Confession time. I really miss being able to speak properly, which is sort of a conundrum since the least favorite part of my professional life was talking into a microphone. Sometimes it was ok and I felt comfortable, but more often than not I hated the sound of my voice. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy public speaking, loved performing in the plays and bands I was in and am certainly not shy. Do not let me sing though. I love communicating with people, answering questions and have always been “that guy” … starting random conversations everywhere from supermarkets to elevators and especially record stores. I embarrass my wife and daughter and if I see a dog they will actually pretend they don’t know me. The last 6 years however, have been a constant struggle to make sure I was being understood, as the tooth loss increased I tried everything I could think of to annunciate correctly. From avoiding certain words to inventing characters (Flayler McSeesh, Art Damage, etc) and utilizing AI voices with robust audio editing, script writing and constant frustration. I never worked this way. All of those stats and information about the music (or Baseball) were in my head and if I didn’t know it, I didn’t say it. Sure there were times some advance research was required but I never used notes. No phony “radio voice.” My real name. no liner cards or tricks. It was always front of mind to talk to, not at, the listener. A radio show… never a shift. A conversation. Prior to R-EPOCH Chemo, the only words on the elimination list were drawer and temperature (Hi, Loretta). Beginning 2 months after the final session, the cancer was gone but the damage was just revealing itself. My memory was hammered but thankfully returned in bursts within the first year or so, which was very freaky. For example, standing on line at NJ DMV and having my 15 digit original drivers license number pop in my head. It had been 30 years since I lived here. Although it may come off as such, this is not a complaint. It’s an explanation. I am a very lucky man (Cotillion/Atlantic, 1970, SD 9040) and deeply grateful to be on this side of the turf.
Now the good news. I have been fitted with dentures, which are almost finished and the dentist is aware of my profession and determined that speaking and eating will not be a problem. My last fitting had my wife, the dentist, his assistant and even me amazed at the clarity of my speaking voice. I am very enthused but will still be leaving out the words drawer and temperature. Love you, Lorider. He also said that I will be able to order and devour a sub from the legendary White House Subs in Atlantic City, a ten minute ride from my house. I’ll be careful now that the waistline is down to 33, an inability to bite into anything has resulted in returning my old ass just about to my playing weight. As Monty Python taught us, always look on the bright side of life. I truly believe I have done that from the start but this is happening just as the end of my tether is approaching. On to music… This episode contains new offerings from Ella Fitzgerald, Pink Floyd, Panda Bear, Aaron Lee Tasjan, Chris Ballew, Queens of the Stone Age, The Rolling Stones, Yard Act, Nine Inch Nails, eels, Leon Bridges, U2, Jack White, Dinosaur Jr., The Weeklings, Paul Collins, The Waterboys and Colin Clue. The library offerings include PJ Harvey, Thievery Corporation, Soft Machine, Al Green, Dave Van Ronk, Frank Sinatra, David Sylvian, Joe Cocker, Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, Sonny Rollins, Charlie Parker & Stan Getz, Morphine, Radiohead, Lee Dorsey, The Shangri-Las, The Pontiac Brothers and a ton more. When I scanned the new Coldplay live album I noticed “We Never Change” was included and planned on playing it. However it was a pitiful performance not even worthy of a half assed Branson gig. It remains my favorite song ever by the band and made me a fan way back at the beginning. I still love the song, so I used the version from the first album. They should be ashamed of themselves. Thanks to all for the support.

One of my favorite humans in the whole world is Honey Harris. I had the great fortune of working with Honey at Coyote Radio in Santa Fe, but even if we hadn’t made our acquaintance there, I firmly believe our paths would have eventually crossed somewhere along the way. Only “The Hunster” could have transformed the inner trauma turning 70 caused my fragile psyche a week or so ago back with a simple explanation, “Mike dear, all this means is you have reached Level 7, I’m so proud of you.” It’s like John Lee Hooker and Carlos Santana created “The Healer” to explain the magic this woman possesses. As the wise man known to us at the time as the New Age Charlie Manson espoused all those years ago, “Santa Fe is a magical place, Mr. Phone.”
