Playlist for 9-23-11: Here He Was, The Man That Time Forgot










John Paul Keith returned to Zero Hour this week to play a few songs and talk about The Man That Time Forgot, which is duking it out with one or two other albums for my favorite of the year. Brian from Big Rock Candy Mountain wrote eloquently about the great album’s many pleasures. I started with a high school theme in honor of my 20th (really?!!) high school reunion, which took place this weekend in Suffolk, Va., without me.

Playlist for 8/26/11: He Was Rock-n-Roll















One of those wild-and-crazy-beginning-of-the-semester meetings made me late for the show, but fortunately Good John was there to blast away with a bunch of his nutty 45’s (thanks, sir, that makes up for skipping out on Andre Williams!). New releases this week from Bobby Marchan, the Bloody Hollies and Henry’s Funeral Shoe and a tribute to Jerry Leiber, who passed away Aug. 22, leaving behind co-authorship of the rock-n-roll bible. Look for Josh Alan Friedman's excellent Tell the Truth Until They Bleed for essential reading on the great songwriter.

Playlist for 8/19/11: Pulling Time With Andre Williams











Other than a few technical difficulties to begin the interview (and a little this-is-really-cool stuttering on my part), talking to Andre Williams was as amazing and fun as I expected! His show at the Cactus Club last night delivered as well. I guess the next time I’ll see Mr. Rhythm is as one of the co-MC’s at this little get-together in Brooklyn in November! Andre wouldn't spill beans on his wardrobe plans for the big event. Last night’s opener Jon Burks also stopped by to play a few songs, and I featured Jack Oblivian’s crazy great new album on Big Legal Mess, Rat City.

Subscribe to Zero Hour!

I just noticed on the WMSE site that you are able to subscribe to our shows, including Zero Hour, in iTunes. I think this is new, and the station calls it "highly, highly experimental." It's worth checking out. Here are the directions:
"You will need to input the RSS address manually. In iTunes, this is done in the 'Advanced' menu and select 'Subscribe to Podcast'. In the resulting window, paste the following URL:
http://wmse.org/archive/rss.php?dow=Fri&hour=120
Good luck. We hope to make this 'official' functionality soon."

Let me know how it works!
