Saturday Morning Returns January10, 2009

The hiatus from doing the show must continue another two Saturdays. For those who care, my apologies. I intend to be back on the air in two weeks. Thanks for your patience.

i lied, but not on purpose

i intended to attend my show tomorrow. silly me to ignore the warnings. now there is nearly 10 inches of snow in my drive. mother nature is saying one more week at home. unless it is completely clear in the morning, there will be no show tomorrow. i will think good thoughts for next week.

i'm dreaming of a white.....

back this sat

plan is to return to the airwaves this saturday morning. major possible obstacle: weather. now, who to feature? there's a couple possibilities. you might have to tune in to find out.

until saturday morning then.

me time

Maybe I'm experiencing a little post-obamamania, but decided to stay home this morning. The plate seems to be spilling over more than ever and before contracting some miserable drippy, whiny, hacking, feverish, spewing, sweating, cramping, crying-for-my-mother illness I'm sitting home writing this. Oh, and sleeping. Well, I was. And will again. Sleep that is. And, resting. And, working. Always with the working. And...

...being thankful for everyone and everything I have in my life. I'm one fortunate fella. So, it's not really me time. It's more like taking stock time, or counting blessings time, or I woke up and am still alive time, how wonderful.

So, to anyone who cares, Saturday Morning will be on break today and the next two Saturdays. Saturday mornings will come and go, but just without Saturday Morning.

In Memory of Ed Softky

I was going to write to say I am out of town and won't be doing the show this week. And, that's true. But I just found out that my friend Ed Softky was killed yesterday morning on High Street in Brattleboro. Ed was one of the sweetest, kindest, and most genuine human beings I've ever met. His death teaches us that life is temporary and we never know when the end will come. Knowing Ed, he is right now praying and so happy to die like this if it will benefit other sentient beings.

I am sad, or, maybe, more sorry he is dead. Ed made this world a better place. He was the kind of human being the world needs. We need more people like Ed, not less. So, while his death offers lessons for us all, our world is worse for his loss.

Sigur Ros

Sigur Ros is featured this week on the program. Sigur Ros's fifth album, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (in English, With A Buzz In Our Ears We Play Endlessly), is an upbeat departure from their previous releases. It is, in fact, playful. Reportedly, the band, know to be quite exacting in their music making, tried to be looser in the writing and production of this album. No less beautiful and simply a pleasure to listen to, this may be one of their best works. Hope you can join me be as we explore the newest from Sigur Ros.

The Pinker Tones and so much more....

On tomorrow’s show – yes, there will be a show – The Pinker Tones will be the featured artist.  They are releasing a new album, Wild Animals, on Tuesday next week and we have a preview.  We’ll be listening to tracks from the new album along with some from The Million Colour Revolution from last year.  And, of course, I’ll have loads of new music from other artists.  Hope you will join me tomorrow from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. for Saturday Morning on WVEW-LP FM 107.7/WVEW.org in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Again, no show...

Good morning,

Well, my 13 year old daughter finally did something very…well…13.  She just woke up and told me she needs to go to the band rehearsal that she decided not to go to, and that it’s at 9, not 9:30, as she originally thought, and will that be okay.  So, being dad and super dj bslammin are not compatible roles today. I share all this with you just in case you were planning to tune in.  I know this is two weeks in a row and you are all jonesing for some fresh tunes, but I promise (as much as I have control over anything) that I will be on next week.  In the mean time there is always Scott Simon on NPR, a reasonable alternative.

 

Amy Tan On Creativity

I thought this needed to be shared.

No Show Saturday

Good morning Campers.

 

No show this morning.  I plan to return next week.  Just got a new Pinker Tones album in, which sounds great.  I do believe they will be next week’s feature artist.  No disappointment here from their sophomore effort.  Hope the weekend and week ahead are great.  Be well and see you next week.

Remember Me

Some things must be shared.

