KCRW Broadcast 5

Fanatics! Here we are again getting the weekend started right. When it was clear that there was no other choice but to start with this particular Led Zeppelin track, I recall my coffee shooting through both nostrils and visions of that woman who called weeks ago who asked what she had done to KCRW to deserve our show. Lady, this track is for you! When you saw Zeppelin play, what song did they open with? When I saw them, it was Kashmir. I don’t know why James Brown keeps popping up so often on our show but for the last few weeks, he’s been a constant, same thing with the Minutemen, things could be worse. The Minutemen track we’re playing tonight, Split Red, there are two versions. I prefer the one we’re listening to tonight because D Boon’s guitar sound is just amazing and the intensity at which he’s playing is just fantastic. I don’t know how many of you ever got to see them play, what a band. I was very lucky to tour with them and saw them play many times on the road in Los Angeles and I can’t recall a bad show. The Discharge-Babs Gonzales-High On Fire get together is bringing me great joy whenever I listen down to this set, I hope you like it. As I often do, the other night, I went to the Teenbeat website to see if there was anything new. http://www.teenbeatrecords.com. I was overjoyed to see a collection of Flin Flon outtakes and alts from their last album Dixie called Et Cetera, available for download only. That was the night I made my first i-Tunes purchase. I am so happy to hear new Flin Flon! I have listened to the album about four times now so I had to bring in a track so we could check it out tonight. Pepi Ginsberg sent me her new album, East Is East. I have played some of it and like it. She told me to stand by and wait for the go-ahead to play some. Also, I was sent the new Vieux Toure album called Fondo and want to play some but have been instructed to wait until May so of course I will hold off. I played it last night. It’s some of the material I saw him perform in Mali back in January.
