What is this show? Maybe better to ask what it isn’t… Starts off consistent with soul funk boogie during the first hour, but in the second hour starts to mutate through beat tracks, 60s Mod, balearic, then ambient to take you on a full trip whose concept was solidified from the first track of hour one. I would direct you to be sure to hear the D-Day and Al Tone tracks. Having listened to this finished show twice, if you want to hear how good an ambient track can be, play the Jonny Nash, Suzanne Kraft track!

LP tracks show of what I am calling fuzzy/fringe. That is, what stated as a punk show, upon closer examination, became a melange of bands slightly outside the typical boundaries of that sound. They had a fuzzy connection to punk, and were all fringe members of the punk community. So there you go, fuzzy/fringe. Many tracks I loved so much listening to over and over as I prepared this. I will especially draw attention to Eddie Criss Group, with their track that reminded me of ‘The In Crowd’ as interpreted by Bryan Ferry, SF’s House Of Pants, Richmond VA’s Prevaricators from their critically despised second LP, and to cover star Bill Case, who proves that you don’t have to look effeminate to be glam!

LP tracks show of a rock sub-genre I am calling ‘coasting’ – that is, tracks where the artist lets space permeate the track a little more than usual, giving them a smooth groove feel. One of the things I learned this show was that many of the tracks that follow this model end in a fade out. I think there are many great tracks you will want to hear, though I will especially call out the Ray Alexander Technique track in the second hour. Looking through the cuts, I have to say there is nothing here I would NOT steer you to if you were sitting in the room with me.