Former Concord Monitor (NH) photojournalist Preston Gannaway won a Pulitzer Prize for her photos in a series of articles which “chronicle the death of Carolynne St. Pierre, a Concord NH woman who wanted to leave her children with a record of her final months.” Ms. St. Pierre was a nurse who left behind her husband and three children as well as many other loved ones. The online version is this amazing, beautiful photo-audio slide show called “Remember Me.”

This powerful multimedia documentary is uplifting and heartbreaking. The story and story-telling are life changing.

It's A Dance Party This Satuday Morning

The Foals new album Antidote will be the feature artist/album this Saturday Morning. The Foals have a dance/pop quality to go along with their alt-rockness. From their Wikipedia entry:

"Foals are an indie rock band from Oxford, England. The band are signed with Transgressive Records in Europe and Sub Pop in the USA. A full length album—entitled Antidotes—was released on 24 March 2008 in the UK, and will be released in the USA on 8 April. It was originally to have been produced by Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio^[1] but the band discarded Sitek's final mix and remixed the entire record themselves because Sitek's heavy use of reverb had given their recording a "spacey" sound that they disliked."

I've been listening through the album all week and am liking what I'm hearing. These guys have been around since 2005 and this looks to be their debut album. I love the debuts, especially when they are good. This one is good. Please do plan to join me as we explore the Foals' Antidote on Saturday Morning.

Tomorrow's Show

WVEW is launching it's first on-air fund raiser this week. We will be pitching for pennies (or more) on Saturday Morning. But, we will also be playing that good old brand new music like we do each week. Maybe just a little less. Of course, the more people pitch in, the more music we will play, because we'll be too busy answering the phones.

I'm planning a mix of tunes with some emphasis on Thao and The Get Down Stay Down. Hope to see you all there.

this is me on nhpr

I've done a couple more music reviews for Word of Mouth on New Hampshire Public Radio. I'm crap, but the music we review is great stuff, and so is the host, Virginia Prescott. So, definitely worth a listen for leads on some good new music.

We talk about Meiko here and we did a round up of three groups (Born Ruffians, The Mountain Goats, and Thao and the Get Down Stay Down) on Monday here. The round up may air tomorrow at 2 pm on NHPR.

More radio fun.

By the way, I think Thao will be this week's feature artist on the big Saturday Morning radio show. Hope to see you then.

Hope to see you then.

no show too much snow feeling low

sorry campers, but no show this morning. the snow isn't really the issue. i grew up in buffalo, ny, so snow doesn't scare me. but, i am feeling under the weather physically, so am opting to stay home. more new music in one week. hope to see you then.

Jesca Hoop Review on NHPR

Hi Kids. New Hampshire Public Radio is in the process of putting together a cool new show called Word Of Mouth.

Here's the description from their website:

"Word of Mouth is all about what's new. It's both a radio show and a blog, and together they take the latest ideas and trends from every aspect of our culture and put them under a microscope. WoM covers everything from healthcare and the environment, to technology and the internet, to books, movies, music and TV."

Right now it is alive via a blog site which you can check out here.

Last week they invited me to chat with the host Virginia Prescott about the new Jesca Hoop CD, Kismet. You can listen to the review here. It was cool fun, and I am hoping to do it again. Virginia is great, and I think it's going to be a great show. It will be live weekdays at 2 p.m.

As always, thanks for checking in. See you Saturday.

Radiohead's "In Rainbows" This Week

This week we feature the newest from Radiohead - In Rainbows - on Saturday Morning. When the band decided to offer this album as a download from their web site in the fall of 2007, and allow fans to name their price for the CD, it took the record and music industry by surprise...and by storm. Along with some of their fellow musicians, Radiohead is participating in - and leading - a not so quiet revolution in the music world.

In Rainbows is filled with the kind of invention and experimentation Radiohead fans have come to expect and long for. Innovation is the name of the game, and In Rainbows doesnt' disappoint.

The record's official commercial release date was just a couple of weeks ago, and now, finally, it time for us to check it out. We'll play through the entire album over the course of the show. As usual, we'll mix in new releases from a range of emerging and established artists. Please join me...Saturday Morning.
