Couple of mini-tributes in this show, to start with for Jim Carroll and to close with Patrick Swayze. Now Jim Carroll is a no-brainer, but I might have lost some cool points with a few of you with a tribute to Patrick Swayze. However, if you grew up in the 80s/90s, it’s hard to name an actor more involved in some seriously entertaining films, The Outsiders, Red Dawn, Road House, Point Break and of course Dirty Dancing and Ghost, many of which are the textbook definition of a guilty pleasure. I defy you to turn the channel when any of these are on the tube on a Saturday afternoon…but I digress.
Brand new music this week from Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Built To Spill, Thao & the Get Down Stay Down, Calvin Harris, Kid Congo, Lou Barlow, The Raveonettes and Breakestra. Classics liberally spread throughout the show from Captain Beefheart, Yachts, The Pogues, Kraftwerk, Birthday Party and a wild funky one from Sugar Billy Gardner (got to highlight that record here soon). Catch it on demand (for real this time!) until the next one…
