From The Basement #78 (Joe's Garage Act XXXVIII)

1/25/2020

A tumultuous week in American History has left this somewhat addled brain and psyche absorbing more bumps and bruises than ever. My daughter Anastasia and I try to ease the pain with long sets centered on the problems and possible solutions, with a huge assist from the esteemed Adam Schiff. We have some new things from The Drive-By Truckers and Wire, a band still managing to stay relevant after 43 years, as well as another track from the great new Weeklings album, 3. We give a much deserved feel better Lloyd Cole shoutout to our dear friend Tobi and a Happy 60th to one of John Coltrane’s landmark releases. Much love to all for the support, both financial and emotional, and for listening.

From The Basement #77 (Joe's Garage Act XXVII)

1/16/2020

0 Comments

From The Basement begins 2020 by celebrating the release of the wonderful new album from The Weeklings with a visit to their basement and 3 tunes from their new record, their first in stereo, called “3.” Speaking of new stuff, Nada Surf return with a song that would be a smash if real radio still existed and the same goes for Jeff Whalen, former Tsar leader, who put out 2 of the best albums of 2019. There’s also a Gil Scott-Heron reworking, as well as terrific new stuff from Diane & The Gentlemen and Graham Parker. We’ll take some time to acknowledge the musical brilliance of Neil Peart and cultural icon Ed “Kookie” Byrnes who have left for the afterparty in the sky and my daughter Anastasia contributes a stellar set of tunes, proving once again that she’s a chip off the old block. Look for the bonus tracks from last episode at the end of the posted playlist of this one and see if you can guess this week’s nuggets before they are revealed next time. Thanks as always for your support, love and ears!

We say goodbye to 2019 and the great Neil Innis with Episode 76 of From The Basement. Happy New Year to all and thanks from the bottom of my heart for all the support, which has allowed me to continue this project and continue to recover. My daughter Anastasia joins briefly with a set for the year, and there’s even hidden bonus material following the usual Zappa closing. See you all next year and let’s all hope the best days are truly ahead. Love…. Mike.

For the first episode after becoming “Select” we dig into the new Super Deluxe Edition of Prince’s “1999” and a beautiful expanded edition of “What Is Dream” from one of my favorite bands, Mercury Rev. There’s also a great new compilation from Jon Savage that yields old faves from Crazy Horse and Detroit (featuring Mitch Ryder), a new Ben Lee cover of Built To Spill and a big band tribute to The Allman Brothers. Warren Zevon makes a long overdue appearance and Graham Parker shows up by request to mix and mingle with Wondermints, Wonder Stuff, XTC, REM, MMJ, old pals Winter House and Rachael Yamagata, Dennis Wilson, The Strawbs, Marshall Crenshaw, a new Mobile Fidelity release from Dire Straits, Wilco, The Members and World Party, to name but a few. We bid a tearful farewell to the great Iain Sutherland and a big hello to all of you. Thanks for the support and for listening.

Many have asked how to get playlists and especially offline listening/downloads of my show. This is the best way I could find to make that happen. I am charging the minimum allowed, and will be putting some members only stuff up. It removes limits, gives you the playlist up front and allows you to listen when and where you like. From The Basement will always be available as it is. Free to all. This is an option for an enhanced experience. Your support so far has been unbelievable and I sincerely thank you for being here. Here's the first exclusive for Select Subscribers.

A flurry of new releases dominate From The Basement #73 (Joe’s Garage Act XXXIII) but the show is centered around a very special new offering from Joe Henry. Warren Zanes new collection Come On Up To The House: Women Sing Waits is also represented with contributions from Aimee Mann, Corinne Bailey Rae and sisters Shelby Lynne and Allison Moorer. There’s a new album from Beck, a new tune from The Drive-By Truckers, a pair from Sir Paul McCartney, more from The Pernice Brothers and posthumous offerings from Harry Nilsson and Leonard Cohen. As if that was not enough, some historic concert material has surfaced from The Band and Jimi Hendrix. We also pay our respects to Spirit Of The West leader John Mann, who has left us at the tender age of 59. Thanks to all that have contributed to our Fall Fund Drive, you have been most generous as usual. We are always accepting offerings at https://paypal.me/pools/c/8beKwFWlHR and with The Holidays around the corner, check out some music for sale at https://www.discogs.com/user/mike_marrone it’s always just the right thing to give the gift of music.

From The Basement #72 (Joe's Garage Act XXXII)

Episode #72 (Joe’s Garage Act XXXII) is a bit heavy on nostalgia, as I have been digging through my CD collection and listing things for sale, reminding me of some great stuff I haven’t played in a while. Don’t worry, there are still some wonderful new sounds included, especially the return of A Girl Called Eddy (Erin Moran) and The Raconteurs.
We also manage to find some space for a beautiful, expanded and remastered reissue of Gene Clark’s classic “No Other” album. Speaking of sales, as part of the Mike’s Basement/Joe’s Garage Fall Fund Drive, don’t forget to visit https://www.discogs.com/user/mike_marrone and stock up, there’s new stuff added every day as I divest myself of thousands of pounds of boxes! If you are looking to simply donate to the cause, that link is https://paypal.me/pools/c/8beKwFWlHR and believe me, every donation is appreciated more than you can imagine. Thanks for listening.
