From The Basement #93 (Joe's Garage Act LIII)

7/25/2020

We say goodbye to Emitt Rhodes with an extended set of his timeless Pop and a brief nod to the legendary Peter Green, since news of his passing came during the show. Expect a longer tribute next time to one of the most distinct and influential guitar players to emerge from the UK Blues Explosion of the mid-60s. New music will be spun from Jeff Tweedy, Lucinda Williams, A Girl Called Eddy, Chris Stamey & The Fellow Travelers, Matt Berninger, Wayne Hussey, The Waterboys, Inter Arma and more. Recently unearthed musical treasure arrives from Prince, The Stones with Jimmy Page and Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers and a 40th Anniversary nod to Joy Division. There’s a big announcement from Anastasia regarding future plans and we manage to blend in everything from Bobby Hebb to Michael Hedges, Jon Hassell to Jill Scott and Tom Waits to Television. Thanks for your continued and very generous support at https://paypal.me/pools/c/8beKwFWlHR. Please stay safe and don’t forget to VOTE.

From The Basement #91 (Joe's Garage Act LI)

Two years ago today I was sitting in a hospital in Maryland beginning the R-EPOCH chemotherapy regimen for Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Last year I was in Colorado with my daughter Anastasia getting a central line implanted for treatment she was told would last the rest of her life. Today, I woke up in our dear friend’s Joe & Robin’s house in NJ cancer free. Anastasia's here and that port in her chest has been removed, she's feeling stronger and in charge. These FTB shows have been a large part of the healing process, the support, encouragement and love that have flowed back to me is a main reason I survived. The financial support has been a lifeline for my family during what can best be described as terrifying and uncharted. The overwhelming birthday wishes received today solidified that the best way to spend the start of my 64th was playing records with you. It’s a different kind of episode, so get comfy and leave some room for cake. https://paypal.me/pools/c/8beKwFWlHR

From The Basement #90 (Joe's Garage Act L)

There’s so much happening for a country standing still. Up is down, down is up and we are definitely not all together… goo goo ga joob. On the bright side, equipment problems are thankfully in the past and we are all still here, so let’s just play some music together. Episode 90 finds a new Reggae tribute to Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson from The Archives that is quite timely, as well as new things from Bettye LaVette, Joseph Arthur, Travis, Elvis Costello, Glen Hansard, Winterpills, John Scofield (with Steve Swallow and Bill Stewart), Neil Finn (with Stevie Nicks & Christine McVie), Ben Gibbard, Bob Mould, Chuck Prophet, Jazz Sabbath, The Explorers Club and Trashcan Sinatras. Anastasia and I will pull some goodies from John Lennon, The Blue Nile, Grapes Of Wrath, Johnny Thunders, The Clash, Ian Hunter and a ton more to make everything work if you let it. This is a long one with gratitude and love for all your support. Thanks for listening and being you. Really. https://paypal.me/pools/c/8beKwFWlHR

Promises Promises

I have had an equipment hiccup in the temporary HQ of Joe's Garage, which at best case scenario makes recording a new show unlikely until about 6/11 or 6/12. Let's hope for the best. In the interim, as promised, I will make some old shows from my days at The Loft available. Here are 2 such examples. First is the complete Saturday show from June 17, 2017 and an episode of After Dark from my 61st Birthday, June 20, 2017. No playlist available for this you will need to wing it, like I did putting it together. Best experienced after dark as designed. Thanks so much for your continued support at https://paypal.me/pools/c/8beKwFWlHR and your wonderful notes, even the ones without dead presidents on them.

I am having studio problems in Joe's Garage and am unable to do a new show right now. I'll get it all fixed soon but in the meantime here's a full show from 3 years ago. At the time of recording we had just come back on the satellites after being taken down for Memorial Day. I was starting to feel sick but ignored it, chalking it up to too much stress at work. Little did I know. To see the playlist... go here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7Mlh0jipIeiZkl4Q0ZaYWdRLTQ/view?usp=sharing
This one is for everyone but I will be posting the next day's show for Select Subscribers only by tomorrow. Stay safe, wash your hands and hope for things to get better.

From The Basement #89 (Joe's Garage Act XLIX)

5/22/2020

An extra long edition of From The Basement finds us again saying goodbye. This time it’s Little Richard, Phil May of The Pretty Things, Jerry Stiller, Moon Martin and “Sweet Pea” Atkinson of Was (Not Was) fame. Not all passed due to Covid 19 but I did lose a dear friend to the pandemic by the name of Robert Kopcho. We knew him as “Chopper” or “Bobby” and in more ways than one he leaves a huge hole in our hearts. We’ll make a nod to Memorial Day and offer up some great new stuff from Wilco, Steve Earle, Neil Young, Matt Berninger, Jason Isbell, Butch Walker, White Denim, The Magnetic Fields, Peter Himmelman, Michael McDermott, The Jayhawks and the return of Badly Drawn Boy. Stay safe, wash your hands and thanks to all for your support at https://paypal.me/pools/c/8beKwFWlHR.

Days continue to blur into weeks as we continue our journey through the Trumplite Zone of 2020, the only centering lane to be found in these parts comes through the music, which thankfully never stops. On this episode of FTB there are new sonic delights from Nick Cave, Dramarama, Steve Forbert, Will Hoge, Birdthrower (produced by Ben Harper), Damien Jurado, American Aquarium, Car Seat Headrest, Peter Holsapple & Chris Stamey, Fantastic Negrito and perennial FTB faves The Pernice Brothers. We’ll link Prince with T. Rex, The Chambers Brothers, The Cavedogs, David Bowie, Craig Finn, Typhoon, Dion, The Cars and many more. We bid another farewell, this time to longtime Stranglers keyboard legend David Greenfield and keep hoping for a brighter tomorrow. Thanks for your generous support through donations at https://paypal.me/pools/c/8beKwFWlHR. It keeps us believing there are like-minded humans still around.

From The Basement #87 (Joe's Garage Act XLVII)

As the days and weeks go by it feels at times like we are living in a Science Fiction novel. That said there are no soundbites from The Orange Butt Trumpet in this episode, mostly due to the fact that we simply can’t stand to hear that voice. Instead let us surround ourselves with new music from EOB (Ed O’Brien of Radiohead), a brand new tune for the current covid conditions by The Rolling Stones, Vanessa Peters covering The Pernice Brothers, Bill Laswell, Liam Hayes, Jesse Malin, David Bromberg, Sea Wolf, Bob Dylan and a pair of new tunes from Randy Newman and Mavis Staples that remind us to stay away together. We say a prayer for Wreckless Eric and premiere yet another Pandemic inspired song from Groucho & Professor Wagstaff. This is all just the tip of the sonic iceberg as we continue to take everything a day at a time. Thanks for your generous support at https://paypal.me/pools/c/8beKwFWlHR and for spending some time with us.

Episode #86 features new things from The Dream Syndicate, Car Seat Headrest, Cowboy Junkies, The Strokes, Dramarama, Liam Hayes, Asgeir, Monarch, Wayne Alpern and a timely new update of John Lennon’s “Isolation” from the unlikely duo of Jeff Beck & Johnny Depp, brilliantly supported by the amazing Vinnie Colaiuta on drums. Anastasia digs deep for a nice long set and we’ll focus quality quarantine listening with Leonard Cohen, Peter Gabriel, Sunny Day Real Estate, Caspian, Elvis Costello, Be Bop Deluxe, Wye Oak, The Zombies, Tom Waits, The Stones and so much more. Heartfelt thanks for not forgetting to continue your support of this program through https://paypal.me/pools/c/8beKwFWlHR. We truly couldn’t do it without you. Stay safe.
