Playlists for 9/3/10 and 9/10/10: Workin' For My Baby

Doubling up on the playlists after finally getting some time to put them together. Corri and I took a trip to Minneapolis last weekend to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary, which I honored with this week's opening theme. The trip to the Twin Cities and the candylands that are The Electric Fetus and Cheapo Discs netted me some nice used LP finds, some of which I played this week and some of which I wish I allowed to play on the air. Lots of new music this week from Norton Records and the brand new single from the Oblivians. I honored the working man and gal with my opening set last week.

Playlist for 7/16/2010: Giving in to the Wild Side of Life

Above photos courtesy of Julie Workman.

What a show. What a weekend. Jack "Oblivian" Yarber and John Paul Keith were kind enough to stop by the station before their gig Friday night at the Bayview Brewhaus. Both talk about touring, recording plans and more. A dynamite show was delivered that night from John Paul during his set with the One Four Fives and Jack O. & the Tennessee Tearjerkers later on. The show's other guest, Brian from Big Rock Candy Mountain, filled in listeners about his must-read blog, revealed some of his 2010 faves, and spun the latest Goner 7" from King Lee and Quintron. Had a blast hanging out with Brian (far left in group photo) and Good John (pictured above with his rare beer-in-hand look) over the weekend - even though they went to a warehouse filled with vinyl goodness without me and returned with this gift for me. Revenge will be had, gents.

Playlist for 4/30/2010: Get Hip

Pittsburgh's legendary Get Hip Records got the I Love My Label treatment on the show Friday. It was incredibly fun to spin nearly three hours of the label's deep offerings of garage, punk, pop, surf and more. Barbara Garcia-Bernardo, Vice President of Get Hip and wife of founder Gregg Kostelich of The Cynics, was even nice enough to do a Q&A with me, which you can find on WMSE's Sonic Diet blog. The prolific (and incredibly nice) Jack Rice, bassist for the Blow Pops, also stopped by to talk about his band's time on Get Hip, being huge in Finland and the pitfalls of drinking with Paul Collins.

Playlist for 4/16/10: The Worst Show Ever Broadcast

With The Runaways in the the theaters, it seemed necessary to start with a tribute to the dirty old man who helped put them together, one Kim Fowley. Norton recently issued two outstanding and often wacky volumes of his 1959-1969 production work that are well worth your hard-earned dough.In mere minutes, I'm leaving to see the movie with my lovely wife. New music this week from Mark Sultan, the Baseball Project and Hipbone Slim & the Knee-Tremblers. Had a hell of a time at Record Store Day, both spinning tunes with Good John at the Exclusive Co. and purchasing music that will make its way on the airwaves soon enough.

Playlist for 4/2/10: The Doc is In

The 2010 MLB season begins Sunday night, so I was required by law to begin the show with a baseball theme. I gave a tip of the hat (with an excellent instrumental courtesy of Philly's - by way of D.C. - late, great Delta 72 ) to Roy Halladay, my Phils' celebrated offseason acquisition to kick things off. It was pretty quiet around the WMSE studios with the business office closed for Good Friday, but I managed to scare a listener into thinking a Dead Milkmen member had died by playing a set of their songs. Sorry, no Milkmen murdered or otherwise done in – DM guitarist/vocalist/founder Joe Jack Talcum is coming to Milwaukee on April 7 to play with the Goodnight Loving at the Bay View Brewhaus.