Although a few weeks away from being able to speak properly, thanks to Honey I have entered Level 7 with a renewed commitment to continue the musical discovery path and the obliteration of dreaded and restrictive genre designations getting in the way of recommendations, exposure and absorption of a challenging and expanding musical palette. All the parts uncovered are included. Some new things from an artist I never heard of named Colin Clue, and others I have like Ryan Adams, The Jayhawks, Placebo, Kanye West, Chris Stamey, Modest Mouse, the reformed Haircut 100 (with Nick Heyward) and Jim James. The massive and beautiful “Wheels Of Fire” deluxe set from Cream yield the phase corrected recordings of “Sitting On Top Of The World” and “Politician,” a first generation mixing board Zeppelin recording from NYC in 1975 will blow you away with fidelity and musicianship and most still have no idea why Oliver Tree is perhaps the most important artist to leave the planet lately. Speaking of the mighty Zeppelin, until last week I had never heard The Long Winters version of “In The Light” or Chris Walla’s brilliant recording of “In The Evening.” There are musical connections made from Can to Hank Snow, Firewater to Bunk Johnson and Dean Martin to Radiohead. There are tunes you’ve never heard to a few you likely know quite well, but none of that matters. What does is that if you keep your mind and ears open, you just never know what might make its way to the center of your musical soul. Just ask Scott or Mr. Lawford and if you’re lucky one day you may locate your own Honey Harris. 
I am finding it difficult to wrap my head around this particular birthday for many reasons, with the most pressing being the fact that my Pop passed away at 70. Our Birthdays have been linked since I showed up, as his was/is June 22. Toss in Father’s Day and it was always a calendar highlight. I am honestly not afraid, per say, of death. After all, that is the big question everyone is faced with throughout their lives on this planet. And you can add me to the list that attests “they” have all been correct warning that it does pass rapidly, the 50th was when that solidified in my brain, as it certainly feels more like 5 years ago than 20. Out of all the things I’ve watched, read or listened to regarding the subject I believe Albert Brooks may be the closest to it with his brilliant film, “Defending Your Life.” Every year I pull it out for a viewing and like the best records in my collection, it only improves with age. I just hope Rip Torn is available to be my lawyer. Music is the secret ingredient that keeps me feeling younger than my actual age and I feel lucky that I found and followed my passion from childhood, at least once I realized I would never grow up to play shortstop for The Yankees, which was the original plan.

I have taken the liberty to include a recent missive from William Goldsmith in the intro to this episode. There is no script, this is strictly from the heart and mind of an intelligent and passionate radio and music lover just a couple of years my senior. Bill invented Radio Paradise nearly 3 decades ago and although our personal music taste is widely divergent, we are of the same mind regarding the ignored and corrupted power of what radio can still be. What it needs to be in order to thrive in the modern era, how it is the last best hope to continue to urge our musical culture forward. I often compare what he and I share is the desire, and in some cases curse of the Sisyphus boulder up the mountain approach to broadcasting. I guess it was inevitable we would meet, but wish it was 30 years ago.. While my mouth is currently under construction you will not hear anything from my voice for a bit, but that will not stop the flow of new episodes. Planting Seeds #029 contains part 2 of “Dave Mason, Rest In Peace, Light and Love: A Tribute.” In addition, we remember the monumental musical contribution of Pharoah Sanders. Explore stunning new releases from Social Distortion, The Afghan Whigs, Rival Sons, The Claypool/Lennon Delirium and Peter Gabriel. Remastered and reissued brilliance from Eddie Hazel, Eagles and Al Green and even we can’t believe there is a recording of Duane Allman jamming with Jimi Hendrix. As ever, thank you for listening and joining the quest for the perfect segue, there are so many more yet discovered.

