Backup Vocals/Overdub Show - 8/17/09

What I would consider to be many fine examples of backup singing or the use of vocal overdub from the post-punk era or at least, post-mid 70s era. And why I consider that to be a BIG DEAL and why hopefully everyone else should too. Then throw in a little personal, romantic woolgathering and that was my show tonight. Here's the link to listen to it. Well not here, below:

Excellent show, I listened to most of if live on the radio stream. I like adding your podcasts to my ipod to listen to later.
By the way, the link to your blog is broken on this page:

Thanks so much, Scott. I'm really glad you liked it.

I did know about the broken link on the PCR site. I've reported it as a problem but it doesn't seem to be easily fixable somehow.

Alex: Thanks for the great show(s). I listen to your show every week, and wanted to let you know how much they are enjoyed and appreciated (something I think more often than I say). I hope you continue on with the broadcasts for a long time to come, as the educational comments you provide are as entertaining as the music played. Thanks again Alex!
