Live Show From Saturday Night

2011-04-25T08:50:00.004-04:00

I've been doing more of the live netcast on WURN.net than pre-recorded editions of "Radio Speakeasy". It's sort of the best of both worlds in that I get the immediacy of doing a live show, while making the show available for those who missed the live netcast. This past Saturday was just under 4 hours of music. It's divided into 2 parts that you can either stream, or download for listening when you are off-line. Interested? Just wander over to The Wormtown Underground Radio Network to check it out.

Radio Speakeasy is a program on the Wormtown Underground Radio Network or WURN. That site previously could be found at wurn.org, however the owner of that site made a decision to without warning erase all files from the server. We will be back though, except it will be at http://wurn.net. We currently are redesigning the site to be a bit more easy on your eyes and browser and hope to have everything up and running at our new home at http://wurn.net within the next few weeks. Stay Tuned.

2010-06-30T15:51:00.001-04:00

Until further notice all of the links to the shows are disabled due to problems with the operator wurn.org.

WBCN RIP

2009-07-14T19:57:00.005-04:00

Where's your guts
And will to survive
And don't you wanna
Keep rock n' roll music alive
Mr. Programmer
I got my hammer
and I'm gonna
Smash my
Smash my
Radio

It was announced today that Boston's fabled radio station WBCN is having it's plug pulled. Although I have not listened to the station for many years and felt that they started to slip sometime in 1980s culminating with becoming utterly unlistenable in recent years I still feel a bit sad about the announcement. I guess I held out some sort of unrealistic hope that the station would cast off it's corporate, focus group driven programming and somehow provide decent music once again. Unfortunately commercial radio and to some extent so called "public radio" are both victims of "milk toast syndrome" of boring predictable programming.
Anyhow I have one glimmering bit of the goodness from WBCN's past, and surprisingly it's not from the 80s. It's one 5 hour chunk of programming from July of 1997 when Joey Ramone guest hosted "Nocturnal Emissions". The Ramones had done their last show less than one year before. Joey had already been diagnosed with Lymphoma which would take his life less than 4 years later. It's a beautiful 5 hour stretch of programming with Joey clearly picking his own music (with some help). It's not slick or "professional" but it certainly is "rock and roll" in the best sense.
I'll only have this up for a limited time (or less if I my web host bitches), but here in 5 parts is most of that evening's programming with Joey Ramone. Enjoy...

Radio Speakeasy, hard to believe but another one is posted

2009-05-25T18:09:00.003-04:00

Spent Memorial Day Afternoon drinking Beck's dunkel and putting together about 120 minutes of action packed rock and roll for you. For your perusal we have New York Dolls, Belmondos, Numbskulls, Time Beings, and even a German version of The Last Time that threatens at points to turn into a polka. Enjoy.

Okay boys and girls another hour plus of schizophrenic musical ramblings. We've got it all with trax from Hank Williams III (AKA Hank 3), to The Hollies, Heartbreakers, Etta James, Johnny Cash and even Abba plus as they say (or at least used to) on TeeVee "many many more".

Pre-Halloween, hopefully not last show of year!

2008-10-19T16:16:00.006-04:00

Hey it's been a while. Crap has been going on, and somehow I've lacked motivation. Anyhow figured it's time now or it won't happen for a while due to medical science deciding they want to cut my throat. Hopefully it won't be that severe but it motivated me to put this show together. A bit of Halloween, and a bunch of DMZ in honor of their reunion show that is happening October 23rd in Boston.
