  • NPR Interview With George Clinton Mentions Frankie Valli

    February 18, 2009

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    George Clinton, who could be categorized as the Master of Funk, was originally part of the doo op band The Parliaments.  During this period, he lived close to both the The Monotones who wrote the song "(Who Wrote) The Book Of Love," and the The Four Seasons – who incidentally released a cover of "Book Of Love" on the Big Girls Don't Cry CD distributed by Rhino Records in 1995. 

    These doo op memories of George Clinton come compliments of an interviewed on NPR. According to the interview, his band The Monotones, and members of the Four Seasons (probably before they were called Four Seasons) competed against each other in local New Jersey battle of the band contests.

  • Some Music Podcast Recommendations – Interviews, Blues, Rock, Classical, Electronic

    February 8, 2009

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    I have a pretty wide set of musical tastes that includes more than just the Jersey Boys, and Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons.

    There were recently several interesting music related podcasts from San Diego's KPBS These Days:

    • The Bird and The Bee
    • West Indian Girl
    • Oxford American's Southern Music Issue
    • Earl Thomas Performs In Studio (Video)
    • In Studio Presentation Of A Stradivarius Violin

    When I'm in the mood for the blues I always turn to The Roadhouse podcast.

    When I'm in the mood for classical music, I find WGBH Classical Performance Podcast to be great.  I also find the classical feed on CBC Radio 2 to be a nice streaming option.

    The Magnatune "great pianist" podcast is very good if you want something 'lite' playing in the background.

    The Alternative Classix Podcast is a well produced and researched 80s 'new wave' radio show you will not be disappointed with.

    For those that like electronica and/or techno … I highly recommend:

    • SomaFM's Grove Salad
    • IndieFeed:Electornica
    • DJ Amber's iamthedj podcast
    • DJ Steve Boy's podrunner
    • Radio 538: Tiesto's Club Life

    If you want something more mellow but still pretty electronic then check out the Ultima Thule Ambient Music podcast.

    I also enjoy the Coverville podcast and the Rock'N'Roll Geek podcast.
