------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ --- So finally here is my official best of music list for 2009 and it's the oldsters who have kicked ass across the board. Even though we kick-off the set with The XX there were two other newish groups that made it on the radar; first being a band from Mass called The Young Leaves and another Fungi Girls which features a bunch of 16-18 olds from Texas. Comeback/reunion shows in our top list events of 2009 are The Jesus Lizard. The other was Prosolar Mechanics who played their first show in almost 8 [...]
Don't have a lot of time but in this here set i mixed some new music with a bunch of new brunswick bands like Butthead(aka Buzzkil on Alternative Tentacles) from their Heat Blast 7" i play the first whole side, The Young Leaves, Groucho Marxists, Fungi Girls, Nude Swirl, Screaming Females, Laminated Cat, Bubble/Gum, We Were Promised Jet Packs, The Smiths, Boss Jim Gettys. Full of Fancy, Bionic Rhoda doing their cover of "She blinded me with Science" and The Stuntcock's classic "punk rock guy". So just listen and rock out.
------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ -------- How do we remember time? We celebrate it with the new and the old hoping that we can learn something from everything that has come before us. They call this history. Weather the past is old enough to teach us is always a concern. We tend to villanize a lot of things that later will be revered mostly because we're scared. Almost everything. We can say that Bush II ain't no hero but MJ is going to be bigger than Elvis, Bob Marley and the Beatles combined. He was world wide to the tiniest of huts. Some icons like [...]
The start of summer has officially started for all the working stiffs. This show is packed with so much new stuff we barely had time to fit it in everything we wanted to spin. Which is a good problem to have these days. So much great new music out there. As per our usual though we've mixed in the old with the new and this time we even gave you some metal or at least our version of it. First set starts with Bedlam doing lost in space theme, Making Time by The Creation, American [...]

Winter is freezing us all out. DJ Spork was hard at work thinking of some rock just for you in this latest podcast so get some Holiday Cheer ! This show is like all the others although we do terrorize you with some Christmas music which will be out of date in a few days so we hope you don't notice. Includes some nostalgia from New Jersey Bands like Animation, Buzzkill, Eastern Anchors (this is actually a debut) and Transilvia. Plus some new stuff from Young Widows, No Age, Trail of Dead and then we throw in some [...]
Summer is gone and we're in the twilight of a terrible situation. In this show we feature Holier Than Seattle compilation on Heat Blast Records but kick-off the set with a RAC Remix of "Be Good" by Tokyo Police Club, "Second Hand-Smoke by the Moist Boyz 7", a DJ Shadow instrumental hip-hop mix. I am not sure exactly when the Heat Blast compilation came out exactly but I think it was early 91 or so. The A side has Freak Theatre featuring Tommy Southern on guitar followed with 'Give an Inch' then 'Save' by Glueneck. The B side has Big [...]

Show no. 20 - With the advent of original television programming going down the tubes, this is a perfect time to rediscover albums and music. This shows theme centers around Politi; the only original thing on TV besides sports. We unearth a lot great old wax and ask the question how come new American music doesn't have any artists with a social edge or theme? (*with some exceptions) Featuring: The music of The Stranglers , Gang of Four , The Replacements * doing "kids don't follow", Dead Kennedy's*, Radio 4 * with "Election [...]

This show features the Review Stalker wrap-up with some of this yearâs best releases and downloads for 2007! Kicking off the set with NegativeLandâs âYou canât Always Get What You Wantâ and cues into Meddle by Pink Floyd, the intro is the Sporkian lazymanâs mash-up for no other reason what so ever of course. Chasing down some of these release is never ever a direct path, they just are jsut good, and I must say that one of those albums that grew on me this year was Challenger by The New Pornographers, not [...]

N.J. is flooding, people are being evacuated from Trailerparks inWoodbridge, and us, in-between some shop-vac action, were able to get down to business in the Grandview studios basement and record this podcast. I truly noticed the water at first from a little shock while touching turntable number one. (Note to self: wear rubber sole shoes next time it's raining hard) That said, this set is dedicated to all the dead people from VA Tech. Up first by the Buthole Surfers, "Hurdy Gurdy Man" off of a 7", backed by Apostle of Hustle with [...]

On this show we spin tunes that sound like hits or are hits in our opinion. We are also celebrating the WFMU marathon : when you listen you'll catch a bunch of sound bites we swiped off their site and added to our already lo-fi production values... Plus as not to forget about St. Pattys we're playing a few Irish bands. As usual we're packing in the entertainment value for you. The set kicks it off with "Bunny ain't no kind of rider" off Of Montreal's new one, followed by "Brenda" by the Jon Spencer Blues [...]
