my calendar and just happened to notice there's no April 1st this year.

Nobody told me - - did you know this?!?
Something to do with rectifying the discrepancies that occur in our calendar over time. I guess it must also tie in somehow with next year being a DOUBLE leap year - - ? (Whatever that means. I'm still trying to figure out why the 21st century started in 2001 - - !)

Anyway. Long story short, I'm glad I noticed, so I could use this show for a traditional April 1st tribute:

'THE "IN" CROWD VERSUS PUPPET ON A STRING WITH A SIDE ORDER OF POPCORN'

So - - "What the @$#% was going on here, anyway?!" I hear you ask.

'Popcorn' was composed by electronic music pioneer/innovator Gershon Kingsley, and was perhaps the first significant piece of pop music to feature electronic instruments such as the Moog synthesizer. Why anyone would see fit to add lyrics to it remains a mystery, at least to me.

'The "In" Crowd' was composed around 1965 by Billy Page. It's been covered in a plethora of arrangements over the years, versions both instrumental (originally, The Ramsey Lewis Trio) and vocal (originally, Dobie Gray). I've been using it as a theme song for quite a while now. On the radio airwaves since 1993 when I adopted the name (as something of a joke) to be my on-air persona , and prior to that starting in 1985 in a series of mixtapes distributed amongst an 'inner crowd' of friends.

My personal history with 'Puppet On A String' goes back to poring over my Dad's LP collection when I was a kid. Paul Mauriat's 'Blooming Hits' LP was certainly a stand-out, not just for the saucy cover art (as a tyke I was convinced that the lady on the cover was Rita, my Dad's secretary), but for the catchy music.

Unbeknownst to me at the time, 'Puppet On A String' had gained it's notoriety as a prize-winner in 1967's Eurovision Song Contest, as performed by Sandie Shaw.

Growing up in the U.S., I had almost no exposure to the Eurovision phenomena, mostly hearing reference to it as something of a punchline in British humor, notably Monty Python. (If you are similarly afflicted, imagine if 'American Idol' was a global craze going back to the 1950's, celebrated most everywhere on the globe EXCEPT the U.S.)

Having swept the planet via Eurovision, the song was subsequently covered by dozens of artists in as many languages. Curiously, many of them adhered to something close to the original arrangement.

HUGE thanks are due to the amazing Eurocovers blog for doing such a fabulous and painstaking job in documenting this fascinating occurence!

Such is the way of labors of Love.

As always of course: Any questions, comments about the music, hellos, whatever - - please click on that 'email me' link. Thanks!

Reach for some music and see where it takes you.

Spring is here officially, but the feeling that it's arrived hasn't quite settled in. The weather is nicer and things are just starting to get green, and so the mood has moments of bouncy celebratory goofiness.

But it seems that Winter and it's heavy coat of blues can be hard to shake off all in one go, so the result seems to be a vague, bipolar essence of... what- -

- - Spirited melancholia, perhaps? A hesitant rebirth?

- - Ahh, skip it. Whatever it was, as usual some of it rubbed off onto the musical selections for this show. Hope you enjoyed.

My directive remains the same:

Once again I strayed from my usual meanderings to devote an entire show to a single theme.

Last week all the music I programmed was raucous and full of piss and vinegar. Pop music that went against the grain, something more unruly that the norm of the era in which it was produced.

The same was true of the show this week, perhaps the only significant difference being that the music selected was recorded between the years 1928 and 1932.
(Give or take a year or two in a few cases. And okay - - just for giggles, the last 3 tracks are contemporary, recorded by modern bands who've adopted a vintage style)

I suppose it's pretty tame by modern standards, but within the context of the period, if you take, say, Cab Calloway and his orchestra, or Duke Ellington's Jungle Band - - The performances are every bit as frenzied, intense, and innovative as your favorite notorious Garage/Punk/Alt/Psyche/Funk/Grunge combo was in theirs.

Hope you enjoyed it.

I'm so fortunate: My little show is the perfect place for me to indulge my musical whims.
(maybe you've noticed?)

I get into a variety of moods, wanting to share interesting sounds with all of you. Maybe turn you on to something new, something old you've not yet encountered, or something you didn't remember you remembered.

Sometimes I want to share lovely lilting melodies, or compelling instrumentation, music from different genres, eras, parts of the planet - - all strung together by some common theme or a stream of ideas.

- - And then sometimes I just feel the urge to quickly haul off and blow out a bunch of snot.

This was one of those shows, intended for high volume and plenty of attitude in your demeanor. Hope you enjoyed it!

Amongst the other bits and pieces that were floating around within this show, there was a slab of songs that conjured up the image of a bold and foxy woman, large and in charge, alluring and strong.

- - And so it seems only fitting to have dedicated this show to the lovely Pam Grier...

So much music, so little time.

So much fun letting one sound lead to another. Back and back, following influences and inspirations. Around and around, just playing for kicks.

