Tonight's show is a flashback to afternoons spent listening to our local indie radio station in Madison, Wisconsin, from 1982 on. It was quite a revelation and quite an education for someone who'd grown up on Top 40 and free-form FM radio.

Coel, I checked out other genres, but got heavy into jazz history, "out" Jazz, just jumped in completely. Was inspired by a college course in jazz history given by bassist Chuck Israels, who had played with Bill Evans (he had to be absent for a week. His sub was Lee Konitz, who put on Miles' On The Corner, pulled out his alto, played and stopped the record to say, "listen to this!"). I didn't actually realize who they were, but they got me hooked. .
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:56pm
Parq:

Larry, help me if you can. There was a New York band from that scene, played a lot of gigs but never broke out of local status. The lead singer wore his guitar slung very high, almost tucked under his arm, and sang in a reedy voice that was reminiscent of Feargal Sharkey. They came across as sort of an updated version of Gerry and the Pacemakeers. They had an "S" name. That's all I can remember. Anybody?

TDK @10.52 -it's just that i'd seen my favorite 60s bands turn to shit in the mid-70s; then all my favorite punk bands turn to shit fairly quickly.(usually after 1-3 albums. 4 for the cure) by the early 80s i lost faith in "punk rock" and focused mostly on hardcore (and classical music) then the hardcore got kinda boring, + the skinhead element was growing...so i checked out. cultivated an intimate relationship with the shanachie record label!
