Thanks for searching out my page and I'm happy enough to supply the source of John Peel's Top Gear "Signature Tune" here's the blog that got to it first and even included a download of the full album.

Did you know I get first page ranking on Google for the search terms Tuba Vocal Podcast?

Double Bonus! I also got first page for the same term in the image directory.
It's like winning Noble prize of weird. Do I really have that many tuba songs with vocals? Have I - somehow mistakenly - cornered the market on an over looked subgenre of tuba backed tracks?

Also a shout out to France, the UK and South Korea! I've never been to any of those places but they seem real nice. Thanks for the support guys.

Yes I did call Greenpoint Brooklyn a post-industrial wasteland. And don't think that it isn't. The Toxic Brooklyn series from VBS.tv did an episode on Greenpoint and the Newton canal.

Foul stuff. I Wonder why more folk here aren't Enviro's. Maybe they don't know how bad it can get. It's one thing to have pristine wilderness and another to be a Superfund site. There is a lot of gray area in between.

Me, I'm writing my congresswoman.

Take a minute to mail your representative to stop the royalty rate increase on internet radio services. Expecting the stations to pay rates even more than comparable broadcasting methods is grossly unfair.

Thanks for your time and help on this matter.

It might be a ways off from today, but if I don't post it here I doubt I'll recall  it otherwise:

For those who missed the first Now, Listen - or are unfamiliar with the artists involved, my deepest sympathies. To remedy the situation of this potential obscurity I'll put up a track from the album in the next podcast.

And for those who can't wait that long to feel the cold icy chill of solid steel ignite their blue suede dancing shoes; have you heard of the alternative:

FIXED Presents- Radio Soulwax Tour

@ Studio B- Brooklyn

A wednesday night riot - but you better call the boss this midweek rocker starts late and goes till 4 in the morning. Upside? $12 tickets at the door. Hope to see you there.

So I really really enjoyed putting together the sounds for week 10 podcast, and in reflection - I really enjoyed putting together the sounds for the week 9 podcast. Which isn't to say that the Months aren't fun to make - digging through the dust for the sacramental sound is an unrivaled joy. But there is the old and the new, different but equal.

I originally started this podcast because I was already putting together mix tape selections of the golden eras of rock n roll, soul, mo-town, funk, jazz and swing. And this is something I'm still dedicated to. But I also want to do another collection that showcases the diverse sounds of everything I like.

So I've settled on a schedule that will allow me the freedom for both. A weekly (or bi-weekly) show that hosts the music that I and my newest collaborators find that excites our souls. And then the more rareified form of the monthlies that will feature the exclusive groove that comes from the golden oldies crates. It is a win win for everyone and a solid split right down the middle.

A nice day to post my first podcast. Sure earlier this week would have been better - I think it was Tuesday. Tuesday would have been better.

But today I'm posting my back catalog - this is from the month of January and is mainly focused on rock n' roll in the 50' to 70's. A little background as to why may help understand the purpose of this focus.

I grew up in house of rock n roll - anytime there was work to be done the tunes to toil to would be motown and pre-Beatles tracks. Some how my mom's sense of aesthetic  made it through two decades of musical upheaval with only the addition of Janis Joplin to show the passage. Rooted in the primordial four four time, call and response, and songs about high school love my understanding of music was a bit different than those of my classmates. Their parents listened to prog-rock and late seventies rock anthems. They knew power chords - I knew that a girl named Sue ran around with every single guy in town.

Growing up in house of re-issued compilations I must have heard the same limited catalog of the greatest hits of every year. Many were spectacular but the fact that the same songs would crop up on every album left a massive yearning for something more diverse.

So a while ago I started seeking out the rarities that my mom would like so that a bit of extra music could be added in to the house sounds. This of course developed into an idea for a monthly mix tape which I could send her to lift the mood and keep a connection between us. So I proudly present the Months, a collection of good music that I think most people, not just my mom, ought to hear.

Explanations out of the way please enjoy Month01