Maybe it would be less 'schizophonic' to find a genre and just stick with it. But how to choose? Following my ears, I choose not to choose.

radio boise playlist for week of 02/05/07 - - Are you ready for Valentine's Day??

2007-02-08T19:16:00.000-07:00

It's easy enough to find songs about love.

It's also pretty simple to go out and find a Valentine's Day card.

A task that can prove to be just a bit trickier is trying to find that card or that song that might capture that particular facet you'd like to express of the myriad permutations of love - - IF it can even be identified...

Love is not always as simple as a card or a pop song.

It can be a complex and frightening rollercoaster ride.
A frustrating puzzle.
An elusive prize.
A necessary evil.
A lie. The truth. A joke.
A bump in the road, a reason for living.
And much more, or all of the above. Or something completely different.

Wheeee!
Enjoy the ride, and Happy Valentine's Day to you.

Love is out there.

Whether viewed as folklore's harbinger of Spring or as maligned garden pest, as a euphemism for a triflin' woman (?!?), as merely a handy lyrical device or just plain good eatin', the groundhog stands tall in American song.

What IS that song?

That sounds sorta like the that guy, what was his name... He did that thing. About that girl, or something. You know.

This song, and the one I can't remember - - together they kinda make me think of that band I saw once. And it all reminds me of that time all that stuff happened back before.

Funny how music can remind me of so many things. It's like one thing leads to another, and somehow it all relates. Or something.

Just wanted to let you know that I'm terribly tickled to announce that next week I'll be making a guest DJ appearance back at my old stamping grounds, KALX in Berkeley.

This upcoming Tuesday, 1/23, I'll be sitting in with my old pal Sex 14s during his show from 9am to Noon. (That's Pacific time) Looks like my portion of the timeslot will be from around 9 until 11.

Spinning tunes, gabbing and having fun. Sounds good to me.

If you're in the Bay Area and within broadcast range, KALX is found on the dial at 90.7 FM.

If you're near an internet connection anywhere else on the planet, KALX is found at - -

http://kalx.berkeley.edu/

There's a few different listening options to choose from on their home page.

I hope you'll listen in if you get the chance.

Big sloppy thanks to the lovely and talented Sex 14s for hosting me!

Something something choices flowing from one to the next, something stream of conciousness whatever.

Blah blah blah vintage new wave / punk (there's a concept, who knew?), doo-wop into merseybeat freakbeat eurobeat, etc etc, rock & roll was once fresh and conquered the world, rant rave whine declawed industrial commodity.

Sigh. But what fun to dig through the old tunes.

Another training session to familiarize myself with the different board. A little smoother this time - - Some questions answered, blanks filled. Made use of much needed repetition on critical maneuvers whilst pulling some tried & true music choices from the back pocket. (no new ground covered there)

I think a bit more training to go yet before I'm ready to flounder on my own on a regular basis. - - But getting closer!

Another New Year, and the same old eclectic and musty junk.

Hmm... Anything in this set from THIS century? No, not even. Does that tell us that 'Everything Old Is New'? Probably not. Maybe next time.

Looks like the focus in this week's show shifted and drifted from some kind of vintage Euro beat to Beatsploitation and bebop, found a link to Cowboy Bebop and Western Swing, and then morphed to Big Beat R&B & Rockabilly Roots, before sliding out the door with some Euro Pop of a different stripe.

All & all a howling good time.

Sit back, relax. Idle and cruise. The hard part's over.

If necessary, go through the motions of routine, secure in the knowledge that even on fumes you'll soon be gliding across the finish line and into the new year.

Full release, Happy Ending.

Maybe a couple of thises and thats still left to deal with, but gee, realistically it'll be - - oh, what... At least a few days before the grind really reasserts itself.

Exhale. Breathe. Repeat.

Here was another thick helping of Xmas cheer, jeer, and something else that rhymes. Blear, maybe...

2006-12-16T15:44:00.000-07:00

So - - Last Wednesday night I went in to the Radio Boise studio for some training on their sound board.

Just between you and me, the word on the street is that sometime in '07 the FCC might finally give the thumbs up for Radio Boise to hit the FM dial. In gearing up for that very exciting event, several of the DJs (including myself) are beginning to take the steps towards live broadcasting. Hopefully in the near future my current show will be supplanted by a live show that's oh-so much closer to the type of thing I've enjoyed constructing in the past.

My experience the other night was great fun; It's been - what? - ten months or so since my last show at KALX in Berkeley. Despite many clunky attempts at trying to understand the ins & outs of a set-up that's all new to me (or perhaps because of it) it was a great joy to once again be feeling the excitement and anxiety of live deejaying.

Hopefully it'll soon become a regular thing, and I'll start taking my shoes off and doing it right...

Maybe you love Christmas, maybe not.
Maybe you enjoy Christmas songs, maybe you don't.

