Winter settles into New England. It’s 2 degrees Farenheit as I type this, with my dog persuading me to take her out for her long weekend walk. She is a Siberian Husky, and although she’s 12 and has a torn ACL that has healed, she is immune to the cold – she wants her long…

We’ve made it to 2015 – welcome. It’s a brand new year and what a better way to welcome it than with a whole new year of podcasts? I can’t think of a better way to celebrate. On today’s show we start with the perfect pop of the Hollies and Badfinger, then on to Hall…

For this New Year’s Day I thought I’d do a special podcast that focuses on midnight songs. I thought about adding “Midnight Man” by Nick Cave into a regular podcast, but after looking at other Midnight songs I thought it would be perfect to do a whole podcast on these songs, and that New Year’s…

The post-Christmas podcast – hope everyone had a good Christmas – we had family over to our house this year. It all went well, but we’ve got tons of leftovers that we’ll be eating until well into 2015. We let it all hang out in this week’s podcast with the Hombres to kick things off.…

Hello and welcome to another edition of the PB Podcast. Today would have been my father’s 95th birthday. Happy birthday, Dad. On today’s podcast we start out with a band from Boston, then to Los Angeles, Liverpool and Cincinnati. From there we head to London, Texas, Texas again and Indianola, Mississippi. The 3rd set is…

Hello boys and girls, When I was younger I used to put together mix tapes (quel surprise!), and of course I used to put together Christmas mix tapes for the holidays. I’ve done 2 or 3 of these and thought about doing one for this Christmas. I put together the first set but then deleted…

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the PB Podcast. Let’s stay away from the horrible news this week and escape into some great music. On today’s show, we start with Lyle Lovett and Father John Misty before going into some TV themes (far different from “Gilligan’s Island”). From there it’s new Bryan Ferry,…

Around these parts it’s actually Larry Bird’s birthday, but Happy Pearl Harbor Day. I’m currently reading Perfidia by James Ellroy, which takes place during that month in 1941. On today’s podcast we’ll end with the world (it’s going up in flames), but before that are sets of great music that includes Dr. John, Sharon Jones,…

Hello and welcome to another special edition of the PB Podcast. Today we explore what I’ll call “the other music”, music I listen to that usually does not appear on the regular podcast. This is music that my wife yells at me for playing, so I’ve pretty much eliminated it from the podcast (although not…

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving day holiday – or last few days if you don’t celebrate. Time for a new edition of the PB Podcast. We get right into some great music with Jackie Wilson and LaVerne Baker, followed up by Raphael Saadiq, Quantic with Alice Russell and Betty LaVette. We trip from…
