Monday

Surface Noise with Joe McGasko presents COWPUNK DELUXE Vol. 2 – The UK: ’80s cowpunk, Brit-style. Back in 2013, Surface Noise enshrined the mid-’80s musical movement known as “cowpunk” in a compilation called Cowpunk Deluxe, which surveyed some of the American artists most associated with the style. It turns out, however, that cowpunk was not only an American phenomenon. This second volume of Cowpunk Deluxe focuses on the many UK artists who combined country music with punk energy  – in other words, cowpunk with a British accent. (Missed the first volume 10 years ago? No worries: This 2 CD set contains both!)

Observations of Deviance with David Mittleman presents John Gilmore (Sun Ra Arkestra) and Friends: Legendary tenor sax giant John Gilmore is mostly known for his long association with the Sun Ra Arkestra. Gilmore’s undying devotion to Sun Ra unfortunately overshadows his own accomplishments. Less known is Gilmore’s work outside the Arkestra. While he never released any albums solely under his own name, Gilmore recorded and played with some of the biggest names in Jazz: Art Blakey, McCoy Tyner, Clifford Jordan, Paul Bley and others. To celebrate Gilmore’s towering presence, Observations of Deviance (hosted by David Mittleman) has compiled a selection of key non-Sun Ra tracks that feature Gilmore from original vintage vinyl, unreleased live Gilmore solos with Sun Ra, exclusive Gilmore solo edits prepared by host David Mittleman and rare interview excerpts from Gilmore. Also included are exclusive interview excerpts with musicians who played with John Gilmore (e.g. Charles Tolliver, William Parker) conducted by host David Mittleman. This mix intends to shine a light on a Jazz master who is not as well known as he should be.

The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes presents Southern Northern – A Hard Soul Primer: A collection of uptempo, raw, throat shrapnel soul sounds from the currently oh so unhip Hard Soul genre. South, North, East & West, the 1960s soul scene saw any number of gospel refugees, southern soul belters & raw voiced rhythm & blues wonders laying down hundreds of recordings in an uptempo raw soul style. Today these records lie neglected & ignored, pushed to the background by the oh so hip & smoothed out Northern Soul, Modern Soul & Sweet Soul trends. Hopefully this compilation of fantastic tracks doesn’t suffer the same fate. Lovingly chosen & recorded from all original 45s by DJ Kris Holmes, host of The Long Way Home on WFMU’s Give The Drummer Radio.