Maybe you don't celebrate Christmas, in which case I don't envy you if you'd hope to avoid getting it rubbed in your face.

If you're like me, you don't necessarily have anything against X-Day, but the truth is, it's the lull FOLLOWING Christmas that you really look forward to every year.

Whatever camp you're in, here was a batch of far too many Xmas songs & stories for you to 'enjoy'.

And as long as we're talking about Xmas X-cess, come back next week for a whole different batch of too much Ecchsmas.

Ho, ho, ho,

Thanks for stopping by!

Looks like there may have been some rumination on the nature of Pop music going on here, but that may be over-stating the over-simplified.

Truth is, this set of tunes just kind of flowed out easily, finding it's own peaks and valleys along the way. I hope you enjoyed it.

When I assembled this particular hodge-podge of a show I thought I'd succumb even more fully to my whims than usual by including a lengthy piece by the great British singer/comedian Anna Russell.

Today, as I was putting finishing touches on this blog entry for the show I discovered that the incomparable Ms. Russell has just recently passed away at the age of 94 in Australia, where she'd been living since her retirement a mere three years ago.

Some folks could perhaps argue that as her best years of performing were well behind her, there's not much sense in crying now over her departure.
(I've weathered similar arguments regarding the deaths of other musicians, actors, etc, who hadn't contributed any new material in decades.)

Nevertheless, my feeling is that Anna Russell was one of the coolest treasures of the 20th century, and the world that now remains for the rest of us is just a little more diminished by her passing from this plane. Cheers, Anna.

Please investigate her work if you're unfamiliar. I hope you enjoyed the rest of this week's show as well.

Huh. What was going on here?

Okay, Let's see...

Several different takes on Cole Porter, and a buncha pieces praising the guitar.

A litle bit of acapella harmony and a small chunk of snot-flingin' '60's garage beat.

Whatever. Works for me.

How does the mind of a DJ work?

I've been putting together sets of music for many years now, and I don't have an answer.

Maybe it's too simple (or trivial) a process to require explanation.

On occasion (like this particular show) I'm at a loss to pinpoint the origins of the connections that lead from one piece of music to the next.

The concern that I'm beyond any reasonable understanding whether that flow of connections makes ANY LICK of sense to anyone besides me may be another matter entirely.

Do you 'get' it? Do you care if you don't?

- - Which is likely your cue: Drop me a line and say 'Like, WTF??' by clicking on that 'Email me' link over in that box to your right. Questions, suggestions, howdys, etceteras...

Bottom line: If you are one-tenth as entertained listening to my shows as I am concocting them, it's all worth it, regardless. I'm happy to let the mystery be.
Thanks for stopping by!

It can shake you up, frighten your parents, jar you from your routine, brighten your day, lift your spirits, expand your mind, and put a bump in your grind.

At first I felt a bit puzzled by the very definite mood that began to dominate the selections forming this show. Now I'll chalk it up to the changing season, the shift in the air. The quiet buzz behind a blissful drowse. Angled shafts of sepiatone afternoon sunlight poking through dark wooden shutters to catch sparkling dust motes drifting through a cozy peaceful room.
- - And stuff like that.

Though often I'm not certain where inspiration, choices, and connections originate, one look at this week's playlist and I'm certain I owe a big shout out and an enormous hug to my old pal Snappy The Alligator.

"...EEEW! What are you DOING? Why does it have to sound like that? Your stuff is like, all OVER the place.
Can't you just play normal music - - ? Stick to one kind of thing I can recognize and just play that over and over? HELLO? Can't you just play the same safe music that I hear everywhere else? Some of these songs are kind of okay I guess, but a bunch them are way old or something. Like, by people who aren't even alive anymore. And not even American. That's weird. Why bother?
WHY CAN"T YOU JUST BE LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE??"

- - At this point I wouldn't know how, even if I were interested. I'm not trying to cop a cool, outsider-rebel attitude by saying that, I'm just here hoping to entertain and enlighten you as I entertain myself. Hope you've been finding something to enjoy in the music I program.

And remember:

This was a fun show to assemble. Almost all of the music came from a brick of CDs trundled home in a carry-on bag from a whirlwind out-of-town weekend. Big thanks for all the fodder to Shelley and Shelley's Dad and 2 locations of the single-celled place of evil.

Sometimes, thankfully, a pissy mood can be hard to maintain. Songs about contention, fear, righteous indignation and pain give way to a jazzy, funky, soulful desire to shake it down to the ground.

Hey, I can't tell me what to do...

Another twisty-turvy assortment of tunes.

Some swamp-rootsy twang sprinkled liberally throughout, lots of cover tunes (no suprise, that) including a meandering diversion in the general vicinity of The Doors.

A couple of bands from Texas and a couple of bay area groups. Alt-klezmer from Orange County and everyone's favorite punk-zydeco band from Switzerland.

Oh, and Red Buttons has left us, so one of his tunes from the '50's.
