KCRW Broadcast 6

Hand-Picked Music Post-punk / New Wave Experimental

Apr 12, 2009

Fanatics! We are not with you live tonight. As you know, KCRW is having their RadioActive event tonight and since we have to be there for a group photo at 2000 hours I have to pre-tape my radio show in order to be there. I was going to lay on you an amazing Post Punk show tonight. I have been working weeks on this one and it’s one of the best shows ever. There’s no way I’m going to burn that one on a pre-tape. One of the best things about being on the radio is that you get to listen to the music. Pre-tapes are no fun at all. There’s no music involved, you do the stuff in between and that’s it. It’s like going to a restaurant, ordering the meal and then leaving. Lame. So, I put together a killer play list of great bands doing great songs of other great bands, that is to say, a night of covers. I have listened to this one twice now and think it’s solid and that you will dig it. We will wait for the Post Punk show for when I get back from Coachella in a couple of weeks. I can’t tell you how much it pains me to not be with you live tonight but I can’t so I hope you dig what we have put together tonight. It really is a blast, this set. I just wish I could be with you listening to it. I have always thought that hearing a band do someone else’s music that it was a great way to learn about the band and how innovative they are. Every track on tonight’s show is fantastic and I hope you have fun digging it. Until next week, STAY FANATIC!!! --Henry