Sorry I have been missing in action for a few weeks but it couldn’t be helped. Now that one of my dental implants has fallen out, I can’t speak clearly anyway and need to finalize a workable, semi-affordable solution as quickly as possible. Taking this time thankfully, we have. Now I unquestionably know that another implant can not be done, as the R-EPOCH Chemo has withered away my bones.The work begins on May 18. With a deluge of new releases, including re-issues piling up, it’s “droolface be damned” and let’s get to a show. I hope you can understand me, if not just email your question and I’ll get back to you ASAP. It’s primarily new stuff, 4 hours worth, so get ready for mushmouth and thanks for listening.

Here we go again my friends. Yet more dental trauma has paid me a visit. Ever since the life saving REPOCH-Chemo regimen that I went through in 2018, I have been the victim of tooth loss, which has not only messed with my voice but also my head. I thought I was finished but the other night and an implant that cost me over 20K in 2013 literally just fell out. Once again, I am Gumby, damn it! I’ve tried to enlighten those that tell me how I kicked cancer’s ass, oh no, nobody kicks cancer’s ass, it’s all about surviving the treatment. I no longer have the bone mass to get another, not that I could afford it anyway, so I will need to have dentures fitted and just hope for the best. Hopefully this will all be worked out before “Agent Orange” manages to actually start WWIII and we all get evaporated. The unhinged messiah has certainly been on a non-stop rampage of greed and insanity to the point where I have ceased wondering how much lower before he finally hits the bottom. At this point I’m convinced there simply isn’t one. And I’m so damn tired of hearing that whiny voice and seeing his painted pout adorning the front of his brainless noggin. He has tortured us long enough.
But as that great old tune from War says, he can’t take away our music. You won’t hear that in episode #026, but there’s a bountiful selection of new, old and in between sonic delights to keep our minds enlightened and entertained. Stevie Wonder and Barack Obama have new messages for you and there are new releases from The Dandy Warhols, Joe Pernice (with Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub), The Afghan Whigs, The Third Mind, The Black Crowes, Snail Mail, Pulp, Craig Benedict Badynee, The Tedeschi Trucks Band, Son Little, The Pale White and the 50th Anniversary deluxe edition of the Zappa/Beefheart collaboration “Bongo Fury.” I raided the archives for the late great John Hammond recorded live on my Coyote Radio show in 1994, and busted open my secret stash of Cold War era madness just in case.
As always, thanks for the support and encouragement. It is your ears and heart that really keep this ship above water.

The Details
Back at the turn of the century I was deep into the process of building a channel tentatively called Clean Air for XM Satellite Radio in Washington, DC. My only staff was the most amazing production Dude I have ever had the pleasure to work with by the name of Pants. That’s right… Pants. Although we were told at the hiring bonfire celebration we would each have plenty of help, once we got down to it, that was not to be due to (what else) money. This special collection of weirdos, misfits, actual respected broadcasting stars and perhaps the last of the true radio rebels were gathered in the palatial and muddy property of Lee Abrams. The day’s mission was to bring any radio paraphernalia from a lifetime in the radio trenches, specifically from bad gigs. Our job would be to drink, jam (backline was all set up), chant and circle a giant bonfire while burning the faded prize closet memories of how disgusting the programming and environment of radio had become. To a person, everyone there started their radio journey in love with radio, music and broadcasting. By the year 2000 Corporate America had surgically excised the creative, passionate professionals that lived to keep the spirit of adventure and excitement for music discovery and human connection alive on the airwaves. From coast to coast, as well as Canada, Jamaica, The U.K. and beyond, Lee Abrams and Dave Logan had searched and somehow convinced all of us to move to the Washington, DC area and work in one of the absolute worst areas of the District. The days would be long, it was not very safe to leave the building so food would need to be brought in, there would be no posted time-off for at least 2 years, the building was up and running 24/7. I averaged at least 80 hours a week during those years, and with 1 or maybe 2 exceptions so did every member of XM Programming. It was the best job I ever had. Every day was an adventure, the creative energy in the building and studios was palpable, alive and buzzing with activity, purpose and excitement. I stayed for 17 years. I don’t regret it and remain proud of the work I did, but I should have left a year after the takeover disguised as a merger.
