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.

Before Argentinian-Swedish singer/songwriterJose Gonzalez's solo career took off, he was in the band Junip, formed by Gonzalez and friends, Tobias Winterkorn (keyboards, percussion) and drummer Elias Araya, in the late '90's. Art school and solo careers postponed a full-length by Junip, until recently, with the excellent release of Fields. Fans of Gonzelez's solo work will not be disappointed with this collaborative effort, adding a beat and old keyboards to give Gonazelez's lyrics and guitar playing more of a pulse.

The original LP cover of Jesus of Cool, by producer, singer/songwriter Nick Lowe, released in 1978. It was the debut solo record by "The Basher." The rest is history. Mr. Lowe will be on a rare U.S. tour with Elvis Costello. They will be singing one another's songs. He'll also be touring with a full band (another rarity!), including old bandmates, Brinsley Schwartz and Bob Andrews (former members of The Rumour). Graham Parker will also be opening for Lowe on a few dates (Lowe had produced a number of Parker's early records). Click here for more details!

Blondie, circa 1978, hanging out in the mean streets of Manhattan, which was going through an economic spiral (sounds familiar), but it also allowed the movements like the CBGB scene to flourish. Also, the rents were very cheap, then.
