Nearly 15 years ago, in October 2006 I dedicated my first-ever show on the WFMU weekly schedule to Jim McIntyre, a/k/a Jimmy Mack, who was one of my best friends in high school. Jimmy started volunteering at Boston's legendary rock radio station WBCN while we were in high school, and before long his passion, dedication and enthusiasm earned him the position of Music Director at the station. Jimmy was the person who turned me on to a TON of new music that was coming out at the time: Cheap Trick, The Dictators, The Ramones, The Stranglers, Ultravox, and Television are just a few of the bands that I first heard of because of my friendship with Jimmy. Imagine being in your teens in the '70s and having a friend turn you on to just ONE of those bands. Now increase that impact tenfold, or more, and you start to get an idea of the importance of Jimmy's friendship. OK, not every band he turned me on to was super-cool — he gave me the first couple of Foreigner albums, for instance — but still, Jimmy had a great ear for cool music that wasn't yet and often never became part of the mainstream. Fortunately for me — and for you — Jimmy's excitement and passion for discovering and sharing new music was matched by his generosity. Nearly every time I saw him he'd present me with a bag of extra (or rejected) promo records from his WBCN job. Many of those records remain favorites of mine to this day. In the summer of 1985, Jimmy learned he had AIDS. A year later he passed away, at the age of 25. As you can see from the obituary that ran in the Boston Globe, shown above (click it for a larger image), he was as generous with his time as he was with records. Regrettably I had lost contact with Jimmy by this time, and didn't learn of his passing until a few years later. I dedicated that first weekly show on the regular WFMU schedule to Jimmy to acknowledge his impact on my life, and especially on my own musical tastes. Since then I've dedicated one of the first shows of the WFMU fall schedule to him, since his influence is never too far from what you hear me play on my show. Thanks for taking a moment to read about him, and thanks for listening to WFMU. |

Hey tell FMU to post the rules of conduct somewhere: if I would have known conversations like that weren’t allowed I wouldn’t have been speaking like that during Ken’s show.
Thanks.
Enjoy the rest of your show!

""I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot."