I’ve been thinking about this lately due to the daily grind of greed, stupidity, blatant lies and grift that has our country in what can best be described as a death grip. Every single time this regime hits a new low I hope for the clown show to finally implode. But you know what? Fuck hope. There is another reason that I found my mind drifting back to my XM days and it has to do with this very episode of Planting Seeds, namely the new album from Bonnie “Prince” Billy, “We Are Together Again.” Back at the beginning of The Loft, I was not as familiar with the work of Will Oldham, aka Bonnie “Prince” Billy, as well as Palace, Palace Music, Palace Brothers and Palace Songs. Spooner Oldham, yes but not Will. Even before the station went live everywhere, when we were still in Beta Test mode, I was getting regular messages from one particular person concerning Will/Bonnie. In essence I was a complete dick for not including him in my programming. OK, I’ll bite. Maybe I am. No one can know everything. As the frequency of messages increased, again from just one person. I was getting a bit pissed to be honest, but as usual I searched out some of his stuff, found it interesting and eventually played it a bit. That’s how I came across Bill Callahan (aka Smog), who I immediately liked a whole bunch more, and when one of my heroes Gil Scott-Heron recorded the Smog song “I’m New Here” and used it as the title track of his final album, that sealed it. Over the past few years I have been enjoying Will’s music a lot more, finding it really did grow on me. In fact one of the songs on the album he and Bill Callahan put out in 2021 is a veritable favorite I play quite often, “OD’d In Denver.” I didn’t even realize it was a cover of a Hank Williams Jr. song until this week. See, no one can know everything. So I cracked open the new album and I’m enjoying it but reaching track #5 I feel as if I was just hit in the head with a brick. Within 30 seconds there are tears streaming down my face and catching my breath is a problem. The song is called “(Everybody’s Got a) Friend Named Joe.” BOOM! I certainly had a friend named Joe. My best pal, Joey Bolt aka Joe Cerach. He dropped dead at 60 from a massive heart attack, not even a month after we moved into Absecon. I think about him every day and have started dialing his number countless times over the past few years. They broke the mold with Joey and the song opens this episode after the intro. From The Basement #111 from 2021 was a Joey Bolt Memorial episode and is still up at Mike’s Basement if you get an itch to check it out LINK.
Now that I was already sad, of course I realized we are approaching what would have been the 70th Birthday of the only other Best Friend I’ve ever had, John Coakley aka “Max.” Max passed in September of 2022 and I found myself pulling up FTB #188, which was his musical memorial for the first time since I made it and hope somehow he got a chance to hear it as he would have loved it. That one can still be found HERE. Gersheft is Gersheft Dr. Max. Needless to say there are many “feels” contained in ps025, with new things from the aforementioned Bonnie “Prince” Billy and Bill Callahan, as well as Brian Jackson w/ Masters At Work, Mark Lockheart, Huw V Williams & Jay Davis (Shapeshifter), Crooked Fingers, Gnarls Barkley, Cee-Lo & Danger Mouse, Nine Inch Nails and Captain Wilberforce. Raided the library for connective sonic tissue from Ken Nordine, Sigur Rós, John Lennon, Jimmy LaFave, David Sylvian + Ryuichi Sakamoto, Eddie & the Hot Rods, The Fall, Spooky Tooth, Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes, Eels, Tom Waits, A Tribe Called Quest, James Brown, The Devlins, Placebo (w/Michael Stipe), Lou Rawls fronting Les McCann Ltd and a batch more.
Thanks for your ears and heart and all the support. Keep a good thought for Max and Joey and give yourselves a hug from me.

A quick turnaround due to wanting to give the new studio gear a bit of a workout, absolutely loving this new setup. Another factor was the new U2 EP, with Larry Mullin Jr. back at full strength I feel this to be their strongest work in some time. Speaking of new, Peter Gabriel releases the “Dark Side” mix of “Put The Bucket Down” and in addition to some remastered recordings, an unearthed live performance of Jimi Hendrix sitting in with Eric Burdon and War at Ronnie Scott’s in London was more than enough reason to get the studio fired up.
Thanks, as always, for your ears, heart and support.
