GUS MOZART'S MB/ KHSU, 90.5/ MON., 18 OCT. 2010


From Francis Ford Coppola's often wrongfully lambasted 1982 film, One From the Heart, where he built an entire set of the Las Vegas strip. Surreal, stunning and a great soundtrack provided by Tom Waits (with the vocal assistance of Crystal Gayle).

B.W.'s PLAYLIST/ KHSU, 90.5/ 16 OCT. 2010


Boston-based Mr. Airplane Man, a dynamic garage duo, comprised of Margaret Garret on guitar/vocals and Tara McManus on drums/vocals recorded a killer record, C'mon DJ, at the legendary Easly-McCain Studios in Memphis, with Reigning Sound's Greg Cartwright at the production helm (and contributing guitar parts). Unfortunately, this turned out to be the band's swan song. McManus has since formed Turpentine Brothers.
