And boy, was it hot and humid there. Annual conference time, and I was in Savannah for most of the week. High 80’s (both temperature and humidity). I like the cold of the Northeast. Glad to be back. Today’s podcast starts with a 2014 release by Robyn Hitchcock, jumps back to a tune by Nazz,…

Solar Flare activity was supposed to result in an Aurora Borealis that could be seen all over. Saturday night was cloudy, but Friday was clear, and I did not see it then. The last time I saw it really well was back in 1978. When I was much younger I’d see it more often (I…

Hello and welcome to the newest edition of the PB Podcast. Although our summer, overall, was nice, early September has been hot. There was a break last night that will hopefully continue, improving our September. The podcast this week is typically all over the place. We start with solo Frank Black, then we move to…

I never had a problem with going back to school – it was a place that I could see my friends on a regular basis. Living in the country I was cut off from many of my friends in the summer – parents weren’t interested in dropping us off at a friend’s house (none of…

Hello and welcome to another edition of the PB Podcast. On today’s show we travel back to the late 1940’s and also feature songs from 2011 and years in-between. Garland Jeffreys talks about John Lee Hooker, so naturally we have to hear John Lee, then follow up with Dr. John. We’ll also have some jazz…

Hello and welcome to this week’s podcast. Lots of favorite songs in this ‘cast. I packed this with some of my all-time favorites, starting with Go-Betweens and Beth Orton. Lots of Brian Eno – a song, and then the bed in-between sets. Includes a few long-forgotten (but not by me) great tunes by Winter Hours,…

Hello and welcome to the latest PB Podcast. I recently finished A Man Called Destruction: The Life and Music of Alex Chilton, from Big Star to Backdoor Man, so that inspired one of today’s sets. We explore Chubby Checker’s mind and also check in with Tackhead, NRBQ, Brian Ferry and others. Enjoy. Download here

Hello and welcome to this special edition of the PB Podcast. Today’s podcast looks at the first 6 months of the year as I play some of my favorite releases from 2014. I’ve read and listened to other 1/2 year wrap-ups, and while I occasionally see one of the releases that I love, I haven’t…
